YES! Sometimes they close the one by my house, for whatever reason. I was very lucky and not only was it open, but no one else was in line! :-D
It only took me 5 minutes round trip.
Morning everyone!
Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. When I go to get milk, I have to milk the rent-a-cow. *wink*
True. Paul made $10 an hour doing filing one summer! He worked a full 10 weeks on the same 'temp job' Not bad for grunt work.
((((Suzi))))
No offense taken at all.
That is precisely why it is so frustrating. She isn't old by any stretch of the imagination, but she hobbles around with a heating pad as if she were 80. And she takes Xanax to "help her sleep after so much stress". *rolls eyes*
One time, I couldn't hold my tongue and told her if she was gonna do drugs, she may as well smoke a joint. It's cheaper. hehehehe.... You shoulda seen her face.
I remember when she was my age, she would tell me to wait until I was in my thirties and I would feel how the body deteriorates. Well, yes my back hurts more than it used to, but other than that, I feel stronger and tougher than I did in my twenties.
She does this for attention, but if she weren't my mother, she's exactly the type of person I avoid. Folks that complain and gripe constantly just to get attention can suck the life right out of everyone around them. And no matter what you say or do, they are never happy anyway.
So what's the point in trying?
Amazing Race was 2 hours long last night? I didn't know!
I watched it from 9 to 10.
Did I miss the first hour or the second?
I've seen the brew-threw!
Welcome back! We missed you. :-D
Those pictures are really cool.
Thanks. I kinda wish I had another day to unwind and recuperate, but I gotta go back to work today. :~(
Remember that Twilight Zone episode where the woman either turned into or had a spider that would just suck the very life out of the victims, and that's how she lived?
That's the way we used to describe Papa and Nana. They could suck the very life out of a room just by walkin' in.
Nana's not ~quite~ that bad by herself. But she still manages to cast a shadow over everything in our life these days.
Oh yuck!
I expect you'll crash very hard once you get home. Drink lots of coffee and you'll get through!
That's exactly what I mean.
Misery loves company. And some strive to keep as much company as they can.
That's what I keep telling myself when I feel like I'm gonna lash out at her.
Eventually, Alyson will start school and I can budget in after-school care if I cut corners elsewhere.
I may have to relocate because you can't even get a one-bedroom apartment here for less than $850-900/month, but then I have to look for work again. *sigh*
I have complete faith that God will lay out the path I need to take. And for now, I have to be with my mom until God throws me through the attic ceiling.
Fish. Company. Three days.
You know the drill.
Back from the DL office....I'm going to have that wind-blown look for the next 6 years.
woohoo!... glad yer back safe...
kewl pics of the cano...
Oh, no? What's he doing now? At least you can take comfort in the fact that his work looks really, really good, and it seems to last too. I never realized how bad one crown (previous dentist) looked until it failed and Dr. Z put in a properly done crown. World of difference!
we gots at least 6 drive thru likker stores here... most folks say that's so the baptists can say they've never been in a likker store...
Wow, that didn't take long! He couldn't have added too much to his 'early retirement' account!
