Something About Nothing.......#4

[the Dark Marauder]

My car is being a pain in the posterior. I checked the tire pressure in the one tire I *know* is giving me a problem. It's fine.

I'm going tomorrow to get a balancing/rotation/replacement. I have to be there (the tire place) by 8am to ensure I can leave by 1030am.

I also have to get the engine sludge removed. Until then, I bought an additive to help reduce sludge.

Cars = annoying.

car problems really suck don't they..........


i spent 2 weeks of using my air compressor to fill up tires that were losing air.
then took them to the garage and they patched 2 of the tires that had a slow leak.

1 week later picked up a nail in one of the tires.

i said, screw it, i'm just replacing all of them.

i know, it's not the way to take care of car problems but i was exasperated over the aggravation of having flat tires.


hope you can get yours taken care of darkie.
it does beat riding a bike to work in the heat and humidity you have down there..

Hey all.

Don't have much time to DIS these days. Waiting for the umpteenth load of laudry to finish, so I thought I'd stop in.

The spring cleaning bug finally passed, right around the time the heat wave hit. Seemed to zap all that excess energy that I had.

The boys are enjoying each other mostly, only seem to annoy each other once or twice a day. I'll take it.

Finally took Joshua to see Speed Racer, which I enjoyed. After the dismal showing at the box office and the bad reviews, I wasn't expecting much, but I have to say that I thought it was a fun movie. More of a story line than I anticipated in a based-on-a-cartoon movie and they captured the individual characters well. If you accept that the cartoon made *ahem* a long time ago was intended to be about a futuristic race car and the people who surround it, then give them artistic license to make a movie now about a futuristic race car and the people who surround it, you'll probably have a good time watching it. If you expect something that looks like an old Speed Racer cartoon, you'll hate it.

Anyway, I just thought I'd pop in and say Hi.

i took in the new Indy show on wednesday afternoon by myself.

all i can say is i had the best popcorn of the week there.

now i know why the reviews were down the toilet on that one.

good to see you tricia!

have you had to resort to the duct tape on the deck yet for the little?
if you do, use sunscreen on the little guy.

I haven't had to duct tape a child onto the back deck... yet. I have used the phrase "Go find Daddy" quite a bit when Brad was home.

Daniel turns 3 in just over 3 weeks. Maybe the so called "terrible twos" will just magically disappear then. I know I'm delusional. Let me hang on to the fantasy for a few more days, 'kay?

Hi all-

Handyman came this morning to fix the holes in our garage wall that border our neighbors garage. That's done with, phew!

Listening to classic disco right now on AOL radio. I'm the disco queen, always have been

Went out to dinner last night with DH. My mom watched the kids for a couple of hours. Went out to Lou Malnati's pizza- down the street from me.
It was crazy/busy there last night! It was almost a 40 min wait to be seated We waited 20 min and then the hostess said our table was ready. Well, she showed us a table in the bar area which was the only table/booth open at the time. I told her no, we are not sitting there, this is our wedding anniversary- we wanted something more quiet. So we waited almost 20 more min to be seated again. I was not in the best of moods at first, but then I settled once we were seated. Had already put the pizza order in while we were waiting to be seated. Pizza was good!
We also had the chocolate chip pizza for dessert. Yum! that stuff is good!
Chocolate chip pizza is vanilla ice cream on top of a warm choc. chip cookie with lots of whip cream on top.
It was nice to get away from the kids a couple of hours. We did bring home leftover stuffed pizza which the kids wanted anyways
The restaurant was so crowded last night for a weeknight. I guess alot of families didn't want to cook last night I guess the economy doesn't affect my area of where I live People like to spend money
in my area I suppose.

Tricia- glad to see you here! Glad your spring cleaning is over.GLad Joshua is doing well

Marcie- glad to see you here, too!

Hi Mac

Sharon- I liked the pics of your DS's graduation. You have a beautiful family

Hi to all

So sad to hear about the boy scouts that died in the tornado in Nebraska/ Iowa I'm always afraid of that, if my DS goes camping, etc.

I just heard Tim Russert died from a heart attack

Ok,enough sad talk.

WTH.

My car has been shaking, even when idle, and really badly when driving, especially uphill/accelerating.

Going to get tires balanced/rotated tomorrow.

Sorry I haven't been around, but no time to sit, relax and DIS. Trip is in less than 2 weeks and I'm busy. Busy: getting ready, at home and especially work. 10 hour days are not unheard of prior to my vacations I'd like to try to come home from vacation to a 'clean' house....still a realistic goal for me

I wish everyone well and a great summer start!

Time for bed...work early tomorrow

ps---Lawrence, are we set for the 10th for Dragons? You leave the 11th, dontcha?

 

[roseprincess]

Good morning homies-

Tracie- Welcome back from vacation! I'll have to read your trip report soon.


Want to wish all the dads and guys here a Happy Fathers Day! A day early.

Homies- Family and I are leaving a week from today!
I haven't been on a plane in 4 years.
I have some technical plane- boarding questions, whoever can answer them.
First, I know I need drivers' liscences for DH and I. for identification to board the plane. Can I use my kids' library cards(they have their names w/ their pictures on them) for identification, to board the plane? Anyone know?

Also, is their a certain liquid restriction - the 3 ounce liquid restriction thing to bring on carry-on? I know a yr or two ago they had that restriction. I don't know if that is still the case. Is there a 3 ounce liquid restriction also for regular luggage, not on carry- on? Please let me know. Thanks!!
Any help appreciated!!
These airline restrictions are confusing me.

As long as your kids are not 18 or over they will not need id and the 3 ounce thing is still in effect for boarding but does not apply for luggage you check in .
