The REO Lounge - Part II

[vsummer1]

But if I go then I'll miss these little chats of ours vsummer. Nope, I'm not gonna do it. You're stuck with me like stink on a monkey.

You ever smell the stink on a monkey? In HS I had a boyfriend with a damn monkey named Billy. Billy did not like me. I was walking by that monster's cage and the little stupid monkey bit me in my ..... I HATE MONKEYS. With good reason. And they smell horrible. Nasty little creatures, nothing cute about them.

Must you make it a monkey? How about something a little less mean and teethy?

Maybe a nook isn't blue light if it is black and white? Heck I just look stuff up. I don't really know about it

Hazard of my old job. When in doubt, look it up. I was always double checking, even if I knew what needed to be done. You can never know enough when you are holding lives in your hands. Ahh, the good old days.

This one is a tablet, so full color. But the only two things I do on it at night is read a book (black & white) or play sudoku (black & white)...and it's like a sleeping drug. But this is interesting. I need to read up more on this blue light. thanks, Val!

I won't open up old wounds with Billy. Analogies aside, I can honestly say the more I come to know you the more respect I have because you're a straight shooter and back it up with facts not just hearsay and conjecture. Proud to call you a friend.

One day maybe we can sing "Kumbaya" and do trust falls.

Thanks. I do try to back up my BS with a link if I can. Sometimes I baffle myself with the stuff that pops into my head, and I have to look it up to recall how the heck I knew that! I get lucky sometimes

Interesting, Val. I wonder if I'm not registering the blue light on my nook when I read at night. after we go to bed, I read a while until Wayne is asleep. I snore...not obnoxiously, but enough that makes it impossible for Wayne (who suffers from insomnia) to fall asleep. So I read....perhaps the black and white on the screen tells my brain its time to sleep because I can't do it long before I'm dropping my nook on my forehead.

I have a nook color and turned it into an android. I use it to watch Netflix now too. It does everything my smart phone does, except when it wants to "call" I am like you're a nook stupid, not a phone!

Sorry, no trust falls... I fell backwards the night after surgery and never, ever want to go through that terror. Not that I wouldn't trust you, it would just freak me out.

BTW, not sure if I mentioned this, but the Dr. said I may have actually done myself a favor and that all that crunching I heard on my way down was most likely scar tissue breaking up. Ironically, the nerve block that caused the fall blocked most of the pain and may have sped up my PT

And Monday Doc gave me the go ahead for PT. I am waiting for an appointment. I already have the extension back I think, am at about a 90 degree bend, and have been doing leg lifts and hip adbuctor strengthening. The xray looks really, really good and we didn't see any bone fragments, just the bit of metal that was inbedded in the bone from before. Things looked pretty darn good! The best it has looked in over a year. It still hurts like crazy though. I took a pain pill tonight, first one in a over a week I think. I was eating dinner and tears came out of my eyes from the pain so DH thought perhaps I shouldn't suffer so much and just take the damn pills. Then gave me a lecture on why I should be doing MORE walking not less. The man is a mystery sometimes.

I'm afraid I'm one sappy-hearted "liker", Redhat. I like you all...I really like you. Call me Sally.

Care to expand on that, Val???

I'm not baffled at all. I think what you're describing are the mannerisms of an elite catagory of people who don't take "the internet" for granted. Generally, older folks. The way I see it, you're cruisin' down the information superhighway with the top down in a hot ride and should be smiling the whole way through! Luck equals preperation plus opportunity. I heard that on Oprah once so it's gotta be true.

No comment. I can't imagine what you're going through. I'm happy you found some relief in the midst of it all.

I never said anything before about it, because I know for some misguided reason she actually likes the things, but he said stinky monkey and I have a good reason to hate them so I spilled it. I am sure she will understand that someone who was terrorized by a pet monkey wouldn't like the smelly, hateful, nasty, toothy things.

I will NEVER forget Billy. That monkey hated me, he would start screaming and bearing its huge nasty sharp teeth the minute he saw me. I even tried to feed the ungrateful little ....... so it would be more friendly and the little monster threw the food at me. After that, every time I got in range it thew whatever crap it could find at me. My BF thought it was hilarious that the monkey hated me. I kept trying to be friendly up until it bit me when my back was turned. It was a serious issue when blood was drawn, my blood! That was the last straw for me. It's nasty little cage was in the hallway and when I would come over they had to either cover it or move it so it would stop screaming and doing that damn jumping up and down and snarling. Damn Billy the monkey.

 

[beckyblue]

Billy did not well-represent some fine, upstanding monkey brethren. Just one bad, little ....... monkey, I say!!

NO!

He liked everyone else. We never could figure out why it hated me. I never did anything to it, and we were all stumped. One day out of the blue, Billy just decided to terrorize me. Quite effectively. Those things can move fast, have good aim, squeal with that high pitched scream, and have nasty teeth. All in one little package. Billy was NOT cute like the pictures Karen posts, he was a mean ball of hate directed right at me.

 

[beckyblue]

Many of your posts are hard to exactly "like", Val. Don't wanna seem liked I'm just thrilled that you were terrorized by a deranged monkey!

I am a firm believer that waxing does really help our wood REO's!

Since almost all of mine have come from the classy's I have received some that looked like they were never waxed. They would sure soak it in. It makes a world of difference in the inside and on the back of the door. The color and grain will show and with a little time they once again look like the awesome REO that was first sold.

The protection it gives is just another plus. Juice wipes right off a good wax job!!!.............

Morning Fine REO Folk...... Couple more hours work and down for a few winks. Sissy Dog is doing "ship DH out" in the a.m." and PO and UPS run for me. Maybe a couple of bank runs so I can catch a couple hours winks at daylight.

We have several tons of Goodwil stuff. Sure miss my big truck.

How else in the universe do my Woodys and Woodvils withstand frequent "swim" session in hot spa water if not for thoroughly impregnated with Howard's. The hard past wax (Howard's - the hardest furniture past wax I've ever used and it has UV protection) on exterior is mainly for asthetics. (Although it does protect from wear of all finishes and microscopic scratching).

Love and hugs, Feisty Alice

Happy happy b-day (I think cappy and nutz)

Is anyone else watching the walking dead marathon? It started last night. I have all the episodes on DVR, but am watching it anyway. I love seeing the characters at the beginning and comparing them to how they are now.

I haven't ever seen Deadwood that you all talk about. Can you tell me what station did it? I have on demand and all the pay ones too, but we don't have netflix. We pay enough for all the pay channels we figured we didn't need it. I have the Wii at the condo and we talked about putting it here, but I said not since I didn't want to get carried away playing it and possibly hurt myself. So if it is Netflix I can't get it.
