I still laugh at that, even all these years later! LOL!
All I can say is, I’m awfully glad we no longer lived in Fremont!
The entire three years we were there, there was a Stationary High situated just off the coast, and the Bay Area experienced a bad drought. When we moved to Puget Sound, the drought ended. *ahem* (No comment.)
I rode buses when I was in college. Did homework during the two-hour commute. Blech.
Evening, all. Crazy day here. Left at 8:00 to attend Mass with all the Scouts for “Scout Sunday.” Long-winded guest priest, which wouldn’t have been bad except we then had food to sort and deliver for the “Scouting for Food” collection. I took three boys home and quickly put together a set of music for the Spanish Mass, because I’d had a sudden panic that the other guy wouldn’t be there, but fortunately he was, because DP was Idunnowhere, Scouting Food or something with Elen, Tom, and Pat.
So I just went to the Spanish service in peace. Yesterday was the feast of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple, “Candelaria” to Spanish speakers; the Mexicans have a custom of bring figures of the Infant Jesus to be blessed, so the altar area was full of baby dolls with satin robes, crowns, halos, and other froufrou. It was cute.
Then I came home and (with DP etc. still lost to headquarters) decided to take Sally, who had been with Frank and Kathleen all day, to the Urgent Care clinic, because she has poison ivy and one of her eyes is swelled shut and she looks like she was hit in the face with an anvil. But after 1-1/2 hours, we gave up and came home, by which time DP had been and gone, leaving Elen at home, to take Tom to Mass again because he was giving a plug for the high school youth group. Sally put an ice pack on her eye.
Finally, everyone is home except Bill, who is in trouble, and I’m going to puree the first half of my vegetable soup, add pumpkin, and heat it up again.
(See tagline)
Check iHerb.com for meds to help Sally.
I recall the feast of the Presentation in the Temple from high school. I liked it!
A few days ago, I got an email from Papa John’s Pizza that suggested I choose “Heads or Tails” on Super Bowl Sunday. If I chose right, I would get a free pizza. I chose Heads, so I get a free pizza! YAY, ME!
And I treated myself to buffalo wings, which is my “traditional” (for me) Superbowl Sunday fare. :o])
There is still a small bowl of squash soup in the fridge...I just need crackers...
The ice pack has helped a lot, but it's a good idea, because she and Elen often have problems with it.
How good of Papa John's to give you a free pizza! DP orders takeout from there, when we get takeout instead of frozen. They're having frozen tonight, since the other plan for supper was Overtaken By Events. It can shift to Tuesday; I'll just cook up the ground beef tomorrow, since it's thawed.
My misc. vegetable (onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic) with a can of pumpkin is hot and filling. I got some turmeric to make it extra orange ... just have to be careful not to slop.
Time to go rescue Kathleen. She has the Terrible Tired.
Go RAVENS!!!!
That looks so GOOD!
I’d take the mushrooms, the fried potatoes, and the coffee.
I’m sitting here listening to the show DP has on in the other room, about sniper training. I’m pretty sure Edward James Olmos is the narrator! He’s not Ricardo Montalban, by any means, but I could still listen to him reading the phone book.
Or the Webster's Collegiate Dictionary...
I'm still tuned in to the SuperBowl, but the lights are out...we get the talking heads in the meantime, instead of Superbowl Commercials...Bummer...
ROTFLMBO!
LOL!
I would have hoped that in my younger days, but now, I’m old enough to realize there are other things to look at besides the scoreboard. (Tight butts drive me nuts!) ;o]
I could listen to anyone articulate reading the dictionary ... I love dictionaries. I wonder if the library has one on CD. I could play it in the kitchen while I’m cooking or washing up.
I’m #6 on the list for the recording of “Anna Karenina,” not really recommended by Anoreth.
I can’t remember if I have short term memory loss.
I am so with you.
Lol!
Do you think diphenhydramine would help Sally? Iirc, it takes three hours to stop histamine production, and I don’t really know if it would help very much. ‘Face is correct about a medicinal plant being specific for it, but I can’t recall the name of the darned thing. Mr. Sg built a very large set of shelves in one of the storage units so I’ll get to unpack cartons and locate books,clothing and cooking equipment we haven’t seen for six years or so. Then we can use the bookcases for books instead of the miscellaneous stuff parked on those shelves and I’ll have access to all the books w/herbal content.
That veggie soup sounds really good.
Words are so much fun!
Short term what? Who are you and where do I know you from?
