27943. arkymalarky - 5/3/2014 5:17:28 PM I ordered a pond kit yesterday. Actually, two. One was too cheap not to buy and the other was too cute not to buy. I've noticed a lot of stuff at Amazon fits that description. To cheap or too cute not to buy. Stan informed me yesterday that he's not letting me back in the dollar store. Amazon is like a huge online store. Except a lot of the stuff is really good quality. Although a lot of dollar store stuff is a lot better quality than people act like it is. 27944. robertjayb - 5/8/2014 6:15:49 PM Rain! Seldom seen real rain with thunder and water gushing off the roof.
More good news of a different sort from the Wisconsin village. Our heroin-dealing neighbors have been booted by their landlord. The owner is a local good old boy from the neighborhood who was very kind and helpful to spouse's parents. We had jacked him up in the past about his tenants, mostly because of the amount of trash they collected. Our house-watcher said the village hauled away two truckloads of junk. Good riddance to bad rubbish indeed.
The great TV theft remains unsolved. The investigator said they were unable to make a connection next door but that the case remained open. Dum de dum dum...
27945. arkymalarky - 5/8/2014 6:31:21 PM sometimes it's the customers who are the crooks. That may have been someone who was there an just grabbed your TV on the way. That's what we were the most worried about. So many really creepy people were going up and down the road at that time. 27946. arkymalarky - 5/8/2014 6:31:49 PM There to buy drugs.... 27947. judithathome - 5/8/2014 6:52:15 PM HA! Glad you clarified!
I remember you telling me once that people might think WE were dealers because we drove a Jag...hahaha! 27948. arkymalarky - 5/8/2014 8:30:10 PM yeah, actually this guy owned a jag and two cougars. The real animal cougars. 27949. arkymalarky - 5/8/2014 8:32:58 PM on a serious note, those Motebuds who have been to my parents house know how beautiful it is but how rocky and with a swimming pool and all, and today dad fell. He's conscious but they think he cracked his skull and he bled a whole lot so we're on the way to the emergency room in Hot Springs. 27950. arkymalarky - 5/8/2014 8:33:10 PM the trauma center. 27951. arkymalarky - 5/8/2014 8:35:57 PM my kids were so sweet. They called me to the office and I thought it was a parent or something and it was the police department. When I came back to the classroom I had to pack up fast to leave and they were all just really sweet. 27952. alistairconnor - 5/8/2014 9:24:19 PM Hoping for the best for your father, Arky. 27953. arkymalarky - 5/8/2014 9:46:38 PM Thank you Alistair. Just talked to him. He's still bleeding and in pain and dizzy but no skull fracture. He'll be here a day or two at least. 27954. judithathome - 5/9/2014 1:30:45 AM Oh Arky...please give your dad our regards and tell him we're thinking of him! And you guys, too...
I know how much that beautiful pool area scared me as far as walking around...I have balance problems anyhow and was really skitzy about falling there...scary.
Do you think they might get more serious about moving to a more "level" area now?
27955. arkymalarky - 5/9/2014 1:35:57 AM Thank you Judith! I will. I said I'd never try to do it, but it's ultimatum time and they both realize it now. 27956. Ms. No - 5/9/2014 4:56:19 PM Best wishes for a speedy recovery --- and maybe it knocked some sense into him so they'll listen to you. ;-> 27957. arkymalarky - 5/9/2014 10:25:20 PM Ha! I certainly hope so.
and I was wrong. He does have a skull fracture, but not by his brain. It's where his ear is. 27958. wabbit - 5/10/2014 12:01:55 AM Oh geez, please give him my very best - I remember loving their house and wondering how they managed the terrain. It's a beautiful house, but I agree with JaH, maybe it's time for something less challenging. 27959. arkymalarky - 5/10/2014 12:53:39 AM Thanks wabbit, I will! We're on our way back to the hospital right now. He's had a really good day today. 27960. wabbit - 5/11/2014 2:16:15 PM Happy Mother's Day to all the Mote Moms! 27961. alistairconnor - 5/11/2014 4:40:48 PM I'm thinking about my mother. She is dying; slowly and quietly fading away, as she has been for the past few years as Alzheimers takes its toll. For the past few months she hasn't been talking, and spends most of her time sleeping. Then in the last couple of days she hasn't woken up at all, and so is no longer being fed. She has a drip to keep her hydrated.
So I'm on standby; according to the doctors, she has a life expectancy of two to five days. I'll hop on a plane when I have some more definite news. 27962. Ms. No - 5/11/2014 5:32:10 PM Oh, alistair, I'm so sorry.
