it's not off season - there is no season anymore
It might not be in season for students who are in school currently but it's mighty busy here! Traffic is deplorable as the snowbirds are here currently - from now until June hopefully *S*
We like BUSY in Central/South Florida *lol*
I sure will! I will probably go Thursday and get some

School is out on Thursday here nm

It's the Thursday Fun-Poll !!!! YAY!
 Let's see how alike or different we all are!
Chronological Age: 55
Physical Age: 30
Emotional Age: 12
What State: CA
How you like being an MT: Eh, it's [barely] a living.
What you like/dislike about it: I like to type, but I hate being poor.
Favorite Food: Hamburgers.
Favorite Spectator Sport(s): Figure skating.
Most fun you ever had in your life: Exploring London & Oslo on foot.
One of your worst experiences: Breaking my leg at the top of the mountain while skiing, and having to hop all the way down on one leg because the ski-patrol blew right by me, and didn't even stop to help.
Funniest experience: Getting my fanny-pack caught in a chairlift seat at Squaw Valley, and going clear around the bullwheel before the stoned-out liftie realized what was wrong. Then, mortified, having to jump 6 or 8 feet to the ground while the liftie & others laughed. (Find paper bag. Cover head with it. Ski away fast!)
Best pet you ever had: A dog-pound dog I adopted in 1973. She was my sidekick for 4 years, before getting killed by a car. She understood English, so you had to s-p-e-l-l some things in her presence. She was psychic - always knew what I was thinking. She went everywhere with me: Hikes, horseback rides, long car trips, motels, other people's houses, the Renaissance Faire, art shows, concerts, etc. My mom considered her to be my sister.
Funnest job you ever had: I was a temp for Kelly Girl, and got to work for 2 weeks at an architect's firm located high in the mountains above Malibu Beach. Lots of young, cute guys worked there. Every day at lunch, we all changed into shorts, set up a volleyball court in the parking lot, and played volleyball for an hour!
Weirdest job you ever had: Worked (also as s temp) at a toilet-factory in Van Nuys. The people there were all so high-drama about that place, that I had to stifle giggles more than a few times. I also used to do saddle-repairs and bridle-making. Also got paid to drive motor homes for people who were scared to drive them.
When you win the Big Lottery, you will: Quit my job! (duh...) Buy a small house somewhere, maybe up in Lake Tahoe, preferably with a tennis court in the back. Will remove the net, and turn it into a private roller rink. Will make it "flood-able" for winter, so I can ice-skate in my own backyard. Will maybe get a pet chinchilla. Will travel frequently, especially back to London. Will own a season pass to not one, but several ski areas. Will become more involved in animal rescue.
Your favorite musical group(s): Pussycat Dolls (various); Sundogs (swamp-rock boogie); Red Elvises (Siberian surf-rock); Trans-Siberian Orchestra (orchestral rock); Michael Franti & Spearhead (various, reggae, etc.); Grateful Dead (various).
Latest pet peeve: Obnoxious skateboarders.
Favorite News Anchor: Brian Williams. (What a cutie!)
Favorite past Sat. Nite Live comedian: Gilda Radner
Favorite current Sat. Nite Live comedian: Kristin Whig... (her "Penelope" character has me ROTFL.)
Favorite Sports Hero(s): Apollo Anton Ono (short-track speed skater), Johnny Mosely (freestyle skier), Peggy Fleming (ice skater), and Joe Montana (and I don't even like football!)
Most disliked sports figure(s): Barry Bonds, and all those other 'roid junkies. OJ Simpson is no prize, either.
I cook / don't cook because: If God had intended for me to cook, I would've been born with Teflon hands.
What you would replace in your house: My fridge. It's OLD. The freezer is not frost-free, and this most recent time I defrosted it, it had gotten SO small inside, that only 2 Swanson chicken pot-pies would fit in it.
Who did you look up to as a kid or teenager? One of my horseback-riding instructors. Not only taught us kids how to ride, but she also took groups of us on field trips to places like the Art Museum, the Ballet, historial spots in the city, movies, miniature golf, concerts, the 4th of July fireworks, etc. She practically raised some of us.
Did you pass the 1st time you took your driver's test? No. I forgot to look over my left shoulder when changing lanes, and he flunked me for that. I was sooooo embarrassed, I didn't go back to re-take it for several months!
Do you text when you drive? Haha.... I can't even text when I'm sitting in the living room! Them little buttons is 'way too small for me........
What you hope to see in your lifetime: Solar-powered EVERYTHING... houses, cars, even airplanes. (yeah, right...) Switzerland. Mount St. Helens. Paris. Another Olympic in-person. (Went to summer 1984 in Los Angeles... it was just TOO much fun!) The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in person. Death Valley. Burning Man. Australia & New Zealand. Spain. Ireland. A tornado (from a safe distance). And....! MT becoming a good-paying job again someday.
Worst pain you ever felt: A couple of real doozer, 3-day migraines. Yes, those were even worse than my broken leg!
How you treat a really bad mood: I avoid other people if possible. Stay inside all day and watch lots of daytime "trash-TV" shows. Buy a gallon of chocolate-chip-cookie-dough ice cream, and polish that puppy off in one sitting. Spew a little on Craigslist's "Rants & Raves" board. Bake a few million cookies. Go for a very long drive, hike, skate, or bike ride. And....double up on the Prozac

Happy Flyer, or White-Knuckler? Happy mid-flight, white-knuckler on takeoffs/landings.

Well, I lost my job on Thursday the 12th,
so I guess that's the bad luck day for me now.
I loved that job, but the economy finally got to the nursery business I've been working for. I was offered a lesser job until the economy comes back, but I don't know how I'll survive. I've been without a computer for about 3 weeks, so I couldn't do any of the general transcription work I had started doing. Life was really good for the month since I'd moved out and started over on my own, too.
Results show is Thursday night.

In Limestone County, Alabama, Thursday the 24th is the last day.
Students go half-day Thursday.
My 2 high schoolers started back last Thursday. It is
so hot here (Virginia) they are having to dismiss school early. The high school is putting in an air conditioning as well as a new heating system even as we speak, but the air won't be up and running until next spring. Now if only all the other schools would get air conditioning. Hopefully soon.
I bowl on Thursday nights so it's take out for the rest of the family - NM

Grey's Anatomy & Hopkins - Thursday nights. sm
Law & Order SVU and Desparate Housewives. I usually use the DVR and watch them when I get a chance.
That one can really burn ya up! LOL

I really don't think I will burn in hell for having some
tombstones and a zombie on my lawn. My heart is right with God, not that it is my neighbor's business, and I just happen to make Halloween fun. Halloween is what you make of it. Not everyone is going to agree with me, but you know what? After talking to countless people about this, my things are going back up Friday when I have time to put them up. There is not one person in my neighborhood who has a problem with this, just my busybody neighbor. Thanks for all your input!
Matches... no don't burn them
About 25 years ago, my 5-year old son had really bad warts, not plantar warts though, but he had them all over, arms, hands, legs, everywhere. Before he was to start kindergarden his pediatrician wanted to remove them, maybe about 25 in all. Ouch.. I felt so bad for the poor little guy.. anyway an "old timer" told me to get kitchen matches... the old fashioned kind with red tops that you can strike anywhere.. and to soak a few in some water and then to paint the warts with that... well I did it, but was very skeptical and over the summer the warts just dried up and went away. Don't know if you can still get old fashioned matches, maybe at an oldtime hardware store, etc. It may be that they had sulfer in them and this might have been the "magic". Whatever, it worked for him.
same here, gotta burn those wicks!. nm

I don't burn candles from Yankee, but
I use those wax tarts in a tart warmer, and I found that the ones from Yankee smell the longest. They give off more of a smell in your house than candles do. Plus you can get an electric warmer, so you don't have to worry about the flame if you have animals or such, as I do. Works much better for me, just a suggestion.
I agree, but it could be burn out, because it sounds
xx
Not together I hope.. you could burn something important LOL
I burn Yankee Candles
Right now I have one going in my office that is called "beach towel" and it smells like the beach on a hot summer day! (I'm in denial because I live in New England and it's cold here now!) In my living room, I am burning one called "chocolate chip cookie" and it smells like just someone is baking cookies! I love it! I go to Yankee Candle about twice a month and stock up! I just got about 5 of their new Christmas candles that I can't wait to burn.
Only on very bad days. Either burn candle or

Hey, I think I'll burn really tall
candles under my mailbox. Then all the bills and junk mail will burn up before it gets into my house and makes messy piles, LOL.
How efficient. :o)
Doing a slow burn here, going for the jugular
i was so involved, thought i had found some people i could trust and started an animal rescue group with. I paid the expenses to start with the understanding that i would be involved as far as being able to go to rescue animals and basically spent time interacting with them. Oh, believe you me before I did this I got this in writing with the person I was starting this with. Since January of this year when this was first started I basically have rescued about 10 cats and that was about 3 weeks ago. I went along with my coperson but she was always the one picking the animals out. I was happy to go but seems like that has suddenly dried up now since she is up and apparently making some money. I made it clear I did not want any money they might make from the sell of the animals, I was only happy to get them out of the places where they would be put down. Well, so much for MS Nice Lady. I have called her twice over the past 3 days, sent her an email asking her to call, called another lady she heavily works with in this rescuing and no answer at all. I have smoke coming out my ears. Just imagine, about 3 months ago this same person asked me to cosign on a vehicle with a person I had met 1 time for them to transport animals up north!! Well, duh, do I look that looney to you. Not only that, but then 2 months ago this same person came to me telling me she had her electricity turned out, forgot to pay her bill and wanted to borrow $500.00. Even though I am what you call a senior citizen (and when I take her behind to court, that might also work against her) I told her no way was 1 month bill that much, had to be more than 1 month and maybe she should ask her mother and/or father for that. No way Jose was I giving any money, for the animals yes, for someone who conviently forgets a bill, nah. Has anyone on here ever put a lien against someone else. This person does not have a job but has a home. I do not know if the home is in her name but I have just printed off several sheets from Craig's List where they are offering the animals for $125-$200 so she should have some money by now. She is incorporated now but when we signed the agreement she was not, just us starting out. I would think with her being incorporated and selling the animals she should also have books to show her income and such. I am going for her jugular and no more Ms Nice Nice. I am ticked. Thank goodness I have saved any and all receipts I have pertaining to all the animal care, food, etc. etc. that I have paid out.

cool baths burn with fever
I discovered cool baths really burn when you have a high fever. Maybe tepid to slightly warm may be better.
I can't burn scented candles in my house because it will
l
Dear Next Door Burn other neighbors down also
You should not have a fire blazing out of control- we have woods right behind us that basically connect. Oh, I was the one who called the fire department on your blaze. Against the rules here in the community and the city as far as that is concerned. Talk about loonies- maybe that is why I do not talk with you.
Well, it's gotten cold enough to burn the fireplace. I'm in northern AZ. How bout you?
j
Do you burn candles or other scented stuff while you work?
s
I burn those Yankee tarts in my tart burner
right now have Christmas Wreath in to get me in the spirit. I think they give off more of a smell than the candles.
And if you take notice...
a lot of these posts just prove my point..
If you notice...
The OP is nagging on a few different boards here, trying to stir the pot. Ignore crabby patty.
Well at least he took notice!
I could have changed my hair to purple and my ex wouldn't even have noticed. Maybe that's why he's my ex! LOL.
and did anybody notice
as long as you are up, you might as well go to the bathroom and now you find you essentially have retrained your bladder?
Pet Notice
To be posted VERY LOW on the refrigerator door, at pet nose height.
Dear Dogs and Cats:
1. The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
2. The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
3. I cannot buy anything bigger than a king-sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
4. For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob, or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years-- canine or feline attendance is not required.
5. The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough!
6. To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door:
To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets:
1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it 'fur'niture.
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, they are an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.
Did anyone ever notice...
…on the television talk shows whenever a dietician is on they are always skin and bones? I would like to be slimmer but not look anorexic.
Yah, notice it is a BOY she is breastfeeding...anyone think about that?
LOL
I was so emotional did not notice and SM
made mistakes in mine as well. No problem. I think we got our point across. I wish you and me could team up and wipe some of the needless suffering and abuse out. 
No, but I got a notice saying I don't get a check!
I'd like to tell them what they can do with their "stimulus" package.
If so, and you are just starting sm
you should know that the newbies do not have first choice, and you should be ready and willing to work the holidays. People who have been around much longer have first choice, as it should be. Wouldn't you agree?
Its 20 but sun is starting to come out in OR
x.
I didn't notice that in the pictures.
I think she actually looks like ZsaZsa Gabor's husband, the prince. lol. I don't think it is Larry B's baby, for some reason I just don't. And if not, I'd really feel bad for him but he should not be jumping the gun considering how many men she supposedly slept with.
But did you not notice, the neck issue
was resolved because the show had fixed her hair in a more becoming manner than did not expose her neck like when she first came on. I noticed the same thing at first but then here at tne end, not sticking out like a sore thumb.
You know what's sad? A lot of people won't even notice the mistake!
I see that one all the time. And my other pet peeve is 's added to make a noun plural.
Here's one that glared at me when my kids were little and attended a Catholic school. The children were in a big procession walking behind their school banner when I noticed it. The name of the school was Our Lady Help of Christians School.
Yep! The banner was printed as Our Lady Help of Christian's.
Back in the days when nuns were teaching in the schools, someone would have gotten a good whack on the knuckles for that one!
Nah, I wouldn't. I notice those things too but...(sm)
I always just let it go.
LOL I didn't even notice the site, just the pic!! NM

I didn't notice her clothing, just her
seal clapping.
I've notice that trend
Girls can't sew even enough to mend, guys don't have a clue about jumping a dead battery or towing a car out of a ditch (heaven forbid changing a tire), and nobody knows how to drive a stick shift any more! Everybody has to call a professional to do the simplest things, it getting pretty creepy! And if its not electronic, nobody wants one, presumably because its soooo difficult to read numbers that a needle is pointing to! I went shopping for a plain old indoor thermometer and could not find a single one that wasn't digital and ran on batteries - even for CAMPING they have digital compasses! - what if your battery died out in the wilderness?
It seems like our focus is on playing with new entertainment gadgets and we totally ignore the need to learn any type of practical skills. I'm 49 and I'm pretty scared that by the time our generation dies off, everyone will be so dependent on gadgets they would be entirely helpless if the power plug got pulled. Its got to be pretty expensive to call a seamstress, or a tow truck, or a carpenter for the simplest things (or simply toss the malfunctioning item), but that's what the following generations will be in for, once the old folks are gone. Nobody is interested in taking care of themselves, its all about what's convenient and easy. Its pretty sad that with our amazing access to internet information, we are learning less and less and consuming more and more, stuffing our landfills with things we are too lazy/incompetent to fix, things that would be a treasure trove of good usable items for our thrifty, well-rounded grandparents!
I do not watch DWTS but did notice
on the previews, etc. I thought Shawn was what I would call stubby, not graceful at all, I thought sorta chunky myself.
Got an eviction notice today.
My paychecks have been so small for the last couple of months. I have not paid my rent for this month and already have a dispossessory notice.
I just moved into this apartment at the end of last month because it was less expensive than the place I lived before.
Sad.
I actually am starting to feel better, and
I really appreciate the prayers. I still have not heard from my brother, though he promised to call me. However, even though he and his family are going through a terrible time with the loss of his wife's mother, at least she has now said that she thinks they should make the long drive and visit us. That will be wonderful.
LOL! I also go to the gym every day before starting work
It gives me tons of energy so I don't need as much coffee!
