Junie Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 One more prayer request: My uncle is having cataract surgery tomorrow. It's a little bit trickier than usual because he has already had surgery on that eye several times. Also, he is blind in his other eye (a childhood accident with a baseball), so vision in his good eye is critical. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I will post now, so as to avoid making The Queen weep. I mostly finished "Silent Night/Away in a Manger", and just need to do a little editing and get parts formated. It was fairly easy because I copied off a harp arrangement that I made a few years ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I still have to type up today's school schedule. Instead of being a good writer, I found a thread this morning that so incensed me, I needed to write a 500 word rant on technological discrimination. Safely tucked away where I can do no harm with it, because it may not be entirely accurate and was motivated entirely by an emotional response. Now I'm going to get my dusty old books and come up with a good week's school work, compose myself, and get back to work! ETA: NOT a thread here! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Good Morning!!!! COFFEE!!!~D Monday!!??? (sorry, Ellie!) Oldest DD is at camp this week. DH is quitting his job today. He took a new one, which is a farther commute and a lateral move financially, but it seems like it will suit his skill set much better and be much less stressful. it’s supposed to be hot again. Which is not unusual. It’s summer in the Central Valley of California. Ellie, you must disclose details regarding your meet-up. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Coffee! I slept in. There's lots of rambunctiousness next door which I hope means it's all over. It's early enough they could have all of the medical equipment picked up and the girls could be home for dinner. All they do is walk around all day crying but they don't feel like they can leave. I think my Bible is in the car. Matt thought he paid rent but didn't so he's going to stop by the office and offer sacrifices to the apartment gods in hopes of avoiding fees. He has the website in his browsing history but no confirmation email. Twice this has happened and it was a system error so we're hoping that's what it is. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 A medium honkin' spider was ON me. I screamed and flicked it off and started whacking it with a shoe until it was reduced to molecules.

Critterfixer Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Self-Control I found a spider in my hair, I didn’t scream and didn’t swear, I didn’t succumb to the strain, Just calmly plunged it down the drain. I found a spider on my face, I didn’t yell, burn down the place, My self-control’s a thing of pride, I never squealed and never died! I found a spider on my tush, I didn’t feel it ‘til the squish, Be proud of me, I didn’t dance, Just stripped right down and burned my pants. I found a spider in my bed, And after all this that I’ve said, You think I flinched? Or jumped with fright? You bet I did! No sleep all night.

Critterfixer Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 What I DON'T like about Fourth Form Latin?

Critterfixer Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 All post-positive means is that there are certain conjunctions in Latin that just don't come first in a sentence. Usually.

Slache Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 They were wanting to go see her and pick her flowers so I told them. John cried and Mary thinks that I'm joking and kept telling John that she was coming home until I told her to stop. I guess all in all it went well. Then I found that Alex's mouth was bleeding and it hurt too much for me to inspect so I let it go for a little while. It continued bleeding for too long so I went in and found he had eaten part of a red crayon, which I guess is better than the alternative. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
