One itsy bitsy button

Makes the difference between dirty, dry clothes and wet, clean clothes.

Just push it.

    I know an old lady who is always forgetting to push that button.

    Thanks. I am getting a good test right now! Although I do not know yet what is causing it, I have had pressure in my left estautian tube for over 3 weeks now. It causes a constant LOUD hissing in that ear. It is truly driving me crazy! Meanwhile, the wheels of the medical profession move slowly... First, I tried 10 days of antibiotics, and it is not bacterial. Now, I am on 9 days of a steroid to reduce inflammation. I am at day 5 and no change... I have already called the ENT to get an appointment, which is May 3rd, but can be moved up when my primary calls them or if they have a cancellation. I am calling my primary on Monday (if nothing changes) to let them know I want to get moving on resolving this... So, a prayer would be appreciated. Meanwhile, I am very excited to see your children moving on to new stages of their lives. They seem to be doing very well. I wish we could see them more often in person!

    I have wondered why I have not had a balance issue. All I know is that the doctor says my ear drum looks sucked in and, like I said, the LOUD hissing! I watch TV down at grammy's because I have to have it so loud to hear... Very bothersome! I am still going to call my primary today to see what they say...

    :( One week from today is the appointment when I will (I guess) get the tubes. Meanwhile, I have taken the flonase and claritin-d for a week. It feels like I have the clearest sinuses in the universe! The only thing that seems off is occassionally I will have a nagging cough. But the cicadas? They are chirping away at full chirp!

Sometimes a life of crime does NOT pay

Were those 25 year old jumper cables (new, worth about $10) and that loose change amounting to less than $2 worth all the work you did prying and prying and prying at the door to open it and finally breaking the window out of his car???

Oh, and by the way, you left behind your 'tools of the trade' - your screwdriver. You probably needed that at the next house you went to. But alas, it was still sitting on the seat of his car when he found your handiwork this morning.

$12 reward for your troubles. $1200 damage to the car, but hey, you don't have to pay for that. But you DID lose your screwdriver.

Aggravating, yet amusing.

I can hear them now, rummaging through the car.

Did you find anything?
Nah, did you?
NO! But these jumper cables, they are only 20-25 years old, maybe they are worth something!!
Stupid!! They ain't worth nothin' Hey wait! I found money! Give me a minute to count it ... 10 .... 25 .... 50 .... hey - almost $2!!!
Let's go - and grab those jumper cables!!!

Next house
Gimme the screwdriver!
What? I told YOU to get it!
Stupid! YOU broke the window - what'd you do? Leave it behind? NOW what we gonna do - pry this door open with our fingernails? Break the window with our hand?? Just can't get good help these days!!!!!

Blue Heron strikes back

Foiled in his first attempt at burglary, he was successful in his second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh attempts.

A neighbor is missing 6 large beautiful fish. They disappeared into thin air. In the belly of the heron, presumably.

Obviously, I'm not State Farm. Or a good neighbor. Hey, I'm not even all there.

    :-D

    Happy heron...not so happy fishies.

You can't teach an old dog new tricks

or an hour earlier wake up time either.

DST is a conspiracy led by morning people to persecute night owls.

Why can't they let sleeping dogs lie ... in peace and quiet???

You know that woman, the one worth far more than jewels? THEY (you know, the other people - the morning people) always quote that she "rises early while it is still night," but do they not notice her lamp did not go out at night also?

By the time this old dog acclimates, it will be time to change.

  • schmidtkins
    I like how you think! (sympathetic night owl)

    I would gladly be a morning lark, which is my natural sleep setting, but I am forced by my family to be a night owl. Therefore, I'm like the Proverbs 31 woman, but without her sunny disposition.

    I have been both a lark and an owl in my lifetime, which proves I am...
    ...schizo?

    Lately I'm staying up later than I have in a long time and getting up later. This is what i don't understand: when I'm in a period like this, I feel "fuzzy" for a good while after waking, but when I'm in a get-up-early phase, I don't. Why is that?
