Thanks TOL. Once upon a time movies are my favorites.
that is the last time I wish you more rain. I’m sorry.
I’m glad to know both byos are back and that they will have CLEAN CLOTHES! LOL!
I may feel better after I take my first battery of pills, but there is no promise, there. I realized yesterday that I ordered two bottles less of one of the meds than I should have, so I will go the rest of the month without it.
No brains. Payday always seems to make me hyper. I’m so afraid of missing a payment or a bill or ordering a pill that I usually miss a payment, a bill or a pill. Go figger....
LOL! It’s monsoon season, so whether you or anyone else wishes us more or less rain doesn’t really matter. It will come. And usually in a violent manner. We even had hail last night, which is quite common with these storms.
And we need it. Every fraction of an inch eventually finds it’s way into Lake Mead, so that’s good.

you are too kind. I was worried you might wish upon Paw, our neighbors, and me more rain ... little secret ... the terrorist almost drown before the bear could get to him, last night. Paw and I were almost disappointed. May the ground dry out in this neck of the woods. The rain is ruining Paw’s and my fun. Please, if you need the rain, please keep it; just prayers up it will not prove to be violent. Maw and I gotta plow up the lower valley next week if things dry out.
James said it rained only once during his camp, but almost all his things were, nonetheless, wet.
I’m SO SO SO GLAD ... I didn’t volunteer to do his laundry.
Joe, honest I didn’t volunteer to do James’s laundry. I only do laundry and windows under duress. My better half puts me under duress all the time.
Yepper. That’s Lake Mead, alright. Big ol’ bathtub ring around the entire thing, the lake is so low. California, Oregon and Arizona are helping themselves to it, so it really doesn’t stand much of a chance of filling up again like it should, any time soon.
besides if I did all of the laundry ... I would ruin my better half’s fun during the spin cycle.
I make lists.
Too thick to drink, too wet to plow...
LOL ...
I have lists. I have budget lists, grocery lists, and lists that tell me where the other lists are. But because of CFIDS and its peculiarity of messing with the mind, I can read the lists and still miss what I’m trying to find.
It’s why I no longer have a checking account. I could go over it a dozen times and still not find any mistakes, and I could “reconcile” it with the bank statement with the same results: I couldn’t find the errors that cost me so much money in NSF fees.
If I have a month where I manage to make everything work like it should, I still worry that I’ve missed something important. And I don’t have anyone to go over the lists and make sure everything is where it should be, so I just have to pay the consequences.
(I wouldn’t even wish this on Zero...well, maybe I would....)
Okay, I've figgered.
What I figgered out is, you need shorter months.
So here's my idea: We'll use thirteen months of twenty-eight days each, just like February. That will total to 364 days, one short of the needed number. We'll make up that final day by declaring a Holiday at the end of the year. One whole day additional to celebrate the New Year!
And then, every four years, we'll just add one more day of celebration for New Years, to accommodate Leap Day.
This configuration could allow us to start every year on the same day of the week, and every month as well. We simply designate those extra days at the end as "non-calendar" days, and skip to the next year on the list.
All the calendars, and all the months, will be identical. No more having to flip pages to determine when the next weekend will be available.
An ominous potential, if we should choose to start this procedure on a Sunday, is that we would face a perpetual series of Friday the Thirteenth. Therefore I suggest we start out on a Monday.
Monday 12018 will be the next year in which the Monday start occurs naturally. If you want to start earlier, that's a mere additional inconvenience. You may find that there wil be some moderate objection to this very sensible suggestion, but progress is never easy.

Okay, that works.
Convincing the rest of the world is left as an exercise for the student. I'm ready to begin any time you say.
My pleasure, my friends. I’m glad you like them. I do as well.
KEWL! Let’s do it!!
