I got two teeth pulled and get to live on ice cream for the next couple of days. Truly, I have arrived.
Reminds me of when my Mum used to let me stay home from school because I was sick. I used to love those days.I got two teeth pulled and get to live on ice cream for the next couple of days. Truly, I have arrived.
Look closely...do you see the snow beast trying to devour the raised bed (red bricks) ?
The snow beast is about gone here. Just have the big banks along the fencerows and they will be gone soon. I am guessing Sunday.
I am leaving work early to day to meet the delivery guys. DW and I were wandering around a furniture store last weekend when we came upon "the kitchen table from heaven". Made of solid birch, two tone stain, NINE chairs, all wood, pedestal table. We are replacing a 30+ year old laminate top that is shot. We have been looking for 5 years.
Orginal retail was $4200. Manager's special was $1900. I talked to manager and told her I only needed 6 chairs, so what's it worth for me to take the other 3 off her hands? We dicker a little and I get it for $1600, including some 5-year warranty against scratching and gouging and stuff as a throw-in, plus I got free delivery out of the deal. I will post a pic when it gets set up. I tell you, the US craftsman still make some nice furniture..........
DW gave me the rarely-used puppy dog eyes look, and that was that..........

Wise of you, because the next look would have been the rabid, attack dog look!
From that thread the obvious reason is you're hanging with the wrong crowd...Then we sat in the garage, munching on turkey wraps and contemplating our latest of many Craigslist acquisitions, and wondered how in the world we'd ever manage to spend $300K/year...
Great news for you and your DH!Today I've been able to look at the dandelions and see the delicate flower...not the weed.
Ooooooo...take good care of that eye....Went for a hike. Put some danish oil on my latest woodworking project. Did yardwork for the first time in 2011 and almost poked my eye out with a stick. Its a little sore and blurry, but it's still better than a day at work.
Thank you Ronstar...Great news for you and your DH!
Got my results today from blood work done yesterday. All the bad numbers are down and my thyroid has leveled off. My doctor is elated and so am I. After today, DH will have another week of RT under his belt (no pun intended) and still has no serious/painful side effects.
It's 84 degrees and sunny...I took advantage of that and got some sun on my toes.
