Tsuga Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Tsuga, I cannot believe you have been brainwashed into the H. #noh I was born with an H. Booya is like writing "ya" instead of "yeah". Incorrect. For the "ah" instead of the short "a" we require an "h". If you look at my post history you'll see I am consistently pro-H. And that's all I will say about that, besides BOOYAH. I have a really nice table of home prices and homes sold in our price range in certain areas within the last year. Long story short... it's possible to buy here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I pronounce it with a schwa A, not an ah A. And, there folks, we have discovered the root of the spelling problem - pronunciation. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dh found a Belgian waffle maker on clearance at Walmart, so that will be birthday breakfast today. Tonight is Dd17's opening night performance; I got to video her solo in N.Y.C at the dress rehearsal last night. (Smiles and hearts). My chamber concert is tonight (more smiles and hearts) and no one has to go to the dentist today! Have a great day!

MarkW Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Good morning ITT people. As usual I refuse to read your absurd midnight back log. I hope everybody's doing well and if you're not doing well, I hope it gets better. Except for that one person. You know who. As of this morning ~4,000 people have seen my paintings and prints. Not a sale out of those, but I wasn't really expecting one until I clean up and populate my shop better. I'm also thinking about doing some pop culture stuff just to get attention. I'm thinking Bill Murray as Peter Venkman on black velvet with animated fiber optic lighting. Can't go wrong... right? Also: feck. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professormom Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Jean and Renai, hope you both have much better days today than yesterday :thumbup: Guys are working on finishing our cabinets today. (We can't remodel the kitchen for a few years because in-laws, so we put beadboard inside the cabinets and painted the outside. Dh also inset beadboard in the cabinet doors and added new hardware, so they look purty. They were NOT purty to begin with. Luckily, they are old enough that they are really well-built and sturdy. Sometime I will post a picture. Maybe.) This also means that I have pots and pans and Tupperware and serving spoons all over my house. It is giving me hives:-) I will be taking kids on a field trip to the Historical Society in our state Capitol so they can learn.things. They are working on research this year with a friend of mine, and she is awesome! I am glad Ellie is back. I am not your run of the mill usurper. I am happy to be her number 2. :lol: I am also happy she found an outfit. I hope to hear her story soon. I will be ready to take a bazooka to anyone who hurt her:-( Need coffee badly. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Hello. Checking in and catching up before I have to go teach two squirrels that are dressed up in boy clothes. It's cold outside, sunny and the wind is blowing and they want to go nuts. Also, I hate history. Again. But I will hit 40,000 on my story by this weekend, so that is something. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJosMom Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 But, I like her. I just can't stand her. She brings out a side in me that is rarely seen. So rare, it's like, zombie. We got into it so bad yesterday, I think we were both on the verge of tears. All I told her is to actually listen to the words coming out of my mouth and stop treating me like a moron. I have no idea why she brings out that side of me. I try to smile and nod, but can't. I refuse to have my intelligence insulted. The last job that did that to me, about 12 years ago, I quit. I know she doesn't try to insult me, she is actually really nice and wants to help, but she goes about it the wrong way and doesn't listen to where I could actually use help. Witch. Well if you won't let me bring the bazooka, how about a :grouphug: . (That was for you, not her. This is for her.) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJosMom Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 In other news, Gymnast wants to read so bad. About 2-3 weeks ago, I got a set of beginner Bob books from Scholastic. She picked a couple out for me to read to her. She started trying to sound out words, even though the only sounds she has down are Y, M, S, and O. The first book has A, P, and T. So I read it through with her several times, sounding out words, etc., then move on to my own homework. She kept trying to go over the book herself. When she couldn't consistently remember the new sounds, she threw the book across the bed and exclaimed "I'll never learn how to read!" and cried. It was so sad. :crying: Thankfully, my school is over, and I can now start teaching her how to read. But in Spanish first. Probably. Leap Frog videos. Seriously. They're awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 My sleep report - I dreamt that it was the first day of boarding school (I spent 6 years there so it is rather indelibly etched into my brain) and I was moving into my dorm room.

Ellie Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 And I just finished preparing "Cauliflower 'Fried Rice,'" from Mickey Trescott's Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook." It's better than I expected it to be, but it sure did require lots of prep. o_0 I've made several recipes from this book, and they were all pretty good, but most require lots of prep, i.e., chopping/slicing/dicing, which is ironic since one of the symptoms of autoimmune diseases is pain in the joints and hands...my poor hands were aching by the time I was finished! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkW Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Over the weekend I hired a couple of graphic designers on Fiverr to do new banners for my Etsy shop. I paid them... errmmm.. not very much, but more than they asked, and they did some seriously great work (I think)! https://www.etsy.com/shop/CadenceTerminus Beats the heck out of my cheesy wood-grain-with-a-fancy-font hackjob that was up there before. Today Izzy is at my MIL's house. She's only got one arm that works and she's already watching my SIL's two kids, one of whom is an infant. The only help she's got is her mother, who's 96 and whose wrist is about as big around as my thumb. Should go well... Haven't followed up with the boss yet on that per diem/hourly/part time/work from home/whatever it's gonna be, thing. I'm hoping we can get it done before the end of the year but that also makes me panic a bit about Christmas let alone next month's bills. Something's gotta give, though. She wants me to give her an estimate of the hours needed in a week for me to fulfill the requests I normally get. The truthful answer is that it takes about 3 hours out of the entire week to provide the reports they ask for, now that I've finished reverse engineering their systems (because the software vendor's reporting tool is garbage I just go straight to the database.) There's no way she's going to go to her boss, though, and tell her that they're not utilizing an FTE position that they fought like heck to get. In a way it's kind of like that story about the engineer who draws the million dollar chalk mark. Yes, it took me 5 minutes, but you couldn't do it in ten years. Sigh. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
