USMB Coffee Shop IV

[ChrisL]

I'm so glad I don't have to work outside. If I had to work outside in this heat, I would get sick and probably throw up. I feel so sorry for the guys who have to work outside for a living, especially when you have to be on the highway on the black top and stuff . . . or on a roof! Yowsa! It must get REALLY hot up there. I've heard guys say that it can melt the bottoms of their boots . . . or maybe that's hot tar?

I like helping people with problems, they also seem to pay me to boot.

I like helping people with problems too. But I don't usually get paid. I must not be doing it right.

QuickBooks helps.

The basement leak is especially rewarding. A company told my customers it would be $25,000 to cure the problem. I have billed them about $200.

Good evening coffee shop people! This place is dead tonight, huh?

 

[Ringel05]

Been busy today mostly cleaning and going through more boxes of stuff...... We still have too much stuff......

 

[Gracie]

Worked in the yard today and forgot the vet appt for Karma. Damn. So I take her tomorrow at 11:00am. (rash on belly and leg).

But I got a lot of crap done in the back yard and shed. Supposed to be not so hot soon. Below average, where this past week we were above average. Perfect time to get more stuff done.

Plus, waiting for roofer to contact me for an estimate for a new roof. Most all of them said they can't do it til January! oy.

That great news Foxfyre.
A good nights sleep always does wonders.

Saturdays grin

OK, I confess, the LGD (livestock guardian dog) I own is neglected by any house dog's standards. I had to laugh though when I brought her up to brush out some mats. I had to force her to lay on her back, not difficult because I trained to be canine submissive from the beginning. (That means I am the 'alpha' and when I grab her throat, she rolls over and submits to me...almost mandatory when dealing with a dog over 100 lbs.) So, I force her on her back and begin brushing...whoa!!! It's like "I'm yours, do with me what you will!" Belly rubs...oh, yeah...bring 'em on!!

 

[gallantwarrior]

I don't sleep well because the puppy wakes me up every hour or two whining.

But I breathe fine!

Aww! A new "parent". Comes with the territory, the up side is, as the puppy matures, the whining decreases. I'll never adopt a puppy again, if I can help it.

 

[gallantwarrior]

That made me laugh hard enough to almost pee my pants!

 

[gallantwarrior]

Talking of sleep, I had a really vivid dream last night in which my legs floated up out of my body and I felt as if I was about to astral travel. I was almost completely conscious, but then I snapped out of it and woke up completely. I would love to finally be able to astral travel out of my body and confirm for myself that it is possible. But I think it was just a vivid dream.

It is possible, D., it just takes practice. Good luck with your efforts. I haven't had much reason to astral travel of late, so I stay home. (I used to travel to visit my Mom, but she's been gone now many years.)

 

[gallantwarrior]

I am soooo glad I do not have to go to work at the airport the next few days! My drive in usually takes me through downtown Anchorage. Because we have a VIP inflicting his presence on Alaska, all vehicular, pedestrian, and other traffic are suffering MAJOR disruptions, particularly our regular air traffic. Considering that it is estimated that 1 in 4 people have private pilots' licenses, that 1 in 10 people here own a plane, that it is hunting and fishing season and many people fill their larders this time of year, it's a brutal imposition (at best) to limit GA traffic.

Been a few years since I've "traveled". I miss it now that I am reading about it. Next warm sunny day, I might go bebopping. My last trip was to Australia to visit an online friend, but I missed her house and landed on the beach near her home.

I find it helps that if you don't have a very specific idea of location that you have a firm connection with the person. When I first travelled to visit my mother, she had moved from NC to NV and I had not yet visited. I still found her and she actually saw/felt me there with here. Up until that time, I visited her in the family home in NC.
Given the situation with my daughter/granddaughters, I may have to 'travel' again.

 

[Gracie]

What is going on with that possible situation of SKorea? Astral travel would sure be cheaper..and probably safer what with NK acting up again.
My last trip to that beach of hers was not a good one. It was quite sad, in fact. Funny (not) that I can remember it still even in detail. I haven't tried it since then. I lol at the attempt, but the actual trip was not pleasant.

 

[Foxfyre]

Good morning!

I'm all ready to start my day. I have to take my mom to the doctor this morning and I'm just killing some time until it's time to go! She's not sick or anything. It's just a routine appointment.

 

[Foxfyre]

Morning Chris--you were up and about really early this morning weren't you. Being the designated driver to get my aunt and uncle and occasionally other folks to the doctor for routine and extra appointments--eye doctors, dentists, primary care doctors, specialists etc.--and they all have a LOT of them--I can relate. But bless you for taking care of your mom. I sometimes wonder when I can no longer drive myself, who will be driving me?

A beautiful morning here after a nice rain shower last night. Hombre will have his volunteer duty at the gift shop this afternoon but will leave a bit early as we have to be at the restaurant at 5 p.m. to help my aunt and uncle celebrate their 49th anniversary. They were both 40 when they married--her 2nd marriage and his first (I think--I don't recall him ever mentioning an ex.) And because they are both going strong, it looks like they'll make their 50th wedding anniversary too, and that is pretty amazing.

Hope everybody is having a great Tuesday.
