Susan in TN Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) When I ordered furniture last spring, I specifically made sure that every piece would be high enough off the floor that Sir Pups(poops)-a-lot would be able to crawl underneath and get his toys himself. He is still not totally convinced that he can retrieve his ball from under the sofa and is currently halfway under the sofa and barking at his ball. Now he's crying. Come on, Pup! You can do it! It's a Silly Puppy Booyah! This is the thread that never ends, It just goes on and on my friends. People started posting not knowing what it was, And they will keep on posting here forever just because... This is the thread that never ends You'd best come join it with your friends 'Cuz it will replace Facebook as the latest web-based craze And everyone will post here instead for the rest of their days This is the thread that's always there They'll cheer you up so don't despair The group is growing well as more people start checking in And we'll keep sucking them in because our cheer is addictive This is the thread that never ends It's better than a Mercedes Benz It helps with coffee withdrawal and other troubles, too Eighteen hundred pages of friends all cheering for you This thread keeps going on and on with record-setting length and fun It started forty-eight months ago from curiosity and all the fun and frolic has shown this is the place to be This is the thread that never ends... And the place where one finds special friends, the kind that have hearts that are strong and true Yes, ITT ladies, I am talking to you! This is the thread that never ends Yeah, it's superior to other trends Friends start out scratching their head in confusion, perhaps But then the laughter strikes and they gratefully tip their caps. This is the thread that never ends I had no idea when I entered in That what seems a little nuts might actually save me From going insane on days that are crazy 🤗 This is the thread that never ends....

KrissiK Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Back from the wedding. It was nice. They didn’t have wedding cake, though. We had donuts. I sort of like donuts, but I would rather have had a nice white wedding cake with lemon filling. Or raspberry filling. You know, I think I have a problem. I don’t like chocolate as much as I used to, is that a symptom of something? Like the last several weddings and bridal showers I’ve been to I have passed up the chocolate cake in favor of lemon or even white. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 We are all about the chocolate in my house. Rich chocolate fudge cake with lots of creamy chocolate icing, bits and pieces of dark chocolate or brownies or fudge. Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. Morning, Happy Sunday. Now I want chocolate donuts. But still no car so I can't do anything. Dh is heading home this morning. I don't know what time, I haven't talked to him yet. When he gets here, we'll go pick up his car (guy called about 9pm last night that it was done). He's meeting up with an old friend he hasn't seen in about 10 years to watch football, I'll have my car so I'll run by the science center and to the store to pick up a few things since I have to deal with dinner again. I got a ton done yesterday on my to-do list. Laundry, updating Facebook from our 4-H meeting and the last two weeks of classes, printing checks, printing pictures of a field trip to be used for a study, typed a check register in Excel (I write some checks and print some so I wanted one place to track easier), payed my quarterly employer taxes, updated attendance records, updated class rosters. I do have a bit more to do today, setting up school, planning classes, but I feel pretty good about what I accomplished. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like other things when I can get them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Good morning! We are back from church and Sunday school and warming up leftovers for lunch. Last night was the last dinner from the meal train. It has been such a blessing! I do have quite a few freezer meals ready for us from my sister and other things that I have put together the last couple months, so I just have to get my meal schedule back in gear. Coffee! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I switched over all our cooking utensils to non-metal ones, but sometimes someone will use our metal eating utensils in the pans.

Wheres Toto Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Morning. Happy Monday. Heading over in a little bit to workout with dd. We're going to do a walk and yoga today then she's going to clean for me. I only have one class today, ds's math class. Which will only have him and one other student because two students will be out today. My other class has dd, one of the students missing math as well, and a student who is returning to public school. I think I'm going to switch that class next session (the other student is my cleaning person's dd). This may be the last year I do these math classes or I'll set a minimum number of students. They were (barely) worth doing for just a few students when my kids were in them, but this is the last year that will be the case. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Good morning! It's The Queen's favorite day! Our fall weather should arrive, at least temporarily, this weekend. Do mosquitos die after biting? Oh, and I found the wasp that was lost in my bathroom. Dd15 is studying it. I have to keep my head buried to avoid descending into a state of panic. Also, I am planning some hypothetical trips. I have a second load of laundry going and am trying to remember to pay bills today. A college friend of dd18 is coming over this afternoon to play a game or two - they have fall break this week. Coffee! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 So at agility yesterday Juliet slipped and fell off the five foot tall dogwalk (like a balance beam for dogs). My mommy reflexes kicked in and I broke her fall with one hand, allowing her to gently land on her feet. I was applauded by the teacher and the other participants! But now my hand hurts from blocking the fall of a 73 pound dog (nothing bad - just sore.) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
