Seek is comming off a long vacation spent with his W, so he is doing well. Now, if I could just catch up on my work.

YOU should get more rest - but then, life being what it is, you probably won't any time soon. Sweet dreams.

SS

"Eggs," I understand. "Beer," I understand. But "and"?

t&l, en route to Dreamland

P.S. Welcome home from your trip, SS. You picked the dickens of a time to come to California, if your weather on the coast was anything at all like ours inland! Or did you borrow NCW's dinghy-thingy and just float back to your landlocked state? And if you did, are you talking Pirate now, too? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Sorry, Kimmy--just realized. I asked. Oopsie. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I think he kidnapped some girl and is hiding her on his dinghy. Or he's planning to kidnap some girl and hide her on his dinghy, and the trip to the hygiene products aisle is just to stock up on supplies. I'm SURE we should disapprove of this! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

T&L,
It rained and/or snowed most of our trip, but we had fun anyway. The car did break down, but further north. I had a funny feeling about that before we left. We were actually in Oregon a few miles......... going over to I Five so we could go back south.

I can probably post a few pictures if you want to see the redwoods, and the ocean.

How are you - meaning you personally.

There are a lot of loose ends I don't know about. Financing, your health, overtime....... and so on.

SS

WOW!!!!!

The new center of my universe is very hirsute.

She is the first one to stumble upon the motto by which I live.

If you're not disapproving of me, I ain't trying hard enough.

WOOOPS!!!

Wrong word choice. Sorry t&l.

I meant astute.

Is it OK to edit on this thread? I am so new here. And does a wrong word choice count as a mis-spelling?

Where is the local law enforcement?

I carry a weapon.

(notice I didn't call it a gun?)

For a minute there, I thought you'd been looking at the picture of me that Neak posted awhile back, where I'm at the edge of the Nuuanu Pali on Oahu, and all my hair was standing on end. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> But then it turned out to be just a typo. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

SS, did you go on vacation before I quit my 2nd job? Can't remember. I've been working pretty much 72 hrs./wk. at my regular job since, although starting next week the overtime is going to be a lot more iffy. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> We'll have to see how it goes. At least being gone that much makes it harder for my husband to complain at/about me. I figure if he's going to criticize it he ought to have to chase it first! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Good night. The center of the universe is going very, very dark. Sorry, NC. Neak does good limericks. Let HER be clever for awhile. She'll be awake!

t&l

P.S. There are no policemen around here. We're all anarchists. It's the law.

Well, at least it didn't break down and leave you stranded in the snow for 17 days, like that Oregon family.

Yikes, they must have been hungry!

I love the limerick style,
Haven't made them for quite a long while,
But finding them here,
On the FP aisle dear,
Brought to my face a big smile.


NC, in your limerick groove,
Your word choice must really improve,
To edit's okay,
But I just have to say,
If you want me to, I'll disapprove.

SS, glad you're here on MB,
Your pictures we'd all like to see,
Vacation is fun,
But there's work to be done,
And a whole nuther year till you're free.

A-dub, we are shocked that you're tired,
Between housework and duties inspired,
If your mum were not here,
We would miss you, I fear,
And worry you'd somehow expired.

Kimmy, the snow would be grand,
When it sprinkles the harsh Texas sand,
If it weren't just so cold,
Now that winter is old,
And it's sposeta be spring in our land!

Did I forget anyone? Must get to work! Make it stop!!!! I'm thinking in limericks........................

Good Job Neak. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Believer, we stayed on the main roads, so we didn't get lost. But then, as long as we were warm, I don't think we would have cared much how long we were gone. Neither one of us wanted to come home.


As far as our trip, We were gone 10 days total.

We drove through central CA, and I notice that a lot of it is wine country. This is about halfway between SanFrancisco, and Ft Bragg CA.

I think my W liked the walks on the beach the best. Just south of Ft Bragg CA.

The redwoods were nice too. Near Crescent City Ca.

Some places there was lots of snow - this is near Mt Shasta, but the snow was wide spread. We drove through it for about 200 miles this day.

This is the shoe tree on Hwy 50 in Nevada. (The loneliest highway in america.) Not sure how it got started, but I couldn't drive past without taking this photo. People just throw the shoes up into the tree, and there they are.

I highly recommend long trips with your spouse. (meaning many days, not distance.) It takes the first two or three days to unwind and get used to not being on deadline.

SS

You live in Texas. It's probably a cannon. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

t&l

Hi T&L,
How was your nap?

So, Pirate, even if it is a peg-toe instead of a peg-leg, you still aren't anatomically correct.

I think that's a good thing. I'm not sure if the feminine hygiene products aisle can deal with anatomically-correct pirates! Ar-r-r-r-rgh! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Instant Replay:

Bummer. Here I've been calling myself OtherSusan the Stupid for all of the Sad Saga, as relayed on this thread over the past interminable months, when apparently the center of the universe is named Hairy-ette, or should be...<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> And before NCW, nobody knew. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

SS, did you go on vacation before I quit my 2nd job?
I went after, and you were getting overtime, but wondered if it would be enough.

I don't know how you work the hours you do, I have only been at work since 8:30 am Thursday morning, and I get to go home any time now. You are nuts <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

I've been working pretty much 72 hrs./wk. at my regular job since, although starting next week the overtime is going to be a lot more iffy. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> We'll have to see how it goes.

So you are still wearing your wonder woman suit? How is it fitting these days? Emotionally I mean -



At least being gone that much makes it harder for my husband to complain at/about me. I figure if he's going to criticize it he ought to have to chase it first! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I thought he had turned over a new leaf, and was getting ready to move out of state with you while having wonderful discussions on many topics daily. Where did I go wrong?

I think my software upgrade is about finished loading......... gotta go.

SS

No, I get to stay and do some security upgrades now.

Sighhhh

Like the picture - maybe because I know the wind always blows there.

I'll just turn up the music loud and open the outside door and get some air in her. Don't mind me.

Ss

Quit channeling my husband. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> Is there an echo in here? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />



I have no wonder woman suit. Just the crabby, overworked and overstressed, middle-aged woman suit, and (oddly enough) it's starting to look like there's a bit of buildup in the internal pressure somewhere at the core! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />



Wacky tobaccy? The only thing I said about him and moving was that I wouldn't be going anywhere as long he has a death grip on the status quo...which has not loosened noticeably, as far as I can see. And if I ever said we were having wonderful, multifaceted conversations, then I was the one with the wacky tobaccy!!

I've got to go and shoot my patient. If I don't get to send her home soon, I'm going to shoot myself! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
