How is the doggy visitor?

[Darksheare]

Poor fuzzy, not enough distraction obviously.

[Tax-chick]

Very friendly. The only real problem is that she barks.

[Tax-chick]

Morning, Darks.

[Darksheare]

Morning.
Accidentally blasted myself with fix a flat.
Washed my hands, Ceirdwyn is acting stoned over the stink of fix a flat.

That stuff is combustible. It can be dangerous to whoever inherits the problem wheel.

Besides, there’s no way you can be having an inflation-related problem; the government says that inflation is under control.

[Tax-chick]

Very interesting.

I was getting the first solid night’s sleep in ages (seven hours without waking up!) when my phone rang at 0230.

Busdaddy’s mother passed away last night. Her COPD was quite restrictive the last few years, with her requiring more and more care.

I have heard nothing more, but I’m assuming he will take time off and go to the funeral, if he can. I will go over in a bit, just to see what his plans are.

For now I will just go and plan on spending the day. I can come back for clothes and laundry and to see to Sparkle.

Winter is a harsh season.

Be aware that we stand with you, ‘Face. Being strong for others is how we build our own strength.

[Monkey Face]

Thanks, Bob. It’s only here, on FR, with you and my other friends and FRiends, that I dare to let down and be myself.

The dowager earned the right to be crotchety and cranky, but before COPD, she was my friend and I loved her. I will miss her.

[Tax-chick]

I’m very sorry about Busdaddy’s loss and yours. (Fill in everything else I would say if I didn’t have to rush off to the next thing!) What is her name? I’ll put her in the book at Mass today.

[skinkinthegrass]

thanks, for the ping/post...

OH! NO! ..and not a scrap of
wrapping paper to be seen.

[Monkey Face]

Her name Was Sylvia Young. Thanks for the prayers. Busdaddy needs them.

Hope you didn’t inhale any of it.
They tyre replacement shop will charge to remove that stuff from the wheel when you replace the tyre.
Is Ceirdwyn okay?

[Darksheare]

She is fine, in her completely insane fashion.

If anybody is looking to go to the observation deck of the Empire State Building (located on 34th St. in NYC), do NOT purchase tickets from ticket vendors out in the street. Instead, get in line and purchase your tickets inside the building (or purchase them online and take them with you).

[NicknamedBob]

Tickets purchased outside the building are only good for an external ascent of it, as King Kong did.

[Gefn]

If you get them inside you can get a good deal if you buy them with the ride bundle.

Add on the ride for a few dollars more, iits a few floors below and it’s a lot of fun.

[moose07]

There is water chute ride from the top of the Empire state building?
oh,boy. Now i’m interested. :)

[moose07]

As long as conditions are at normal on her control panel, that’s good.
