Something About Nothing..........#5

[Tinker-tude]

I got a solution to the pet problem mac,go all hardwood floors.Thats what we did.Our cat has hairball problems also!!Now all I got to do is bring in the yard furniture and get rid of the $1000 couch that the cat detrmined was a scratching post

If you never want your cat to puke, just stop feeding it. That's cheaper than new floors. Coincidentally, that will cure the scratching, too.

On a personal ketchup note:

We went looking for new carpet and tile for the master bathroom yesterday afternoon. Our master bathroom is a horrible mess of black tile counters that weren't installed correctly, and thick 70s brown carpet through the ENTIRE bathroom. The padding has been rotting for who knows how many years with bathing and overflowing toilets. Yes, the former owner never had the septic tank serviced in ten years, so it overflowed almost everytime we flushed it for a few weeks. Onto thick brown carpet.

I've been wanting to replace it ever since we moved into this house over a year ago. It smells so bad it gives me a headache if I'm in there for too long. DH is on a fix-it-up kick, which I really appreciate! So we're replacing all the dark poop brown carpet with earthy reddish hued tile in the tub area, and low green carpet and countertop in the dressing area. I'm so excited! Next we'll replace the wallpaper, but that can wait a little while. When it's done, I'm hoping it looks like a Victorian English family living in India.

Sixty-five days until UO/IoA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the cat that pukes moved when my one son moved out a week ago monday.
i still miss that puking dimwit though...

i have a super dooper shamoo=er/ steamer for the carpets.
didn't want to do the carpets while the bad kitty lived with us.

i am fond of carpeting. i grew up with hard wood floors and vowed never to have them in my home.

i think that comes from all the childhood memories of the beatings when i would roller skate in mom's living room and hallway............

the other cat has cancer and what comes out of her is the other end.
that stuff is easier to clean up than puke.
puke leaves a telltale stain no matter what i do...

Thanks for the comments on the yard gang!

Mac ... you are more than welcome to come trick or treat at our house next year ... it might be a bit of a drive though (only about 1,700 miles or so)

ok, i take that an an invitation.............

bonny/lee, you really do your yard up great!

you should video when the kids come up and lee scares the water out of them on t & ting night...

your pics are fantastic


tudeanator, lucky ducky, the Mr. is going to remodel the place.
but do you have to help and do all the clean up?

Hello all...

Well another busy weekend down and many more to come . The Holidays are already coming and well soon it will be time for .

This is a VERY ,VERY Sad weekend for us . Saturday was our last Coaster riding day until the spring season starts . It will be a VERY long winter. At least we have amusement park web sites to keep us busy .

All the kiddies are doing well . I am off to work in the morning . The time change is making me very tired already and it is only 8 PM . My oldest DD made the NHS in her school and now we have a meeting on Wed so I will really do well at that since it is at 7:30 and I am tired at 8 PM.

My DH's grandmother is 93 and not doing well so please keep her in your prayers . She is not able to eat anymore ,they think she had two minor strokes and they will be putting a feeding tube in her on Monday . We are just hopeful she makes it through the procedure .

Got to go make lunch ,clean up from dinner and get in the dryer so we have uniforms for the week ready .
I need to ketchup but don't know when I will get the chance to look back at all the post I missed .

See ya Monday in the afternoon

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack.

I had a very eventful couple of days. Had a great time at a Halloween party, went to the last HHN night, and had to work all day today.

It was kind of saddening, actually, to see so much awesomeness already torn down.

 

[dlbbwu]

Good Monday morning, everyone! What a great weekend. Halloween was exciting, and thankfully it is over. Lots of candy left, anyone want some? Free shipping

I have finally caught up on sleep, for last week was torture for sleep. So this week, I am up and Atom (Adam) which ever it is. Must be the AMP drinks I tried...

Oh, BTW, 3 more days until Southwest comes out with flights past March 6....I can't wait...I really don't want to drive Spring Break...so I am at their mercy

Hope everyone has a great Monday..

HI Homies-
Trying to pack the kids' stuff for upcoming school camp experience soon. They leave Wed morning for camp. I haven't gotten very far with the packing, hoping tonight get more of it done. Doing laundry now, etc.
Had to help Matthew with his school project yest that was due today.

Mac- thanks for your concern, with Sarah Palin. I know politicians
make promises they don't often keep,etc. I guess we'll see who wins tomorrow night. I think it's going to be a very long night tomorrow night
Just what Sarah said touched my heart, that's all


My kids are off of school tomorrow, for election day.
Thank God DH is going to be off tomorrow from work. We have more of hte kids' Dr. appts tomorrow morning. Dh can help me last- minute pack the kids' stuff, etc. THen he can vote and I can vote and we can switch off watching hte kids while we vote, etc.



K-Fish- Forgot to say, Michael Phelps was in my area over this past Sat. I didn't go see him, sorry. But thought you might want to know he was in my neck of the woods recently

Hi to all


Ok, gotta run

you're welcome rose.
no politician's promise about a new program will happen once they are elected.
think about it, where is the money going to come from to implement any program? The country doesn't have it. The government doesn't have any funds to start up new programs.
there's not any money that can help those foreclosing on their homes now.

i went and voted during early voting period.
with what was on the ballot for our local area, had to spend 15 minutes just reading through all of those proposals.

i will be so happy when the election is over and the unwanted phone calls will stop.
we are getting about 2-3 of them a day of prerecorded messages.
i believe we have more junk political mail than regular mail this time of the year.


just give me the bills back.


turned out to be a nice day weather wise.
Indian summer for today and hopefully for tomorrow.

Please keep us posted on how she's doing.

Good Morning Donald! I believe I found something on that phrase:
Up An' Atom (B-29)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from Up An' Atom)
Jump to: navigation, search
Up An' Atom was the name of a B-29 Superfortress (B-29-36-MO 44-27304, victor number 88) configured during World War II in the Silverplate project to carry an atomic bomb.

[edit] Airplane history

Assigned to the 393rd Bomb Squadron, 509th Composite Group, it was built at the Glenn L. Martin Aircraft Plant at Omaha, Nebraska, and accepted by the Army Air Forces on April 3, 1945, and flown to Wendover Army Air Field, Utah, by its assigned crew B-10 (Capt. George W. Marquardt, Aircraft Commander). It departed Wendover for Tinian on June 11 and arrived on June 17.
It was originally assigned the victor number 8 but on August 1 was given the triangle N tail markings of the 444th Bomb Group as a security measure and had its victor changed to 88 to avoid misidentification with actual 444th BG aircraft. It was named and had its nose art painted after the Nagasaki mission. The name is a word play on the colloquial idiom "Up and at 'em", meaning "There is a lot of work to be done," and referencing the unit's atomic mission.
While at Tinian, Marquadt and crew B-10 flew Up An' Atom on eight training and practice bombing missions and pumpkin bomb missions against industrial targets in Taira and Hamamatsu, Japan. Capt. Bob Lewis's crew B-9 flew it on a pumpkin bomb mission to Tokushima subsequent to the Hiroshima mission, and Lt.Col. James Hopkins and crew C-14 used it to attack Nagoya with a pumpkin bomb.
Up An' Atom returned to the United States with the 509th CG in November 1945 to Roswell Army Airfield. From April to August 1946 it was assigned to the Operation Crossroads task force. In August 1949 it became part of the 97th Bomb Wing at Biggs Air Force Base, Texas, and was re-configured as a TB-29 trainer in April 1950 by the Oklahoma City Air Materiel Area at Tinker Air Force Base.


Not sure if this really applys or not, but useless info
