Oh puh-leez. My wife has called me in from outside to dispatch a bug. And we don't even have them Palmetto critters...
So you were waiting for housekeeping... ;-)
My brother once put his wet suit on with a scorpion inside. I forgot where it bit him.
So are we, Corin. However long she has left, as least she'll be happy until she goes!
Ahh yes! The fabled Xerox Document Center in Leesburg...been there for a substance abuse seminar...no Corin, I didn't get sent for abusing substances...
They've got a great salad bar...but you're right...their housekeeping could use a little help...
Once I was waiting for a deer when a flock of about 75 turkeys walked out in the field. They were so thick, I thought I might have gotten several with one shot, except, of course, turkeys were not in season for a week or so.
I don't get enough hunting days, though, to waste them chasing birds. Though many would rather do that, esp. turkeys.
I was on the phone, so I didn't hear it all. But they said that they don't think this latest one is related. This was apparently a robbery.
Pretty much standard fare for DC...
The first step is admitting that you have a problem.
Ouch! I would hate to think where it might have got him!
Oh Hair, that is so funny! My sister told me her son remarked on Mama's inability to remember recent events, saying that if there are 119 other residents in the home, then Mimi will make 119 new friends every day! And that's so true!! She really is a social animal (I get it honest!), and up til now, wasn't interested in being around people because she knew that she just was 'all there'. But now she's lost that ability to realize her impairment, so she's back to the chattering stage! When my brother left her there the first day, she was already bending the ears of the staff members! She'll enjoy being around other people now.
Actually, she still remembers who we are; she's fuzzy on the grandkids because they haven't been in her memory as long. It would be neat if someone brought pets to the folks at her place. She has a little dog, a mutt named Chuckie, and my oldest brother took him home with him. Chuckie is about 13 yrs. old, so he may not be around much longer either, but he's a sweetie, and Mama always loved having doggies around.
Oh I know I gotta problem... and he lives about 70 miles South of Quantico...And I'm gettin' ready to make it "go away"...
I miss having a doxie! Sir SuziQ bought me the big 'Beanie Baby" doxie, though. His name is "Weenie", and he's the same color that my Suzie was! I had bought the big 'Beanie', "Rover" for him; it's the red dog with floppy ears and a BIG nose!
Sounds like another good Christmas idea!
That's it! I was there back in, oh, 90 or 91, I forget. Two weeks there and never saw anything beyond the center, since my company didn't spring for a rental car. I did get to fly in and out of (then) National Airport, which was neat... if I remember right I saw the Pentagon from the plane as we were coming in to land.
Before you commit to that color, Rosie, check out the California color called "Rushing River". I painted my kitchen that color earlier this year and it is GORGEOUS! It is blue with yellow undertones, so it is actually a WARM blue! In the evenings there is sort of a blue/green tinge to the walls that is lovely! Sir SuziQ didn't want a dark color, but I wanted a rich color, so this is just perfect!
Though it is a Calif. color, I got it mixed in a Pratt and Lambert paint. I just like the durability of their paints.

We have the little beanie baby version...I bought it for Mom for her birthday a few years back, before she finally wore down Dad and he let her get a real one. ;-)
They just ain't got no culture!!
Too late...it's already bought and paid for. ;-) I need the extra motivation of having the paint sitting and staring me in the face. It's nice, though, really! I'll try and get a picture if I ever finish. Kind of a periwinkle blue, but very light. It'll cheer up that room INCREDIBLY, I'm sure!
