Slache Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 My husband drove 40 minutes to the church to get my paycheck and 40 minutes home... without the check. An hour and 20 minutes. For nothing. I called to make sure he had the check in his hand, I told him NOT to go back into the building, that if he did go back into the building to set it down, but he didn't. He took it in the building and left it there. I should have called him 5 minutes after the first call. I usually do. Silly me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) Workers showed up today to begin foundation repair on my beautiful home.

Mr. Ellie moved my computer upstairs to a guest room, as the room we use for an office will be gutted pretty soon (new hardwood flooring in the whole house, paint the office).

When I was in Copenhagen, they had rain a lot like the PNW - we soon learned that it wasn't really worth hauling out the umbrella. In Goteborg, Sweden, though, we had a true gully-washer and needed full rain gear plus golfing umbrella. Sadly, we only had our ultra compact travel umbrella. ☔️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Good morning. I don't use umbrellas either and we get real rain here. I always just found them annoying and I seemed to get wetter trying to juggle opening and closing it while getting in and out of the car, holding other packages or purse, helping kids. Just more trouble than it's worth. Ds, on the other hand, carries an umbrella everytime it looks like there could possible be a drop of rain. As long as he's careful not to hit anyone with it, and doesn't hold us up too much, he's welcome to. I'm going to vote with oldest dd at 9. We were supposed to go at 8 but she's running late. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) Good morning! No one here is happy about being awake. There were a couple tornadoes in the area, but mostly well south of here. In recent years we have become more diligent in making everyone get to the basement in a storm even when we feel pretty certain that it's not going to hit our house because you rarely know until it's too late to get to safety. We like umbrellas here. I get a little overly excited when Aldi puts them out for sale in the fall. I usually only use one when I need to protect things like instruments or orchestra music or books from getting wet (and that's 80% of the time I leave the house). Coffee!

Junie Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Thinking back about the umbrella thing: I mostly stopped using umbrellas while I was in college. It rained a lot, but it rained sideways. And it was usually windy. Umbrellas were mostly useless. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Dd14 told me last night that she wanted to self-study Latin. I told her I had a textbook that I could give her. She's apparently someone serious about this, because she reminded me a few minutes ago that I forgot to give her the book. I pulled the book off the shelf and showed her how the lessons are set up. She smiled when I handed her the book. Any advice that I should give her? This is the book we have. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) We had a casualty from the storm last night. Somehow the steel wire mesh, the clear plastic sheeting, and the entire string of Christmas lights were lifted off Lynette and onto the deck this morning. Lynette was partially uprooted and languishing on her side. The baby is OK and it seems that all her leaves are intact. I am baffled that the lights, which were wrapped around her several times in and out of branches, managed to end up on the deck without Lynette. I have tried to get everything back into place and put in a support to keep her upright, but we'll have to wait and see if she recovers.
