A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffeehouse 2357

Morning
Got woke up early this morn, Joe was taking Joseph to summer school as usual- last 3 days,, he wasn't up and Joe couldn't wait and couldn't get in house to wake him,, their garage door opener broke and I have the keys to front door,, so he called carrie and told her she would have to take him.. he called me to get up and go over to watch the boys... she had hers and Allie's ,,her doc appt is very early and just easier if boys spend night at Carries than trying to get them all up and over there early in morning, so got to Carries and she had already taken him , baby wasn't awake so she left Timothy in charge of them eating their cereal...and got back before I could get over there... so came back home and have been trying to wake up ever since..may have to take a nap... we were going to take them to the park today to play but they say we are going to having a t-storm again today,, we really have had a lot of rain.. which makes it nice for the grass but hard to keep kids amused..
Well off to get something done before I fall asleep sitting here..
Nana

That seems to be the way families go, Nana. It will be kind of a funny story when you are wide awake and a week away from it.
I went to the store for Ted's bananas. He goes through over a dozen a week. And then also shopped for a few more school classroom supplies while I was right next to a Michael's craft store. They really did not have much out yet. Oh well. I may have done enough for now anyway.

Got a cute email today, and this line sounded like something Cindy would say!!!


"I always take life with a grain of salt. Plus a slice of lemon, and a shot of

tequila."

I sorta took life like that today.....literally.....

I should try to take life like that sometime.....

I think it is going to storm tonight--sooner rather than later.......

Keep safe, Carol.
I have been lazy today. I actually took another good nap. I did shop this morning and all of my laundry is done. And of course the never-ending-watering.

thanks Tina---

I'm about ready to try to sleep. Today was a rough day. I came about 2 inches from a tractor-trailer today on the interstate because it was raining so hard I couldn't see. I don't know how I got out of that one...had to be God because I was way over in the wrong lane driving blind. I can't see too well anymore, and shouldn't be driving at all....but I have to.

Need to re-group and maybe go up North to live with Rachel.

I hope you sleep well tonight, Cindy.

Cindy, so glad that you are ok--wow that is a harrowing experience !!!---and yes God must have been with you.

Yep--moving up by Rachel is probably a good idea--& for sure a fun idea--and just think--soon Brennan will be old enough to drive his Cindy Granny around..

He might be able to drive her around now.
Take care of yourself, Cindy! I am glad you got off lightly today.

yea well there is that too.. :wink:

He could.....I taught him how to drive when he was about 8 years old...made him learn on my 5 speed Toyota truck, just like I did with Rachel (back in the day).

well then cindy--all you need to do is get that boy a permit & you have your answer !!!!!

Good morning. I have no major plans today but it is unseasonable cool. So I should take advantage and get some outdoor stuff done.

I did nothing today.....too hot.

I wish I could do nothing---

first I am grand puppy & grand kitty sitting for a week while my DD is in washing DC on a vacation of sorts--
yhyen I began to clean the computer room----then I went twice to my MIL's to work on some of h er bills & to help her try on clothes for my oldest DD's wedding which is comiong up at teh end of this month--tomorrow is lots of appointments--going to be busy all day---

Dang...that's too much stuff to do! Sometimes I whine about "having no life" but it's really pretty nice when you get to thinking about it...

YES!! it is--

and that is one of my "slow" days---I so wish someone would hire me (no one will) so my life would slow down---I am basically running 2 households...

I should be running 3 households but I am in such a funkadelic funk right now it's hard to get thru my own day. Mom and Dad need so much more help from me...and I feel so bad about not being there when they need me.

I'm going to try to sleep now....(yeah...right!)
...wish me luck...

oh my--I am so so sorry Cindy---

I will wish you good luck on going to sleep & a good nights sleep as well. Sweet dreams---

Sweet dreams, Cindy.
I did not get all done I had planned today. But I did manage a good nap. I like that. And lots of watering and fixing up a couple of sprinklers. I cleaned up a bushel of dropped lemons from my tree (myers). It gives me lemons all year long but it slows down a lot in August. Mostly just blooms and green ones then. But the smell all year long is lovely.
I hope to get more done tomorrow.

Good Morning !!

Tina--I think, when you "get nothing done", you have still accomplished much more than I ever do!!!---so dont be so hard on yourself. and besides, no matter how much one does do, there is usually something else that is left to yet be done---at least that seems to be my experience with things.

much to be accomplished today--many miles to be put on Rodney's truck.

and to begin my day, we are awoken to a gurgling sound, so I get up-- to find that I had not closed the lid to the Mr Coffee coffeemaker, & as a result, it was putting hot water back into the reservoir instead of making coffee----I think I may have broken it--and while I have another working Mr Coffee, that one is not programable like this one is.

Thank the Lord for our Keurig...

Tina, this was supposed to say---"Drop off some muffins"---
so sorry---

BTW: I dropped them off to her....

Most of the time I read right through typos. That one got me and sucked me in. So sorry, Carol.

Actually, that was Carol's best typo ever...I saved that one.

yea--Good deal, Cindy--thanks---

BUT,- I want "points"--I have been a member here for nearly 5 years & I have NO points---and that my friend is just sad,( ) it points out how boring I am I guess---

no need to apologize, Tina---I deserve every comment given to me on the subject !! Typing is NOT my strong suit-

I think I type much like you only slower and two-fingered. I just proof read my posts pretty much before I actually post. I also have spell-check that underlines things in red if it doesn't understand it.

well I wish I had spell cjeck---because you see, I read everyting I type as well--but often I read it as I meant it to be, not as I typed it------

and example is teh word because in this last sentance----I read because---it was not until I looked at it the second time that I saw the added "z" that I had put in i t--

and of course the usual:
'YOU' is spelled 'yoiu'....'the' is spelled 'teh'---just to name a few---

My spell check comes with using Mozilla Firefox as my main browser. I love it
it will not tell you if you are using the correct 'their' or 'there' or 'they're' or if I leave the 'r' off of 'your'. But it does help. And if I want to type ya'll I just may have to live with the underlining in red until it posts. But it does help.

well that sounds wonderful, Tina----

I will say I like Firefox mostly because it is better about screening out pop ups and such without bogging down the things I want on there. IE was driving me nuts. Settings too low and and pop ups galore, settings to high and it didn't want to open pages I wanted to look at.

I use Google Chrome but I am thinking it slows my computer down, so I am going to switch back to Firefox...never had any trouble with that.

Went to see my mom today....what a mess down there...

I am so sorry, Cindy.
I have Chrome installed but only use it for a few things. It plays a couple of my Pogo games better than Firefox.

Chrome has a cool feature if you listen to music all the time like I do. (Listube)
I can just type in "Moody Blues" and it will play all Moody Blues for me. But I really think it (Chrome) has slowed my computer down. I mean, it takes 5 seconds now for what I use to do in 3 seconds... (I am so spoiled!)

Geez...all these spammers are spamming the same place...for LED growlights.
...maybe I need to get in the spamming business.

I don't like spam. I am going to say good night. I never napped today. I tried. But it wouldn't happen.

I'm ready to try to sleep, too.

Nighty night.....(I know there is a "sleeping graemlin" but I can't focus on them so I can't find it and don't remember the code for it.)
Oh, well...zzzzzzzzz

Good morning!

Off to dialysis in a few minutes but wanted to stop in and say hi first.

Another beautiful day on the coast of Maine and we're so happy for it. Maxi will be home tonight. Glad about that as the house is always so empty without him although he isn't a noisy child. Strange, that.

My new Friday girl, Amy, is from the Congo and she is wonderful. I'm glad she is with us on Friday's and I hope to have her more often. Gotta call the agency about that!

I'm off now. See you later!

Good morning, I had one of those up and down nights. So I slept in. But sleeping in is OK right now. The new school year does not begin until Aug 1st.
