And don't you go poking fun

I've lost more firegundis, it'd make anyone sick.

Doc in FL recommended needle biopsy,

My mom died from that.

I sure hope you and yours have a better doctor!

21081. Ulgine Barrows - 2/7/2007 9:14:49 AM

Or practioner. Whatever they're called.

I knew it was all a mistake when I saw they guy was in his late 20s. Hence the jokes about "practice" when doctors are mentioned.


You've seen the difference and it's getting wider every time.

On another note, isn't it a lovely day?

21083. thoughtful - 2/7/2007 3:42:49 PM

That's horrible, ulgine. I'm so sorry.

We're seeing the lung guy today and he'll decide whether we need that or not...the location of the tumor is such that they might be able to go via bronchoscope.

once in awhile i get to do something fun...just met with the art curator to discuss decorating a conference room we just had redone...just a pleasure.

Happy Valentines Day!



A pair of human skeletons lie in an eternal embrace at an Neolithic archaeological dig site near Mantova, Italy, in this photo released February 6, 2007. Archaeologists in northern Italy believe the couple was buried 5,000-6,000 years ago, their arms still wrapped around each other in a hug that has lasted millennia.

That IS romantic...if a little gruesome.

21087. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 2/7/2007 7:04:16 PM

Skeletons aren't gruesome, they're the amazing inner structure of a remarkable chrysalis.

21088. thoughtful - 2/7/2007 7:33:36 PM

I think i've been married too long...is that an embrace? Or is one trying to strangle the other.

I really have been married to long.

I can see the pic with a caption, I told you the pilot light wasn't lit! You never listen to me!

I have a question...there are lots of stores with fabrics and decorator supplies and furniture that sell to the "trade only". Does anyone know how/what constitutes the trade and how does one go about becoming a member of that trade? Will a business card do? A tax id? I'd love to become a member even if i have only one very special customer....myself.

LOL!

21091. arkymalarky - 2/8/2007 12:35:55 AM

It may involve having credentials of that trade (like a Master electrician) or belonging to an interior decorating organization, in which case you'd have to have a membership card or certificate or something. I have a friend who's an interior decorator. I'll ask him.

21092. judithathome - 2/8/2007 12:38:44 AM

Thoughtful, in my state, you can get a Tax ID as a "sole proprietor" of a business, say...an antiques business...and obtain a tax ID number. You, for instance, could acquire one for Thoughtful Interiors...and use it in shopping for fabric, etc. But go ahead and pay your taxes on what you buy...then, at the end of the year, you'll get a tax statement and all you you have to do is list $0.00 in the column that shows what you owe. I never claimed tax owed status because everything I bought was for resale and everything I didn't pay tax on was later resold and tax was charged on it then.

You'd need to show on the state tax form that your business ddidn't make a profit and that you didn't buy things tax free...however, you could use the tax ID to get into trade shops.

What's going on here? Even jexster is hardly attacking me any more. I'll be forced to post more substantive content and not indulge in irony and smarting off if you guys keep this up.

What can we say? We're a kinder, gentler Mote.

Harley report: today Harley was basking in the 70 degree sun in the front door (glass screen door) and I hear the doorbell...thinking it might be my mechanic delivering my car, I go in and see Harley all "Hallowwen-cat-backed" and fluffed out and hissing like a rabid racoon and then she bolts out of the room.

Turns out, it's my friend Patti with her Boston Terrier. They had just been to the dog park and Ollie was in dire need of a a drink of water...seems Ollie had been in a friendly mood and wanted Harley to notice him through the glass door.

Harley hid for over 45 minutes afterward. It occurred to me later that she has never come in contact with a dog before and she was scared out of her wits.

A new young cat is such a joyful time, Judith–relish it!

21097. judithathome - 2/8/2007 4:15:40 AM

I won't be online tomorrow because my son is going into the hospital for a procedure to put a stent in his leg...he has peripheal vascular disease and could have lost his foot over the weekend because some fool at the ER told him he had a muscle cramp.
