New verse:

Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |
If that's the cable version, we don't have cable. A few at the office watch it.
So, I've got Prison Break on 'cause I don't want to goober up the timing.
Did that guy just do what I think he did?
Yes, he sure did!! He was one of the bad-a** cons I was telling you about; he's really going to be mad now! LSA
Isn't the ax-wielding guy the one who does the 'un-pimp the auto' VW commercials that debuted during the Super Bowl?
So, Gidget starts barking today, and I look out, and there's a car pulled up to the gate, and a woman, the driver, has gotten out of the car and is taking pictures of the horses. There was someone else in the car I couldn't see well.
I walked out, and said "can I ~help~ you?" She said "I volunteer at 'such-and-such' nursing home, and every week, I come and take this lady for a drive. She noticed your horses were so pretty and wanted to take a look at them. Since she has Alzheimer's and will forget by tomorrow where we went today, I take pictures and print them out for her so she'll remember."
Very sweet, really!
I offered that I'd bring a horse up if she wanted to see closer, but she said she really didn't walk very well and could they just sit there in the car and watch them awhile... I said sure :~D
And, yes, you need a smoked ham hock. You can buy it in the meat departments down here ... shrink-wrapped on a white Stryofoam tray.
Now, if you're fat-conscious, you can use a smoked turkey wing ... but there's something missing in the taste. It tastes good ... but not the same.
That's really sweet of her. She could bring the woman by each week to see them and it would be a new trip each time! ;o) The pictures will be nice, though. My sister did that for Mama all the time. They were her only 'memories'.
It's at Disney-MGM, Florida, near the Star Wars ride. They also have about a half-scale AT-AT (4-legged Imperial Walker from the Hoth battle) that seems to have left a footprint or two in the asphalt.
10 years ago they had the "boat" with the walking plank from RotJ in the same area, but no more; I don't recall them having the speeder bike at that time. The bike is better because you can get on it :)
Cool!
I remember visiting the Alzheimer's home with Zulu... They never remembered me coming before, so it was always new.. and that makes it easier for a visiting dog that didn't know very many tricks :~D
And equipped with proper uniform
They told me I couldn't renew a contract until the first one ended. I have no idea why it's different for me, but apparently it is.
Bad news: the folks at the Verizon store told me I had to go to a Circuit City.
Bad news: the folks at Circuit City told me to go to the mall, where there's a full tech support department.
Bad news: the guy at the store said this phone shouldn't be much different than the other.
Good news: they're told me they'd exchange it anyhow.
Other good news: they credited me the odd thirty dollar charge I was ticked off about.
Bad news: I brought the box and all the stuff that came with the phone...except the charger.
Other bad news: I got miserably lost on the way home, and now I'm afraid if I don't get back tonight, I won't be dealing with the same folks and they won't let me do what I wanted to do, which is swap it for a different phone, which the tech guy recommended as getting better reception in areas without much digital coverage.
Well, howbouthat. We're down to two (2) hours. WOW.
I want to get this over with...just wish I was confident I could straight there and straight back. But I guess I'm gonna go.
Can you hold one for me? I'll be back as fast as I can. I realize I'm running out of *time*...
~paces back and forth waiting for '24'~
THERE ISN'T ENOUGH TIME! :~D
sure...
I just got done watching the LOTR trilogy (again) and have a question.
What did Frodo do with Bag End (spelling?) And... when Gandalf heads out for Gondor he tells Aragorn to come by a different route, the Black Ships. What did he mean?
Thanks in advance for answering.
There be spoilers ahead...
Go Martha! Go Martha! Go Martha!
And I think they were just teasin' us in the previews. I don't think Jack has a gun to Logan's head...or maybe he does.
So, there's that. ;-)
