4 April

Re: 4 April

Greetings friends,

Had another nice weather day but rain is arriving for the weekend, that’s OK with me.
Spent another afternoon accompanying YB to a medical appt, I think that’s all for a while. Just had to search for a new vet as ours suddenly decided to close. I was lucky to get an appt for the dog for the 26th with a new vet.

PQ, so sorry you’re dealing with so much BS at work
Taking care of yourself is top priority now!! We can’t do anything about the lockdowns, just behave & do as instructed. Hope you really didn’t get a lot of snow, that’s not needed at this point.

Cyn, will you be staying in the same general area? How rough to keep picking up & moving along with everything else. Wish we could help :hug:
We will be with you bin spirit, know that!

Pauly, Until the majority of the country is vaccinated I am not going near any crowds. I’m not stupid & I can certainly wait until it’s safer.
I am pleased about the # of people getting vaccinated though. Here in PA anyone 16 & over can from April 19 forward. There have been reports of kids spreading the virus in schools lately, a lot of people won’t let their kids ride the school bus because of the closed in, tight seating. We need to stay vigilant & help suffocate this virus. My youngest grandkids are both 10 now, no more cute little kid stuff, haha!
The oldest is 12 & he’s already an inch taller than me. I told him I can still kick his butt if I have to haha!

Mick, you certainly have your work cut out for you! Watch. Your back!!!!!
When we leave here to go to the Delaware or Maryland beaches we have about the same distance to drive. It’s nice to be away but not too far.
I have 2 self-cleaning ovens in my kitchen so I just need to clean the cooktop once in a while - that’s enough for lazy me.

Hello to Det, Sam & Pie.

Have a nice night all!

MAE ALL...

Lav....sorry I didn't get a chance to post earlier but I'm here now. It was newsletter deadline today and it was a pain in the a$$. Someone would submit an article, I'd forward to my publisher and then they'd send an ooops I made a mistake and send an updated version. Happened 4 times! It's hard enough formatting the thing without having to change it all the time. And of course the program coordinator never did send her article in. Managed to get the Racquet Club website up and running again so that's off my plate. We had a nice weather day here as well, not that I was able to take advantage of it. LOL Also getting rain/snow tomorrow. Nothing's sticking around so that's ok. Everybody has gone nuts over the new lockdown and are defying the orders. I can't believe how stupid some people can be. I have upped my game and staying home as much as possible. If I go out I stay away from everyone. Glad you were able to get an appointment with a new vet I'm sure that took a load of your mind.

TG...I can't believe the amount of packing/moving/repacking you've had to go through. I thought you were heading west and I'm sure you'll be glad when you finally get in the car and head out. I'm so impressed with your positive attitude through out everything. You stay safe as well.

Pauly...I was shocked to hear about those states fully opening up and eliminating the mask requirements. Things are getting scary here with the positive cases all variants. I'll be glad when I get my vaccine and until then I'm hiding out at home.

Mick...I hope that you're just exhausted with all that work and that you haven't thrown your back out or anything. I bet you guys can hardly wait for your getaway on Monday.

Thinking of the rest of the gang. I have to shut this computer off, my eyes are killing me. LOL Have a good night all....:smile:PPQP

Re: 4 April

MAE ALL...

Mick...glad you took precautions with your back, too bad you didn't think of your noggin! LOL That was a lot of work, it looks great. Hope that helps with the flooding.

I have been spending the day watching oldie but goodie movies on a TV channel that is now on free preview. Got my first proof back for the newsletter and was told not to look at it until Monday, sounds good to me. Hope you're all having a great Saturday....:smile:PPQP

Re: 4 April

Mae all,

Thanks so much for your patience about me popping in and out... packing, sending boxes, repacking, taking those to storage... the drill. I can't put a topper on this car, so have to send ahead much more stuff than normally, and am worried about what will fit... so am sending and storage-ing as much as possible. I wa heartened to see that my car holds more than I thought it would.. the cargo is smaller than my other car, but I still got a lot in, so good news there. I will pack the car up soon, just to see what fits... I do not need any surprises on the day I depart... I think I may have to move from the motel where I currently am... I originally told the owner two weeks, and it has been nearly three, and my room is the only dog friendly one, so he is losing out on full fare people... so maybe I will leave for a friend's house this upcoming week. We are entering the sixth week that the docs have been in the hands of the county, so hopefully I will have docs by the end of next week... who knows. Just very very tired at this point, but will perk up soon... love to all ...

Pauly, you are smart to keep protecting yourself... I will be headed out to NV soon, and I will be vigilant too...

Lav, yes, rain would be okay with me... it has been plenty dry here too.

PPQ, so glad you are kicking back for the weekend.

Mick, totally awesome. What a major accomplishment... so glad you have a holiday now... great pics!

Hello to Det and Sam and all ... sending light and health...

Re: 4 April

Evening friends,

Ended up having an unplanned busy day. My younger grandson is here for the weekend. I went & picked up the older one who was left home alone to care for animals this weekend while one parent is at work & the other sitting at her Dad’s house in NJ. I thought the kid would appreciate a good meal & some company, glad I did that.
We had a ton of rain overnight that messed up some of my new mulched garden beds but I fixed it with a broom, haha. Today was a mix of clouds & sun, pretty mild.

Mick, your garden work is lovely & I hope you are resting & healing at this point. Take care of that head, wear a hat dude

PQ, isn’t it amazing how some people just seem to. Never be able to make deadlines? Why do they get paid a full salary if they can’t produce? Guess I’m getting too old & cranky for that nonsense anymore, haha. Hope your weekend is relaxing & snow free.

Cyn, my head spins just thinking about all you are doing. Still wishing we could lend a hand somehow.
Getting that legal done will be a big relief I’m sure, hope it’s done soon :hug:

Hello to Det, Pauly, Sam & Pie. Hope everyone is well.

Have a night night all!

A country preacher was walking the backroads near his church. He became thirsty so decided to stop at a little cottage and ask for something to drink. The lady of the house invited him in and in addition to something to drink, she served him a bowl of soup by the fire. There was a small pig running around the kitchen. The pig was constantly running up to the visitor and giving him a great deal of attention.

The visiting pastor commented that he had never seen a pig this friendly.

The housewife replied: "Ah, he's not that friendly. That's his bowl you're using."


Father: Why don't you get yourself a job?
Son: Why?

Father: So you could earn some money.
Son: Why?

Father: So you could put some money in a bank and earn interest.
Son: Why?

Father: So that when you're old you can use the money in your bank account .....and you would never have to work again.

Son: I'm not working now.


A little old lady is walking down the street, dragging two plastic garbage bags with her, one in each hand. There's a hole in one of the bags, and every once in a while a $20 bill comes flying out of it onto the pavement. Noticing this, a policeman stops her.

"Ma'am, there are $20 bills falling out of that bag."

"Damn!" says the little old lady, "I'd better go back and see if I can gather up some of them. Thanks!"

"Well, now, not so fast," says the cop. "Where did you get that money? Did you steal it?"

"Oh, no," says the little old lady. "You see, my yard backs up to the parking lot of the football stadium. Each time there's a game, a lot of fans come and pee in the bushes, right into my flower beds! So, I stand behind the bushes with a big hedge clipper and each time some guy sticks his dick through the bushes, I say; '$20 or off it comes!'"

"Hey not a bad idea!" laughs the cop. "Ok, good luck! By the way, what's in the other bag?"

"Well," says the little old lady, "not all of them pay up."

Clouds & rain have gone so now we have a nice breezy sunshine to finish out the day.
All kids have returned home so now it’s just us old folks & the animals
