Wheres Toto Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) But Northern Water Snakes are super common. Not venomous but super nasty. They'll bite, chew on you, while they poop on you. We have a ton of them at our local lake we join. Ewww. A water snake booya. Edited April 1, 2023 by Wheres Toto 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I'm a little bored. Just doing laundry and working on a zombie escape room for class later this week. Except I can't finalize the escape room until I go to work and take a look at what locks, etc I have. I also did about half of a 6 hour defensive driving course that dh, ds and I are all doing. We will get a HUGE discount off our car insurance for doing this course. And considering ds's insurance is over $4500 a year, any discount will help. Plus, it's probably good for him to take the course. It goes over all kinds of safety stuff and obscure rules about who has the right of way in weird situations. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Dh may have gotten his car working again, so I may not have to go into work super early anymore. Except it's a 23 year old Suburban with over 250,000 miles on it and I HATE that car. The accelerator wasn't working but evidently it's a common problem with cars that get a lot of rust underneath. Since he used to use it to tow his boat and back it into the ocean, there's a lot of rust. He cleared away some wires and that seems to have done the trick. The dashboard lights don't work either so you basically guess at your speed, and gas gauge, and what gear you are in. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) Gymnast went to a birthday par-TEA today, and moms were invited. It was very nice. Apparently the grandmother loves collecting tea ware. There were several tables (big and small), name cards, the whole setup. A friend and I were saying we were quite happy that our first tea was at a child's party, because we're a mess, lol! We did try out our British accents. Edited April 1, 2023 by Renai edited photo 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Ugh, now we have tornado warnings. Luckily they don't tend to travel very far around here. Northern NJ isn't exactly flat. We don't have anywhere to go. No basement, no rooms that aren't on outside walls. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 It's the Final Four!!! Only a little bit more and dh won't have any sports to watch, so things will get a lot quieter around here. He only watches NFL and college basketball regularly. He'll watch golf occasionally (boooorrrriiinngg, but quieter than NFL and basketball at least) and the three big horse races. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very interesting and well done. It started storming at the beginning of the presentation and was done storming by the end.

Wheres Toto Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Dh did get his truck working again. He cleaned off the rusted wire and evidently that fixed everything. At least for now. It does need something done with the exhaust system but that's a normal fix. I have mixed feelings. I definitely don't want to continue going into work 2-3 hours early. And it's definitely better than a new car payment. I just worry that it's safe. Dh's commute is only about 5 miles on all residential streets. And he says it would just stop working, not blow up or brakes fail or anything. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 This is the last week of my current session, except for snow makeups next Tuesday. Everyone keeps calling it Spring Break, but it just happens to be when the session finishes up. I can't believe how fast this year is going. I have my endometrial biopsy next week. Except I'm getting pretty much a full on period right now (which probably is taking care of my "thickened endometrial lining" problem). I did send a message to the doctor in case I needed to go in earlier but I'm hoping we just keep things the way they are now. I don't have a whole lot of times I could go in this week. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happily, she's not very sensitive and takes my constant correction without becoming annoyed. 🙂 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Day 201 hike with Juliet. I reverse engineered the hike from the other day- this time leaving the trail where I had wanted to enter, and then memorizing the fancy mansions and their twisty cul-de-sacs. Then I walked to where I left the trail the other day-almost missed it but just almost. Then I finished the trail proper (at least as far as I've gotten so far plus a bit farther because I'm pushing myself. ). Then on the way back I got off and on the trail the way I had intended to the other day. Mission accomplished. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Pup's right ear is beautiful. Left ear is a mess. The vet (a new one in the practicd) said she looked at Things under a microscope (literally) and it's definitely a yeast problem and so most likely allergies. She has recommended a different food to try and also that we give him Zyrtec, at least through the spring, to see if that helps reduce the ear infections. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
