WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt3

[pahrumpgirl]

Monica, Deb, V and Carol are MIA too. And PJ - what has happened to her. We miss you all. I know Angie will be busy packing - anyone remember when they were supposed to be moving?

I'm here. I have been trying to get the house cleaned for company next week and the temps have been in the 90's. That wouldn't be so bad except that we don't have air and by 4 PM you don't want to do anything but sit under the ceiling fan. I had a few pages to get caught up on but have done so.

Cheri, so glad that you came through the accident okay. Did you get yourself checked out like we told Jackie to do? If not, do so.

I have had Hondas and Toyotas both and loved them. Before I was married I kept a car for 10 years or more and both lasted without any major problems.

I have a friend coming out from Columbus to scrapbook tomorrow and then I will be spending the rest of the weekend and next week getting the rest of the house cleaned. I let it go bad during my depression and there is no greater motivator to clean than someone coming that has never seen your house. Even if they aren't coming to see it. First impressions, you know.

Gotta run and try and get some more work done before it gets too hot again. Another day in the 90's. Will check in later.

Carol

Jackie...

I'm gonna tell you one thing the guys at one of my jobs tells me or did tell me when I bought my car...

GET A HONDA... CHANGE THE OIL... YOU CAN'T KILL THE THING!!!

They were right.

It may be a little more than you want to spend, but I'd look at it.

Same goes for Toyota (or so I'm told). That's what I have. A cute little Toyota Echo.

Hello everyone.Been lurking. Hope everyone is getting better. I just wanted to give a suggestion that might help someone that drives while tired. Years ago when I was working the graveyard shift and commuting 40 miles to work, I had many close calls while driving home at 7:30 AM. I am surprise that I didn't have an accident in the years that I worked that shift. One day I was talking to a long haul truck driver who suggested that I try eating sunflower seeds while I drive. The little concentration it takes to crack the shells keeps you from going into a daze. It work for me and I always stop to get a bag when I am driving long distances. I was munching on them on the long drive home after our cruise.

George

Hi George, Good to hear from you - say hi to Linda.

 

[edna mode]

Cheri, So glad to hear you are alright. You couldn't have been in a worse place! Good thing you got help. Very scary!!! How are you feeling today?

 

[edna mode]

Good morning all,
Massive amounts of gardening going on here. Still cleaning, decluttering, and back to work. I'm listening to as many books as I can while doing projects.

 

[edna mode]

Ian, I forgot to answer your question about getting a car here. How are you getting to the courthouse? Other than that I can't think of a reason to rent a car. And on that day I wouldn't suggest that you drive yourself since you'll be nervous. I'd offer to drive you, but Z starts kindergarten that morning, so I don't know what time we'll get there and you'll want to be early.

I'm MIA for 2 days and you go onto part 3!!

Need to go catch up on the end of part 2 - will be back later

 

[HollyTyler]

Good morning/afternoon everybody!

Here I sit, bored at work again. I sure love my job!

 

[HollyTyler]

I had something really yummy last night! I've been craving ice cream for a few days, so on my way home yesterday I stopped at Dairy Queen and got a cotton candy blizzard! It was awesome!

 

[mishoe01]

Cheri! How are you doing?

Angels have been busy this week - glad they were looking out for you & Dylan, and for Jackie.

 

[mishoe01]

It's wonderful! today was a real test because we have high humidity and high pressure, and that usually triggers a migraine for me. A co-worker is the same, and we quite often have them the same day. When I woke up this morning, I could feel pressure in my head, and still do, but the pounding never started! So I asked her, and sure enough, her migraine started overnight and she's miserable. Of course I shared info on my med with her, so maybe she can check into it because it's still working!

But I do realize meds work differently in different people, so it might not work for her. Our office manager's daughter tried this med and she started having psychotic hallucinations and extreme anxiety, so had to stop taking it after a week. Yikes! I'm glad I didn't get that side effect!

Holly - so glad the meds are working for you

 

[mishoe01]

OMG Cherie - how are you today???? I am SO thankful Arizona Angels was looking over you!!!!

Hi Peg! Good to see you....how are you?

 

[HollyTyler]

Holly - so glad the meds are working for you

Me too! I thought I'd get a migraine today, it sort of felt like one was coming when I woke up this morning, but NOPE. My last one was last Friday! I never go this long without, so I'm thrilled!

 

[HollyTyler]

Oh goodie! I hear some work coming my way! I can hear one of the lawyers dictating something, so it will soon be on my desk.

Jackie - go check your email, I sent you reports from Consumer Reports.

Jackie,

I had a Hyundia Santa Fe, ( both Hyundia and Kia are made by Hyundia). The only problem I had with it was the cheap original equipment break pads that were used. They only lasted 30,000 miles. Once I put a good set of break pads on it they lasted to 100,000+ miles. Maintenance seems high on their vehicals and gas milage is not the best but they seem to be an OK car for the price. Keep in mind you get what you pay for. Nissan and Toyata make a better car but then you pay more $$ up front.

Yep a new or used RAV4 will be my first choice! I LOVE my Toyotas. Honda will be the next place I'll check. I was just thinking I might not have the $$ available....but it's all a moot point till I find out if they total my car and how munch money they will give me (and what's left after I pay what I owe on this one)! When I bought this one it was a decision between the Rav4 and a Nissan Xterra. I chose the Rav4 for better cockpit design (it fit my body better)!

Okay, didn't do the jeep tour in Aruba, too scary for me! I did do the snorkeling, then the zip-line and rappelling in PV...I had to ask my SIL to come over today to change the BBQ propane tank for me...way to scary for me to do myself

Kathe

I also have a fear of propane!

Why??? Is Cherie on the other side???

I think I'm in the middle......



Should be a quiet day at work today...two of the three bosses are out and it was DEAD by 3PM yesterday. I wonder if all the assistants should just go to an afternoon movie today.....Momma Mia opens I believe.

Such a shame we can't all have another go at the cruise.

Yes! I know I could do a little bit better job of it if I could redo!

Now THAT'S a great idea!

 

[HollyTyler]

Done with those 2 letters. I need MORE!

 

[mishoe01]

1st week w/ the 4-10hr workdays is coming to a close - not too bad, but am exhausted. So glad tomorrow is Saturday.

Been trying to battle my demons this week - not doing all that wonderfully - need to talk to the Dr about a few things.

Lisa & family got to Argentina ok on Tuesday - heard that Ian slept a lot & listened to music and that Sydney did well - even flirted w/ the people sitting behind her on the plane. Everyone happy to be together when I spoke to my parents & Ian on Tuesday (the other 3 were napping). Will probably call them tomorrow.

Jan - glad you enjoyed the Java Chip Frap - may have one after Church on Sunday (Starbucks is just down the street).

John - so glad to see you! Glad Manuel is still heading strong in his road to recovery.

Connie - please make sure you have enough room in your luggage for all of us!

 

[mishoe01]

Plan to see Mamma Mia tomorrow - I could make a show tonight, but not sure if I'd stay awake through it.

May see The Dark Knight this weekend too....or maybe hold off til Wednesday (my day off for the week).
