Ah, the wonder that is LiveJournal.  Some time ago my friend Slowlita opted to move away from LJ and to MySpace.  Dutifully I began using MySpace in place of LJ and that relationship has gone on for some time.  However, Slowlita recently opted to move back to LiveJournal, which is fine by me!  Actually I never much cared for MySpace - it seemed ( Read more... )

I haven't even bothered to look at when my last posting was added. I know it's been a while.

They don't take apart such equipment, but will pack up the cables and such ( Read more... )

Was at grandma's this weekend. Well, actually it was Saturday through late Tuesday. Seeing how I might not get back up there before we move, it was nice to spend some time there. I might get back up there for a couple of days next week, but it was the last trip for the daughter. It will be difficult to get over there after the move to Ohio. ( Read more... )

Joy and Bliss. It rained again yesterday. That's three days of various amounts of rain in the last week. And today the weather is glorious: high of 75, low humidity, big white puffy clouds. I even mowed the lawn and did all that other usual yardwork that I haven't had to worry about in about a month due to the drought and heat. It was a nice ( Read more... )
