    TGIF - Hooray for Friday chat!

    Yay for the weekend! 

    Jackie, I am jealous of you getting Trader Joe's.

    Finally.

    That is all.

    In regards to directions from yesterday's chat.... I get confused even when I do know which way is north/south.  South of what?  North of what?  You can be on N Main and heading south, when do you know you've hit S Main?  Anyway, I can totally see that having been me asking those same questions LOL.

    Cita, once I packed to go on a trip to see our family and totally didn't pack DH any shirts.  Try finding regular plain tshirts in November in the north.  Heaven forbid he wear anything long sleeve.  I still haven't lived that down but now he is in charge of packing his own clothes.

     Mindy, I often want to hit "like" as well :)

     Yay for Friday!

    I don't even know my right from my left, let alone north from south.

     Courtney thank you for the chuckle

    Tina your spammer friend has been taken care of (insert evil laugh)

    So 36 hrs after stopping the flagyl the Beast is back to soft serve Crying  But turbocharged, so do I see if it firms up on its own for a few days or is that risking bringing on the colitis again. argh

    The resident fox population is going to make me a fur hunter.  B was 'hot' the entire walk and just about an 1/8 of a mile from home he was nuts, turns out a fox was hunting a rabbit about 4 ft from the road surface on tightly mowed grass, so highly visible except in a slight depression.  So I knew the boy was lit up but couldn't see what it was until we were directly level with it - Bugsy took off, the fox grabbed the rabbit and took off and I still have all fingers and limbs attached.  Complete an utter insanity for about 10 minutes or so. Fox was long gone through that yard to some woods for cover but the beast was impossible to divert.  Had to stand exceptionally still, hand to his collar and wait it out. 

    The fox are way too present now and more and more people are complaining and getting concerned. While at first I defended their right to be here I am now over it.  Occasional sightings sure but daily close calls (talking to other walkers pretty much everyone has had close contact) are unacceptable.

    Plumber is installing the faucets and DH is installing a mirror and then we should be able to move into that bathroom Big Smile

     

    called the vet putting him back on the flagyl Sad

    Karen -- it's probably not killed the clostridium yet.  Keep up with the probiotics.  Luna's been LOVING this probiotic thing b/c it means she gets "something" when I leave for work and late in the evening.  LOL  greedy stinker!

    Directions?  Someone PUH-LEEESE just tell me to go right or left.  "Go to the Mobile station and go left." -- I can do that

    Deb - 'left' is when you have to sit and wait for the light to change so you can cross in front of all the rest of the traffic -- 'right' is when you can slide around the corner after a brief stop -- [running away before the woman hits me with the 2X4]

    Seriously -- I will go the "long way" to get somewhere downtown JUST so I can do it in all right-hand turns so I don't have to wait an eternity for the stupid lights.  LOL

    But don't tell me to go 'east on ___ street' -- I'll wind up in the Bahamas!

    Generally, there is an east/west road that is the break point between a road labeled north or south (and would be the same for an east or west road).  As Joyce commented though, it can be totally screwed up when there is a natural water source involved and the roads follow the water.

    This concludes your geography lesson for the day. Stick out tongue 

    Karen, thanks for de-spamming us!  Scary about the foxes coming closer more frequently, but kind of a cool story about it grabbing its breakfast before running off.  And...why is Bugsy back on flagyl?  Poor guy.

    ETA: oops, I see now why he is back on flagyl.  Good thoughts for him to get over this crap (no pun intended) already.

    Meg ((hugs))  there is prolly some old lady like me that is wanting to retire once the first week is over there may be lots of openingsBig Smile

    Bugsy, please get to feeling better very soon!   Cita, lol, coming from a semi senile old lady that was funny!!!!!

    Hope everyone has a good day!

    Courtney, you remembered the important things (Rascal's stuff). lol

    Tina, I was lost downtown many years ago but I did have one of the early gigantic mobile phones.  I called a friend who was very familiar with downtown and told him where I was and where I wanted to be.  He told me to go South on such and such street.  It was high noon and therefore I had no idea which way was South. lol   He had to get me to describe what buildings I could see.  I'm very directionally challenged. 

    Karen, the fox problem in your area would concern me too.  I'm glad you've still got all your fingers and kept Bugsy under control.  Too much excitement for early morning.  Sorry that he's got to go back on the Flagyl but maybe this second round will be the last.   I thought I was going to move into your bathroom?  Darn, I guess I'll unpack my bags. lol  Yay, for seeing the end of this project.

    I was talking to an old friend this morning about the AKC and other doggy related issues.  She said some clubs here won't be running field events due to lack of water and many landowner's reluctance to have a bunch of people on their property with the fire danger so high.   Sure can't blame them.
    I'm sure the AKC will hate the loss of revenue.  They're bleeding money these days on the event side of things. 

    We're getting together with family tomorrow.  I suggested going to a little town North of here named Gruene.  I know it's North because the highway signs say so. lol  Anyway, there's a neat restaraunt there, right on the Guadalupe river that I love but for some strange reason they all want to eat at a Mexican food place.  I love Mexican food but there's one on every corner here, so why not eat somewhere different?  I'm sure most of them will be late, as usual.  They've changed the meet up time three times.  Oh well, not going to get my panties in a twist over it as it's not anything I'm not used to when it comes to family. lol

    edited twice for spelling and typos.  any others will have to stay. :)

    Bwahahaha!  I wish you could see our downtown.  The city planners must have designed our downtown to keep the tourists trapped to increase revenue.  lol

    • Gold Top Dog

    Rainey Day Marley sounds good to me!  Maybe if we order enough of them, we can send some rain to Texas!

     

    • Gold Top Dog

    Heck, if we have a couple of those drinks, north, south, east, or west won't matter.  Or they'll make perfect sense. Smile

    Boston with or without GPS is always fun.  If I have to drive to Jamaica Plain or West Roxbury (parts of the Boston area) to see a student teacher, I ask our secretaries to send out the highway patrol if I'm not back in 5-6 hours--'cause I"ll be looping around a rotary forever looking for a road that has either changed names but still has old signs, isn't labeled, has a new name no one has ever heard of, has changed one way direction, or just plain moved. (Well, I think it moved....) Or, I'll  drive around until I find the nearest Interstate and head toward Maine, NH or RI. That's way we have color coded subways in Boston  (the "T";) Smile  I do better in the woods.

    But don't tell me to go 'east on ___ street' -- I'll wind up in the Bahamas!

     

    Well now I don't see a problem with that!! *jumps in the car with Callie*

    The mail lady just drove up the driveway beeping. (that's what she does when she has a box too big for the mailbox.) I was on the phone with a mortgage consultant (as I have been for like two weeks *sigh*), so I run out with the phone attached to my ear, say thanks, go back in and toss the box on the floor. I continue talking with the lady, and Rupert starts whining, sitting there s.t.a.r.i.n.g. at the box. I realize that it was some liver treats that I has ordered a while back (one of those daily deal type websites.) 

    So now I've got to cut the box open and open the package to get Rupert his liver treats while trying to listen and compare mortgage interest rates/closing costs/terms/points/blah blah blah! Peee-yew they are stinky!
