    LUVH8 Happy Monday Dance??? Where’s my trusty murdering gun? I jumped out of bed this morning and sang, “Oh boy! It’s Monday! I wonder what’s happening at work? Then I skipped down the lane with a smile on my face and a song in my heart to meet my loving coworkers and understanding supervisors who recognize, acknowledge, and reward my every effort. Actually, I awoke and decided to spend a few minutes connecting my new printer. This time I did not connect the USB cord before running the software (I can learn after one mistake).Five hours later I’m saying “HUH?” I believe I left a sledgehammer with my murdering gun.

    LONEWLF As usual, a wonderful spread. You are to be highly reprimanded again. I’ll have 1-5, please. You’ll find my 32 oz cup for #3 under the sink.

    My lying cousins told me that they saw no oil or tar balls on the beaches in Biloxi, MS, Pensacola, FL, and Ft. Walton, FL this weekend. Don’t know why they’d lie to me like that, but they must be lying because the news says the oil spill is covering the entire Gulf Coast.

    Good morning, tribe! Rac - I’ll pray for your son. Grog - I agree! I like it when the 4th lands on Sunday, because my hubby usually gets off the Monday. Since the fireworks display are my favorite part of the celebration, it is great to be able to stay up late to watch, and sleep in the next day. We had some great parties in the first few years after we moved here, and our development was new. Lots of neighbors would spend big bucks on their firework purchases, and the trees were smaller, so we could see them easier. Now the new has worn off for us long-time residents, and the trees make it more difficult to get that panoramic view. Still, it beats fighting traffic, crowds, admittance costs, etc., even if I have to select just one show or shift my chair constantly. (We do have one or more swivel chairs in our eclectic deck furnture collection, which makes that easier.) Doc - Ice cream - yum! I guess I’d better make sure to buy some for this weekend, and figure out what else the family wants to eat. Even if we’re not having company over, we can still have our own private party.

    Hi, Neighbors! Sojo - When next fall rolls around and they’re in the stores again, buy several extra bags to keep in your freezer. I’ve found that a chest freezer is a real money saver in the long run. If I find something that is a “hit or miss” or really good sale item, I stock up and freeze them. Of course, some things don’t do well frozen (lettuce is one I’ve accidently tried) but I freeze breads almost all the time. Living out here, I’ve learned to stock up rather than running to the stores all the time. Have you looked at Dillon’s Marketplace stores? They carry a lot of items! I’m still learning my way around them, but the Andover one is usually on my way in or out of town.

    Kab - Thyroid problems run in my family, too. Both parents and at least one brother. I’ve got to remember to ask my doctor next time I’m in, if he screens me regularly to check for that. Also think I’m likely to get rheumatoid arthritis, as I’ve had bursitis since I was in my 20’s. Dad’s turned into RA, so I won’t be surprised, just wonder if the doc will be on the lookout for it. This weekend would have been terrible without the a/c! At least today is cooler.

    Rmom- I’ve had friends looking at all different stores. A while back one found two off brand frozen cranberries at Dillons - it was probably the last of a special order. I used to see them all the time and my grandmother always made fresh cranberry nut bread when visiting her. I don’t think I have room for a seperate freezer but do have a Food Saver vacuum sealer I could put some into my freezer, I just need to figure out if they need to be blanched first.

    Luv - It was too quick of a trip to be really enjoyable, but we knew that ahead of time. At least everything went well without problems, which is a lot to be thankful for! If you go to my PB, you can see how Texas prisons handle mowing their grass. Did my heart good to see that the criminals weren’t enjoying a taxpayer paid vacation!

    Sometimes the end of the month comes around too quickly, LuvH8 This would be one of those months.

    I was just curious, Rmom. You probably had lots of great choices. In the Pasadena area, there are some great choices if you like Mexican and more Mexican or some of the standard fast food fare.

    Grog - We both enjoy Mexican, but since we’ve got one here that we go to a couple times a week, steak seemed like a good splurge. Saltgrass was good, but seemed more pricey than Outback, and comparable quality. However, it was nice to go somewhere else for a change. I’m just glad it was good food. When we went out for our 25th anniversary, we went to a steak restaurant that cost about the same as Outback, but the steak was tough & chewy. Yuk! We were in Houston proper, so Saltgrass worked out just fine. I saw a lot of Pappas restaurants in Houston & Dallas, looks like a pretty successful company. I think their steakhouse is out of my league, but the BBQ was right on target. That is one thing that helps our marriage - we like the same cuisines. He gets the hot sauce and I get the mild, but at least we can enjoy the same restaurants.

    Grog - I did notice those, but neither one of us are seafood lovers. I like fried breaded shrimp, but I don’t love it. I think my hubby is the same way about lobster. So if we eat high-priced seafood, someone else is picking up the tab. Now my hubby does like Cajun, but it is too hot for my enjoyment.

    Hi, EMET! Sojo - I do the majority of my shopping at those two places, too. Since for years I always had my kids in tow (due to homeschooling) when I went shopping, Wal-Mart became very convenient for me. Once they were sufficiently mature, I’d let them go to other departments while I shopped for groceries. The prices are usually less than Dillons, when I’ve done any non-sale price comparisons. I liked Dillons better when they weren’t as “Krogerized”, but they carry some items I can’t get at Wal-Mart. I know a lot of people who like Aldi’s, but I’ve never found enough reasons for our family to shop there. Braums is where I buy all our milk, sausage, some of our ice cream, and various fresh produce if I need some when buying milk.

    Rmom - I agree with that. Kroger brands aren’t too good. Checking the ingredients will show that! Almost all meats at Wal-mart are injected up to 11 per cent, even if the lable dosn’t say it! Aldi’s I don’t like out of principle. I don’t know if they have changed now but they used to accept cash only, have *NO* security measures (video cameras etc.) and if robbed the manager would automaticaly be fired because he allowed it, reguardless of his experience, etc.

    Sojo - That’s why I get almost all of our meat at Stroots Lockers. If I can find a farmer to buy it direct from, then Stroots just handles the processing. But they’ll buy cattle & hogs from farmers, and take a chunk of profit for themselves to sell it to customers. That is really helpful if a person doesn’t want to buy a whole 1/2, but just certain cuts or ground beef. The 2nd seems to get the older cows, but still better quality than what a grocery store sells generally. Of course, you’ve got to go to Mulvane or - I think - Conway Springs.

    Hi Rmom, I was thinking of the old wooden elevators that used to be in every town on the prairie. Usually they would have the name of the town on them as well as the company name, such as Wheat Pool. They were usually the tallest buildings in the town and you could see them from quite a way.

    My sister found a box that my Mom and Dad filled with old receipts etc dating back to the early 1950s. I was just thinking of some of the things that are gone and making myself kind of sad.

    By the way Lonewolf she found a receipt for an oil change and new filter dated 1952 for $3.98. If I bring my van to you when it needs an oil change, will you match that?

    Repetitive repair: reboot repeatedly until it works

    Theological repair: “Oh, God, let this work!” while rebooting

    Scatological or Cursive repair: as above, but while saying “^%#^ it, work!”

    Catapult repair (or, better, disposal): throwing it out the window. (aka Defenestration disposal).

    Yay! There is still soda left. Hmm! Grog’s not here now, so I think I will take one of his pepsi’s.

    (Giggles!) I love being the bad girl. :-)

    I sure hope that Big Sister or anyone else doesn’t get eaten up by them pesky mosquitoes. They’re huge! I swear they must be a new mutated species of insect.
