I changed the shoks on my car yesterday & wenzday & usually that kind uv chore work bugz me, but insted I had a different attitude and didnt mind all the little obstaclez. Hard to describe the difference, but I wuz thinking about you doing your remodelling work and everything here iz linked to Firefly, so naturally I'm picturing you az Mal overcoming every challenge.

Quote:Originally posted by Wishimay: I finally got my big kitchen window ripped out and replaced, as we bought and ordered it a year and a half ago...Sooooo nice to have a breeze, and I can open it one handed...I am very pleased with it. Also, remember that mower I broke? After the third place I went to, which turned out to be a mostly industrial repair place, they said they'd take a look at it and he said the carburator was extremely dirty, and that he had never seen one like mine (something about a two way going into one with a float??) Anyway, I'm back ta ridin' again, yeehaw!
Quote:Originally posted by JO753: You 2 woud be horrified if you saw my lawn. I havent mowed it this year! It turned to complete plants a few weeks ago, so its seeding itself! I didnt mow most uv it frum about september last year wen a weel assembly fell off due to rust. Hydrogenated oil iz the stuff that a group uv doctorz sued KFC about. Its basicly a cheap butter substitute. Cheap if you don't count all the bypass operationz and other health problemz cauzed by it clogging up our circulatory systemz. Its usually called transfat on packagez and in the nutrition info, but in the ingredients its called hydrogenated oil. It will almost alwayz be sum vegetable oil, soybean, canola, corn, etc., but there iz also hydrogenated lard, which you can still purchase if youre pro-level serious about clogging your arteryz. All margerine, including the supozedly healthy butter substitutes are hydrogenated oil, at least partially. A big scam that I'm surprized they can get away with iz stating 0 gramz tranz fats in bold letterz on the frunt uv sum chips such az Cheetoz, yet in the small print ingredients therez the hydrogenated oilz. Its probably a per serving rule that givez them an out.
Quote:Originally posted by Wishimay: I don't much care about the lawn most days, but my neighbors are anal-retentive about such things and if it gets over three inches they knock on my door and want to know if my mower is broke, seriously... The constant hum of mowers here in the summer makes me uneasy, I feel like I'm being invaded. Next house I get is gonna be farther away from people. Jo, from what I understand, aren't there two different kinds of transfats, one is "light" and one is "heavy" and your body needs a certain amount of one of them?? I don't know if you live in a city or not, but in towns here if your grass is over nine inches you get a citation, if three citations- the city mows it and bills you... If you don't wanna or can't get a new mower auctions are the way to go! For the price of a tank of gas you can usually get a cheap functioning one...

Quote:Originally posted by Wishimay: Jack, do you talk as fast as you type? 'Cause if I were doing an interview and you did, I'd have to stake you like a vampire, no offence... People don't wanna deal with other people's OCD or over-eagerness. If you aren't relaxed, neither are THEY. Also, maybe they just got busy and forgot. Such things happen, and can be terribly frustrating in an employment process, I know. I would wait until Monday evening and make a polite call, what do you have to loose? We had to hound a place for a couple months before they would give hubbs a job, one time... I wouldn't get too discouraged yet. And try to have a good weekend, anyways....

Quote:Originally posted by JO753: My cargo hauling suggestion wuz a kinda sorta a joke. Firefly, hauling cargo? Get it? HAHA? ha. I gess you had to be there. I used to sleep walk wen I wuz a kid. Last wun I remember wuz wen I wuz about 20. Woke up naked in the gangway next to the house! A lame end to a plezently x-rated dream. Now I just take callz without waking up. I've reportedly had detailed coherent haf owr conversationz and I remember NOTHING wen wake up later. Herez a pik uv my back yard: Tryd to get the mower running, but it woud only go for about 2 minits and konk out. Gave it back to Tony.
Quote:Originally posted by Wishimay: Oh and Jack? Hormones have a great deal to do with things like nightmares and sleepwalking. When I was a kid I used to have sleepwalking episodes about "that time o the month"...Maybe your body is telling you it's time to get laid Or at the very least, to relax a bit. Not easy to do on a job search. Have you checked out the temp places? Not great jobs I know, but a distraction from your savings going down the drain??....

Quote:Originally posted by JO753: Tony got the mower running & refuzed to accept payment! I mowed the frunt lawn fairly eazily. It iznt very big and the house shadez it, so it wuz only about 18 inchez at the tallest. The bak yard (in the pik) iz much worse. I went at it for about 45 minits and only did about 1/4 uv it. Its about 4 feet in sum areaz. A guy on a 4 weeler stopped to laff at me.
Quote:Originally posted by RionaEire: Joe, that would be scary, waking up naked outside. Jack a chara, It sounds like that sleep walking incident was unsettling for you. I'm glad it hasn't happened again, here's hoping it was a total fluke. I only sleep walked once or twice when I was a little girl, a long time ago. I talked in my sleep until my early womanhood, haven't done it in a while, when Mary stays over she always says she didn't hear me, whereas Jennifer always used to tell me what I would say. I assume you're my pal until you let me know otherwise. "A completely coherant River means writers don't deliver" KatTaya.
