What part of the country are you from, Laura? Do I already know this? I don't remember if I do . . . it's been a long day. No sillies (or yetis) have yet to show up and help me spread all this freakin' mulch. Have had to do it all meself so far.

Where in hell is that Yeti?!

Here are those bizarre holstein poodles......

Speaking for Laura...she's from the DC area and gets to go to all those fun things downtown.

The only problem is that this is during the week...........and hypothetically, I am supposed to show up at work on those days!

Yes, this is another conundrum.....even if I could manage transportation, if I don't get a summer job, I'll be even more broke than I am now ...if I DO get a job, I'll probably have to work

I won't promise anything at this point....too many variables.

thanks, Lisa

Good Morning, Sillies!!

Bah...just looked outside and saw Gus and Elsie playing in the grass. Elsie had a microchip put in yesterday, and the vet said, "NO activity for 24 hours - - the chip can slide down the side of her body, or even pop out." Well, you should see these dogs...tearing around, jumping on each other, Gus's huge paw landing right on the chip area and pulling....

Guess I may be making a trip back to the vet's to ensure it's still in there.

Too bad I cannot multitask, and have the vet do the long proceedure on my dad that I am taking him to the hospital for this afternoon. I don't even know what's involved, but they have all the same testing equipment at the vet's. .. same heart monitors, ultrasounds, stress equipment, scanners. .. Just dunno if there's a big enough holding crate for him.

I am going to take that day off, I have lots of time stored in my PTO bank and that is how I am going to do it.

Morning Sillies!

I hear this is the last cool day and tomorrow we will start getting warmer and sunnier....here's crossing the fingers to that.

Well off to work some. Talk to you all later!!

[Daxin]

Good Morning all,

SO much catching up to do when you miss a day....guess I'll have to try not to do that anymore.

The idea of a get together sounds AWESOME. Wife and I LOVE to travel, so it could be a good road trip.

Today is gardening day before i head in to tell those silly pilots where to go. We bought some roses and a new lilac tree yesterday, and now we have to plant them...then I think the wife wants to get some herbs for her window baskets....should be a good time! I'm so clumsy I'll be lucky to have all my parts when I'm done

[Lisa]

Hi Ryan,

Long time no see.

"before i head in to tell those silly pilots where to go"......I'm married to one of those pilots and I tell him where to go ALL the time!

[Daxin]

Hi Ryan,

"before i head in to tell those silly pilots where to go"......I'm married to one of those pilots and I tell him where to go ALL the time!

That may be true, but he is well trained by now I'm sure....where I work, they are all student

[blueeyedmanda]

Ryan will you and your wife be close to the Philly area for our silly reunion?

[nikki-uk]

but if a middle school BOY wants a hug,...He's just trying to cop a feel

Them frisky boys!!

Em, Good news on Elsie!!!

Looks like Ryan might be in on the silly in philly summit

WAHHH!!! My feet hurt !!

I made a BIG mistake today, I thought I'd walk the 3 mile (there and back) to my local shopping centRe......man, my feet are ON FIRE (damn those flip-flops)

Going to go and soak my poor tootsies before they spontaniously combust (hate it when that happens)

Oh Nikki--ouch!!!! Three miles in flip flops Yes--you must soak--quickly!

YAY, Amanda!!

Ryan!! Fantastic! Philly must be southeast for you....how long a drive is it for you? Moose Jaw is quite north, is it not? It'll be about an 11 hour jaunt for us...

...should be a good time! I'm so clumsy I'll be lucky to have all my parts when I'm done

If you go back about 150 pages, there is talk about very handy....um...protective. .. slings.. . that could be tied on at such times.

Nikki! Just thank Gawd that you did NOT have suction cups on yer soles......

[tom]

Hmmmm...I think we need to have both Patti and Jess complete a 72-hour phart chart, with numerical specifics that can be observed along with changes in the interval and/or scale, perhaps altering the visual perception of data. This alteration may in itself explain the phluid phluctuation, as per Hermlicht's Theorum.

<now why didn't *I* think of that?>

No word a'tall from the woman to whom I sent my resume yesterday. Because, that's right, IT SUUUUUUCKS.

Ah, I wouldn't worry until 4 or 5 days.

That woman must have PLENTY to do, right?

But, I hope our very own MG can come too!!!!!

What does this meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeean????

. .. Just dunno if there's a big enough holding crate for him.

I'd heard of Moose Jaw in my youth tho maybe only in a Guess Who song. (Medicine Hat too ) I'll guess "Runnin' Back to Saskatoon".

Just checked my wall map of the world & surprised to see it's as far east as DENVER!!!!!!

Ryan's driving to Philly??????

Nikki! Just thank Gawd that you did NOT have suction cups on yer soles......

:lol:

Good mornin' HERE Sillies .. .but .. .

YIKES!!!! I wake up to news of Fire in Santa Cruz Mountains!!!

Luckily it's nowhere near the Kissey Cabin area.

Way south, Susie, by Mt Madonna & Hwy152.

Oy!! Firefighters have been working it for 5hrs and it's grown to 2000 acres - what's weird to me is they're predicting it could be 10,000 acres before they get a hold on it.

[nikki-uk]

Nikki! Just thank Gawd that you did NOT have suction cups on yer soles......

Yes!! Thank gawd indeed ...that would've slowed me down considerably.....probably wouldn't be back yet, reduced to crawling the last 1/2 mile on me smouldering stumps

What does this meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeean????

Ptauaoughmn!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MG = Momma Goose!

Is this the norm in hot weather??

I know when my BIL lived near Sydney Aus they got forest (bush) fires every summer

[tom]

Is this the norm in hot weather??

What they call Fire Season hasn't started yet. The brush dries out & gets brown mid-summer.

Good thing the heat is long gone.

We had 2 days close to 100 a week ago, but now it's the normal low 70s. That pleases the firefighters. (Me too )

[Jestgar]

Interesting insight into human nature.

We had a potluck. Everyone made something gluten free, except the girl whom I expected to actually work while she's at work. She made bread pudding...

[elye]

She made bread pudding...

Gahhhhhh.....Gluten City.......

[curlyfries]

Well....haven't heard back since my interview, yet. She said I would get a call in 2-3 days. This is day 3. I'll bet they save the rejections for last. It's going to really suck if I don't get any work this summer

Usually absolute rejections are first. Your more likely in the "possible" pile. Just hard to know where in that pile you are...

So maybe I still have a chance. But the longer I wait, the more I worry. AARRGHH!

Lisa!! If you don't get work, then you're completely free for the Philly Psilly Psummit!!!

I took my dad to his proceedure this afternoon, and during the car ride I told him about my superb idea of taking both him and Elsie to the vet's, as he could likely get the tests done there in as timely a manner, and I'd only be hitting one place. He thought that this would be a very novel approach to health care. "But", he said, "let's take it a step further, and REALLY multi-task. While you got Elsie's microchip, they could have shot one into my neck as well, and into those of any other senior headed for dementia. I don't know who I am, I go wandering the streets one night - - that chip will tell my tale".

What an interesting postulation.

I'll just be in debt!!!!

Tis very quiet here. Where are all the sillies?
