What are us sisters for but to torment our brothers. I have 2 younger brothers, I love 'em more than life itself, but some of the things I did to them.. And you did say I am a sister 
Zanne, My mom and I spent an hour talking about my seemingly crappy taste in men. I am a mama's girl and always will be!! She thinks my husband treats me and my boys like crap but she rarely says anything. I couldn't get her anything this year but she says giving her 4 grandchildren is the best gift ever!! She should be everyone's mom!

That is nice! You've got a great mom.
Hang in there Zanne, I know how that must be.
I'm gonna take a break, get something to eat, turn on the news ...
....and strap on my Ka-bar grab my M-16 and search and barricade the house...

Hi, everyone. Been down with an accelerated version of CFIDS. I think the smoke in the air aggravated it, but I could do nothing but sleep for three days. I am so tired of smelling this smoke. The dog next door,whose barking usually annoys me, aroused pity in me because he was so hoarse. I wondered at his owners leaving him outside to breath the smoke while they sat in some air conditioned work place all day. I walked to the store today, and my skin now smells of smoke. Hope everyone is doing fine.
I just got off the phone with my dad. I haven't watched the news all week, He told me there are fires in different areas - its been raining at my house all week. Is that the smoke you are talking about?
Yes, the fires that are blowing smoke into Alachua County from Baker County, in Florida. But its pouring rain, now. YEA!!
Are you up by U of F? My brother is there. He said it was bad. I'm glad it's raining! Thank God. I think the entire Okeefenokee swamp has burned.
Yes, I am near the University.

Have a great evening, Chuck! I will be thinking about you while I put all my daughter's dolls in a box in the closet, or maybe that will make them mad!!?? Better make them all comfy beds just in case! 
Now I've given myself the heebie jeebies!!

Well, the rain only lasted about an hour or so. 
l gave the Weatherman a good talking to, but it did no good. Ah, dolls. I used to be terrified of them when I was small, too. I used to scream and throw them across the room, saying that they were "cold and hard." Later, I became fascinated with them, and for awhile, I made and sold cloth dolls. I also owned one of those "Charmin' Chatty" dolls, but she wasn't allowed on the bed. She got flung into a closet at night.

I understand about the smoke from the wildfires, all that concentrated energy of smoke and people and uncertainty can aggravate every sensor we have. The feeling of being unsafe and even frightened at the persistence of the danger, highlighted by the newness of the uncertainty and the never ending smoke. . .

hope you are hanging in there, Harz o' Space. anything that disturbs my sense of inner balance
causes me to think somehow a decision must be made or some how I can master it and compartmentalize it or overcome the feeling but nothing can stop the smell of smoke that permeates your consciousness, constantly communicating to all your sensors that this is no bad dream, this is real.
Cultivating "grace under fire" is an honorable thing, I think. Cultivating nobleness of purpose while living in adversity tends to strengthen one eventually. Smoke is a b***h to get out of the curtains, your hair, and it is useless to launder it all as long as the all pervasive haze is still happening. Being alert to the radio and keeping track of where the wild fires are, geographically from you is a good idea, so if you are to be evacuated (which means grab that cat and the picture of dear old granddad and get out) it's best to be early alerted so you can make plans. I lived through a few forest fires, out here on the Left coast of North America.

Since plastic never really gets clean, it traps bacteria and other contaminants in water, etc. The biggest offenders are the plastic that is reused like tupperware. So he says and so I later read. It doesn't really matter to me, Tom, because we aren't allowed to have plastic in our house to store anything except cleaning supplies and we certainly don't use it to eat or drink out of with his attitude. So I won't have to worry about that. We'll probably both die of cancer as a result! LOL He also has carpet phobia and I could get into that big time, but he was right about that as well. Carpet (the wall-to-wall type) is nasty so it's okay that he gave me carpet phobia. See! Match made in heaven.
The carpet stuff is bad bad news, not only do you never really get it clean, it's gives off chems. Seriously nasty stuff, I mean really bad. It's history in this house and anything that we get now is choosin carefuly or what we can't avoid is small in size. We still have a semi large area rug in the center of the living room, but I couldn't resist, always wanted an oriental style rug, middle east more correct. Hell I have enough bad stuff in me just doing work things, I mean what the hell it's a big race to see which one will get me first. What me worry? Naw, got better things to do. But when the grandkids come to play, I want them to have a little better chance.
Hate to break it to you , but the rest of storage stuff is porous too, even glass, just less so and I won't tell you what we added to make that stuff, make you want to go back to tuperware.

My little girl has the new Baby Alive. She talks, eats, drinks, burps and all that. I make sure the batteries are off at night. I used to take the batteries right out but it is too much like work. And she hasn't come on by herself! My boys had a toy ambulance with a bunch of sirens when I was a single mom. That thing would come on all by itself for no apparent reason and it scared the s**t out of me every time. It turned out that the batteries were low so it was malfunctioning.
I wish I could send you some rain! It has been raining here all day. It is so dry in the ground that the rain is soaking in fast. I thought Florida got quite a bit of rain. ?

Maybe that's why it disappeared!! !Yeah but Barbie dool parts is good. Got a potted plant? Stick a barbie detached led or arm in it. Used to carry a fake hand when doing the archaeo whore gig, bendable, life size. When one needed to use an arrow for a photo I'd use the hand with a pointing finger. Couldn't use it for offical photos, but we did get a hoot out of it, well I did anyway. yeah that hand servered me well on many occasions, but this is polite company.

So sorry to hear that!!
That smoke seeps into everything. Take it easy!Zanne, Chuck is suffering from serious Barbie issues so we mustn't hurt his feelings by talking of maimed Barbies. Although we had a few that had been the vicitims of my brothers and I as well. GI Joe didn't fare so well, either. He hung from the light in brothers room for a long time. And Ken was abuses by everyone including Barbie herself!!
No worrys I'm here, well till game patch get's downloades, I'll fix em. Nurses Aide Postie is on the job. Yeah you can call me NAP if you like.

I tore my Barbie dolls apart and used them as ammunition in fights with my brothers. We had pretend wars. I think I thought that was all they were good for when I was young. LOL They were pretty bizarre looking. I couldn't figure out what was up with their feet (back when they were bent for the high heels). I thought that was really strange.
I hate to admit this, but in the interest of science, and my decision to always lay it all on the line so that others may recognize similarities in themselves and glean important statistical information:
I used to be afraid of dolls.
So when my sister and brother decided to tear her's all up to make new mix and match toys such as horses with Barbie doll heads I was all for it (yet in many ways even more horrified......)
We need to get this fear buried Chuck, get those barbie parts buried, just leave a little part of the hand to remind you that they have beenburied. Maybe just her little perfect barbie head sticking above the suface of the soil?

Then they just started making strange growling noises: "RRRR...RRRRRRR...RRR...RRRRRR...."
I really loved those dolls. Yep indeedy.
