Wait, now I'm bored...

I don't like beer (aside from "ginger") either.

Cheers,
Marc (but I still come from a land downunder

1. Back is killing me;
2. However, massively happy about finding a nearly impossible to find recording (the only CD of it I ever found for sale was $300 .... ouch), for only $30;
3. And, moving all of my data to my netbook (the ASUS Eee PC with the 500GB hard drive), in preparation for rebuilding my Toshiba U405;
4. While, still fighting with Microsoft Publisher and trying to get my newsletter in some sort of semi-professional looking format;
5. After taking the dogs to the vet (one got a deer tick burrowed into her ear, and you can't take one dog without the other);
6. And picking up one of the cats from the same place;
7. Oh, and mowing the lawn ... almost forgot that.

G'nite everybody. Try not to accidentally eat any vegemite in your sleep.

Sleep well, Ricky.

You'd have to be verrry accurate! These buggers survive two story falls. I've hunted them with pellets guns and unless you get them in the eye, pellets just bounce of their muscular little bodies.

The best solution is a trap. You just relocate them a few kilometers away, preferably near your bosse's house.

I used to have a Black Widow Catapult (slingshot)

It was very accurate and very powerful it was also able to cause more damage than an air rifle...

Or perhaps this is the type of catapult you really need for squirrels...

I felt like a bit of a zombie this morning when I fed the cats, walked and gave the dogs their medications, mowed the drive, did the breakfast dishes, washed the last of the water fountains (started them last night, but I was just too tired to keep going), and generally got ready for the workday.

I'm not certain, but I think today is my birthday (it's not that I don't know when I was born, it's just that I've never celebrated the day, nor did anyone in my family), and it must be because Sandra Moon just called me to wish me a happy birthday. She asked me what I was going to do to celebrate, and I told her I was thinking about a nap.

And, yet another call, this one from an ex-boyfriend from about 30 years ago (son of a country music star from long ago who died recently, Vern Gosdin), not relevant to anything, but then my mind is sort of moving in slo-mo at the moment. If people keep calling me, the nap will not go uninterrupted. Crap.

Erk .... just passed out at the keyboard. Y'all have a nice day.

Happy Birthday RM.

Despite the efforts of the T.T.A. not to give you any more.

Birthday RM ? HAPPY ONES .....

phenomshel · 08-20-2009, 12:26 PM

Happy Birthday, Ricky!

vivaldirules · 08-20-2009, 02:59 PM

Happy Birthday, Ricky! :balloonies:

I don't celebrate birthdays much either but it really wouldn't hurt if you slowed down for just an hour or two, ignored the lawn, the phone, and your computers, and just put your dang feet up and enjoyed breathing deeply for a while. It's not like something's gonna break while you relaxed a little, right?

dreams · 08-20-2009, 03:24 PM

Uh, Ricky..

<-- **poke, <---poke**

Happy Birthday!

**now, back to your regularly scheduled nap

**

Take a moment and enjoy the day.

badgoodDeb · 08-20-2009, 03:59 PM

Happy Birthday! (go back to sleep now....)
