Does that greeting have anything to do with this guy?

[Silentgypsy]

Lolol!

[Silentgypsy]

If you want it to. His granny crocheted that afghan-square armor out of titanium. You think he looks tough?

[Silentgypsy]

Thank you for that beautiful morning kitteh!

[no-to-illegals]

Good morning SG

[Silentgypsy]

Howyadoin’, n2i? How are GC’s in progress?

[no-to-illegals]

Thanks for asking. GC’s progress toward (soon) looks to be on schedule. We are praying for a week or two weeks tops and praying also for health of mother and child. Prayers to be giving Thanks

I only saw one spooky kitten in my travels yesterday.

[Monkey Face]

That has started here as well. Good idea!

[Monkey Face]

I wish that were true, because if they loved me all that much they would want the best for me. Ain’t happenin’.

[Monkey Face]

Ohmygosh. I hope Tom learns something from this. (I don’t know what is to be learned but I hope he learns it, nevertheless!)

[Tax-chick]

Cute kitteh! We kept our cats in last night.

[Tax-chick]

Back from naptime. The next thing is Frank’s and Kathleen’s swimming lessons, during which I spend some time “water-walking,” which is through rather than upon. My left knee hurts today, so I expect a change in the weather.

Elen is doing “The Crucible” today, tomorrow, and Saturday, according to the schedule. Nice day today, but their forecast says it will be cold and rainy tomorrow.

[Tax-chick]

I think he probably learned something like, “Physics happens,” but he knew that. There were several things he could have done to avoid being there at all - such as giving me the money he owes me! - but there’s nothing to be done about it now.

[Monkey Face]

Looks like the money he owes you will be going towards the deductible in his “lesson.”

I’m having an online “discussion” with iherb.com about my order that was split in two and only one was actually delivered according to the “overnight” I paid for.

My BP was within normal limits yesterday, but I’m willing to bet it isn’t now. Grr-r-r-r!

This last year, I’ve had more problems with iherb.com and its delivery dates and conditions than I’ve had in the last eight years combined. It’s time I find a new company to get my supplements from, I think.

[OddLane]

Wise decision.

Prayers for Elen! This is it! At the end she will be a Marine!!!!!!!!!

If they loved me all that much they would want the best for me.

I am not able to document how this happened, but I do know that, within my lifetime, "I love you" came to mean "You do nice things for me" instead of "I will lay down my life for you."

[Monkey Face]

..."You do nice things for me" instead of "I will lay down my life for you."

Uh...yes, that. but when I said "they would want the best for me," it would mean that "I, no matter what, if I love you, would lay down my life for you."

This is how I see the few friends I have here, at Espinoza Terrace. For them, I would. As for my FRiends, there are a lot more of those that I would lay down my life for, than there are at this geographical location.

Because.

[Monkey Face]

Elen will graduate, if only because she is too proud of what she is doing to slack off. She has already taken on the persona of “The few, the proud, the Marines!” so I suspect she is going to surprise herself!

Since I had no naptime, and instead had some online tussles, my body is telling me that its time to let the silly things sort themselves out, while I go in and have a breathing treatment or two.

I tried to find out the co-pay on that test coming up next month, but the telephone CSR sounded like she was in her cups and then she hung up on me. My entire day has been of that ilk, I think.

So I’m going to make like a tree in Spring and leave.
