The Lurker Thread

[Rat2chat2]

My second cousin that lives next door (yes the one that should help his grandmother) was one of the 96 passengers on the Delta flight that had to do a crash landing this morning. Bless his heart. I know that had to be some kind of scary. It does not happen often so I am not going to let it deter me from flying one day. He was so funny telling me about it today. He said it was only a 39-minute flight so he did not go to the restroom before he boarded. He still has to go back tomorrow to Charlotte (an hour away) to get his luggage. They would not give it to them today. I hope he gets some flyer miles or discounts for the added trouble and for having the bejesus out of himself.

Dan is getting to go home again this weekend. I offered to drive down there but he said he needed some time to himself. He said he did not want me driving on a holiday weekend. Nothing wrong with taking some time to chill but I must admit, it sort of hurt my feelings. I really do think I could make the 12-hour trip. I did so well with the 5 and the 8 hour ones. Maybe one day I will get to see Florida.

So far I have no plans for the weekend.

Anyone else got some big 4th plans?

Good morning lurkers

Italian is my favorite! Glad you had a good time, Rat2. Especially glad your cousin is ok. Sorry about Dan.

Both sides of family is supposed to be coming on Saturday. Hopefully the smoke and predicted showers don’t mess that up.

Have a great day!

Hi Joey
Sorry you have to work on the holiday, at least you get OT , I always had to work holidays but without the OT benefits.

Good evening lurkers

Stinks you have to work on the 4th, but hopefully the ot will make up for it.

Our office is only closed for the holiday.
Egg wraps for dinner (omelet on a flour tortilla) they are high in protein/fiber and yummy.

Hope everyone had a decent day!

My day was pretty much the same ole same ole except DH came home a lot more times than usual.

I made a couple of hamburger patties and salads for our supper, too hot for much else. 96 degrees last I looked.

Good night everyone

Went to the gym yesterday and got my steps and then my friend texted me and said he was bring back my aunt's mower. Wish I had known that the day before. heehee I don't mind helping her. Her son was coming in from SC so I had her yard looking very nice.

I was going to go up in the attic again today even though it was almost too hot but then I got a wild hair evidently and took a shower and grab my bag that I have started keeping ready to go somewhere.

Decided to go visit my friends Gary and Paula who moved away several years ago. It was only 80 some miles. That is just a hop, skip, and jump for me considering the places I have started driving. I love just being able to up and go and not have to ask permission from a single soul.

I think it is supposed to rain this weekend. Today is the first day I have noticed all the haze from the fires so it has reached NC.

Still not sure what I will be doing the 4th but as long as I am having fun, that's okay with me.

Happy Friday to everyone. Enjoy your day.

Good morning lurkers

Have fun on your trip, Rat2!

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning Rat2 and Sara Happy Friday Sara

Y’all it’s 80 degrees this morning already Actually it’s 79 but it’s pretty much the same. High says 98 so that could go either way.

Glad you got out of the house and visited some friends Rat2 .

I really need to quit "going" so much. I think I start working on getting rid of everything in the house and then it overwhelms me and I just run away.

I know it will get done eventually and it is just going to take time. I just don't have as much patience as I used to.

 

[Rat2chat2]

I talk to Paula every week but I have not seen Gary in a good while. When he got home last night from his Gambler's Anonymous meeting, we talked until almost 3 this morning. I met Gary when I was a teller in the drive-thru at the bank back in 1978. The year I graduated from high school. My gosh, that is 45 years. I refuse to think that I am getting OLD.

heehee

 

[Rat2chat2]

I am feeling a little sad today. I am not sure why but I think it is because if I had not gotten a divorce, today it would have been my 40th wedding anniversary. Guess I should be thinking that I am much happier than I have ever been. I did fail at my marriage and I am not very good at having a relationship with anyone either evidently.

I try so hard to stay positive about everything but sometimes, it just does not work. One thing for sure. . . this too shall pass.

 

[Rat2chat2]

I forgot to mention that Gary brought home donuts after the meeting last night. There were 3 chocolate-covered ones in the box. They are not there now.

 

[daleron]

Good morning Rat2
It’s okay to be a little sad about the past but it is the past and it’s okay to forgive yourself

 

[Sara Love]

Now’s prolly not a good time to tell you I was 2 when you met Gary I don’t think those chocolate donuts would have been safe around me either. Lol i agree with Dale, its ok to be sad but remember, you would not be who you are today if you hadn’t gone through all of that. Youse good people, Rat2!!!

Ohh Dale, I want it to be warm but that’s a little too warm first thing in the morning. It’s 78 with rain at 1pm. And the AQI is 169. 5pm can’t come soon enough. Lots to do.

 

[daleron]

Good evening everyone

‘Supper was good tonight even if I say so. Roast beef with mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes and green beans, even Bela ate well
Yeah she’s spending the weekend again.


It’s hot y’all! 97

 

[Sara Love]

Yum Dale, that does sound really good. Enjoy your weekend with Bela ouchie!! Sorry for those temps.

We had takeout, no time to cook and I need fridge space for tomorrow.

I got all I cared to do done for tonight. Will get up tomorrow to finish. Gonna go read and relax my mind for a bit. Sweet dreams
