19667. arkymalarky - 6/22/2006 4:13:16 AM Well, wind down time is up.
Day four tomorrow. I've never really been through anything like this. I'm enjoying it, but thinking nine more days in a row is starting to feel claustrophobic or something. 19668. Ulgine Barrows - 6/22/2006 5:33:34 AM Dream on in my world

I have some cracked-ass mama crap that was left in the family home that I have guilt over but would willingly sell
Should I list it with you? 19670. Magoseph - 6/22/2006 2:56:03 PM
Thanks, Wonk, I'll buy it next Monday when I go to the city.
...don't you just hate people telling you what you should be doing when you know perfectly well what you want and need?
Lately, the step-kids and my kids thought they could tell me what to do for just about everything, until I told them that as long as I cause no trouble for any of them, I’ll do as I please.
Ulgine, go ahead!

we just got this four our cat. Dru is finicky... and she just stared at it for the first 12 hours, but she's used it three times now and never went on the carpet.
Looks like Kenny's head (from southpark)

After my mother died last year I found love letters to her from my Dad.
I found some things like that, when my parents kicked the bucket.....upsetting, yet enlightening, at the same time. 19674. Ulgine Barrows - 6/24/2006 6:48:00 AM 19670. Magoseph - 6/22/2006 2:56:03 PM
I love you, hunny bunny. I do.
I am going to grow up and BE you.
You make me smack my lips. 19675. Ulgine Barrows - 6/24/2006 7:01:13 AM don't make me throw another rock at you.
(D.L. Hughley) 19676. arkymalarky - 6/24/2006 2:08:14 PM When Bob and I first married he worked the night shift and we kept a large spiral notebook on the kitchen table and wrote each other every day/night. I still have it, but haven't looked at it since we moved into this house. I don't know what Mose will think, but I hope she will cherish it when she gets it. 19677. judithathome - 6/25/2006 3:00:43 AM She will...I know this already.
Give it to her as a wedding gift, Arky. 19678. arkymalarky - 6/25/2006 3:07:51 AM Hey, that's a good idea, Judith! 19679. alistairConnor - 6/25/2006 12:13:59 PM Hullo all
Just finished declaring my tax on line and I'm mentally exhausted.
Lots of work to do around the house (like spring cleaning, it's getting pretty squalid, thanks for the hints Ark) but I can't face it, it's too hot and I'm (see above)
Mostly I just goof off with the kids on weekends, I miss them during the week. 19680. arkymalarky - 6/25/2006 3:31:06 PM I have the morning "off" to take pictures for an activity for this seminar, which takes back up at 1:00. The picture-taking will be fun, though.
I feel for you, Alistair, I really do. At least the taxes are done and you should reward yourself today!
THE BEST ADVICE when it does get out of control--I actually took "before" and "after" pictures I'll post when I get time--after a very general "picking up" around the house, is to do like Judith said and go room to room, starting with the ONE YOU WILL MOST USE. The reason I use all caps is because it will make you feel instantly better and you'll see that the rest of the place 1) can be conquered and 2) doesn't have to be conquered in a day for you to reap the benefits, especially the emotional ones, which for me was the most important. I'm enjoying my nice living room as I type. My study, which I'm not spending time in during this seminar, is a wreck. But it's not in my world at the moment. The rest of the house is MUCH better than it's been in a couple of years, at least.
Now, off to take my pictures! My theme--based on, what else, RURAL EDUCATION!!!--will be entitled "What have we got to lose?" I'm starting with the Caddo Indian mound down the road, going to the ghost town down the other road, going to the near-ghost town where I taught until the school was closed, then on to my vibrant little town where my vibrant little school is. I'm excited about it, and hope it turns out like I want. I wish Marj was handy to snap them for me!
19681. arkymalarky - 6/25/2006 3:32:40 PM As for what my theme has to do with ESL, it doesn't have to have anything to do with it because the purpose is to learn how to use digital cameras with the kids to make materials for class, but it is definitely cultural. 19682. wabbit - 6/25/2006 5:50:08 PM i3b3 and ronski,
I have two of these litter boxes (and five cats) and they have worked out beautifully. They do take up a bit of space, though. 19683. judithathome - 6/25/2006 11:18:09 PM My friend Guy has those...at one time, he had 7 indoor cats. And 8 feral cats in his garage. He's insane. 19684. iiibbb - 6/26/2006 12:14:40 AM That's cool Wabbit. P has issues with toxoplasmosis... apparently a risk to pregnant women and fetuses (we're not pregnant yet... but we're going to be trying in a year or so). 19685. iiibbb - 6/26/2006 12:19:37 AM I like the price of yours... we don't have room in dru's space to do the roll.
Definitely easier to leave the cat alone for a weekend. 19686. Magoseph - 6/26/2006 1:11:29 PM Hi, everyone,
I'm so busy lately preparing stuff for the Onyx truck that I've no time to come here and say hello. I've decided not to have a garage sale because it's much easier to have the stuff squashed and gone every Monday. However, my DIL goes through everything before it’s put on the curb and pulls out what she deems can be sold along with furniture and that will be done on appointment only. She and my son think that I’m too busy with Flexy’s forthcoming right eye/carotid operations and three real estate closings the next six weeks to bother with garage sales.
