I don't doubt it for a minute.

Bears in freedom ,nice . And cut cat .

terribly sorry hahaha it was givin me the same problems you reported on and i just figured that my post was the starter of page 70(which it was hahaha technically) but now it is fixed! guess i was just really tryin hard to spread the joy haha

Oh, and Jesse, just a bit of karma for the bear-killer: he died at about age 47 (I think.) He was a miserable human being, and had gone around the neighborhood, asking people to dig the hole, and he'd kill the bear. Everyone told him "no," and to leave the bear alone, that they all liked seeing the bear. He actually took his first shot while the bear was on our property. PA Game commish fined him, but he appealed and beat it. But karma may move slowly, and it got him in the end. Douche.

  funny how things work out in the end eh?

I'm happy because my son invited me for dinner tonight, so I'm meetinghim at a restaurant in Toledo at 6:30, then we're going to Costco (hehas a membership).

Both of your boys are so considerate of you.  Taking mom to dinner is a nice night together.  What are you getting as Costco?

He had promised me pumpkin streussel muffins from Costco last week, but they didn't have them until this week, so we went there and he got us each a half dozen.  They're HUGE, and I like to slice them up and freeze them, but my freezer is soooo full.

For dinner, we had melted cheese nachos for an appetizer (couldn't eat them all), delicious batter-dipped deep fried white fish, and french fries with the skins on, a small loaf of bread & butter, Coke for him, and lemonade for me.  At one point I was just swallowing a sip of lemonade when he said something funny, causing it to go down my windpipe, and I nearly choked to death.  It's a lot worse than inhaling Coke.  

When we left I said people probably thought we were drunk.

Wow, Granada is amazing. Went to The Alhambra today, Spains most visited tourist spot. Its an old fortress, I saw the throne room where Ferdinand and Isabella gave Columbus permission to sail to the new world.

I'm at a bar now getting off my feet, and every beer seems to come with free tapas!  I LOVE this town!

What a vacation Hien.  Sounds great.  I do all my traveling through Rick Steves travel shows on radio and TV.  He did one on tapas and Granada and The Alhambra.  I envy you sir.  Are you getting over to Morocco?

The supplies and equipment are all here, and my roofers will be on the job by 8:30 in the morning.

I hope star. that your roofers will do a good job .

Thanks, Colombe.  Everything went great today.   

The main guy said he'll be back in the morning at the crack of dawn to start completely tearing off the back porch roof, and I said good, make a lot of noise so that it will annoy the neighbor on my back side (opposite of my driveway) to pay him back for all the times he's jarred me out of sleep during the night messing around with his garbage cans, which are close to my bedroom window.

Makes me glad that my neighbors are bears and deer and turkey. Not a turkey.

Bwahaha!  I'm so friendly with this neighbor and his wife, that I thought they still worked at Powertrain (Chevrolet) in Toledo, but when I asked him to install some new door knobs for me a couple of weeks ago, he said his wife had been on disability for over 5 years, and that he was downsized out of his job 3 years ago.  I guess my 3 sections of privacy fence really works good. lol

Yeah, roof work is noisy! How your kitty taking it, Star?


It tickled me you were happy the back neighbors were the ones who were gonna hear it most cuz of their annoying garbage cans haha. Made me glad we have to use the standard size big plastic container the town gave us lol. All the garbage guys have to do is put it in position & the automatic arms lift it & dump it for them.

Mannie hated it the first day, but finally ventured out of his bedroom after a few hours.  Today he just layed out in the kitchen while they were pounding right overhead.  They finished up around 1:30. so the house seems eerily quiet.  And the roof looks beautiful.  

Nobody on the block has metal garbage cans (just plastic), and I've never actually seen what was making all the noise, but it always sounds like cans being drug around or knocked together, even though it's nowhere near garbage pickup day.  For the first time ever I got out of bed and knocked on my bedroom window last week at 1:30 a.m., and things got real quiet.  I don't even know who is making the noise, because her son and daughter (both in their 20s) still live there... his 4 are all on their own.

Whenever I see people making a speech or holding a lecture in any sort of public setting, I sneak onto the stage, take the mic and go like:

"Yo person. I'm really happy for you. I'm gon' let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos OF ALL TIME."
