People with trucks who are friends with people without trucks expect an occasional need for a favor... Don't worry about it. When would you want to go get it? Is time critical to get it out of there or can you wait for a day you know it's going to be dry?
I'd like to make a dump run too, so it would be convenient to pick up the stuff on our way back.
I think they have to be out by Sunday. I might be able to stick it somewhere for a portion of the weekend, but we don't really have a lot of storage space...
It's supposed to rain for the foreseeable future, isn't it? :-\
If you can get it any time Friday or over the weekend, there's always gaps.
Paper yesterday said this is officially the rainiest November on record - beats the record set in 1962. Oh joy. Figgers that'd happen my first winter here...
But I swear, it isn't my fault.
How can you be so sure it's not you... You're the only variable that's changed :~)
It's always stormy on Thanksgiving. The top news story is ~always~ about all the people who's power went out when the turkey was only about half done. I think it's a canned story, they just run it every year so all the field reporters can have the day off :~)
who's = whose
I got nowhere else to go! I got nowhere else to g... I got nothin' else.
heh... itsuh good thing God gave yuh a sense of humor...
Transcript from one of my favorite episodes of Satursday Night Live. (If anyone knows where to get the video, I'd love to know. Thanks.)
Jane Curtin: This past Thursday was the Great American Smoke Out, a day that everyone in America was encouraged to stop smoking cigarettes for a twenty-four hour period. Here to comment further is Update health correspondent, Roseanne Roseannadanna.
[Applause as we pan over to Roseanne Roseannadanna, a loud Latino woman who chews gum and has a lot of frizzy hair.]
Roseanne Roseannadanna: Thanks a lot, Jane! Thanks a lot! A Mr. Richard Feder from Fort Lee, New Jersey writes in and says: "Dear Roseanne Roseannadanna, Last Thursday, I quit smokin'. Now, I'm depressed, I gained weight, my face broke out, I'm nauseous, I'm constipated, my feet swelled, my gums are bleedin', my sinuses are clogged, I got heartburn, I'm cranky and I have gas. ... What should I do?" ... Mr. Feder, you sound like a real attractive guy! ... You belong in New Jersey! ... [applause]
But I know exactly what you're goin' through 'cause once, I, Roseanne Roseannadanna, quit smokin'. And to get back in shape, I had to join one of those fancy-shmancy health clubs. You know, the ones where it's real expensive to join but it's worth it, 'cause you get to see a lot o' people that you don't know naked! ... Like, some people got those bulgy-bulgy thighs, the ones that get chafed just 'cause they're always scrapin' against each other. ... And there's other people there that got these funny belly buttons. Like, some go in and some go out or it's like a hole or it curls around or it's like a little knob on it, like a door. ... Some of them got a little piece of their sweater still in it! ... Some of 'em look like a little star or a shell or a clam. Or some, you don't what they are! ... But, personally, I, Roseanne Roseannadanna, don't like to walk around with no clothes in front of other people! Not that I don't got a great body. ... But why should I waste it on a bunch of fat ladies in a health club?
Anyway, they got this sauna there which is a little hot room where you go to sweat like a pig. ... So, I go in there but before I sit down, I put this clean towel on the bench 'cause there's a lot of people in there and you don't know where they been! ... So, listen to this. Who do you think is sitting next to me but Dr. Joyce Brothers! ... That very smart pixie lady who thinks she knows everything. But what this nude psychologist doesn't know is that she had this little teeny tiny ball o' sweat right here, hangin' off the tip of her nose! ... It was just hangin' there! It wouldn't fall off! ... Like, if she turned her head, it didn't fall off, if she stood up, it didn't fall off, she scratched, it didn't fall off, and when she picked a little piece of sweater out of her belly button, it didn't fall off! ... That little sweat ball just wouldn't fall off! ... So I yelled at her. I said, "Hey! Doctor! Flick that sweat ball off your nose! ... What are ya tryin' to do? Make me sick?!" She--
Jane Curtin: Roseanne!
Roseanne Roseannadanna: What? What?
Jane Curtin: [coolly] What do health clubs, sweat and saunas have to do with cigarettes?
Roseanne Roseannadanna: Well, Jane. It just goes to show ya! It's always somethin'! If it's not one thing, it's another! Either you smoke or you have a sweat ball hangin' off your nose! ... It's just like the song we used to sing on Thanksgiving when I was a little girl. Everybody would come over to my house lookin' all pretty and cute and everything. My mother would make a turkey with stuffing and for dessert we'd have the traditional Banana Roseannadanna cake. ... Before we ate, we'd bow our heads. [to Jane, who merely stares at her in disgust] Bow your head, Jane. Come on, bow your little head. Come on. Jane, bow your head. Bow your head now. ... [Jane reluctantly bows her head] We'd bow our heads and we'd all sing.
[singing]
We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing
Please look down upon the Roseannadanna household
Bring peace to our fathers, good health to our mothers
And please don't make me sweat like Dr. Joyce Brothers! ...
[Jane's head pops up, wide-eyed with disgust]
Roseanne Roseannadanna: [cheerily] Amen!
Jane Curtin: That's the news. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.
I've been lookin' for that pic and quote. I'm kinda workin' on a "why am I still in the GOP" story...
God bless y'all this Thanksgiving...
He's been suh gracious tuh me... Blessed me with a Savior, a loving family, beautiful homestead, great country, and kind-hearted friends...
Thank you Lord... and thank you, muh friends...
we're outta here fer mrsnad's folks' place... be back tuhmorrow nite...
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
I'm thankful that in all the world wide web there's this little group of like-minded nuts that I can call friends. You're good people. Thank you for being you! And thank you for being here.
Good morning g'nad and LF, and Happy Thanksgiving everyone :~)
Good morning and happy Thanksgiving, all!
We're getting our act together for hitting the road shortly. Aim to be in Chicago by 2-ish.
Careful in town! Have a good time :~)
We will ;-)
Hard to believe TurkeyMoot was only a year ago.
Time flies when you're having fun :~)
