The REO Lounge - Part IV

BTW - the best fried rice of the lot - is some stuff Smurf makes, we just call it Smurfie rice - the correct name so you can find a recipe is nasi goreng, and it's an Indonesian dish that comes very very close to the top of favourite foods of people internationally.

Sounds good. I looked it up. Easy and tasty is good for me.

same deal with noodles - and let's face it - every American has those is just a variation on a theme - bami goreng. I like both!

I travel all over the world and marry these chefs, just because....

Well I made fried rice for the first time. It was good...long grain brown with sauteed peppers and onion, scrabled eggs, soy sauce all mixed up and sloppy joes too. strange mix of foods.

Hi Ed. Ed, I got a complaint on you from the Director of Services in Reoville. Apparently you've been leaving your garbage out on Tuesday for pick up on Wednesday. Just a warning here. We don't want this to go any farther if you get my drift. Oh yeah, one of your neighbors complained about the height of your snow banks around your driveway. THey find them to be a hazard. If you could just chop them down to size I'm sure everything will be forgotten.

Have a good day!

LMAO. Laurin, I'm a huge fan of your posts. Hope you're having an awesome day my friend.

Living off the government.
I've paid taxes since I was 15....seriously, hardship license and off to work I went-picking blueberries, hauling hay and working at a plant nursery. Already had a couple pretty good babysitting and cleaning houses gigs by that time too. I worked hard, saved when I could. Worked my way through college and was finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel when I made it to the big time of the upper lower class making a little over 40 grand a year. Put my meager, but hard earned life savings into a little house and the walls came tumbling down. My medical insurance covered the first surgery, and my job stuck by me until the other shoe fell and I needed more surgery. I had to walk away from my little house, including the down payment and remodeling money I had already sunk into it. After exhausting every other avenue I could see, Cobra insurance cost more than I made, my insurance at the time denied coverage because of "pre-existing condition", nobody in my working class family able to throw down at least 160,000 for medical care, I went on disability so that I can hopefully get fixed and get back to the work I love.
Now that I've been in this position and have been in the social security offices and food stamp offices, sure, I see the parasites that drive up with the bling, bling and big attitudes....but I also have seen professionals that had their lives turned upside down, elderly with nobody that gives a damn, and folks in wheel chairs and walkers. I do not think most folks have "Live off the government" in their career plan or choose this route without having had a few hardships and nowhere else to turn. Living on less than a fourth of my previous wages hasn't been a picnic, but I have been extremely grateful for a country that hasn't just let me completely rot in a gutter because my body gave out before its time.



And good morning, REOvil!

Aw JenYou're always so upbeat and lively that it's hard to remember the hell you've already gone thru and might have to go thru again.If i could, I'd strive really hard to keep an attitude like you have.I think you're a beautiful, awesome, thoughtful generous woman.

Shameless Gramma and Talos selfie. Got to see and cuddle with my littlest grandbaby this afternoon....it was magic.

 

[JC Okie]

OMG, Lisa. Adorable. Holding a baby --- a GRANDBABY --- is magical. I can feel the magic from way down here in Oklahoma. My best moments in life have been when I've had one of my babies or my grand babies in my arms.

How cute! Both of you!!! Babies are so soft and cuddly!

 

[Rhapsodies Fire]

He's a stretcher....doesn't like to be bundled...so he was all stretched out and I was tickling him....he's a grumbler. It's so cool how he looks like a normal baby...since he came out 4 weeks early, we was pretty scrawny.

Move south a few states? LOL! You will have a glorious summer there Ed! We will all be jealous of your temps and sunny weather!!!

That ice is killer. Be careful sweetie!!!

Hi Sweetness. I had my slip on ice cleats on my boots . Not worth slipping as I'm always the first one out there, before any sand/salt goes down. I can see me about 4 am flat on my back saying, "Help? .... Anyone?"
