    Good morning y'all

    Checking in :)
    Good morning CES :)
    Good morning all you lovely ladies. :)
    Yay for Puggers!
    Fran, we have gray skies here and some crazy rain came through last night. Looks like tomorrow is gong to brighten up. :thumbs:
    Taking my baby girl to the airport later today, to begin her adventure to Italy. I am such a nervous wreck. For all intents and purposes, she is going alone and I don't like it one bit. She is way too fearless for my liking. :(
    She'll be fine Lost ;)
    Gak. Grumph. Grumble. Spit. Snort. Cough. Scratch. Yawn. Stretch. Blink. Squint. Read.

    Type.

    Morning. :/
    Waking up.
    LOL's, morning ATTY :)
    Oh! So cute, looks uncomfortable :?:
    Still no phone.

    Considering dropping land line. I do have a TracPhone flip-phone that stays in the car
    for emergencies (but have been using it the last FIVE days). Not-legally-"HUS"bear
    upgraded his TracPhone flip to a Samsung "smart"phone and I may do the same... get
    used to it... then drop landline.

    Unacceptable repair time.

    I tried bull:censored:ting the customer service telling them the 93 year-old woman next
    door is also without phone service... and she depends on "LifeLine" in case of a fall...
    and I hope nothing happens and the family sues for phone company negligence. They
    said SHE must call and register a problem report and it would be escalated. I asked how
    she was supposed to call when her phone is out. They just parroted their own response.
    (Truth is, she's been in rehab for over a month... not home.) It was worth a shot.
    :facepalm:
    Good morning Bear ;)

    Good morning, Snails!

    Looks like Puggers is doing just fine, thankfully!

    Lost, certainly appreciate your concern! Sounds like your daughter has a great degree of self confidence!
    Echoing Tib's question about her itinerary!
    Good morning Gracie :)
    Good morning SNAILers, long time since my last visist :D
    Lis darlin' !! :wub:



    And I'm gone! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I refuse to become one of those stooped-over zombies with their face attached
    to a screen as they lumber through the streets and stores. I will NOT text. I will
    NOT play games. I will NOT surf the web.
    Voice calls ONLY.

    yup ;) you do enough of that when you're home! ;)


    and so do i, except for the games part! :lol:

    Gotta trek over to Dad's... says his car has reverted to manual steering (no power steering).

    Sigh.

    Could be...
    ...low fluid
    ...broken belt
    ...broken pump
    ...broken line
    ...bad relay

    He's thinking tie rod(s), but I'm not sure why.

    Anything more than fluid or relay will require a tow. Did I say "sigh"???

    fingers crossed for an easy fix, bear :(

    Thank you! He has AAA (annual birthday gift to him), so tow will be free. The problem
    happened suddenly (like while sitting overnight) as he was backing out of his spot. Glad
    it didn't happen while he was out on the road.

    Annnnnnnd... I need to get moving.

    Later!!!

    Hi lis.

    I refuse to become one of those stooped-over zombies with their face attached
    to a screen as they lumber through the streets and stores. I will NOT text. I will
    NOT play games. I will NOT surf the web. Voice calls ONLY.
    :D :lol:
    Knew THAT was coming.

    I spent 2 years with phone quality problems. That's why I dumped the land-line. 5 days. Pfffft! Although to be fair...it was just static sometimes in my case, not the "phone out" thing. Still, you'll wake up eventually. Nobody is replacing old POTS lines, except with new tech (like fiber)..and new services.

    @ Bear...even if it's out of fluid....the power steering pump could have blown it's bearings/seal. So if you put more in, it will just leak out. So you'd have to monitor it. If that's it.
    careful with that tagging, atty! ;) that bear was last seen years ago! :D

    gone now!

    Methinks you tagged the wrong Bear, Atty!! Doubt if you'll get an answer considering he never posted a thing once he joined...:shock:
