That does sound wonderful. Lets see.....my next ten days...

pull drywall off and clean up mess

work, call backs for Fiddler

work,

work, semi-mandatory BBQ at bosses house

4 straight days of physical labor!!

more work, work, work.

Em, got an extra seat in that car?

[psawyer]

The drive northward is right through the Rocky Mountains, and is apparently one of the most incredibly beautiful trips on earth.

It certainly is magnificent. We last drove it in 1994, on the way home from Alaska. Enjoy!

And, in Banff especially, expect to see hordes of tourists from Japan, traveling on tour buses.

[Mtndog]

Oh Em...you are gonna die!!!!!!!!! The water is mint green and the mountains so beautiful. Jasper is stunning. There's a tea house at Banff that you hike around lake Louise up to and have tea!

Unfortunately I was there with 50 high school students but we counselors pretended they weren't there and had a great time anyway! It is stunning. Watch out fer marmot holes!!!!!!!

I hope Suze is having phun and that everyone has a good holiday weekend (well- if it's a holiday). I'm still struggling but don't care and I'm going to Isle La Motte, VT (sounds so exotic but it's in lake Champlain, not the tropics or South if France) for that party my fam-damly went to last 4th of July. Weather is supposed to be uggy but......we have a costume party too.

Help- what do I go as? It's the 40th anniversary of the party and the 400th anniversary of Champlain discovering the island. Hmm.....can go as anything from 1969-2009 or something French. Hmm....summer of 1969? Any ideas?

Ow.

I's mizzuble.

I has leftover Dh rash from my last glutening.

But more importantly, I had a root canal today.

On Saturday, the tooth I had filled in January went nutzoid, apparently it was completely dead and infected, and reached ciritical mass. I haven't eaten solid food in days.

It took so much juice to numb it I can't feel my eyes.

On an even more positive note, it cost me over 300 DOLLARS!!!!!!

I asked what would happen if I didn't have the money with me?

"Oh, we'd just have to reschedule."

Oh, how special that I'm NEVER COMING BACK HERE AGAIN!!!!

Got my money's worth in Novocaine I guess.....

[elye]

Owwwwwwww, Buh-kneee! An infected molar and subsequent root canal... ....... .been there, and it is horrible. But only 300 bucks?? It's about 800 'round here, and another 800 for the eventual necessary crown.

Fer somefin' that ya never even SEE!

Em, got an extra seat in that car?

HEY! Jyessss, I was lookin' at a map yesterday to see just how far I will be from you. Hmmm. . ......jus' too damn far for a pop-in, a whirlwind drywall installation, tape and putty job, sanding... . . . . Will is very adept at this kind of thing, and we could just provide him with Redbridges whilst we sit with the civckebs and sing Sunrise, Sunset. But hell, next time I venture to Vancouver, I'm within shouting distance - - expect me.

And, in Banff especially, expect to see hordes of tourists from Japan, traveling on tour buses.

I forgot that you had done this excursion, POeter!

OMG..... . .those stereotypical Japanese tourists.... . .I'm really gonna see them en masse, am I?

Bevel! You MUST go to your costume party as Samuel de Champlain.

Oh, that's just the lowest possible minimum I could owe. I may owe several hundred dollars more, depending on how badly my insurance shafts me.

Weird works. Especially if they have some ideas.

Much tired. Had a margarita and three jalapenos. They were so impressed that I ate all three that they didn't charge for them. I guess most people have a limit of one.

[mimommy]

WHERE IS MIMMS????????????????????

I have returned!!!!!

And I have this to say...

1. electricity is good

2. elitism is bad

3. the sky here is awesome

4. gluten free baked goods are making me fat

5. if my husband sings Michael Jackson's "Human Nature" one...more...time I may go ape north craazzzyyyy

I took one of the bras, a big red one, that was hanging with underwear and socks from makeshift clotheslines around the ceilings, and put it on over my top.

Luvvve the costumes, you nut!!

And, OMG, Banff I sooooo want to go there. Actually looked into this little hole in the wall as my destination...

Susan B.--have a great time, Love

Tom, I am so sorry to hear of your sufferings. Hang in there buddy. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you and your consult--may it bring answers and healthful relief for you

Jess, WIH is all the noise about??? You're scarin' me chickens. Whatcha doin' over there, anyhoo--knockin' out walls er summat?

_{just kidding}

How's the condestructruction going?

Neroli???!!!! Stop hurting yoself, lady! You gotta take care o' you, darlin'.

Did I read that someone had a root canal? OUCH!!! Poor baby, so sorry for you

I now have food in my freezer again, ran the dishwasher, and did mucho laundry and vacuumed--all of which are brought to us by...electricity (falls down on knees in reverent genuflection). I ate a piece of gluten-free angel food cake from my local grocer with fresh strawberries and vanilla yogurt on it, and gawd!! was it good.

Gawd, what the jalapeno were you thinking? Three?

A beautiful place indeed, mais beaucoup de dollars. For other dives on a similar budget, consider Chateau Lake Louise and Jasper Park Lodge.

I stayed at places like this when I had an expense account. The Fairmont property I liked best was the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City, inside the walls and at the top of the bluff in the upper town. The hotel dominates the city skyline. Open Original Shared Link

Anyway . ..blah .. ...been wondering if I've become intolerant to something I've thought of as safe for years.

Better not be lemon juice, garlic or olive oil!!!

So, I've tried 2 wks egg-free, no change. Redbridge-free, no change. What else-free . ..bleh can't remember . .. . .

Tooommm, I think I may have done that to myself; too much citric acid--have avoided it in all its forms for the past three weeks and that terrible itching is phinally going away. Sure hope this intolerance is not permanent, just an overload, and that sometime in the phuture I'll be able to have it again. That is, if it isn't a reaction to the Humira instead; not sure. (lost me emoticons on dis post)

aww the dreaded MIL countdown has begun...... I am glad mine lives close...at least I know she wont ever need to stay the night!

I had a MIL who lived nearby, but nevah left the house (she had MS), so I would go visit her but she nevah came to my house; well only once when I was prepared and then she hurt herselph and wouldn't go in da car again. If she had had the ability to pop in any time she would haved been shocked!!!

Trying to get started with the days destruction. Seem to have pulled a muscle in my neck, but I can't quite talk myself into using it as an excuse.

OK, only two walls on the to-do list. Must get started.

Jess, why all this "self-destruction"??? Can't you hire someone???

Neroli???!!!! Stop hurting yoself, lady! You gotta take care o' you, darlin'.

I now have food in my freezer again, ran the dishwasher, and did mucho laundry and vacuumed--all of which are brought to us by...electricity (falls down on knees in reverent genuflection).

It's not like I'm into cuttin', or anythang! Shite just happens, especiallly when you're clumsy and half awake and have skin like paper!

Ah, I understand the electricity reference; da saviour of today's multi-tasking wimmen.

Things is finally happenin' at the lake. Weather has jumped from 60's to 80's, all the Callies is pouring in, da cops are lookin' for dem (we has to watch out, we has Calllie license plates) and big festivities planned for da fourth, including rubber duckie race down Third Creek ending up at da beach, whoopie! Might buy a duckie just for the heck of it.

Soozle, have a phab time in Carmel and give my regards to da place, although it probably wouldn't remember me by now...so long ago, back when I had me youth... remembering... yearning!

Em, I lost the part of my post about your travels. We did that trip in the 70's in a VW camper; came in through Glacier National Park, Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper... absolutely phab-phantastic trip--Don't feed da bears; we saw a mother and two cubs on the roadside. And this was before lhe days of the Japanese tour buses which now infest New Zealand as well, lined up one behind the other, with everyone hopping out and taking pics of each other and way too busy to look at the scenery!!!. lol

[curlyfries]

Why am I awake????

Oh well......no worries, cuz actually....this is more like the old me

Got me curlies back..........won't know if I like it until I can wash it. Always looks too frizzyish until I do it my way.

.....soooo......I'm telling my hairdresser about what's up lately, yadda, yadda.......you know, the whole story........and guess what?

..........when she gets done she won't let me pay!!!!!!!!!!!......had to force her to take a tip

Um. . . .. ..... . ..Nope. Unfortunately, I just stare in silent wonder at these palatial accommodations on their sites as I look for considerably more....humble lodgings.

The place we are staying in whilst in jasper is called... . . . ...get ready... . ....

Bunnie . . . POOPY COW!!!! . . . and OUCH!!!! . . . I had a root canal once and it went surprisingly very well . . . the root canalologist was known for not having the best people skills but very good at what he does . . . I had no problem wif dat!!! Better than the reverse of great people skills but horrible at drilling, nerve killing & filling.

Leighsuh . . . you deserve some free curls, girl!!!! . . . now go polish up them teefs!!! . . . hey, you goin' to the picnic at Jen's this year?

what the jalapeno were you thinking?

LOL X 100 Peter!!!!

Your link to the Chateau in Quebec was excellent--must consider this as a vacation destination, also. Unfortunately, someone pretty much has to kick the bucket before I can take any expensive trips, because unless I inherit scoads of cash$$$ I won't be going too far. As my husband would say "I can't afford to pay attention"

big festivities planned for da fourth, including rubber duckie race down Third Creek ending up at da beach, whoopie! Might buy a duckie just for the heck of it.

Gah! That sounds like lots o' fun

It looks very nice, Em. And the site said 'pet-friendly'--someplace I might actually be able to visit (with my menagerie). Besides, unless you're planning to only see your hotel, you can use the $ you save to tour the area and experience the place, right?

Bevel . . . I think you should go as Champy . . . if anybody can pull it off, it's you!!!

Yess!!!!! You can paint a wave scene on some poster board to carry in front of you and wear a Champy costume from the waist up while you seemingly glide behind it. Luv it
