And don't just pile it around the yard either :~D
Well, they're not too bad since I did the flylady thing. I think we'll get a POD and store stuff in it eventually.
Good Lord, Hair! That looks terrible! At least you don't own your property...the value would plummet!
My neighbor, the one I love so much that is so sweet...is a slob. She had an entire wooden captains bunk bedframe in her front yard for months. It rained on it, it had snakes living in it. She also had a car just parked in her front yard that never moved.
I would just groan, because I really love her, but no way anyone would look at my house and not see that situation over there.
Her in-laws came weekend before last and apparently they cleaned it all up.
Well, with the store there too, I'm not sure it's value as a residence could suffer any more, but maybe! Anyone that was smart who owned this place would have put the house back in the woods by the witch's circle.
Later! Have a good one.
YIKES!!
Good grief. Time to set up the trailertrashneighbors webcam, I think.
It was the painting, de-cluttering, cleaning phase that took a long time for me.
Heh, we have four of the sections of the old sectional sofa from our basement sitting in our back yard. They go out with the trash on Thursday. I'm sure our neighbors are THRILLED seeing them, along with the boards, etc. from the beginnings of our remodeling project. ;o)
You seriesly stuned the thread, Suzi!
You didn't do such a bad job yourself.
Whoa! Seriesly stuned!
Matthew's friend just went home...they played on the Xbox and they swam and had a good time all round. His mom stayed here and visited with me. She's going to the reorganization meeting tonight too, but is considering joining both support groups.
It was a good visit...reminded me that it's not the end of the world.
Heh!
I'm off again however...got to get spiffed up for the meeting tonight and figure out some sort of supper.
Thanks! *buffs nails*
We'll probably have chicken.
No prob. :)
Most likely the nausea is due to the 60z refresh rate on the screen the tv. Watching TV with full motion video the refresh rate is not usually a problem even for someone hypersensitive to such things (I am). With a video game the brighter colors and more common still graphics you are more likely to have a problem. It can happen that over time you get more sensitive. I use to work on Hughes on an old B&W Sun terminal with Interleaf. After about 2 months I could not even glance at one of those monitors without getting headache. Jedi Knight II also did that to me. I played it for a while with no problem and then I was not able to play at all without getting ill. Certain kinds of motion on the screen can do it to me. Lots of indoor 1st person view point with short jerky motion can really mess me up. I have to limit the amount of time I play 'first person shooter' type games if there is a lot of close quarters. With a video game system about the only help is to use and LCD screen (refresh rate is not visually detectable) or try some other game and hope it is better. Also sitting farther back helps a lot since proportionally your brain is getting less data that it does not like. Motion and visual related nausea are funny things. Usually the first thing that I notice is my eyes try to close like I am sleepy. That is a subconscious reaction to visual stimuli your brain does not like and a good clue that worse is coming soon. I am sensitive to such things so I have spent some time paying attention to my reactions. Hope it is of use. I find that once you reach that 'snap' point it is hard to deal with that particular stimuli again. It is probably a preemptive defense the brain puts in the subconscious.
