I never saw a purple cow
I never hope to see one
But I can tell you anyhow
I'd rather see than be one
Isn't it amusing when someone posts something specifically so it will show up on your news feed and you can read it?
We had 4 inches of rain in the storm last night! I intentionally avoided going to the basement last night and slept instead. This morning I went down there and the floor is damp and I can see where the water came through but found it's way to the drain. So, I avoided bailing water. I'll get out the big fan and get it going in a few minutes. Water hasn't come in since we had a really heavy rain a few years ago. Luckily I put down carpet squares and didn't recarpet. it won't be hard to clean up

How can someone be sure you will see it on your newsfeed unless they tag you? They can post something wanting you to see it. But I don't go through all of the posts in my newsfeed and I can't imagine that most people do.
Sunday.
I used to like movies in the 1950's when military men were have big meetings in the Pentagon and out the window one could see the Washington Monument or the Capital Building....even though they are MILES apart......or vice versa.....

Still, a lousy way to begin your vacation week.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DR vixmom, you need mega Health and Rest vibes! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
yeah I I know I'm a cranky old lady
I would be very ill. I love the flavor of lamb, but I have a very bad reaction. So bad, that if I had been on the tarmac, they would regret me not using the bathroom.
This will be the first Father's Day without one. But I am flying up to Montreal to spend time with my Mother and family. I will be there for a week.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, EVERYONE!!!! :)

We had a sell out +2 audience and a fine show with of course some technical issues, but it was much fun.
Hello, everyone.
Thanks for all the nice comments about my new car. I thought of a better way to post the photos, but I'm sure you all saw enough.
APARTMENT REPAIR VIBES TO LARRY!
Thank you DR JANE and DR JEANNE.....yes and the best part is that now we all live within 35 miles of each other.....six of us in the same TOWN and three of us within a few blocks....and two of us on the same street!
I myself was pretty cavalier about getting a sleep study, until my doctor explained all the very serious consequences of untreated apnea. That scared me enough to press forward with the whole process.
I got a Father's Day text from the darling daughter. It was darling.
Thank you from the dear readers VIXMOM, FJL, SINGDAW, JANE, and GINNY - yes I am very lucky to have such a BIG close and close in proximity family. It can be annoying sometime with everybody knowing EVERYTHING....but it is also a great comfort.
DR VIXMOM....my mother will be 83 in December, and she does take very good care of herself.
elmore, I'm just curious - have you gone to the city about all your problems. What they are doing is completely illegal, especially with the bathroom. They have to fix anything that's broken, that's part and parcel of being an owner. They can't oust you from the building - I think it's time to find out what your actual rights are and then make some solid threats - perhaps via attorney.

I have a plan of attack with the super tomorrow. I'm going to threaten to call the landlord to make his job easier and ask for a repairman and somone to look at my stove since he's too busy with all the apartments on the block to finish this job. I like the super, but he is not his father-in-law in accomplishing things quickly, and i think he feels he can drag it out and walk over me. Perhaps the "helpful" phone call will put a fire under him.
I am awaiting a tap on my door from someone who wants to go looking for bats.

Yes, but at least she was home to deal with it ;)
DR Cillaliz - glad that the flooding was not more problematic. I am sure that DR Vixmom is green with envy!
I have so much to do around the house I really need to get working on that
This is a picture of my family.....taken about a year ago....my parents, my four brothers, three sisters, that mule, Old Rivers, and me.

Ok, I've put it off long enough, time to go get the fan from the garage and start drying out the basement. Fans are great when it comes to this sort of thing

I never have to dry floors, because I have so many fans!
Wow, officially we had over 6 inches of rain in Sioux City. They take the official reading at the airport which is maybe 10 miles from my house. 3.9-4.0 around my side of town

DITTO!!!!
We called Craig back after eating. As expected he passed the reading exam which means he doesn't have to take the class. He should be receiving his teaching credential from Johns Hopkins in July.
Now he waits for Human Resources to call him for a job interview in the district. That can happen up until the time the schools reopen at the end of August. He will be certified to teach Special or regular Education.

Even if she wasn't on vacation, I think she would be home on Sunday morning.

Well, some of us aren't quite as popular :)
We saw the bats. It was awesome.
