Operator, that sounds sooo cool! My BF is into astronomy (ok, so he's a nerd) and he will be totally jealous when I tell him about your meteor!

Around here, November is too darned cold to be out watching meteors or lying on porches although I might consider it.
The kid from CAA took forever to get into my car - he said "Them Ford Focuses is hard!" It took him nearly an hour but he finally did it. By then the evening was shot so I made dinner, watched TV and went to bed - not nearly as exciting as meteors.

Don't think I could ever stay up until midnight to see one anymore.

Up now though...have been since 4:30...

good morning everyone it's finally friday.

:wave: Friday...no headache:D...bills are paid:p....wish I had some money left to go shopping and get out of the house for awhile;)...and wish I knew what our Thanksgiving plans were, so I'd know what I need to be shopping for:?:...darn DH for not calling HIS mom, HIS son, or HIS sister to decide what we're going to be doing! grrrrrr!!!

Dang, Ruthie. It doesn't take me that long to get into a locked car!!! I learned how when I locked my keys in my car on the way here from back home. Thank heavens I did it while parked next to a tow truck driver. You just use two shims and pry the door open enough to get a hook to the lock or door handle. Can't use a Slim Jim anymore since the manufacturers began putting blocks in the doors to prevent theft.

And, no EZ, I still haven't recovered a regular sleep cycle since doing shift work, so I was up during the meteor event. But, quite a few folks who don't have aluminum foil on their bedroom window(like me) were actually woken up by the bright flash of light and the boom a few minutes later. There were several videos of it. http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=8714738 Here's a link to an article with a video.

A quote from Bill Gates for Dutchie's BF--"Be nice to nerds. You'll be working for one someday."

Hey all. I have a day off today. So, instead of getting my projects done around the house... I'm staring at the computer. I'm so useless!
But having the house to myself is so rare, I'm enjoying it.

Enjoy your day off...those that are having them

cool video MISSTNT...looks like you may be out looking for rocks to pick up some extra bucks...

Wonder how much I could get for the rocks in my head?

Pretty sure if you add up yours, mine and the rest of us here, we would have about...

a freakin' lot of $rocks!$

I may have enough ore in my rocks to actually be worth some money.

Have a MAJOR plumbing issue at home tonight...

thank goodness I have a neighbor to Y off of so I have water...and a brother that can dig a ditch and plumb...and a buddy of my nephews to help out...since I cannot help with this hernia surgery...and 2 plumber buddies with advice...

could easily be an all day fixer tomorrow....

Just so you know in case you see some crankiness in my posts...

Nonono, that's the wrong idea! The way to go is to have the nerd working for you, not the other way around.
And I am nice to this nerd. Very nice, in fact...
(Which makes him want to work for me - and that works for me! :D)

Anyone want to come and help me fix the main water line from the street to my house, so I can shower?
