(OT) A/C Still Not Repaired (long) by
jmcquown[_2_]
/*rant
I'm getting really irritated. The a/c was supposed to be repaired on
Tuesday. Then I got the call... they don't have the part in their
warehouse. Would I like to have it shipped from the factory overnight?
At my expense, of course. Please... anything to get it fixed! So the
repair...

(OT) And the vultures descend... by
jmcquown[_2_]
I had a bookmark to a video of Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean" video from
1983. Not the staged one, one he did live. It's no longer available for
viewing because, according to YouTube, it's subject to a "claim" by West
Grand Media.
Who the hell ever heard of West Grand Media? Oh wait, that's...

order boxes of food for half what it would cost at the grocery store. The

restaurants. The food is then distributed by local churches. But you...

(OT) Angel Food Ministries Part 2 by
jmcquown[_2_]
We drove over to the Lutheran church to pick up the food I from Angel Food
Ministries. I cannot believe everything I got for $30! The September
"menu" consisted of three very nice looking 8-oz. ribeye steaks; a package
of chicken breast halves; a bag of chicken thighs; four good sized pork...

(OT) Another Rant (sorry!) by
jmcquown[_2_]
Those idiots at "the club" are at it again. I finally had to cave and
become a member even though it benefits me not one whit to do so. They
prorated it so I had a minimum left to spend in dining of $99.88. So I went
there for lunch on 12/15. I had a hamburger and fries. I ate there again a...

(OT) Argiope Spider by
jmcquown[_2_]
Remember that big spider I saw by the patio door? It's an Argiope (aka
"writing spider"*). I went out back to strain the glass "pebbles" in the
solar copper fountain and put in fresh clear water. I went over to the
spigot to fill the fountain and saw another spider on the back window. So,...

(OT) Back from Guatemala & a cat mention! by

I just got back from 10 days in Guatemala. Two years ago, my church

trip there.
What an awesome trip, and what a beautiful country! The people are

(OT) Bit of Excitement Here! (Freak-out Warning) by
Magic Mood Jeep
DH & I were using an old pair of jumper cables to give our decrepit riding
mower a boost at starting - before I clamped the jumper cables on, I saw
something shiny & black *inside* the large alligator-jaw like clamp,
looked closer.
It moved!

Nearly a year after my mother's death last November and well over that since

pickup next week.
It was difficult enough to unload their closets and...

It's been a long, long past week.
They let Richard out of the hospital last Weds. or Thurs. (I'm losing
track of time here). He did not feel ready to leave, but they felt it
was best for him to go home, and then return to work part-time this
week. They feel he needs some structure. They also...

(OT) Credit Cards by

I was on the phone arguing with Chase Bank this morning. That's the credit
card I was using to pay all of Persia's vet bills. I have never used it for
anything else. I got a letter in the mail yesterday saying they'd lowered
my credit limit based on my "usage". Um, excuse me, it's based on...

Most of you probably remember my awful animal-abusing next-door

ultimately evicted.
Well, the apartment is still empty. The landlord had it repainted and
thoroughly cleaned.
It's been below freezing here lately (and boy, do I *hate*...

He's doing as well as can be expected given his age and general health.
They haven't had to move him back to ICU or anything like that. He does
have a cannula to keep his oxygen levels up and they're giving him IV fluids
to keep him hydrated. The doctor called last week to get some...
