Common Ground Coffee House #99

All right ....to show how peacable I am....I won't gripe about not getting my post in on the last thread....cut down in the middle of typin!!!!

 

Yes, I got the same nasty thing! I was just in the middle of responding to Archie, and offering him a cuppa rosie lee...............there ought to be a law,,,,:laugh:

Cheers,

Jim

 

OK, rosie lee...is that allowed in the coffee house,....or am I gonna have to report ya??!!

 

Happy 4th in case I don't make it back in here for coffee



And Happy Birthday to this great nation,



God Bless All

 

Ok, I finally got someone to tell me a story and now it's on the old thread! And I was so happy! If anyone missed it, go back and read Bear's account on the old thread of a Christmas party.

We'll just have to have a new story to make up for this sad lack of a story on the thread.

Any volunteers?

 

Sorry, not much good at stories....less it's a fish tale!! So I guess I could TELL a TALE of a fish TAIL!

 

Good morning. Everyone's getting ready for church. We're actually gonna make it this week. LOL Something keeps happening every Saturday to stop us from going Sunday, so I'm gonna feel like a stranger!
The first Saturday someone was sick.
The next one, I was in the ER Sat night for my heart.
The next one, my daughter was there with blood poisoning.

Don't think we got off scot-free yesterday either though. Middle daughter broke her pinky. But...we're going. And we didn't have to go to the ER for that one! WHOO HOO! Our Saturdays are improving, slowly but surely. We've progressed from death threats to broken bones. Dare I assume that by next Saturday, we'll have progressed so far that it'll just be a deep gash for one of us? Eventually, we'll be down to a stubbed toe, and then...should I even say this out loud? Mere scratches!

 

OR....a paper cut....OUCH..those hurt worse than anyting. Actually my hands & arms stay scratched up....I'm tuff!! BH made me that way!!
Well just got the good news that jerry is gonna be home all week waiting to start another job...ever feel like yur being used?? Guess I'll stay gone a lot this week.

 

This ain't happened in awhile...everyone must be tuckered out.
OK...now this is a Geener moment,.....I have a small touchlamp I use in here instead of the overhead. 3 settings, 1 touch low, touch again medium, & again for brightest. Well its going thru all the settings all by itself!! Glad I don't believe in ghosts!! And BH isn't in here...really strange. Guess it'll give me something to figure out tomorrow. Rite now I'm going to bed to fore this computer starts typin it's own messages!!!

 

LOL! I had that happen just the other night! The ceiling light in the living room...it's not a touch one, but you can turn it on by switch, and use a remote control to make it dimmer or brighter. Well, I turned on the switch, and the thing kept going brighter and brighter then dimmer and dimmer, up and down. Turned it off, tried again, same thing. I figured "THAT IS JUST GREAT!"

Turns out the tv remote was on top of the one for the light, right on top of the part that controlled the dimmer part of it. (the other buttons are for the fan settings)

So, perhaps you have something putting pressure on it?

I slept a few hours, now ready to go back. I had thought I was just really worn out from school, and felt better after a bit of the summer break, but today this tiredness and sick feeling is hitting me full force again. I'm calling the doctor tomorrow, on top of the numb face thing it's all flipping me out.
This morning I forgot the Pledge of Allegiance. Not just a temporary brain lapse. It was said in the morning, and I didn't know it. I knew the first line. (I don't say it anymore, but that's another story) Anyhow, I spent all the way home trying to think of what it was. Tried to quit thinking about it later, but spent all day going back and trying to remember it, couldn't get past the first line. Later tonight I remembered the word "republic" was in it. I finally gave up and just looked it up on the internet again. Read it, tried to repeat it in my mind, wasn't happening. I had to sit here and memorize it again. It was just gone.

Not the first time I couldn't remember something, by far, but the first time I lost something so totally engrained like that. Very weird! I hope it doesn't start happening with stuff I want to remember about my kids.

 

Mornin, yep...already 73 here supposed to be 96 brfore the day is over. Just took Agee to work & will proably lay back down for a couple of hours. Supposed to ride with the fella I'll be replacing to get an idea of what my route will be like. Need to finish the A/C's today too so I can get the junk out of the back yard. I just mowed two days ago & I can tell that the grass has already grown, too bad my hair won't grow like that any more. Actually I keep it buzzed anyway, espically in this heat. Well gonna run, put BH up, & snooze a little longer.

 

Morning all:

It's 95 degrees here with a heat index of 106. It's been like this all weekend! We're supposed to get up to 100 today. Vivian and I got out in the garage on Sat morning and fixed the riding mower and I mowed most of the yard. She mowed the rest and did most of the weed-whacking and the little bit of push mowing. By the time I got off of the mower, I was as red as a lobster on my face and neck, the upper part of my arms and even my hands. Viv was too! I'm just now starting to peel a little. Anyhow, we got the lawn done and it looks wonderful! The neighbors lawns are all in need of a mow, and I think that some will do it tomorrow.

Other than that, not much else is going on here in Bell Buckle. We're just waiting to see how long Viv will work today. We've got a Boston butt, and we want to smoke it tonight and make bbq tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be the first anniversary of my mother in laws passing away. It's been hard on Viv yesterday and today. She's talked to both of her sisters this weekend, and she usually only talks to the one. Her younger sister is supposed to be going out tomorrow to put flowers on the grave. My dad's buried not too far from Viv's mom, just a few rows down.

Well, ya'll stay cool..It's a hot one out there!

Sue, hope you're doing better. Gina...take care of yourself, girl!

 

Hot here too.

I got my hair highlighted this morning :thumbs:

I also finally got the engagement and rehearsal dinner pix up. There are soooo many pix. I've got about 800 to go through for the wedding.

Yep...hot here too! Says 90...but I think its lyin'! Just got back from my ride. It covers a broader area than I thought but that's all right.
Jerry is leavin back out after all, JB Hunt called & had to change his orientation to later in the month so he said he'll go back on the road for a couple of weeks.
Had to turn on both a/c's to help this pitiful central unit out. I came home & it was almost 80 in here. But with Agee pullin a double at least it'll be cool when she gets home.
Check back later, gotta go check the livestock!!

 

I know it's hot out there. I've seen the sweat drenched techs come in to check-in. I've been inside all day and refuse to go out.

We are thinking about buying a window unit to help our central unit. It has been 77-78 degrees in the late afternoon. Some folks like it that way, but not me.
