Hey Mac! You too!

23331. Ms. No - 1/4/2008 6:35:19 PM

Alistair,

Ha! Maybe I'll end up on one of Letterman's lists.

I didn't find the inside of the possum pouch particularly soft. Mostly it was warm and nipply. Not gross at all unless you dwell on it.

23332. Ms. No - 1/4/2008 6:35:30 PM

oh...

23333. Ms. No - 1/4/2008 6:35:41 PM

this is a cool post number

Thank god the water main on our street broke today and not earlier in the week...however, I'd just as soon have water and no break at all.

Keoni went back to work today and I awoke to find not only no water but that I have a developing chest cold.

Thus far, 2008 has sucked. Big time.

23335. Ms. No - 1/4/2008 7:11:40 PM

The wind here has been blowing steadily at 25-30mph all through last night and this morning and gusting up to 60mph. The power has flickered a couple of times, but we haven't lost it yet.

j@h, i sympathize with your illness. Hubby and i had colds all holiday long and even gave it to my mother. He's better now. I was better for one day, returned to work and have picked up either a new one or a recurrence of the old one all over again. How frustrating.

Weather-wise, it warmed up this am to 12...yesterday it was only 10. Jimnu!

I'm sorry, Judith!

So far, mine's pretty good. I'm excited about politics for the first time in a very long time, Mose and the rest of my family are doing well, I'm having a very good school year with a nice workload, I'm slowly but surely getting my house and health back under control, I'm losing weight and feeling better, and I found out the bridge in the bottoms is on the historical register, so they can't tear it down. They're building a new one beside it. Best of both worlds!!

I did discover today that I have tendonitis. Unfortunately it was after I made a bad pain much worse by putting together a cheap piece of furniture to put a tv on. That's painful stuff. I still hurt badly, but hopefully the meds, ice, etc, will help.

23338. judithathome - 1/5/2008 6:22:47 PM

Ouch! But such great news about the bridge!

Keoni and I are venturing OUT this afternoon...first time in over 2 weeks for me. AND I bought a new winter coat today...online...and got 50% off on it.

Life is good.

23339. arkymalarky - 1/5/2008 8:40:56 PM

Yep. Will you need the coat? It's going to be in the 60s here today.

I guess I should post this in TV and Movies, but Dish has a good new channel if you're into natural stuff--Veria, on channel 9575. They've got an hour long yoga program and an hour long pilates program, plus cooking, aromatherapy, organic and health info, etc.

23340. judithathome - 1/5/2008 11:20:18 PM

I think you have to pay more for it, though. I think I wouldn't use it that much...don't do either of those exercise programs. But I'll check it out because I'm definitely into the aromatherapy stuff.

That may change (no exercise programs) when the gym opens, though...they have classes and I can go to them 7 days a week if I choose to. I had planned on doing my own thing in the pool...my workout...but I may do a water aerobics class, too.

23341. arkymalarky - 1/6/2008 1:17:19 AM

It's not extra. It's free, at least on my package, which has no premium channels. The exercise programs are great, but they're the only two exercise programs in a line-up that includes lots of information about natural remedies, alternative medicine, organic shopping, uae of herbs, etc. And it's not too fuzzy or out-there, based on what I've seen so far. It's even got cooking programs, including one just for desserts using natural ingredients and no sugar.

I was into yoga long ago, in high school and college, and I loved it. I'm ready to get back into it, but I need a program--it's hard to do from a book, though I have before. This channel surfaced just as I was looking for that. I also like what I've seen of pilates, though I want to still walk at least two miles a day.

Honkers take an extra dose of beta blockers

23343. wonkers2 - 1/6/2008 6:42:31 PM

Very little in this world is free.

23344. judithathome - 1/6/2008 8:02:38 PM

Arky, I'll check it out!

23345. arkymalarky - 1/10/2008 3:09:52 AM

I am so pissed. I wrecked my car. Just brain-farted right into the back of someone getting off the interstate exit ramp.

23346. wonkers2 - 1/10/2008 5:38:54 AM

Too bad! At least apparently nobody was injured.

23347. Ms. No - 1/10/2008 6:29:51 AM

Well, crap, Arky. I'm glad no one was hurt, but I know how bad the whole thing sucks. I'm still humiliated that I did that very thing. How bad is the car wrecked? Salvageable or totalled?

23348. arkymalarky - 1/10/2008 7:48:36 AM

Thanks, y'all. I know what you mean, No. I'm just so disgusted with myself. I don't know about the car yet. A hose of some sort is leaking and I can't lift the hood. The policeman was very nice and looked through the gap between the bent up hood and the motor to see if it would be okay to drive. I got it to Mose's house and will have the wrecker pick it up from there. Low population effect: It was a former colleague of mine's mom.

23349. alistairconnor - 1/10/2008 5:38:58 PM

Bugger! Sounds like you didn't completely write it off at least. How did you go with yours, No? Do you have wheels? Are they safe and/or legal?

My girlfriend totalled her car just before she met me... ran it into the back of a bus. (Why do women do that?) In her case, she told me it was because she learned to drive at the police academy... you learn to do everything fast. She accelerated to overtake the bus then noticed someone else had pulled out to overtake her... having the choice, she chose the bus... Smart move. The bus sustained no damage.

I really shouldn't mention that she had forgotten to pay her insurance premium... total financial loss too... because that would make her sound like an idiot. Which she certainly is not!
