16542. arkymalarky - 9/9/2005 11:40:26 PM Oooh, that would be cool, 3i3b. 16543. arkymalarky - 9/9/2005 11:42:46 PM I used to crochet too, Pelle, and it was one of the most relaxing things I found, but I got busy and dropped it. I keep meaning to pick it back up now that things are less hectic. Maybe when it gets cold. 16544. Ms. No - 9/10/2005 12:14:29 AM I dunno, Arky, I think I'd likely drop the f-bomb within the first ten minutes of my on-air career......or the last ten minutes as the case might turn out to be. ;-> 16545. arkymalarky - 9/10/2005 2:15:39 AM Hey, that's all the rage right now! 16546. wonkers2 - 9/10/2005 3:23:10 AM Has anybody else heard Ed Shultz, the afternoon stalwart on Air America? He's from a deer hunting, beer drinking pickup driver from North Dakota. I'm sure his views on gun control are close to those of iiibb who I picture as an Ed Shultz-like character. (3i3b, I mean this a a compliment!) 16547. Magoseph - 9/11/2005 10:25:45 AM Hello, wonk, nice weekend so far? 16548. wonkers2 - 9/11/2005 11:57:08 AM Hi Mago, so far so good, except my Aunt Margaret died Saturday at age 101 after falling and breaking her hip. That means a quick trip to Valentine, Nebraska, tomorrow. My, your'e up early! 16549. Magoseph - 9/11/2005 12:28:58 PM Wonk, did aunt Margaret have a good run until the end?
Always up around three, I like the quiet and calm around the house. 16550. wonkers2 - 9/11/2005 1:17:13 PM She was blind for the last five years or so of her life, but she pretty much retained her mental faculties. She spent the last several years in a nursing home. The last time I saw her she was still living at home and doing pretty well. 16551. thoughtful - 9/11/2005 2:11:58 PM Wonks, sorry to hear about Aunt Margaret. It's amazing how many people don't survive a broken hip. We tend to think of broken bones as not fatal, but for the elderly it very often is. 16552. arkymalarky - 9/12/2005 1:20:54 AM I'm sorry about your aunt, Wonk. 16553. arkymalarky - 9/12/2005 1:23:31 AM Well, Bob talked to his NO friend, and she's doing well. They're relocated in TX and probably will be there for at least a year.
We haven't heard anything wrt anyone staying with us. We let the local agencies and my church know about it and there were two possibilities--one with five cats, who wouldn't have lasted long here--and evidently they ended up elsewhere. We're not very conveniently located for people who don't have their own transportation, and for those who do, they've probably found apartments, etc. Our info's out there, anyway, if something does come up. 16554. Magoseph - 9/12/2005 8:47:53 AM Hi, Mac! 16555. Magoseph - 9/12/2005 9:24:12 AM Keoni and I danced at Lowe's Saturday while shopping for a new faucet. A slow dance, on the fixtures aisle.
I just read this little item in Chaaaaaaaaaaaarge! An Escape for the Nutters from the Alltooreal. Let me ask the obvious here: When you first met, was this music playing in the background, Judith? 16556. Magoseph - 9/12/2005 9:24:40 AM Salut, Ali! 16557. Macnas - 9/12/2005 9:46:11 AM Hello Mago. 16558. Magoseph - 9/12/2005 9:47:15 AM I wasn't going to mention the following here, because it's just too absurd for words, but I’ll so that maybe one of you can give us some belated advice that may come handy in the future.
Have you ever dealt with a spunky dog that got away from you in the dark of the night and met a skunk? What I can tell you is that the washing machine and the dryer ran for hours, the bathroom and the shower downstairs were battle grounds, and the house’s windows were all open all night.
The neighbor, kitty-corner from us, became so worried with the house lit and the shadows scurrying around, (kind of fighting, she said), she came over and joined the battle, the smell, and went home stinking, dirty, and in hysterics because she thought we were so inept dealing with the situation.
16559. Macnas - 9/12/2005 10:02:49 AM Oh Mago, you poor girl, I have no advice for you other than to invest in a radio fence perhaps.
You have made me laugh though. 16560. alistairconnor - 9/12/2005 10:55:28 AM ... and the dog enjoyed all the attention so much, he's going to have a look for another one tonight! 16561. Ms. No - 9/12/2005 4:54:15 PM Two words, Mago:
Imitation Vanilla
My step-father's hunting dogs had a couple of altercations with skunks over the years and he swears by immitation vanilla --- has to be immitation, not the real stuff (which is fortunate for the pocketbook). It works better than tomato juice or any of the specialized products he'd ever bought.
