Jenny 315 Report post Posted October 31, 2010 No, nothing much. Just a regular work and school week, with too long of a delay before the next Wings game. The person below me knows how to knit and/or crochet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted October 31, 2010 Slightly, but nothing my pink faux mink throw can't handle. The person below me has a hyphenated last name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted October 31, 2010 n-o I always said I would hyphenate my last name, if I married, since I am the last of my family's line. The person below me wonders how women in this country ever painted their own toenails before the nice Oriental ladies showed up to do it for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
55fan 5,133 Report post Posted November 1, 2010 I had no idea that nice Oriental ladies painted toenails. I guess I've heard of pedicures, but it's kind of like the Yeti. I've heard of it and it probably exists, but I have no personal anecdotes to prove it. I pity the person who has to look at my feet. The person below me wishes they were younger.

puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted November 1, 2010 unfortunately, yes. I brought it all to work. I got four kids, cute little ones... and then nothing until 9:15PM. Getting ready to shut off the light, and there were four young men -- way too old to be out begging... but I loaded them up with a ton of stuff. "Awesome!" - they proclaimed. The person below me is hoping for rain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
55fan 5,133 Report post Posted November 1, 2010 NO!!!!! No rain! The river is already nearly at flood stage and if it doesn't go down before it freezes, we'll have another flood in the spring. Plus the farmers are already behind in the fields due to mucky conditions from the rain we've had. Keep the rain in Texas or somewhere, but don't send it here. We're cold and wet, and that's a bad thing. The person below me dreads making phone calls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're cold and wet, and that's a bad thing. The person below me dreads making phone calls. Someone is sending you false reports about rain in Texas. It last rained here over Labor Day weekend. That's two months, if you're counting. Send us all you've got. Please. I am sick of dust and 90 degree heat, it's f*cking NOVEMBER! Hello??? I guess we're never happy, are we? I dread phones all day long, and that's all I do... talk on the damned phone. I hate Mondays worst of all, next to Fridays. Both bad. My phone at home is unplugged, so I may as well go ahead and disconnect it, I guess. The person below me isn't buying (or accepting) Christmas presents this year.

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted November 1, 2010 I will be buying and receiving presents. They may not be expensive, but it's the thought that counts. BTW, Loo, the comment about "keep the rain in Texas" meant that you can have it. We have plenty. You can keep all you want. Take it, please. The person below me will be going to the doctor soon.

puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted November 1, 2010 I know of your situation with the flooding, and I wish ardently that we could take your rain. Be careful and keep the sandbags handy - and we will hope Mother Nature takes a chill pill for you. In the meanwhile, I do wish there was a way to redistribute the wealth. We are going to be lucky to have enough water to drink here if this keeps up... My Christmas presents to others will be meals out (exchanged with friends), as I would rather have their company than a trinket. Other similarly disposable or intangible items are on my list: donations in people's names, a reasonable bottle of spirits. If folks don't want to reciprocate in kind, I am OK with that. I have enough stuff. I am going to the eye doctor this week, yes. Outta contact prescription, must have a new one! Can you read this line? Pronger sucks. The person below me is eating left-over candy right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WizardOfOz30 1,886 Report post Posted November 2, 2010 I did my work today, had to make sure it was done since I won't be there tomorrow. The person below me is not happy that Osgood got hurt, I sure am disappointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
