Well the furnace repair person is here and he can fix it, I do not have to get a new one :D Who would have ever thought I would be happy with an unexpected $600 repair bill...but it is better than the $2500 for a new heat pump!
So keep up the Irish coffee until the heat is turned back on!
Okay, Christmas shopping done (Sorry, but I borrowed the orc to help with the crowds, he's back at work now)
One God's Blessing (for those of you who aren't Spider Robinson fans, that's an Irish Coffee), and I'll join whoever is on the couch. Anyone mind if I put in the George C Scott Christmas Carol again?
One big AAARRGH to the idiots who think that the highway is a place to drive like they're in NASCAR.........My truck doesn't stop as quickly as your little Hyundai, I hope whoever you are you need to go change your shorts!
Hey LH, good idea using ORC for crowd control! I may have to borrow him! I heard him tossing the logs around outside. I like the George C. Scott version of A Christmas Carol. A double eggnog for me, please!

If you are off the road for the rest of the day you get a LARGE OGB.....I read Time pressure (?) years ago.....I'll have to look back into that author. Thanks for the tip!
ETS, I always look at a repair bill as a donation to a college fund! :rolleyes:
MOFF,
If you asked for PT Prayers you will probably get them!
Could I just get a 7 up? My tummy is upset. I wonder if life will ever be "normal" again. I'm hoping God has a nice house picked out for me and will help me find it and get there. It will take a miracle to get me and the cats moved. But this is the season of miracles, eh? ;)
Chicken that I am, I'm afraid to get off the Internet because then my phone line will be free for her to call and scream at me some more. My blood pressure and tummy just can't take any more today. :(
Richard, try starting with "Callahan's Cross Time Saloon"
You'll love Ralph Von Wau Wau
One 7-up for you .....Quote:

"YOU CHEAP BIATCH, If you had fixed the sewer the electricians would NOT have turned your SCROOGE ARSE in to the city...IF that don't work give me her number.....
IT's all her fault not yours.....the city will condemn the property and she is out of the rent she would get had you stayed.
Believe it or not, she said the sewer gunk in the basement was MY fault!Quote:

MOFF, check into any renter's rights organizations in your town. Sounds to me like finding a new place to live might be a blessing in disguise. Any landlord should be thrilled to have someone like you who pays her rent on time every month and doesn't cause problems. She will realize how good she had it with you once you're gone.
How 'bout some eggnog bartender....which, for some odd reason reminds me....thanks Richard! I opened your card in the car while Terry and I were on our way to a movie, so I had to explain why there was a dollar in it....and also what the picture of the ring was for......thanks. :p :D
Good morning everyone! Yipee! We only have to work a half day today....guess you all do too???
MOFF: How about packing up your stuff and moving in with me? ;) I'm so sorry that you are having such trouble and you know that we are all praying for you. As others have said, all things happen for a reason and I do believe that there is another house just waiting for you. As for what Debbie said, I was thinking the same thing. Here: http://www.hud.gov/local/ks/renting/tenantrights.cfm Will this help you?
There are four bottles of Baileys on the counter and I've put some fresh coffee on. Help youselves and I'll check back later.
{{{hugs}}} to all.
xoxo
Good afternoon all, and Merry Christmas! :)
MOFF, I'm sorry to hear about your housing situation. :( Something's gotta be done!! :mad: Take Debbie's advice and contact some renter's rights organization - look into the link Slick posted. I wish you the best of luck!! I'll try to send you the mail again, MOFF!
I'm been busy nonstop all day, so I could do with a drink now .... can't decide what, so you just pour what you think fit. ;) Fister is now blocking my view .... almost, but it's cosy to have him here in front of the screen. :)
Edit: LOL ! Fister just managed to scroll down for me. I should train him to hit the backbotton too - or even go to next page! :D
R, could you PM me your e-mail address, please?
Moff sorry to hear of the move I understand after 11 years 4 of us moving ekks it was major cleaning session.
Barkeep, please keep the 7 up coming. That seems to be the only thing I can keep down.
No irrate calls yet from the landlady which tells me the plumbers haven't given her the "good news" yet.
Thanks for all the support everyone. Going through this alone is the pits. :(
I don't want to know what I'D have to move. :rolleyes:Quote:

Yup, some of us do. Danged attorneys! Some are nice, like the one who's on his holiday today, but the other one .... :rolleyes: has to have someone served with a lawsuit the day before Xmas! There otter be a law! Even the process server is grumbling, but they will get it done. Bah Humbug and a lump o' coal in her stocking!Quote:

Greetings to all - happy pre-Christmas Eve!
I only (thankfully) had to work 1/2 a day and as soon as lunch is done, I'm going shoe shopping.
It's a blustery day here - suppose to make it into the 80s but doubt that it does. Feel free to send snow my way; I wanted a white Christmas, dangit!
Barkeep, a white xmas, please?

Had a good day today, and got news the motorhome will be ready in the morning. So we're up at 5:00 am, leave at 6:00 am to get there by 7:30 am which means we can be on our way by 9:30 am at the latest. Yes, we decided to still head to Florida, but the panhandle instead of the Keys. So....we'll see how far we make it this time. :rolleyes: If it breaks down again I'm going to just leave it sit on the side of the road and drive the Tracker home. ;) :)
Slick, hope you had a nice afternoon off. :) MOFF, maybe she knows the news but is finally realizing she's going to have to do something if she wants to continue to rent the place out. Zippy, we're supposed to have flurries tomorrow night so if you can make it here before then.... ;)
Don't know when I'll be able to check in again so just wanted to say Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

:D
'Twas the night after thursday # 138
And the Bartender's tired,
His patrons are up late.
Whew! Santa's done with his shopping (Never trust that everything you ordered is IN the box)
Lady's passed out on the couch. (I think she's finally getting used to Mario, and vice versa)
T+P, good luck with the trip, I should have piped up earlier about the Hydraulic fluid viscosity, but Phred beat me to it. Hopefully everything's in order, driving back in the tracker would be a big disappointment.
Zippy, I'd mail you a box of snow, but it would be melted by the time it got to you! :D
MOFF, Zipster is right (of course) none of us will ever have to "go it alone" as long as we are here, pulling strings with "the Big Guy" and holding each other up. Congrats Debbie and safe and laughing trip and holiday to you! RICHARD, what kind of mischief are you getting our mascots into now?? HI PHRED!! How's tricks? Can I get you some broccoli? :p Oh, well how about some fruit kabobs? *sorry, just want to keep you around a while* ;) Love to you all and I'll check in this evening. We can sit around the fire and sip warm comfort and smile at each other waiting for Sandy Paws and the sleigh bells!
HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE MORNING EVERYONE!!!
I'm feeling a bit perkier today. I posted why on my prayer thread!
I even managed to eat some veggie soup and a marshmallow last night (not together so don't go YUCK). I may even try eating again today!!! ;)
Still need the 7 up though. Do you have it in gallon buckets? :D
LoL! Thanks for all the snow offers... maybe if ya'll put it in zippy-lock bags and packed it in dry ice? (What is dry ice even used for? I know we used to get it at Halloween because it "smoked.") Aw well, it's the thought that counts! ;)
Funny story about "gallon buckets"....
Thursday night, a budget truck pulled up in front of our house and the UPS man delivered a package. (You heard that right; this year, the UPS men are driving budget trucks for some reason.)
We didn't recognize the sender and as it was addressed to dad, had to wait for him to get out of the shower to open it. Open it he did, and pulls out a gallon of Aloe Vera multi-purpose stuff! :eek: So, um... thanks to someone (still not sure who) for a gallon of Aloe Vera! lol
Good morning everyone! Didn't sleep much last night....on the phone to Randi at 3am....on the phone to Chris at 7am....tried to call Laurie at after that....went back to bed at 8am....now I have to get my butt in gear.
Heading on down to the post office to mail a few things to Pet Talkers... :o Gee, I guess it won't get there for Christmas. Duh!!!!
The weather here is nothing short of nasty. It's pouring buckets (sorry Zip... :D ) and it's one of those days where you don't want to get out of bed.
MOFF: I'm glad to see that you are a bit better. I'll check out the thread. Big {{{hugs}}} to you my friend.
One Spanish Coffee for the road please Richard. Well, actually the road doesn't drink so I'll have it for him.....
HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE!!! Don't forget the milk and cookies for Santa.
hokay,
Just like I told you all yesterday..
Mario, Help Possum up......Come here, Lady,,
Orc, Once around the bar.......Mario, when we hit the steps on the patio, Lady will bark, Then open the door and jump on back of the sled....
One.....two......THREE........
GO ORC GO.....
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL HO HO HO HO......
Possum, hold ON!!!!!!
BARK! LADY BARK!..
WHOAAAAAAAAA, almost lost my beard...
Jump MARIO....
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!
MERRY XMAS TO YOU ALL......

UPS GUY in a Budget Rental Ride???
YUP!
"HE" was probably a "Seasonal Extra Driver" ...
and when UPS runs low on "The Big Brown Trucks" -
they RENT extra Trucks, too.
:)
MERRY CHRISTMAS SANTA!!!
WHAT A FINE SLEIGHFUL OF ELVES YOU HAVE THIS YEAR!!!! :D
Good morning gang, I'm so busyy baking more stuff to take tomorrow to daughters as much as I'm taking I should have just had her bring her turkey here.
Merry Christmas to all and don't have too much cheer and then get on the road.
Richard you need Glacier to give you and that team a few lessions.
Heard the other night on the news that UPS had to rent 7,000 trucks for the Christmas season - 7,000 trucks!!!! :eek: And that doesn't count the extra drivers they had to hire to drive those trucks.Quote:
