    Chevy, lobster & oxy....add a choc coke & you are in business.

    What a sweet DH to buy lobster..so happy you are home, sounds painful but glad it wasn't worst.

    Take it easy, do you sleep in bed or a recliner ?

    LMAO--on hold, with periodic interruptions of my peace and tranquility,by brighthouse cable personnell  trying to fix my problem. On hold very long, then contacts kept referring to another line. A tech was asked to reset the password. She repeats " you want all services cancelled is that correct". Real person. Just at that, the ring tone in the topic box started playing. The one that says "I'm going to whip somebodies ass". Very appropriate

    I posted this on the Cheesed thread, but wanted to share it with you too, b/c I have on occassion talked of both my dogs here.

    ---------------------------

    Well all my dear friends here. l went on and on about my Schats and Dini. Just when I think I have them under MY control, that thought is tossed up in the air like confetti

    On the ranch road for a run. Point A is the beginning. One house on the corner. Point A goes north to point B . At point B left turn to point C. There is a potential of a cat at point A & C

    A run consists of A>B>C>B>A

    At the end of the run Shats spies a cat----tears off like a greyhound, around the corner of the house. I drive around the corner. BY this time cats -gone. Shats is walking back, spies a lawn ornament of a gray fawn. Points it. Great stance, paw up, leaning forward. Breaks point, sniffs the ear, tryng to decide what this is?

    Dini, that's all he has to see, flies over my lap without touching me, through the window. Runs up to the lawn ornament fawn and hits it with his nose. He downs the lawn ornament.

    I embarrassedly get them back in the car. So much for control.

    Friend had a pair of life sized, very realistic deer in her front yard.  One morning during rutting season she  looked outside  first thing and her buck had been in a fight, lost one side of his antlers.  You could reconstruct the  "fight" by the hoof prints.

    hi Alyson, it's about 3 a.m. here, what time is it there?

  • Alyson
    Alyson Member Posts: 3,737

    Just gone 10pm Tuesday. Usually get to bed around 10.30ish. It has been so hot and humid today I don't feel like bed yet. Might make a drink. Watching olympics.

    We need a happy medium between your hot & humid and our cold & snowy.  Just got 5" of snow with more to come later this week.

    Evidently my DD is getting heavy snow in Oakville Ontario at this moment. 

    We don't even get snow in this part fo the country.

  • badger
    badger Member Posts: 24,938

    We'd send you some if we could!  That storm probably isn't the one that just went through here, that's on the Eastern seaboard by now.  Did your DD have off work for Family Day yesterday?  And did she do anything fun in the snow?

  • Alyson
    Alyson Member Posts: 3,737

    Sorry went to bathroom and changed into nightie - much cooler.

    Yes it was Family day, her DH  took DGD to the movies because DD and DGS had a tummy bug. As I said to her, great family day. 

  • badger
    badger Member Posts: 24,938

    I never like being sick but especially so on a holiday.  At least your SIL got one of the kids out & about.  Hope your DD and DGS feel better soon!

    I took a snow day off work yesterday but many people had the day off for President's Day.  That's a made-up federal holiday.  They took Washington's birthday + Lincoln's birthday and combined them.  No mail and the banks were closed.

    Alyson Member Posts: 3,737

    DD said she thinks they made up Family day because you need a holiday in Feb.

    anyway why are you not asleep?

  • badger
    badger Member Posts: 24,938

    A Feb holiday is always nice, made up or not LOL. 

    I'm up because I'm wrestling with whether to apply for a new job.  I like where I'm at, I really like my boss, it's fairly low stress, and I make OK money.  But this other opportunity has come up.  It'd be a challenge and more $$ but lots more stress and I understand the boss is a crazy b*tch.  Can't decide...

    Good morning Enerva!

    They say a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.  What if the one bird is a chicken?

    image

    And am I the chicken because I'm thinking the extra stress isn't worth the extra money.

    Sorry but BiL called from Spain on skype so we have been chatting to him. Still watching olympics but must get to bed at some point. DH has to get up and go to work. Me, I am a lady of leisure.


    Is it still snowing where you are Enerva?

  • 2nd_time_around

    no, Badger, you're not crazy! More money would be nice BUT is it worth the extra stress to you? If you already know you'll be working for a crazy biyotch, will the new job make up for it? I know happiness is a greater factor, but only you can decide what would make you happy and what's right for you.

    Enerva, loved the photo from your window (pages back?). Taking a rest from all your beautiful needlework?

    My job was so stressful- I was head of faculty at a very large high school  and had 21 teachers under me;  that I decided there was more to life than money and retired early. It was for me the absolute best thing. I went back to school after taking time off and worked another year. So next month,after five years I will get my state pension. Badger you have to decide what you want for yourself.

    This old owl is sleepy

    Good night

    sweet dreams Aly!

    Maddy, my thoughts exactly!  There's something to be said for a secure position where I know the ropes and am a valuable asset.  Current job affords me a great deal of flexibility and I can work at home if the weather is bad.  New job would be a lot of question marks and I'd be on probation again so the crazy boss lady could fire me on a whim.  THEN where would I be?

    Alyson, that's excellent advice.  There is way more to life than money. Yes I know I have to decide for myself and I appreciate being able to bounce things off you ladies.  Good night, sleep well!

    OK off to the showers for me.  Have a good day everyone!  ♥
