Off by one.
Yep. Sorta. A friend is coming in a few minutes to use the computer, so I’ll be off for about 30 minutes.
Okay. We may be gone by then, downstairs watching LOTR.
I got a Christmas card from tiamat, today, and she’s doing just fine!
Remarried, and all that!
I’m reading the last part of the book. I wanted to watch the movie, but since my big TV was stolen, movies aren’t much fun, as I lose the sound quality.
*sigh*
So just listen on head phones.
Try this:
When your new machines are delivered, talk to the guys and see if they’ll use their appliance dolly to get the old machines out of the room the very FIRST thing. Then, while they’re busy unpacking the new ones out in the driveway, and getting them prepped to be rolled in, you should have about five to seven minutes — perhaps longer — during which to paint the lower half of the wall behind them.
Interior paint dries pretty fast, so your only challenge would be getting the cut-in work done fast. After that, switch to a mid-nap roller, and fill in.
Just let the moving team know what you’re up to.
It also occurs to me that, you could possibly get up on your old machines, and go ahead with some of the roller work down behind them; minimizing what you’d need to do on delivery day.
Will. Way. You know.
Took LoM out to see The Water Horse today. Not a great movie --a regular movie-goer could probably name all the movies that contributed parts to this-- but overall well-made and certainly entertaining (much as I disliked the overdone beginning) and quite amusing at points.
The only real disappointment was the total but understandable absence of Gaelic, beyond the friction between two characters when the Gael attacks "your Sassenach attitudes" (hoo boy, they just scratched the surface on that one -- but at least the scriptwriters got that element right).
Corwin, who's twelve, hesitated a moment in thought then offered, "Because they're chicken?"
[Now doing my best Foghorn Leghorn...]
I say, that's a JOKE, son!
French.
Chicken.
Get it? HAW-HAW-HAW!
[aside] Bright kid but he doesn't listen to a word ya say.
We don’t have a big TV.
LOL!
Good night, all.
*snirt*
LOL! My first two sons are 13 and 11. I might as well take a vow of silence, for all the good it does talking to them ...
You actually have a son named Corwin? Fascinating! Or is it a username, like Anoreth and Vlad?
Hey, good to hear it! I've heard from Annyokie, Irish_Thatcherite, and "Do not remember what the incredibly long screen name was," and they're all good, too.
I usually talk to Irish on Yahoo. We talked about two hours, Sunday. He’s doing pretty good, with his new car, and all.
I exchange e-mails with I_T on and off. I need to send him some of the more recent pictures.
Just keeping up with my real-life family is an ongoing challenge ... I’m catching fallout from my mother’s blowup with my uncle (on my father’s side) back in November. Sigh. You’d think old people could get over stuff.
Yes, you would. It’s too bad that you were involved. Sometimes, when people disagree, they don’t stop to think how it will affect others in their extended families.
Being in the middle of something ugly is not fun, especially if you had no active part. I’ll keep you in my prayers.
*HUG*
Thanks. Everyone is having trouble dealing with my father’s Alzheimer’s, and they’re taking their understandable grief and frustration out on each other. I have a couple of letters to write, to the tune of “I sympathize will all parties, but I will not be involved in this dispute,” and then I’ll just pray for it to blow over, hopefully without any of them making Dad unhappy.
The “nice” thing about Alzheimer’s is that the person who has it is blissfully unaware of the turmoil the disease causes in the lives of others.
I have a friend in TX whose mother has Alzheimer’s. The mom went to Corpus Christi recently, and she calls the daughter probably 20 times a day, forgetting, of course, that she has already called.
She’s on meds for it, but this daughter is the sole caretaker, as no one else wants the “bother.” She understands how the disease affects her mother, but that doesn’t make it easier for her to deal with.
She finally talked her sister into taking the mom for a week so she could get some much-needed rest.
The best thing you can do is to send the letters. And hold your ground.
