Slache Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 HAPPY PAY DAY! Matt's off to the grocery store. We have no food. Like none. There is no food. The plans today are the apple orchard and the library. I got this for school. I'm concerned about finishing it before it's due back. Where can I get a $20 microwave? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Oh and why is it when I say that we got Juliet from the Humane Society, people bless me like I’m a saint or something? It happened over and over again at the dog park yesterday. Is everyone feeling guilty that they got their dogs from breeders? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to get extra points for that. Because, you know, a $700 purebred isn't as godly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of those dogs (I've had two) have special circumstances and require more work. They don't see Juliet as the perfect puppy she is because she came from the pound. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 After Hobby Lobby, the Dollar Tree, and the Library (where I pre-emptively confessed to losing Beowulf), we stopped by a local thrift store and found dd15 a super pretty pair of leather dress boots for $4. I could tell she felt like a million bucks in them. I love that place. When we were driving off, I saw TWO reel lawn mowers leaning against the store wall. I might ask dh to run over and pre-emptively buy me one for his birthday (which is next week). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 It took Matt 2 hours to make eggs and sausages. Babiness has eggs in his hair, eyelashes and pockets. We are an hour behind schedule. Maybe a nap would help. 5 minutes ago, Susan in TN said: After Hobby Lobby, the Dollar Tree, and the Library (where I pre-emptively confessed to losing Beowulf), we stopped by a local thrift store and found dd15 a super pretty pair of leather dress boots for $4.

I might ask dh to run over and pre-emptively buy me one for his birthday (which is next week). You're very preemptive today. I like it. I got a $100 thing through ILL and the library lost it but said I lost it and I almost had to pay for it. After saying that yes I had absolutely turned it in she said there was no way she could have missed something that big and refused to look for it. She wouldn't let me look for it even though I'm a registered volunteer. She said she would contact the owning library and I would get a bill. Four days later I got am email saying she found it. Oh, gee, really? Maybe you should have looked instead of treating your patrons like thieves. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only know one of them, but the rest dh knows, or has met, or knows of. Milwaukee Brewers pitcher #32, Jeremy Jeffress--dh coached him in high school (but in basketball, not baseball). He's a really sweet guy and would probably just send you a pair of shoes! LOL! A little kid showed up at a game recently, and had forgotten his glove to catch fly balls. Jeremy heard him talk about it and gave him his. Tommie Harris, who has now retired from NFL, went to dh's school for one year, then to another one here in town (the one ds32 graduated from) and his mom was a substitute teacher at both schools. Kelvin Pena, social media sensation, who has apparently made millions posting videos of animals and has become a philanthropist, graduated from dh's school 2 years ago. Dh knew of him, and his work, but didn't teach him. Dh attended a party a long time ago, with Magic Johnson. Dh, who is 6'2", looked like a short person beside him! He is apparently very nice, too. Roy Miller is another NFL player from dh's school, who he knows. RG3, of the Baltimore Ravens, graduated from the next town from us. I'm sure dh saw both of the football players play in school, but didn't coach either of them. It's funny how, when I think about it, I remember people we have known or met. Normally, since stardom doesn't do anything for me, I forget about it right after! LOL! I think maybe you win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
