Something to read on a rainy day

Hi Robyn. Guess you & Jim got your new floors down. Glad you're back. I like to find that thread of Post Person's. I had such a good time prowling around her place when no one was there. Didn't even realize I was being naughty.

No, not boring at all.
Oh boy can we pull legs. Practical jokes are a specialty. Once when my girls were young and my husband's car was pulling into the driveway I said "okay. I'm going to go down and lie at the foot of the cellar stairs. When Daddy walks in the door tell him that Mommy fell down the cellar stairs and broke her leg. They loved to help me play jokes. They did just as I told them and my husband said, "Oh yeah," then he walked over to the stove and said "so what's for dinner?'

the machine is deadski. as in melted and unrepairable. no cool airski. hotski!
granted, i think it's the original machine that they put in when they built this place back in '72, but damn... my vacation!! !!

my whole 'tax rebate' is going towards a college loan I took out back in the misty days of my new sobriety. Back when being an alcoholic was all that was 'wrong with me.'
I am so sorry your air conditioner melted, Nan. It is prettty ironic though, for an airconditioner to melt. Don't tell me you were going to stay home for your vacation. . . or will you have to replace the air conditioner with the vacation money?

that's it, actually. we were going to try for an "out of town" vacation for once. my last "scheduled" vacation we had the damned fires. i guess i'm not supposed to get vacations?
i should be paying back on student loans, but since i'll never get 'em paid off anyway, it seemed prudent to try for at least one vacation before i retired. so yep, i am sans one air conditioner at present, which has to be remedied ASAP. the kid cannot sweat, so there's no option there.

Just so you all know, he is very adament that he was sorry. He meant it as a joke and it got out of hand.
if it 'gets out of hand' again, you will know what you are working with.

Merle, did I ever tell you that I think the girl in your avatar is cute?
Does she look at all like you?

PS Watch out for the really little shards, they fly quite a distance and they are like little glass needles if you step on 'em.
Oh, so you've hurled a few yourself I take it.
Ah yes, do they fly! I swept with broom and then wiped up with scrub rag. I'll go in again and run the vacuum. Grandkids are always barefoot in the kitchen so I've got to do a good job of cleaning up.And what did husband do to make wife so mad at him?

My Number2Son, who has a bright future ahead of him as a demolitions expert/materials tester, proved that Corelle is not invulnerable either. If the dish has been in regular use, and has a slightly abraded surface, or even a shallow chip off one edge, all it takes is a gentle nudge with the elbow off the kitchen bench, and the thing explodes spectacularly all over the floor. And too bloody right about the needle-sharp shards that result. *ouch*
I spoke to Robyn on the phone this morning. She and Jim have just had the carpets removed from a few rooms in their house, and tile flooring¹ put in. In the middle of all this, they drove to the Gold Coast from their place, a four-hour round trip, to come to visit me. (Talk about above & beyond the call of duty!) Now they are back home and trying to put everything back where it belongs. Until their modem/router is restored to its proper location, Robyn will be offline for a day or two. She asked me to say hello to all in the Café for her.
Helen (Smelena) is taking an R & R break at Robyn and Jim's. Once the computer is hooked up, there may be a bit of competition to see who gets online first.
____________________
1. Hard ceramic flooring, though it is easy to keep clean, doesn't trap dust and pollutants, etc., could never be an option in our house. Our crockery wouldn't last a week!
Then please tell Helen I said hi.

Sorry that you are hurting so much, Hartz.
I'm going to visualize you feeling vibrant and perky, without pain and feeling good from head to toe. 
Thanks! Hope it helps.
Been strolling down memory lane listening to music from the 70's on YouTube. I would share it, but can't seem to make imbedding a video work. 
And what would your favorite song be?
