I dislike baking cupcakes. I dislike baking, preparing meals and doing dishes. All these jobs require standing and I’m not very good at that.
As for alternate story endings, well, let’s just say Bob has a knack for input.
It’s warm again today, and for some reason (CFIDS, I’m sure) my vision is acting up, so I may not get anything done at all. Unless the task at hand has REALLY BIG TYPE!
I’m transcribing my late husband’s personal history (he wasn’t famous enough to write an autobiography) and it is always amazing to me how much detail he could recall about so many things...names, dates, times, places...detailed events all seemed to have been stored and recalled intact.
I’m using that voice-activated software, and once I get it personalized, I think I will really enjoy it. Right now, we have to get used to each other. The software might have the easier job.
;oþ
Not sure about German hygiene, but you have to admit that they make terrific pastries. It’s best to avoid the translations because, although some of the pastry names are innocuous (almond boats), others make you wish you didn’t learn the translation (namely, lovely pastries filled with whipped cream—don’t recall the German, but the translation is “wind bags.”).
Hang tough, CO. We are with you in spirit, and know you will do all the right things at the right times.
XOXO
I’m VERY sure about German hygiene! Almost two years there. It was beautiful, and I would love to go back, but...I think their toilet paper must really be a secret weapon.
Prayers continuing.
YIKES! Prayers up!
I’ve read all Sharyn McCrumb’s “ballad” novels. She’s from around here. I think “Ghost Riders” is my favorite.
Best wishes! I hope you come back to find everything like you left it!
Afternoon! It’s raining on the Democrat Convention again, snicker.
Thanks for the best wishes. I am in the next town over. The lady who owns this motel is giving rooms away free for our towns fire. It also has free internet.
I see the winds are going to be 15mph in my town today. I saw the fire people drive in town as I was living those huge bulldozers. They were setting up sprinklers and should be at my place by the end of the day I hope.
If you had the Democrat convention where you live, it would pour rain, sleet, snow, hail, and showers of enraged basement cats.
Between that and the Empty Chair going viral, the Dimocraps may eventually get the message...we are done with their BS. I hope the rain doesn’t let up where they are...and I hope the folks who are bussed in have enough sense to realize they are being used. Shamefully.
LOL!
They’ve moved the Obama speech from a stadium with almost 80,000 seats to an arena with 20,000, “because of the weather.” Didn’t Mitt Romney just speak in the Republican convention hall, like the other speakers in Tampa? I haven’t seen his speech, although I saw some of Clint Eastwood’s and some of Paul Ryan’s (that cutie-pie) on the archived video.
The Dems are lousing up things so much that text messages are running about 40 minutes behind sending. Joe Biden arrived today, screwing up flights and traffic, and Zero is supposed to come tomorrow. By tomorrow afternoon, we’ll know if we can have the Hobbit Club on Thursday, or if the interstate will be a parking lot.
It is to LAUGH!It kinda sounds like an episode if the Keystone Kops, or maybe something from Charlie Chaplin.
At any rate, I bet most of it either doesn’t make the news, or it is “excused” with the first available alibi.
What a hoot!
I’m still waiting for the mailman to see if he brought me anything that will take the pressure off, but after four trips down the walk, he is still MIA. The day after a holiday, with no “regular” mailman, I should not have expected miracles.
ARGH!
It was supposed to be our new trash day, but they didn’t pick up. We will leave our cans out each day until ...
More storms expected. Democrat delegates and journalists in Charlotte are complaining about bedbugs. *snicker*
LOL! "What goes around comes around," eh?
I think all the most effective insecticides have been banned by environmentalist.
Funny you should mention that. I thought my appending an Epilog One: The Girl of His Dreams, and Epilog Two: The Dreams of His Girl, to the end of "Reaction!" was rather innovative.
"Also don’t recommend night work."
My "Night Work" was a special case; people slept through it.
Really! That was the whole idea; people don't get enough exercise, with all their desk jobs during the day, and don't have time for exercise. So the "Night Work" people turn your brain off to let you sleep, and use your body to re-organize factories. An army of zombies, shuffling boxes around.
Complications will undoubtedly ensue.
I have, by the way, come up with a plot twist for "Sweet Tooth". It's not a story-ender, but it sounds like my style.
Well of course they have. They won’t be happy until the roaches are big enough for the bedbugs to ride on. I can see it all now....
