Found It!

-

The septic man came to the house and had me drop a little blue plastic thingy down the toilet. He then went out in the yard and scanned the ground with something that looked vaguely like a metal detector. It beeped. He dug. And lo and behold, there it was!

He opened in the lid. It was like a giant pool of toilet/sink/shower waste. And the first thought that raced through my mind was "When did we have corn?"

that looks pretty far down. Was it anywhere near where you thought it may be?
Happy Hurricane! Waiting nervously in CT - big trees.

Man, his visit was right on time! Let us know as soon as you guys are no longer in danger.

And if you run outa Sam Adams, I'll bring you a case of Shiner. Heck, do I NEED a better reason to visit??

Hey Barb! It was in the general vicinity but I think it still would have took a bit of digging to find it. I'm glad they dug it for us! Looks like Irene is heading toward CT now so hope things are going ok in your area. Be safe Barb.

Hi Solo! It's raining - can you head over with that case? I'll make any excuse to have you get your behind to New England :)

Hello from the dark-
No power & it doesn't look like we'll be getting it back anytime soon. Estimates are 2 to 5 days. We're ok, trees down all over the place but ours just did a little self pruning. Nothing major. Hopefully you didn't get too much of the storm.

Hi Barb - I'm hoping your power is back on by now. What a drag. Glad to hear you are ok and that there was no major damage done to your house. Hopefully the next storm will miss New England :)

Now Boarding Rows 1 Through 10. Is There Room For Your Carry On?

Here's an interesting texting typo I created last week: And if airline seats get any smaller, I can see this being an actual problem. Can you imagine? I'm sorry ma'am, but there is no way both of you can seat in one seat. You will have to purchase an additional ticket for "her". What would happen then? Would she want the window or middle seat? That's assuming she would even want to sit next to me. I mean, we are together 24/7 so she may want a little alone time, out in the open air, where she is free of any restraint. And what if she is chatty, flapping her lips the whole time? I'm not a big talker when I travel, preferring instead to bury my head in a magazine so I can take my mind off the flight and enjoy my Ativan. I imagine the conversation going as such: She:  I hate that bike seat at spin class. You have no idea what it's like. Me:  Spin class is only 50 minutes. You can handle it. I bought you padded shorts. Those weren't

Things For Which To Be Thankful

My two nieces have had some health issues lately. First E was admitted to the hospital with severe abdominal pain. She ended up with a five day stay. Then my other niece S spent twelve hours in the ER due to a pain in her side (no, it wasn't me). Not feeling up to par can really bring you down. So I am sending them both some well wishes here today and hopefully convincing them that there are worse things in life. There is 80's hair: Oh, and a couple of more things to add to the list: red shag carpet and wrist corsages. Rock me like a hurricane girls, but you sure are pretty in pink (and black). Hey - didn't you have a cat that got lost at one point. I think I see it. ADDENDUM - THOSE PICTURES ARE NOT OF ME. SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION. TO BE FAIR, I HAVE POSTED MY 80'S PIC BELOW:
