Me too, and my company's due here any minute. Whenever I get started on anything like that, I can't stop until I get to the end, no matter how lame it turns out to be--which I guess is why that program format is so common.

Argh! I meant to post that after Judith!

We've switched cell phone numbers so many times within the family that I'm amazed anyone gets who they mean to, though at least it's stayed within the family. Someone asked the other day if I got a voice mail, and I said no and asked what number they called, and when they gave it I told them that was now my MIL's number and gave them my current one, which used to be Mose's. So now my MIL has a voice mail meant for me, and she'll never know it because she never uses the phone.

I'm sitting here waiting for Keoni to come back from the driving range...yes, I know it's 7pm but my gosh, he's going to play golf in the morning and you can't NOT go to the driving range before you play golf. Forget that you have an air-conditioned garden room with a ceiling high enough to swing a driver...you just HAVE to go.

I've had this cell for almost two years now and just learned how to retrieve voice mails on it. Of course, no one calls me on it because I never know the number to give out.

Yeah, I'm trying to hold out until September when my phone can be upgraded for $20. It'll actually be a double upgrade since the last time it was due my boss upgraded her phone on my number. It's pretty sad right now, the front cover is cracked in half and I have to hold it on with tape.

Grrr...now we get 5 minutes of commercials before they play the next block of songs which will be the #2 band. They were playing 2 each of like the first 25 or something and then 3 and it's been 4 for each band in the top 10.

I'm so not patient.

15696. Ms. No - 7/3/2005 1:11:08 AM

Okay, the #2 band is Depeche Mode which I can sort of see. I mean, yes, they were HUGE for KROQ, but I can't see them beating out both U2 and Nirvana. I mean, Depeche Mode has continued making music but they really had their hey-day in the 80's. I'm a big fan of 80's bands, but this just seems a little weird. Ah well, it was done according to listener votes.

Now just another 45 minutes to #1 which I can't even guess what it'll be. Partially because I don't know what all the other 105.7 band are, but also because I just cannot comprehend a band bigger than U2, Nirvana and...uh, well, Depeche Mode.

weird.

15697. Ms. No - 7/3/2005 1:12:25 AM

Maybe it'll hit and I'll be like "Oh, yeah, okay."

15698. Ms. No - 7/3/2005 1:22:10 AM

I'll be sure to check back in and post the #1 group even if I'm cursing and spitting over it.

For now I'm going to go tool leather. Wheee!

15699. Ms. No - 7/3/2005 1:30:11 AM

Okay, it's cool. I'm completely satisfied

The #1 KROQ band is:


GREEN DAY

15700. arkymalarky - 7/3/2005 3:08:36 AM

Oh yeah!

15701. arkymalarky - 7/3/2005 3:10:31 AM

Company is gone. We shot fireworks and rode around on our newly fixed golf cart with my niece and parents. That was our 4th celebration, and was very fun and laid back--much better than fighting a crowd at the lake.

15702. Magoseph - 7/4/2005 5:53:05 PM

We are leaving for Chicago and tomorrow we'll be back with Flexy's new companion--not a puppy, a guard dog, folks. I have been out of commission for the last two days, in the throes of a summer cold--sore throat, coughing, losing my voice, getting my men folks so upset that I almost landed in the emergency at the hospital. My eldest son kept calling here every hour, telling Flexy that something must be bad since I never get colds. Anyway, while they were arguing on the phone, I drove myself to the pharmacy where I found what I needed—a couple of allergy pills and I was out for the night and most of the following day.

15703. arkymalarky - 7/4/2005 6:37:37 PM

Summer colds are the worst. They can also be confused for sinus infections because of all the allergens in the air.

Let us know how things go with the dog!

I had an amusing job interview today.

I was in an office in Lyon with two French guys, in a telephone conference with another French guy in Madrid, and two Spanish guys in a car somewhere, in Switzerland I think. Naturally, the interview was conducted in English, with appropriate amusing accents. The guys in the car kept dropping in and out of the conference as the reception varied. Everytime they re-entered, there was a Ding-dong doorbell chime. It put me in mind of an ancient Peter Sellers sketch, and I had to keep biting my lip to stop from cracking up.

The interview went well, all things considered.

This is Butch, a Labrador Retriever Beagle Mix.

15706. thoughtful - 7/6/2005 5:07:52 PM

What a cute dog! Welcome Butch! If he takes over the house, will that be a Butch Putsch?

15707. arkymalarky - 7/6/2005 5:56:53 PM

What an adorable dog! His coat is beautiful. I bet you'll both have a lot of fun with him.

15708. Magoseph - 7/6/2005 6:14:41 PM

I think he's going to be my Putsch, toughtful--he slept on my bed last night--I guess I have to give up my bedding for some more suited to him now.

Arky, he's a doll--so smart, he already figured out who's going to be the softie around here. We both are thrilled with him.

15709. judithathome - 7/6/2005 6:19:03 PM

He's beautiful, Mags...and that mix bodes well for being very smart.
