Building an ark yet, 2long?

Spring has sprung with a vengance here. I even had to mow the lawn over the weekend.

But spring skiing is outstanding.

I put up tents in the back for the kids yesterday. They got gloriously dirty and smelly!

Penny had folks out with telescopes the other night, 2Long. She saw Saturn through a scope for the first time and was -very- happy about it. She's talking about doing it monthly during the warm months. Maybe you can get in on the action if you ask nicely.... And go to the wilds of western WI, that is.

But if you do that, then you can also go have beer with GC, and that's a good thing.

Hey Weaver, I read that thing about Rev. Dan ____ that you posted. What's up with that?

J,

I don't know, someone just called my house looking for him and that is how they asked for him. I was in a state of shock hearing them call him by that title so I all I said was he is not a Rev. and he doesn't live here...they said thank you and hung up.

I haven't seen him and no one else in my town (to my knowledge) has either since last summer.

He was at one time part of a Christian's men group and was raised Southern Babtist, so he could pull a scam...

He still doesn't have clear title to the island property though, he would have to at some time go through legal chanels to have me removed if he were to ever mortgage or sell it...but the title company can't locate him, and I didn't push it. A realator friend of mine looked up the title work on the property for me and said when a search is done it will show up that the title company screwed up when they didn't have me sign a quit claim deed. It's a mess for sure... and I suppose someday we will end up in court.

On another topic (which is far more interesting to me) you said something about the universal connectness of the universe...and yes, that is exactly it, I think for me. I am learning through (ACIM) that we are all not only connected that we are the sonship, the one and only metaphorical son of God...fragmented only through our bodies ( and kept separate by our egos).

...well it's metaphysical in philosophy and very spiritual.

It's so cool to me, to finally have it in words that I can relate to and think about.

2long,

Recovered wife, KY is our very own KY Yellow aka jelly queen...you know the one who lives down under from me, below the big Mac.
(to answer your question posted on another thread)

That was one cool post of hers, I must say. On the loud side, but sometimes loud's all people hear.

I read Mortarman's update post, but it's not actually an update, just a notification about his new software that some people are selling. I couldn't figure out whether that's actually allowed here or not. I thought it wasn't? Well, it'll get sorted out.

HoFS comes into town late tonight. I've had a busy morning with DD -- we watched Winnie the Pooh's Grand Adventure, and then we got dressed, and then we went to the park and the other park and Starbucks and the post office. Then we came home and went next door for some crazy play, then we came home so she could change clothes and go to the bathroom, and then she headed for NJ with my ex and I headed for work. I have 44 minutes until a meeting for the kickoff of a new phase of the policy development I'm doing. I'm waiting for the copier right now.

It's a good thing I've been doing this for three years, otherwise I'd think I'm insane. I'm pretty sure there's no yogurt on any of the papers.... but I'm not positive.

I heard a commercial on TV about tax preparers and getting audited by a tax preparer who's also a stay-at-home dad. Pretty funny.... pretty true. But I'm really glad that more and more people's kids are that integrated into their lives nonetheless.

My tulips are gorgeous this year. The daffodils are lousy. I guess I'll have to lift them and replant them. But the tulips, good lord a-mighty, they're fantastic! I never thought the natrualizing ones that Dutch Gardens came out with would really work, but this is the third year and they're better than they were last year. It's very cool to do so little work for so much reward.

Now I have 14 minutes until my meeting starts. My copying is done and I have time to go to the bathroom and get quiet in my soul. This is a very good thing.

Someday, when all is complete, I'll post a link to some of the stuff I do. A zillion pages of the most boring policy ever. Pays the mortgage, though!

J - send me a picture of your tulips (2lips for 2long - hehe). I can't grow them here...it's too hot (2hot). The only almost similar plant (but not really) that I can get going are lilies. I love 2lips....sooooo much! Daffodils are pretty, but all off the different 2lips are amazing 2 me.

I love my new job. Not boring at all. I get 2 learn about karst surveys and cultural surveys and endangered species surveys.....It's a good job if you like being around a bunch of dirty people...hehe!

- Kimmy

Karst

Are you a spelunker?

I can spend days in karst.

2lips - reminds me of a joke.

What's better than roses on your piano?

I wish. I work with some tho.....I love all this stuff!

That joke....it's gonna be dirty, right? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I'll leave it to your imagination.

In that case, it's pretty filthy.

hehe, that's what I figured.



"I wish. I work with some tho....."

You ought to beg to go with them on an easy exploration some time. You will love it. Unless you are claustrophobic. I've gotten W to go several times and she loves it too.

Are there many caves in your area?

Not many near here but I run back home and burrow in with friends from college whenever I can.

I’m planning on taking up cave diving one of these days.

I know I'd love it. I dig caves (pun intended).

Not claustrophobic at all. I have the opposite problem....BIG scares me. First time I saw the ocean I about peed my pants....it's that whole, there's not a shore on the other side thing.

There are tons of caves in central Texas. Can't swing a cat without hitting a hobbit hole.

agoraphobia...

I have wwaphobia and omaphopbia

OHHH! You're scared of grandmas?

LMAO!

Tried doing a search on it, but got nuttin!

WW aphobia

OM aphobia

sheesh.

And if you knew my grandma you would be afriad too.

Sorry. We were discussing caving....I was in a "happy" place...not an A-mode of thinking.

My grandma cusses like a sailor and tells EXACTLY what is on her mind...yours?

Flaming redhead Irish Catholic.

Ran everything with an iron fist. Literally chased my mom out of the house first time dad took her home.

Poor grandpa was long whipped into a mere puppet. I noticed even when I was child.

She outlived several husbands.

And she hated all women. My mom especially. I think it's one of the reasons my mom became an alcoholic.

She's dead now (died somewhere around 100). But I think she still haunts my mom.


Time for me to go to a meeting. Dang job gets in the way of everything.

With prayers,

PS: Sorry about changing the subject like that.
