28589. judithathome - 4/15/2015 9:09:09 PM Well, I'm glad it didn't come to that. Really a tough thing to put a pet down.
It haunts you even though you know it was the right thing to do.... 28590. arkymalarky - 4/15/2015 10:31:01 PM Yes it does. 28591. vonKreedon - 5/1/2015 6:10:48 PM Happy International Worker's Day, Comrades!
28592. judithathome - 5/1/2015 9:31:38 PM Where's the parade??? 28593. alistairconnor - 5/5/2015 6:58:25 PM ... and how's work, von K?
Since you ask... I'm programming these days. Visual Basic. Makes me feel... 25 years younger! 28594. arkymalarky - 5/6/2015 12:01:02 AM How young does this make you feel?
how-old.net 28595. vonKreedon - 5/6/2015 5:38:04 PM Thanks for asking AC, work sucks, as in I've been effectively unemployed for over two years now. I used to get an offer for about every 3 interviews, but not now. I suspect ageism.
Short joke:
Why older men don't get hired.
Interviewer: What would you say is your biggest weakness?
Older man: Honesty.
I: Oh, I don't think that honesty is a weakness.
OM: I don't give a fuck what you think.
28596. Wombat - 5/8/2015 10:36:17 PM vK: Being there, doing that. 28597. arkymalarky - 5/9/2015 3:08:22 AM www.theonion.com/article/new-education-initiative-replaces-k-12-curriculum--38048 28598. arkymalarky - 5/9/2015 3:09:18 AM Oops. Wrong thread. 28599. arkymalarky - 5/9/2015 10:06:26 PM Y'all holding on, Judith? 28600. wabbit - 5/11/2015 12:08:27 AM Happy Mother's Day mote moms! 28601. judithathome - 5/11/2015 8:56:13 PM Tornado veered north of us just three miles away... 28602. Ms. No - 5/11/2015 9:06:24 PM I heard this morning that it was in Denton and wondered about you all.
Ever notice how tornadoes don't tend to hit large cities? I mean, you'll get tornadoes all around Dallas, but I don't recall any actually IN Dallas. Ditto Ft. Worth.
I wonder if the city-scape alters the weather/temperature/wind patterns in such a way that it repells tornadoes. 28603. judithathome - 5/11/2015 9:26:19 PM but I don't recall any actually IN Dallas. Ditto Ft. Worth.
Well...evidently you missed the one that went one block away from our house, crushed the field house at my old high school, and destroyed the tallest glass tower in downtown Fort Worth a couple of decades ago.
And we had one 30+ years ago that hit on my birthday and killed some people at an arts festival along the river: Mayfest...a (former) friend of mine suffered severe problems from being hit by hail the size of baseballs...she looked like a victim of spousal abuse, she was so bruised and beaten up.
Strangely enough...you're right: I don't recall ANY stories like this about DALLAS.
28604. arkymalarky - 5/12/2015 1:20:55 AM glad to know you're ok. We're out of school today because no electricity and trees down. Two people were killed in Nashville Arkansas which is about 15 miles from where I work 28605. Ms. No - 5/12/2015 4:08:07 PM Just goes to show that even tornadoes don't want to visit Dallas. 28606. Ms. No - 5/12/2015 4:09:24 PM Glad you guys are all okay. It's times like this when I have to just shut up about how what passes for weather in California bores the crap out of me. 28607. judithathome - 5/12/2015 6:28:05 PM Just goes to show that even tornadoes don't want to visit Dallas.
Oh how I love this...need a bumper-sticker made up! 28608. arkymalarky - 5/21/2015 1:36:12 AM well, Mose is about to land in San Francisco. My son in law is giving a presentation at Stanford and working there a couple of days, and she got to go with him. her school is very nice to accommodate her for the trip.
