Using shutterfly, I've pulled together a bunch of my pics that I especially like and am having them made into a custom calendar which I'll be shipping out as xmas gifts.

It is just too cool to be able to do that.

Wouldn't be able to do it without having learned about shutterfly in the mote.

Thanks!

You can even purchase a custom calendar sofware program and do it yourself. I learned everything I know computer-wise in the Mote, over the years, of course.

Mago - Thanks for inquiring. I doing fine. Plumbing problems - water, not sewage.

Ew!

Summer,

It's very nice of you to come over and reassure me--I was afraid to have been too forward at your place, asking about something you didn't mention there.
Take good care of your self.

16279. The Summer Woman - 8/20/2005 10:33:27 PM

Hey, Mago - I come here more often than you might think!

16280. Magoseph - 8/22/2005 11:40:16 AM

Hello, Summer! I'm glad that you are of of us.

How are things, Mac?

16281. Macnas - 8/22/2005 12:33:42 PM

Grandio Mago, think I'll go for some lunch before tracing roof leaks.

Talk to you later.

Butch weights 60 lbs. You would think the two of us could cleanse his ears and put the ointment in without difficulty. Well, no, it is a trial every time. Naturally, it is not my fault.

16283. arkymalarky - 8/22/2005 11:37:47 PM

60 lbs is pretty large. Mojo is about 75 lbs and Gus is about 65 lbs, and they both look really big, though of course Gus is much furrier.

16284. judithathome - 8/23/2005 12:01:36 AM

Gus and Mojo are beautiful dogs. And of course, Mazie is adorable.

16285. arkymalarky - 8/23/2005 12:08:07 AM

Thanks! I should have taken a picture of Gus after he got back from the vet. They bathed and brushed him and cut his hair (not short--just to get the mats out). He looked gorgeous.

16286. judithathome - 8/23/2005 12:12:54 AM

He looked gorgeous the day he walked up. ;-)

16287. Magoseph - 8/23/2005 12:17:20 AM

How is Klaus, Judith?

16288. judithathome - 8/23/2005 2:34:51 AM

He's doing really well...still eating prescription food but at least it is agreeing with him.

16289. Magoseph - 8/24/2005 4:36:47 PM

I'm very glad to know that he is fine now, Judith.

Hello, Moties, life can be so mundane sometimes.

Butch escaped his leash last evening, ran after a squirrel, and came back with a kind neighbor who tackled him down, deep into the woods. I will save you the rendition of the agony that we experienced looking for him. Now, Flexy knows what a Border Collie/Labrador will do, given the opportunity.

This morning, we had no water and no electricity. They both came back everywhere, except in the kitchen. The way I feel now, I may just condemn this room forever and go to restaurants. It may be cheaper in the end and much more enjoyable than coping with plumbers and electricians.

What is new with you? Any tale of mishaps you would like to tell me about this morning, so that I can feel that I am not alone in house misery?

16290. Jenerator - 8/24/2005 5:38:36 PM

I have a different tale of woe.

I negotiated a way to go part-time this year. I alternate days and work only on B-days, but I teach 4 classes with no conference periods. This means I teach more than part-time and should be compensated. I also sponsor three clubs and have to attend clusters weekly.

Anyway, they're wanting to only pay me half-time salary - even though I am working more. So, definitely job frustration.

My mom has neglected her health and so she is having spinal fusion surgery on Monday (two days after my baby shower!). All of this could have been avoided if she had gone to the doctor 8 months ago.

I love my mom so much, but I do not understand why she neglects herself.

She probably won't be able to watch the baby this fall which I know will be hard for her, too.

I am not mad because that will inconvenience me, but it is a change that I have to account for, and I do not know who will be able to watch a 6 week old - or how I will afford it on a cut salary!

I hate it when people I love do not take their healths seriously.

16291. thoughtful - 8/24/2005 7:14:35 PM

I'm curious how one avoids spinal fusion....what kind of health care would help?

16292. wonkers2 - 8/24/2005 8:10:19 PM

Good posture, back exercises and careful lifting (with your legs)??? (I don't pretend to expertise.)

16293. wonkers2 - 8/24/2005 8:11:05 PM

Cap'n Dirty sez, "I've found sex oncet a day to be helpful!"

Jen, please convey my best regards and best wishes to marshame.
