Was going to go to Lollapalooza to see Depeche Mode, but I'm not sure if I want to be stuck in a crowd of unwashed frat boy wannabe fans and oversexed, underdressed, wannabe fangirls.  I might wait and see if they do a second leg of their tour before I see them.

You already know that in August you will have a spider in your home and will feed the urge to kill it?  That's some psychic ability you got there!

Last night, my husband and I were getting ready to go to bed.  I was standing at the sink brushing my teeth, and he brought his pillow into the bathroom and shook it over the toilet.  I was like "what in hell are you doing?"  and he was like "nothing."  So I'm looking in the toilet, and around it, and there was nothing there.  

Well it turned out, when he went to get into bed, there was a big black spider ON HIS PILLOW!  He didn't want to scare me (because he knew I would FREAK) so he tried to just quietly shake it into the toilet, but it landed up on the tank instead, so he had to chase it down to flush it.  But seriously, like I'm not going to notice him shaking his pillow over the toilet?  It was nice of him to try though.  I appreciated the effort.  And I especially appreciated the fact that there was not a big scary spider in my bed when I got into it.   :o

August SchmAugust!

Nothing is happening the whole month except for one weekend when there are about 4 things I have going on that I would like to do, so have to juggle to see what I can fit in.  Hate when that happens.   >:(


;D

I'm the same. We are going away for the weekend next weekend, our only summer break and I got invited to 4 other things all over that same weekend!! Bah.

Today I just can't get motivated.

I mailed out everything that needed to be mailed... finally!
$40 to get it all done. Hopefully I will have my new graphics card within the next 2 weeks. Nasty should get his boxes in about 7 days. Other's should get their things right shortly as well. Doing laundry today and making spaghetti for dinner. Going to watch a movie now for real - not like I planned yesterday then never did it.

oOo and it is gorgeous outside!! I am loving the warmth and Vitamin D!!! 8)

okay because the way you worded it was confusing.

maybe they had someone scheduled but they called in sick or didn't show up
or
maybe they didn't think it there would be a need for a cart attendant before noon.

how many cart attendants (total) work at pathmark?

We have to get up VERY early tomorrow because my SIL didn't realize that their flight leaves at 6:40.  :o :o :o  At least they don't have to get there 2 hours before. We figure that we will leave here about 5:30-get there about 6 and that will definitely be enough time. They will be flying in an 8-seater-INCLUDING the pilot-so how long does it take for 7 people to go through security?


As we were reading the paper this morning, there was a knock on the door-it was my brother & my other SIL. They called on Friday night saying they were in town this weekend. They stopped by only for a few minutes but I thought it was interesting that both of my SIL's were in the same room at the same time. However, I would much prefer to have Carlos' sister around than my brother's wife (she would definitely start stinking after 3 days-and sometimes after 3 hours.  ::) ).

Busy day today!

Went to two different trivia tournaments.  Placed 5th (out of 22) in the first one, and placed 3rd (out of 18) in the second.  Won a $10 gift certificate in the second one, wish I would have won in the first one - prizes in that one were much more grand ($50 cash for 3rd place, $100 cash for second, and $200 cash plus a spot in the national trivia tournament in Atlanta, Georgia for 1st place.)

Came home, clean house, watched an old episode of True Blood with my husband's friend, then my father-in-law came in and entertained him for awhile, had to e-mail him about 20 photos of my husband's nieces and nephews and other photos of his recent trip to Pittsburgh.

Very tired now.  Hubby has a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning and then more trivia contest tomorrow night.  Busy busy busy.  Wheeeeeeeeeee

We went to the beach on Saturday.  It was so crowded!  I really tried to keep the sun cream on but I still burnt slightly!  We all had a swim in the sea and the kids built sand castles.

Yesterday we went for a bike ride.  We thought we'd found a woodland with a nice loop we could all do.  We planned to ride out on the rougher track and return along the dirt road.  The start of the track was uphill and rocky so we thought we'd ride to the other end and return that way because its easier to ride downhill over it.  Anyway, we got to the other end to find that was worse!  So I rode back along the dirt road with the kids whilst Dai rode along the rough track.  He said it was really tricky in parts.

we slobbed about in the afternoon watching Indiana Jones on DVD.

This morning the kids are doing to first day of a two week Excursions in Learning course at a local college.

Frowns  wont she let me be
Never grown up right

Just the usual I'm feeling down.  The I really don't know what to do with myself.  It makes it hard when you don't really have any desires to work towards anything.  My mom wants me to make an appointment with Drail, but I have nothing to say, so I'm making an appointment for her to something about me.  Yeah, I know I don't know,  the next thing I was going to do was get a job/volunteer something.  My excuse right now is taking the bus in 100 degrees is not good.  Call me lazy and selfish, but I have all my time.  Lifes been good to me so far.

I feel a little bit better today-but not much. I took something that helps but not completely. Carlos has an appointment with the radiologist today. I decided not to go with him because I could still be contagious and I'm sure people in the Cancer Clinic have very low immune systems right now-I really don't want to give them this (whatever this is) because I know that can't be good.

If I tell my mom to get lost when she doesn't want me to go.  I never became a rebellious teenager and she still gets to me.  The next thing I plan to do is get some kind of volunteer/job something.  

My mom wanted to raise me just like her mother raised her. Congratulations mom I'm your worst nightmare wa ha ha ha ha.  She raised me this way then had John when I was five and I didn't want him to become like me.  Then she had Joel when I was 10, and I kept my place as the disfunction target.  She's done having kids now I just have to see if I can figure out what to do with myself.

We once hired a maid service for my grandma a few years back, but after a few months of service, problems began to arise. My grandma discovered that some of her money was gone...and we tried to get the company to admit that they stole the money...but they never did. So we discontinued the service.


I hope this doesn't discourage anyone from hiring maids.

I'm sure it is not it. Reading the symptoms, ( http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Pandemic-flu/Pages/Symptoms.aspx ) it says a high fever. If I do have a fever, it is very low grade (I have been checking my temp.) Also, the symptoms say a sudden cough-like I said, there is really nothing in my lungs to cough up-my cough is from a tickle in my throat caused by post nasal drip. Another symptom is diarrhea or stomach upset,  which I do not have. I have a head cold.

I had a pretty good day today myself. We went out this afternoon to celebrate my grandma's birthday, which is tomorrow. We took her to lunch at the Smoke House, a restaurant in Burbank that has existed for over 60 years, and it is located near the WB Studios.

Put a dent in that bottle of brandy. Did it work? Good question. I didn't cough last night & my sinuses seem a bit clearer (but not yet completely clear). I still feel like I am running a low-grade fever. Tonight, I am going to do the brandy thing again. Hopefully that will be enough to knock this thing out of me once and for all.

So.... yesterday I rented a car and drove to Salinas for a baby shower. I managed to get out without getting shot, stabbed or car jacked!  8)
And for anyone who read the dream thread..... I escaped that too.... it was a really vivid frightening dream.... anyway

My friend's daughter, who was 18 months when I first met her, is almost 23 and due in October!  She has grown up to be a smart, funny, intelligent and thoughtful young woman.  I am so proud of her and her fiance is nice too... first time meeting him. She moved to San Diego so while I talk with her mom often I hadn't seen her in about 6 years.

Today I took the car back. I work about 2.5 miles from the airport. I usually 0ark at work and have one of the officers drive me to car rental desk.  Today I thought, its 9am, its sunday and its cool out.... I think I'll walk to my car....

I did- it took 45 minutes but I did. Only, when I got to my car.... .no keys  :-\\ .  I had them at the airport...so I called the car rental place but I didn't leave them there... that means I dropped them somewhere along the 2.5 walk  ::)

I have a spare key in my car but my work keys are on the set I lost so I had to retrace my steps.....rather than walk I call a tow truck.. he gave me freebie since we throw him a lot of business.... YAY!  and then I drove, parked walked a quarter mile got back in the car and repeated... I think I covered another mile (maybe a mile and a half)  when I got to Goleta Beach I saw a guy picking up litter on a whim I asked him (because I walked past there)  and he had my keys!!!!

Then I came home... I started the walk at 9am- started looking for my keys at 1015 and got home around 1115... I was exhausted. I crashed on the couch and just woke up about 20 minutes ago.

It's almost done.  I will be quitting my job very soon.

During the past 6 months at the Financial institution I work for, I have been the subject of personal harassment, racially motivated (I'm pretty much the only white person around)
I have looked for other work, ask for a transfer, etc.. I have complained to my manager, and in the past few months have escalated it all the way to an AVP of the company and HR ( Human Resources)

Other than HR, the mgr's and AVP do not want to take any action ( stick their heads in the sand like an ostrich and hope the problem goes away).  I am disgusted to go to work everyday now. I will probably get a small package and E.I ( unemployment insurance) until I find something else.
No job is worth personal/racial harassment (in this case by a bunch of self-centered rude Chinese women) I am not racist, my wife and pretty much most of my social circle is Chinese. It's been a tough few months. But I'm OK with it. I have done all that I can do and must move on.

Thanks. Every other "non-Chinese" person has already quit. I will be the last. Sadly, management rarely addresses there types of issues (unless you have proof on video tape). Even though we had made great strides in this over the last 40 years, racism is still prevalent just about anywhere.

I resigned today. They are meeting now to decide when should I leave, what will they do. They never thought I would actually quit over the personal harassment/racism. They were shocked....the spineless twist still won't do anything about it, but I shocked them.
Normally, it's compnay policy to give 2 weeks notice, but in this case I'd like to be gone real soon. If they don't, I will threaten them with "OK, you want me to stay here 2 weeks, great...I won't do any work , and I'll chat with others as to how bad I have been treated here and blablabla..." That will scare them. Mind you, I would not do it, but they don't know that.  ;)

ooh...have fun.  I absolutely LOVE Virginia Beach, although I haven't been there in 20-odd years.  Hope the weather is nice for you.
I loved their aquarium and there was a nautical museum right on the boardwalk there that I liked.  Also if you get a chance (and happen to see it) somewhere down there is a restaurant named "Abbey Road", take a snapshot of it since we're kinda Abbey Road obsessed around here.  lol
Also there is a Center for Psychic something-or-other built by Edgar Cayce there that I always wanted to go to, but never could with my family.
We used to visit the Botanical gardens and the zoo near the airport in Norfolk and that was fun, (although both are sorta small).
I keep rambling on and on about Virginia Beach, I'm gonna have to get there again someday soon.  :-)

Yes, a huge decision.

Good Luck Frank in finding new work.  Is most of the bank's clientele of the Chinese decent?

Yes.
Ya know, there's people who come as immigrants to own country ( or yours) that want to learn English and at least partially assimilate. This bunch wants Canada to assimilate to them. Some have been here 20 years and they have no desire to adapt at all to North American culture, nor even learn anything about it. Many come over for the free Health care. To them, white people are scum (and they have said similar to me). Having said that, I have met many many wonderful Chinese people (like my wife, her friends, family, etc..)

Thanks, I think I took all the right steps, didn't give up, went to an AVP of a Major CDN bank. Spineless management wants to take no action. They are still shocked when I presented them with a resignation letter.

Sorry to hear this Frank.  So, typical of a company to hope that the 'victim' leaves rather than address the real issue!

Further to my previous post.

I resigned today. They are meeting now to decide when should I leave, what will they do. They never thought I would actually quit over the personal harassment/racism. They were shocked....the spineless twist still won't do anything about it, but I shocked them.
Normally, it's compnay policy to give 2 weeks notice, but in this case I'd like to be gone real soon. If they don't, I will threaten them with "OK, you want me to stay here 2 weeks, great...I won't do any work , and I'll chat with others as to how bad I have been treated here and blablabla..." That will scare them. Mind you, I would not do it, but they don't know that.  ;)
Thanks for your support.



I, like others on here, are sorry that it had to come to that, but good for you for doing what you had to do rather than tolerating an intolerable situation.  It sounds like you did everything the "right" way (going through channels to get the situation resolved), so you can certainly leave with a clear conscience.  I don't know if I could go another 2 weeks. 

I would like to add my best wishes for whatever comes your way.

Sorry to hear this Frank.  So, typical of a company to hope that the 'victim' leaves rather than address the real issue! They will reap what they sow!  Once you are gone ... these women will turn on each other (as people like this need to take issue with someone) and the culture their will be shot!

There are better things around the corner for you!  :)

Thanks.

Nice outing. No wind so we had to use the motor. We anchored in our usual spot and started fishing. We both forgot our bathing suits which was too bad. It was really hot out there and a dip would have been great. I could have gone in my underwear or even gone skinny dipping but I just didn't feel like it. So we filled the cockpit up with water and took a bit of a bath.

We caught some nice white perch (one yellow perch but it was too small so we threw it back). Carlos cleaned them and then we found out that our stove was out of fuel.  :(  All that work on the fish and we didn't get to eat any of it. We got to sleep with the hatch all the way open since it was a nice night. As we are laying there in the vee-berth, we can look up at the stars. Unfortunately, we didn't see any meteors. That would have been the prime place to view them. Every night we spend out there, I always thank the person who had the boat before us. The made screens for the hatch & the opening-so we can keep them open and not worry too much about bugs (but they do come in anyway  >:( ).

We didn't get rained on at all but we saw the isolated t-storms. They were quite a distance from us. It was interesting because it was clear right over us but there were massive clouds in the distance. (Got lots of pics.)

Since we didn't have a stove, this morning we just pulled up anchor and headed home. I took a shower when we got in and now I am having my first cup of tea for the day.

Carlos is happy because he FINALLY got to get out on the Big Dog.

We didn't get rained on at all but we saw the isolated t-storms. They were quite a distance from us. It was interesting because it was clear right over us but there were massive clouds in the distance. (Got lots of pics.)

Since we didn't have a stove, this morning we just pulled up anchor and headed home. I took a shower when we got in and now I am having my first cup of tea for the day.

Carlos is happy because he FINALLY got to get out on the Big Dog.

Glad you guys were able to finally get out on the boat (despite the slight snags in the plan), Cat.
Sounds like a very nice night.  It would be awesome to lay there and look at the stars (even if you didn't see any falling ones).


As for me, I was in the world pinball tournament (which started this morning in Pittsburgh and runs qualifying games through Saturday night, with the finals games being played on Sunday.)  I did alright this morning, but as the day went on, my ranking dropped further and further down the list.  lol  I haven't decided if I want to go try again or not.  It costs $10 for each entry and money is a little tight right now.  But how many times does one get to play in the World tournament?  lol  I'm torn.

Do it Patty... just one more time...


So I was watching the Bio Channel and they did a story on DB Cooper.  Did you know the hijacker's name on the passenger's manifest was not DB Cooper but "Dan Cooper?"

The FBI was trying to locate suspects so they checked all the Coopers in the area and came across the name DB Cooper in the phone book. They went to the residence but found DB was home (the hijacker was still on the plane at the time) so DB Cooper was eliminated as a suspect.

But- a news reporter heard that the FBI had a suspect "DB Cooper" and ran with the name as a headline...... the name was attributed to hijacker - who was never found  but ya know.... he's not the man they were looking for... fascinating.

For the past year, she's been writing news articles for the newspaper which my dad works for. Also she's been spending ample time helping to plan her 40-year class reunion, which will happen next month.

I haven't got that far yet, but if I was to pick one, it would be "Houses of the holy". I just like that album.
I know most like IV and II..or even the 1st one. I like "Houses of the holy"

Absolutely! I can't always be bothered to talk to people  :-[ also if you have a family like mine where they have to talk and talk and talk and talk when all you want to do is say 'meet you later' or something it is far, far easier to send a text.  ;D

Exactly.  Sometimes you just don't want to talk to the person so texting is easier, and, if you have limited minutes but unlimited texts, cheaper.

We got home about 8:00 tonight.  I did jazz in Reed City (amazing) and then went over to the lake on Saturday.  Saturday afternoon Micah and I went to Baldwin to hear the same group I listened to on Friday.  We had an early dinner at the diner Micah likes, then homeade Jones ice cream.  We bought 2 of the CDs, then Randy said we were the Boogoloo Sisters of the North (name of their 1st CD and only 1 I didn't buy).  Told him if he'd bring it to Big Rapids on the 26th, I would buy it then but I only brought enough money for the other 2.  Next thing I know the piano player is handing me the CD for free.  He knew I bought the other 2 because I had everyone sign both of them (I know Randy the drummer really well).  We listened to the Grooveadelphia CD all the way back to the lake.  Today was a lazy day, then drove home.  We'll do it again next week (different jazz group and this time we'll go to the lake right from there).

I would be happy if you would just convince him that he had the right idea when he said (first phone call which was 5:00 AM Saturday) if he didn't hear from me he wouldn't call anymore.

That sounds like an amazing weekend!  I did a whirlwind trip of NY, but I know I missed as much as I flew by.

I have had an enjoyable time, albeit busy. County Fair the end of July, friends Bridal Shower in Chitown, Officer Retreat (camping - in cabins), taking camper to state fairgrounds, and then being at the fair for 1 week...  I am at home for 2 days and then I have teacher inservice, go back to state fair for weekend, and then start school next Monday.  I then can go to my friends Bachlorette the next weekend (and her wedding is the following weekend) - not sure if I want to make 2 more trips to Chicago.. I am for sure going to wedding (would love to go to Bachlorette - but when am I too rest - AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

I was leaving the house to go to my appointment when I got stung by a *&^%$#@* yellowjacket right on the ankle. It hurt like a mother all day long. It was finally starting to ease when we got home. I was kind of nervous to go on the porch (where I had gotten stung). Sure enough, not only did they get me again in the leg, they also got Carlos on the toe (he was wearing sandals). After we got inside, Carlos went around back and got some spray. He said that he saw where their underground nest was under the porch-but unfortunately, we are out of spray. Right now, he is on his way to the store to pick some up.

Now, not only does my left ankle still hurt, but now my right leg just above my ankle hurts as well.  >:( >:( >:( >:(

I thought about it but will sign NO THANKS tomorrow and just keep working. it's a generous offer but the money would eventually run out and then I'd have to look for a job. if I had a job lined up then I'd consider it.

on a sad note, a few months ago I shared that my friend Randy has terminal asbestos cancer. he's not doing good and may not have too long to live. a friend is organizing a get together of softball teammates to gather at his house and watch old softball videos of our team from the 80's & 90's. it breaks my heart to see such a good young man (55) have to go thru this. he's married with 2 high school son's. anyways, it hurts but he's been a man of great faith and lived a good life so hopefully our get together will let him know he's a beloved friend and teammate.

thanks Peter. us teammates played together from 1980 until this day there are still 3 of us original members still playing. he was our coach and pitcher. it's definitely all about him and his family. it's a tough situation but we love the guy and will try to enjoy the glory days as we watch younger versions of Randy and us on video. there should be at least 10 or more members of the team in attendance plus other friends.

I wish I could figure it out!  June and July here in western MI was more like early fall or spring---frost on the windows in the morning, not getting over 50 or 60 degrees (should have been in the low 80s by late June and upper 80s to 90s in July and August with about 80%+ humidity.  We have had maybe a week (not consecutively) of days in the 80s or 90s and humidity over 60%.  Right now it is 79 and 67% humidity.    ::)

Just got done meeting with someone from Kendall (they are considered part of our university for some things, independent institution for others) who basically wants me to do her work AND mine......yeah, right!  Told her we process 20-30k evaluations per semester and we are down to 1.5 people.  Hers are labor intensive.  She still left upset because she "didn't get the answers I wanted".  Ya think?  Not unless my boss tells me I have to, lady!   ;D

They may have been wasps!  Bees don't normally attack unless you virtually step on them... :-\\



They were yellowjackets-and until just two minutes ago, I didn't know that they are indeed wasps.

Glad he got them and you both are recovering from the stings.  Turns out we have 2 nests behind the mailbox (how they managed, I don't know).  You can see it/them when you open the mailbox part way, but not all the way.  We sprayed like crazy last night and will check it again today.  I've decided I like the Ortho spray better than what we have now (we ran out of the Ortho yesterday so went to the store to get more).  The Ortho reminds me of a fire extinguisher with the foam.  The stuff we have now (obviously they were out of Ortho or we would have gotten that) is more runny and doesn't aim as well.  I just don't know how we can get the nests out because the opening when you can see it is so small and we can't see how the mailbox is attached to the house.

thanks, I apreciate the thoughts very much Womble. friends and family have been supportive, & caring.  last night I started searching for pics and will continue tonight to contribute them for the memorial service.

...I called  Randy's wife today to extend sympathy from me & my family and share sorrow with her. We ended up sharing some good memories and we laughed at one of them. she said that if I could bring the boys a pizza tomorrow night, that would help. she said they like cheese and olive so I'll get em a large. my softball game is only a few blocks from their house so i can go before my game.

our friend Randy passed away this morning so sadly there was not enough time to have that special team get together that was planned on the 29th. i was glad to hear that 2 of his closest friends and teammates were with him and family in his last hours.   it's sad, he was only 54 but he lived those 54 years well. 


I'm so sorry, Mike.  I'll be keeping you and your friend's family in my thoughts.  :\'(

On amtrak on youngones iPhone. Sig just moved his seat because of a family of seven across the aisle, four hours of granny entertaining the kids without taking a breath.  Enough to give anyone a headache. Jeez, we ride business class to avoid that.  It's a 12 hour trip and they will be with us 'tip the end aaarrrrrgggghhh!!!!!  The rest of the trip was perfect.  If you go to DC the Newseum is the ab/fab  best.  We spent half a day and plan to go back.  Youngone wants the phone.  More tomorrow

I'm all shopped out!  I spent the morning in BJ's, lunched at Panera and then the afternoon in the supermarket (with a brief side trip to Staples for school supplies).  I think I'm ready for my party tomorrow.  Just brownies and a cheesecake to bake.  Oh and a huge bag of chicken wings.

My doctor doubled my blood pressure medicine, but tonight I've been feeling kinda funny, so I test my blood sugar (which was normal for me) and my blood pressure which was really low for me (97/56 and tested again at 116/66).  I'm worried it might be too much medicine.

I will test it again when hubby comes home from his friends' house.

My bedroom is pretty much done, except for the bit of clothes that I have to go through. The bathroom is finished and the kitchen is great except for the stuff I have all over the table waiting to be sent to Nasty. I also have a lot of paper shredding in my future - I can't believe how much paper mail I actually still get!

The Son - finally cleaned his bedroom!!! Only because I offered him cable in his room to which he wasexcited because he will get HBO - True Blood for him! Now as long as he keeps it clean he will continue to have cable, but if it goes back to the way it was before, I am gonna yank the cord right back out of his room! ;D

Yesterday we took a trip up the coast to Rockport.  Rockport is one of those cozy, scenic, touristy seaside towns.  It has a breakwater jetty that you can walk on, but the waves were big yesterday so the advisory was out telling you not to walk out on it because there is the danger of being swept away.  So why is it that you always have a couple of heroes who think it is cool for them to go out there with their kids.  There were a few of them with kids from about 8 to 12.  When they figured that maybe the ocean didn't cow tow to there orders they started coming back in.  One of the little girls was in flip flops, just the thing to walk out of a slippery jetty with above average waves and the tide coming in, and took a tumble that hurt.  This morning there was a news story of a family up in Maine that was less lucky, eleven of them out on the rocks were caught by a wave, their seven year old daughter wasn't able to be saved.  What makes people think that they are somehow different and that nature is there for there entertainment.  The ocean is a strange and wonderful thing, but it doesn't care who you are.  Respect it.

Okay...I know I haven't posted much in here lately, since nothing eventful had been going on in my life. Well, that all changed on Friday.

My mom had applied to work for the Census Bureau earlier this year. It's a temporary position, of course, but at least it would give her something to do. Well, this past Friday, she got the call and will spend this week receiving training! Yes, she has to travel up to Santa Maria (about 110 miles away) and will receive training this week. (I should have posted all this on Friday, when it was fresh in my mind, but in a nutshell this is what's going on.) So my mom is happy to finally be working again! (even though it is a temporary position, as I just said)
So yeah, she had to get up very early this morning and leave the house at approximately 5:30, which is why I'm up earlier than usual.

So I don't know if anyone has been following the saga of my lost pills (I've been missing them about a week and I am almost out of said medication).  EARLY this morning (after about only a hour of sleep) I was getting our trash together and taken outside so that the trash people can pick it up, when lo and behold, my envelope that had my pills was laying on the floor (in a spot I swore I checked (and hubby checked) earlier.)

Okay...I know I haven't posted much in here lately, since nothing eventful had been going on in my life. Well, that all changed on Friday.

My mom had applied to work for the Census Bureau earlier this year. It's a temporary position, of course, but at least it would give her something to do. Well, this past Friday, she got the call and will spend this week receiving training! Yes, she has to travel up to Santa Maria (about 110 miles away) and will receive training this week. (I should have posted all this on Friday, when it was fresh in my mind, but in a nutshell this is what's going on.) So my mom is happy to finally be working again! (even though it is a temporary position, as I just said)
So yeah, she had to get up very early this morning and leave the house at approximately 5:30, which is why I'm up earlier than usual.


Congratulations to your mother!  I hope everything works out great!   :)

we did go to Mystic seaport yesterday.  I didn't see the Amistad exhibition, but we didn't get round everything so it probably is still there.  They certainly mentioned something about the Amistad when we were on the steamer.

day at home/local today.  Just done a trip to the waste station to get rid of everything from the party (they are closed Sundays and Mondays).  Will probably go to the local museum this afternoon.

At the beginninng of the month, I was very happy because I got a new Key Worker (Siobhan) and two new link Workers (Annetta and Lauren). My parents came down from Newport to see me in London for my progress meeting. I then went on holiday for 10 days to stay at my family home for two nights, spent six nights in Pembrokeshire and stayed with my parents for another two nights before returning to London.

After my holiday, I gradually began to feel low while Siobhan is in Ireland. I also found myself getting more frustrated around my housemates and certain support staff.

So far, the mouse is working ok today (knock on wood)-it just the damn computer that is acting up. To be fair, I'm running a few scans at the same time. But lately, this computer has been acting up-running slow. I can't tell ya how many times I restart this thing-almost daily. I know, I know, I wanted a new computer for a long time-I finally have one and it turns out to be a lemon. Be careful what you wish for. It will be several years before I can talk Carlos into getting another one. I love him dearly but the guy is a bit of a tightwad.

Oh, if I do new another mouse, I think we have an extra one around here someplace.

That has been happening to me!  I have had to call tech services twice in the past month, they haven't found anything wrong, and I am beginning to think it is something glitching in Firefox.  Whenever it happens I end up having to re-install the verizon dsl software., then everything is fine.

make sure she locks her car we get reports for more vehicles stolen from Santa Maria than anywhere else in the county combined.

It was a rental car, so, not to worry. ;) And I'm pretty sure she kept it locked. Thanks for the stat though.



Congratulations to your mother!  I hope everything works out great!   :)

Spent yesterday in Boston.  Went to the Old State House, Quincy Market for lunch, Fanueil (sp?) Hall  and watched a yo yoing street performer.  Then Dai took his mum across to the airport and I took my dad and the children to the Aquarium.  We went across to the airport by water taxi and ate dinner at the airport until it was time for my dad to go to his gate.

I've enjoyed having them visiting but I'm also glad to have the house back!

Went by quickly! :o However it is still technically summer for 3 more weeks, as Autumnal Equinox is on Sept. 22nd or 23rd (it varies from year to year)...but the feel of things is rather fall-like, even though the hot weather does tend to continue into October.

no I hate it when people lock threads because the month is over.... just because its no longer august doesn't mean we don't have something to say about august... like... I forgot to wish my friend Happy Birthday on August 18th *the day after my dad's b-day* because I was having so much fun with my parents.

And- I spent the last day of August at the DMV (for an hour and 15 minutes..... oddly enough- that's how I spent the first day of sept also)

Sounds like my dad. When he had trouble, he would just say, "Hey." Not even "Hey, you", just "Hey."
