Ghoulies HMs and margaritas (Page 3)

very dis-spirited over the election in NC. The folks in now are very extreme, goal to privatize schools, eliminate most env regs, build bigger, wider roads (esp in the mountains) and reduce the size and number of state parks, among other things. All things that I care deeply about. Oh yah, and there is my job that has a good chance of being eliminated.

Sometimes I wish people could step back and see the end result of the choices they want to make before they actually make them.

That would be nice. I wish people gave a chit about who and what they screw while getting what they think they want. I am pretty bitter today, I will spare you all.

Have wonderful days!

If you need to vent, this is the place.

The more time I spend around people the more I want to spend time with my pups.

AMEN!!! speaking of that, toting dogs to the vet is extreme strength work, if they are like mine. Lots of urging, pulling, tugging etc.

The boy came along, I couldn't have taken then both by myself. We couldn't get Wynn on the scale, I had to wrestle with her. She may have been a little embarassed, at 90.1 pounds, she's too heavy. Milo was better than I expected him to be, which is good for a 169.1 pound dog.

Both got shots. Milo growled at the vet. She didn't take it personally. She said it seemed more like he was protecting me from her, than he was going to do anything to her. When she was done he ate treats out of her hand.

We got home and both dogs were tuckered out. Milo went right to his crate and didn't move the rest of the evening. Caleb sat down in a recliner and put his feet up, and Wynn fell asleep under his feet. He had to climb out on the side of the chair to go to bed.

Yah, but this is the one haven I have from the vitriol of politicalism. I vow to keep it that way.

I am still bitter, though.

Fair enough

You can email me, or send me a fb message to vent

Thanks. I am going to just work on letting it go. I am only ruining my day, and I ain't gonna get this one back.

New topic

Pick one

*margaritas - traditional or flavored?

*sunscreen - what spf?

*puppies - is there anything cuter? and I don't want to see anyone say kittens!

*bacon - crispy or floppy?

*books - what are you reading?

* lights - on or off?

I'm not familiar with the anatomy of a soy bean. Which part of it do they get the bacon from?

Good day Ghoulies!

Thank you for not talking politics!  Politics sucks and ruins friendships.

I want to retire and raise service dogs.

It is the beginning of November and I am waiting to hear back from those positions I applied for.  The one position said that they would be reviewing applications end of Oct, beginning of Nov.  The other, I have never heard anything from.  I am beginning to wonder if they even received it although, i did send it both electronically and snail mail.  I am actually thinking that I might not even want the position since I think (know) the commute would be the commute from HELL!

Today has been a day of meetings.  The only good one was the lunch meeting. 

Hubby invited me to his work xmas party today.  It will not be till Dec. 6th but I did get invited.  So far all of our parties are in a 8 day period of time.  Can't people spread it out a bit more?

Good morning Ghoulies!

I got absolutely NOTHING done last night.

Picked the kiddos up at grandma's at 4:00, I already had dinner started because I thought the girl had to be at basketball practice at 5:00. I was mistaken and her ride wasn't picking her up until 5:00. Anyway... I fed the kiddos, and got one ready for basketball. Then the boy and I went to his winter sports meeting at the school. The fall sports meeting took an hour. The winter sports meeting took 2 1/2 hours. We listened to the main speach from the AD and Athletic Trainer, then they broke the kids up by their sports. All basketball was together 7-12. We had to listen to 5 basketball coaches talk. Then 1 mom, who thinks her 7th grade, below average sized son, should be on the 8th grade team because he is AWESOME! Save that crap for some other time, not when you have a room full of parents and irritable teenagers. We didn't get home until almost 9:00.

This evening there is nothing going on, other than me getting a workout in.

Morning Ghoulies.

I was debating to go to an all day workshop today. I would have had to take off work, but it is a good project. I was leaning towards not going. The decision was made for me by my boss calling in. I now get to be the contact for the western part of the state today.

Decision made.

Now let it be a very quiet day in the Western Front.

Don't you live in the western part of the state?

If she had listened to me she would be here now, with power, with room for kitty and no SNOW!

I am glad she is at a friends house. That has got to be so damn wearing.

She said there are plenty of places in town with power to hang out. I offered a noisy place full of socks, too, and she declined. Hopefully things get back to normal soon.

Ahh.. the sun is out and I am in a good mood today.

I hope nothing comes up to ruin that (knocking on wood).
