Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 137: Counting the long summer days

After a sketchy morning, it turned out to be a great day, so I had to hang by the pool. Sirloin tips are now marinating, I'm enjoying a glass of wine while waiting. Turned out to be a nice day. Too bad it's the end of the weekend.

So, Zac Brown Band is pretty good.

We got soaked when the afternoon storm passed through, but we kinda expected it. MNS and I just stood under the overhang at the liquor vendor and chatted with the women doling out the booze. It was a sound plan since we didn't have to go anywhere to refill our mugs.

So MNS had a guy ask him to dance during ZBB, I posted a picture in TRP, check it out:

No problem, if all you want are blank shirts either to wear or to screen print on (which is how I found it) it's a great source.

FYI, I don't know if it was just an effort to cut costs, but my last batch of XL PC61 shirts seemed to be a little smaller and shorter than previous purchases. More annoying than anything, but not much of a problem when I wear them under a different shirt.

I'm sure it'd be great for screen printing... still looks good for what it is... the fact its less than $8 is a bonus... i mean, the reason I buy them from old navy to begin with is 'cause they hold together.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 137: Counting the long summer days

So I got a call this morning, around 10:30, that my mom had fallen, it was bad, and that they're taking her to the ER. It turns out that she fell as a result of pain due to a kidney infection. She had been screaming bloody murder when I got the call, everything hurt and they were scared it was her neck or spine, but there turned out to be no broken bones. She's in the hospital now, overnight for observation so they can move her off a broad spectrum antibiotic and on to something more targeted when the lab work finishes.

While waiting in the ER, my brother and I were talking while my niece was looking more than a little bored. I asked my brother if he had any games downloaded to his Android phone, to which he replied no. I take the liberty of downloading Angry Birds onto the phone (it's free for Android phones), to placate my niece, show her the very limited knowledge I have on how to play the game, and she's off and playing. Not ten minutes later my brother is by her side watching. Then another minute or two later he has the phone in his hand, playing the game, giving sound effects aloud, and various things like that in an attempt to entertain his daughter. A half-hour later my brother and his daughter are fighting each other over who gets to play. Amazing.

I've only ever played the game a minute or two on my buddy's phone once, and just knew it to be a popular game. I guess it can also be known for both bonding and separating families inside an hour's time. :D

Thank you, but she's going to be fine. She was doing very well by the time I left at 8:30ish. She's a little ornery at times, but then flying high at others.

Good to hear! Ornery sometimes means bullheaded, which helps during illness (aka: I'm fine. I'm not sick.)

Leswp must be too distraught about her son being away from home to post this morning.

Good Morning.

No power, and no network at work. It is hot as hell in here. I'm giving it about 10 more minutes before I leave.

In the Penalty Box for the first half of the day.
Blah... at least I can play online up here. I'm watched like a hawk when I'm at my desk.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 137: Counting the long summer days

Wow, a friend of 20+ years just got engaged last night. :eek:

Looks like the run of "people I know getting married" shall continue unabated for at least one more year.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 137: Counting the long summer days

Power and internet are back, guess I have to stay here now.

Also, when I was sitting in the lobby, waiting out the outage (and the lobby was where I could get a cell phone signal, because normally we have one of those signal boosters in the building) I found out that all of the attractive girls work on the 3rd floor, and there are a surpisingly high quantity of them. I need to move up to third floor.
