Water Cooler

Celeste - I pulled out some of my old house photos to scan. Is this your church.LOL

No Al, but it's lovely!! What I wouldn't give to be able to climb up into those towers and see the view!

That's got to have a GREAT view, any time of year!!

Deb - it's 30% on everything. Perhaps they're giving the regular customers a head start by sending the announcement in an email. Just type in fall07 in the discount code box and watch the 30% drop!

I don't know about anywhere else but it seems that drivers are getting worse. It was raining very lightly around 2:45 and I was going to the bank before picking up my son from school. In NJ you have to have your headlights on if it's raining(it's the law).
Of course it's also kinda dark and dreary so you'd WANT your lights on. I pass this crazy woman no lights, wipers on super fast(mind you it was only lightly raining) and her sun visors down. What the heck???? Good thing she was going the opposite direction.

Not surprising at all. Drivers get worse and worse every day.

Especially the transplanted NY'rs

Hey! I resemble that remark. I was never an aggressive driver but I used to get really angry at other drivers' behavior and felt compelled to let him / her know how I felt. I learned that it was not worth it. Things can escalate quickly.

Especially now, you never know who's carrying a weapon. Hubby gets so mad he'll actually follow someone to let them know how he feels. I usually just shake my head or laugh it off.

That's what I used to do. I would speed up and make sure I could look over and stare at them or offer a friendly gesture.

I'll bet you didn't use all your fingers for that "friendly" gesture.

No I need some for my coffee, buttered roll, cell phone and makeup.

I got a speeding ticket this morning : (

Oh bummer. Sorry to hear that Deb. Were you distracted by the foliage?! I would have tried that on the cop.

He didn't give me a chance to try anything!!!!
Usually I'm a nurse works.....
Once, I said, I'm on antibiotics, and they give me diarrhea, and I was in a hurry to get to the next rest stop (thruway)!!!!! (totally made up)
I didn't get a chance to say anything this morning!

Helps when you have a detective in the family and you can flash the gold.

Well I guess I have more planting to do this fall. Garden Crossing got me as well as Dutch Gardens. I better get off this PC before the CC catches fire. Of course I did receive a seed catalogue I could peruse...

Oops, Just realized I posted my Festivus related post on the wrong thread. Meant to put it here. Anyway, it was great. Can anyone tell me Karamer's occupation (and why he never seemed to work)?

He worked in the bagel shop and was on strike?

Still. I don't know

Bingo!

As Pirl reported on the other thread, H&H Bagel shop and was on strike for 12 years. In this episode, the strike ends when minimum wage reaches the amount they were striking for.
Debbie gets full credit.

The drivers are getting worse? I didn't think they COULD get worse!

Yes, drivers are getting worse. I always wish that I was a secret cop and I could pull over all those bad drivers and slap them with a $1000 fine or something outrageous. DH just wants to throw a grenade in their car.

Deb, I love your excuses. Too bad the cop wouldn't give you an opportunity to use them today!!

Absolutely! Gotta be careful what I flash in here.

have you been profligate with your proliferations again?!

Tough finding the proper place to plant them.

wow.
everything i can think of to say would (or should) probably be censored.

We're watching "Meet the Robinsons" now

Good movie.

I finished painting the primer except a little part by the baseboard heater. Food break! PB & J. Food of the Gods.

I've had a busy week. DD#2 was in Baltimore on business so Colin was mine for most of the week. Here he is trying on his Halloween costume - ever seen a child so excited about wearing a Halloween costume? Should take bets on whether he'll wear it Wednesday for trick-or-treating!! Eleanor

When I kept snapping pics of him he put on a more suitable face!! Eleanor

Oh, by the way, he's Yoda if you can't tell!! Eleanor

a cute yoda!

OMG grammy he is sooooooooo flipping cute!!! Can I take him home?? LOL

Today I met a best friend that I had back in high school. OMG we are like soul mates...we all hit it off great after not having seen one another for like almost 20 years!!!!! Can you believe it!!!! I am certainly going to be talking about this at my water cooler on Monday!!!!

Did you say 'See you in 20' when you left??

Thanks Dawn and Debilu. Dawn - that is so great to re-meet a friend after so long a time. Can't wait to hear more about it!! Two years ago I re-met an old high school friend but the circumstances were not so good. She's a pulmonary nurse (I think I got that right, she checks breathing on patients) and she came into my father's hospital room to check on his lung function. We just stood there looking at each other for a minute and then one of said, are you......? We didn't even answer the question we just hugged, spent 5 minutes catching up and then she had to get back to work. When I went back to my father's house I grabbed some his pics of my kids to show her but never got the chance. I felt an urgent tugging to get back to the hospital and that was to be with Dad when he died a short time later. So we were never able to get to talk more.
Eleanor

p.s. - going out to Syracuse (Camillus) and leaving in a while. DD#1 has a meeting out there tomorrow and is taking me along to see some of my family that lives out there. Be back late Monday night.
