I got the compost containment up...now I have a place to put my garden debris. Hadn't worried about it before...the chickens took care of the scraps.
~sigh~
While I was out there, five F-16s flew over...fairly low and beautiful.
Just got the first coat of paint on the walls. It's a little "rosier" than I intended, may have the paint store ratchet it down a notch when I go get the second quart. I'll wait and see what OB says, and besides, Tuesdays are "Senior Day" at the paint store and everything is 10% off for us old folks. LSA
If she knows that you are the engine behind all of this, then she ~knows~ you didn't really forget :-)
Oh I know. She actually laughed about it and then spent the afternoon telling Luke to let it go. ;-)
I think they've set up next season with the dying confession of one of the escapees as to where he had hidden the loot and he asked the lead actor to get it and split the monies with the felon's daughter. Also need to solve the question of who has set up Michael's innocent brother in the death of the vice-president's brother (who is not really dead, just in hiding). There are a couple of real bad-a** cons who always prove interesting, too.
If you watched "Homicide, Life on the Streets", you may remember, Michelle Forbes. She is in this series, too, and I believe she was the woman that got tossed over the railing on "24" in either Season 3 or 4. LSA
Didn't watch HLOTS, but I remember her as "Ensign Ro"
Even the ~dog~ remembered, and you didn't? tsk.
"Ensign Ro" in ~what~ series?
Oh get real. I did it for him.
He can't remember why he goes from one room to the next.

Good Afternoon! [sip]
FYI: Have made some good progress today. Have a spreadsheet to send. Still waiting for some callbacks.

I've gone and decided just to take the whole week off.

Sorry 'bout yer meetins'.
Gee, what are you going to do to amuse yourself?
I dunno. Maybe I'll get a visitor. :-)
Sneaking on again just 'cause I'm ticked off and want to rant. Got the latest e-bill from the my phone company. Remember I've been saying I can't get a decent signal with thenewphoneIdidn'twant? Well...turns out what signal I *do* get, they apparently count as roaming / delayed somethingorother, so the few minutes of miserable reception I've used to try to tell folks I'll call 'em back someday have cost me big.
I'd take the phone back and trade it for a different one since the old one worked OK and it's apparently just this phone, but I don't think they'd let me do that. Plus the next one up would cost an additional thirty or forty bucks, I'd guess. And I don't want a land line. I just don't.
So I'm really feeling cranky.
You may actually be able to take that one back, if you don't delay. Roaming or not, it's not even been workable and you've had it less than 30 days.
BUT, that said, if you look through the menus, you may be able to set it to "never roam". Right now, it's probably trying to find the strongest signal, even if there's a 'home' signal available that's weaker. I had one that did that. I set it to never roam and it would make do with any on network signal it could find.
Heh...you'll grow to love it!
Supposedly there's a new Verizon store on Sleater-Kinney...so I wouldn't have to go back to Tacoma if I did decide to take it back. I guess it's worth a try. Maybe they have some sales going on that would make the next one up almost a straight trade. That's if they'll take a used one back...but in general their customer service has been very good, which is one reason I'm frustrated now.
But the menu thing is worth checking, even on a new phone. I don't want to get burned again.
I called home, on our drive home, and Joseph answered the phone. The first thing out of my mouth was "Why aren't you in school?". He'd gotten sick last night, Clare woke him up about 8 this morning, but he said he didn't feel well and was going to stay home. Problem was, I didn't tell them what to do in that situation. We're supposed to call before 10 am if they're not coming in. So when I found out he'd NOT gone in, I called the school about 1pm and told my friend in the office what had happened. Whatever. They survived the weekend, and we had a good time.
Neat article in the e-mail. Do you have other pics?
