OT Please remember those lost on this day...
Comments (3)Rest In Peace to all those who passed away on that terrible day 10 years ago. It's a day I will never forget. I remember seeing the dark smoke from my house. I remember when I was little when I would look up from the street to the top of the World Trade Center buildings, and I was never able to actually see where the building ended because of the glare from the sun. I remember how worried people were about their loved ones and friends who were fighting that day and those who were also worried for the many who were just going to work in Lower Manhattan that day. It's a day that changed this country forever, and a day that I would never want to be repeated again, but always to be remembered for the heroes who risked their lives for strangers and the innocent people who died. -Alex...See MoreOT..ever have one of those days....LOL
Comments (10)I found my missing Fall bin! I had previously said if I (later on) found it in my Christmas storage, I'd scream loud enough for you to hear. Well I did find it with other Christmas bins....thankfully now instead of in Dec... but I almost screamed anyway! You see the "Gi-normous" blue bin? It is totally FULL of Fall. It feels like bricks are in there, I could barely drag from garage into family room! I didn't do anything so far but lift the lid to confirm it was Fall. The size and weight of this thing is REALLY scary! Especially as I unpacked 4 other Fall bins, the size of the green one, and you saw how much I've decorated. Holy Purple Cow! Maybe this one should have STAYED missing! Sheesh. It was in one of the places I'd looked THREE times already. Guess one should never stop looking, huh? I have a corner in the garage with Christmas bins, most all the size of the green one cause that is an easy size for me to lift and carry. Tho I do have some the next size up for garlands as I have so many of them. This blue one, needless to say, was on the bottom of the stack. And I was POSITIVE all my big Xmas garlands were stored in there. POSITIVE, I tell you! Of course if I had any working brain cells left, when I put it out there last year and had clearly written FALL on it in a big black marker, I'd have made sure the lettering faced the FRONT and not the garage wall. Arrrrrggghhhh. Anyway, this evening, out of frustration after previously checking all the green bins before... without having to move any of them... I moved all of them and looked in the blue one just to prove to myself it did hold the Xmas garland. Wish you'd seen my face when I saw what I saw. And glad I couldn't see the look of horror that it must have showed. Especially when I went to move it. (I swear there has to be bricks in there!!) I probably will have to drag it out on the back porch in the morning as I can't have it, or a mess of stuff, in my family-room cause company is coming over. The man who wrote Jason's book is coming back to go thru my photos, and the memorabilia (articles, magazines, etc) I've collected since he was burned. He'll probably be here around 2 hrs. The book is at the publisher waiting for photos. Will be ready to order soon hopefully. (Jas and Russ both will sign copies for any of you who want it by the way. Unfortunately I don't know the price yet) Well, my back is screaming at me for dragging that bin and moving all the others full of Xmas things, so I better go move around and treat myself to some Vicodin. If I was smart I'd throw them out and get some Vodka. LOL. Probably be cheaper and I'd probably be more fun to be around. hugs, Karen PS...Marlene, how neat you and I almost share the same anniversary day....See MoreIt's Just One of those Days....
Comments (9)oh man--how AGGRAVATING! but i'm sure this tale would have made your friends appreciate your meal even more, as well as give them a good laugh! and anyone who cooks at all has had more than a couple of those moments. i think there were about 8 of us here for a late afternoon lunch and due to the folks that were coming, i planned a "meat" dish and a fish dish. my husband had stopped at the store the night before to pick up a few haddock fillets which i was stuffing with crab or something. anyway, i was replenishing the appetizers and a friend asked what she could do to help and i asked her to rinse the fish. she opened up the paper and and it got quiet. and i turned around and said "what is it?" she said "san, the fish is bad. BAD." it was a long trip back to the store with my not very fresh fish to get replacements and back home again to finish the meal for my friends! really pretty annoying, even if it is funny now!...See MoreOT: Felt like an OT type of day
Comments (3)We have used the same contractor for many large and small jobs in two houses. We secretly call him "Eldin" - we're going on seven seasons now. He does fastidious but slow work. Took him a week to tile a shower with 4x4s on the diagonal - every one got tap,tap,tapped until it was perfect. His work is excellent or we'd never put up with him. :D He's coming back in a month or two to do another bathroom. We will never learn. lol...See Morecpartist
