Continued vibes for DR GINNY & DH RICHARD.

Yes $50 per sounds a bit pricey for a Boo-Fay.

Lawn mowing, building, roofing, etc cannot start until 8 a.m. in my town....so at least we get an extra hour compared to MR BK.

As soon as I can this morning, I will head to the post office and send this resignation letter.

I received a certified letter yesterday. The website to request redelivery doesn't work. I then called for it, spent a lot of time giving my information to an automated system only to be then told redelivery doesn't exist and to hold for a person. 10 minutes later I gave up so we could go for a walk.

At work, we're able to have personal things delivered without any trouble because it doesn't cost the library anything, but before I realized that, I would, of course, have things delivered to my apartment. Sometimes, the UPS delivery person would leave a note saying that I wasn't home and they would be back tomorrow, but I wouldn't be home then, either. It used to be that if I wanted to have UPS redeliver it to another place, like my work, it would be free. I could just go on-line and put in the tracking information and new address. Now (or at least as of several years ago), it costs $4.00 to redeliver to another address! But if you want it held at the UPS delivery hub, that's free. VERY fortunately, the UPS delivery hub is just two blocks away from where I work. But since we can have personal packages delivered to work, it's not a problem.

My neighbor is going with me to pick it up. I enjoy combining walks with errands. I just hope it is a little envelope and I can cram in my back pocket.

That is convenient DR George. It doesn't help if you haven't a clue something is to be delivered

Absolutely. It helps so very much. More than you know (more than you know).

Today is Friday in Oakland, CA.

Today is also our Silent Auction and our Nachos Sale.

I personally donated a bunch of kitchen stuff to this here silent auction.

I find myself looking forward to retiring by this time next year and facing a move across country.

I needed to lighten my load..considerably.

I'm up, I'm up - I was up at about four-thirty - something from last night really didn't agree with me and I suspect it was a combo platter of the rich carbonara and a piece of pizza that had a lot of red sauce. I'm guessing my red sauce days are done. I coughed a lot, trashed my voice certainly, and finally fell back asleep around seven so maybe five or six hours of sleep.

bk · « **Reply #42 on:** October 28, 2016, 11:12:23 AM »

That's weird - I kept hitting post and nothing posted so I closed the page, came back and there's the post.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #43 on:** October 28, 2016, 11:50:39 AM »

So the monstrosity that is for sale - is that the place where the lady of house used to sunbathe topless?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #44 on:** October 28, 2016, 11:57:52 AM »

I bought a plate of nachos at the Nachos Sale.

It tasted very good.

Now my stomach is complaining vociferously.

And on a Friday, too.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #45 on:** October 28, 2016, 12:00:22 PM »

This has not been the pleasantest day of the week for me.

No, it has not.

Still, last night I got a terrific night of sleep.

When I was just about ready to leave the house this morning, I was
plagued with a bout of disruptive something or other. It went on for
a while until my dosage of Pepto took hold.

I do hope I haven't come down with something.

And is anyone a bit over hearing Heidi Klum, on Project Runway, talk about how much she likes "poopy pants" (a "fit" that looks like someone took a poop in the seat of their pants)?

There was a barber and his wife,
And she was beautiful.
A foolish barber and his wife.
She was his reason and his life,
And she was beautiful,
And she was virtuous,
And he was... naive.

When you say how much she likes that look, do you mean that she doesn't like the look at all, or that she really likes the look?

No, that couple still live next door to the north. The monstrosity, that was JUST finished about eight weeks ago is the next house to the east of me and the new teardown is the house next to that to the north - that house actually shares a fence with the couple to the north of me.

Listening to some interesting Japanese classical music by Akira Ifukube, who, of course, was one of the top Japanese film composers - his most well known music is many of the Godzilla films, including the very first one. In fact, listening to a classical piece from the 40s, towards the end suddenly we hear the famous Godzilla march from the first film. The classical pieces are very much in the style of his film scores - he's pretty great.

My first real dental problem. My gum didn't heal properly after the crown I had done last year.

Thanks to Protonix I can eat red sauce plus many other foods.
