I Think

That worked out so well, I have ordered the other side. The UPD dropped the first one off two doors down, on Saturday. She brought it and set it down in front of my truck, where I found it next time I went outside. Don't know why. My house number is plainly visible from the street.

Our new guy could have started this week, but he lost his SS card. Got to wait a little bit longer. My legs are wearing down, now. I coasted half of today. He better hurry or the helper will have to shoulder the whole load.

I have been eating fresh cranberries in my cereal, instead of blueberries or strawberries for a week. Haven't decided how long to keep it up. I think I forgot to put apple vinegar on my list a few days back.

Did I mention, my dog goes insane nuts over lawnmowers, dishwashers, air conditioners, blenders, hair dryers, hair clippers, our car rolling out of the driveway. Oddly, he doesn't react to the truck that way. I have had to get rough with him so that I could safely run the lawnmower. I would love to be able to peek back in time to the environment he knew with the previous owner. Another strange thing, to me - He is gentle and well behaved at the vet's. He eats it up, the way they treat him. He was frightened to death, riding in the car the first few times. Now he looks forward to it. One ritual he insists on, even on a cold day, is to play with the water hose. Only twice have I given him a dry hose to play with. He seems impervious to cold. I bet he would have been a good sled dog.

Hi Edgar, I'm waiting for the restaurant to open for breakfast, then to the airport for my flights from Lisbon to London to SFO. Should arrive home around 6pm. It was a great tour. T.

Welcome back, in advance, CI.

I finally got a new mouse and keyboard today. Everything moves more smoothly and so far all functions are working as they should.

The new guy starts at work Tuesday. I wonder if he would mind if I kiss him?

Tell him he better be Mr. Duddly Do It Right or he will have to answer to your friends on A2K. You've earned a well deserved break.

Don't kiss him Edgar, tell him to log in here and all us gals will give him a big smooch.

double-yay! Glad you can move freely on the 'Net now. The thing about playing any compter games or video games is they can take a toll on mousies.

However, (sticks and stones...err,...ah...words will never harm the keyboard at that faster rate. Like I wrote you about a bit earlier, an avg of 6 yrs., give or take...sometimes as little as 5 yr...sometimes as long as 8 or 10 yrs.

I clean my keyboard weekly...because I can get crumbs in keyboard..so I free this thing up with a shot of compressed air..and generally just tapping stuff out. Having a pet around and also having an appetite...I can wear these things if I didn't do that.

Wishing you the best with that job.....and that this new worker has some sort of work ethic

In case I hadn't wished you here or on FB, Happy holidays to you and your family..

Likewise, ragman.

My keyboard and mouse were used when I put them on this thing.

The new man is no stranger. He worked several years at another Tomball property and was well liked. The management company knows him already, because they used to manage that complex.

I have lately been just writing a few minutes at a time. Exhausted. By the end of the coming work week, I should be getting back to normal. I want to push this current work, because I already have a plot for something else.

I plan to coast as much as possible this week.

Cold these days. Not freezing. Rocky in his own way says, "I don't care. Just turn on the water and gimme the damn hose." So I sit in my plastic chair while he wrestles with it, chewing off the end. I turn the pressure low, and take it back after fifteen minutes. He is not bothered by his wet hair. He runs off to bark at squirrels and run the fence when any truck with a trailer passes by.

The new keyboard and mouse helped a lot, but the game functions are still not right. Must be either the computer or my weak connection.

Perhaps you need to be closer to the router? Is it a wired router or wireless one?

It's wired. When I leave my Hushmail, it always puts a note at the top: Please check your internet connection." It's always like that, even when I bought a brand new router.

I haven't been thinking much at all, lately. I'm part time at work, but they have been treating me like a lead man that ought to have time and knowledge for everything. The new hiree was available to start this past Tuesday, but he awaited final approval that day, and then the boss went back east for the weekend last night, so he has to wait now until Monday. The boss became a grandmother this morning.

A microwave I ordered did not make it today and they kept calling me at home over this stuff, so I went back over there. Seems the list I faxed on Tuesday was not on record as having been received. "Oh, while you are here, will you do this one work order?" "Will you go put a tarp over the stuff I have out there?"

Topping it off, a longtime resident, a really good old guy, died last night.

They gotta let that guy get to work, Monday. I have made up my mind to get back to my regular schedule, come hell or high water.

Just read an article stating that high fructose corn syrup has been renamed. A product may be labeled, "No high fructose corn syrup" and yet they still have it in that very product.

Please do explain....I'm sure many people don't know.....I'm one of them.

Sorry. Here is the link.

The last gasp of fall. Tonight we get a light freeze.
