Good morning girls. I really wonder what's up with this site. I know I got an email from Jean saying she couldn't even get into it yesterday. It loads slowly and when you post it takes forever to advance the posting.
We got a call last night from #1 grandson. He called to ask if he could come stay with us over the holiday weekend. We will pick him up on Friday after he gets home from school and take him back on Monday. His parents are going a bahama cruise. He ask if we could keep Marty to and I said the more the merrier so we will have them both. We have to take him commissary shopping next week, but hopefully it won't be too horrible, though it will be right after military payday and social security payday and military retirement so it might be nuts. Maybe we will take him over the weekend to his house and go swimming one of the days at least. I can try out the new swimsuit.
Susan: Last summer we used to see county jail inmates that would clean up the road going into the Navy base. They wore jumpsuits that said on them "I am a drunk driver." I haven't seen them this year much and in fact the county is so poor they aren't getting out and mowing, which means mosquitos. I guess everywhere is just economically poor and cutting back. Jack was checking out the drive to Las Vegas and said that Arizona has closed all but 3 rest areas in the whole state!!!! Wowee I guess I better take a can with me because we drive through a lot of that state and some of it can be pretty barren retail wise. Speaking of that have you been reading the traffic jam story in China around Bejing? I guess it is 60 miles long and they are saying it will take weeks before people can get off the road. YIKES! I guess there are people hawking food and drink on bicycles along the route gouging prices for water and stuff, but you can't go for weeks with no rest room so wonder how they are managing that?
Jean: Sorry you haven't been able to get in here. I am going to email you the message I left for you here yesterday about the game.
I guess I better get a move on. I still have things to accomplish today! Have a good one everybody. Faye
Good afternoon, ladies! 82 degrees today. So pleasant!
Nothing going on today but work and the Y. I'm cleaning the downstairs carpets this weekend, washing and waxing the furniture and all that good stuff this weekend. I need to rest up!
Faye, Jean posted at the bottom of the first page. It'll be nice for you to have Thomas for the weekend. Is he going to run for class president this year? Social Security checks no longer all come out on the same day at the beginning of the month. The always go out on the Wednesday closest to your bithday. They did that to relieve the hoards at the stores and bank around the first.
Glory and I were in traffic tied up on the James River Bridge and we saw a lady get out of her car and open the back door and then get between them and go to the bathroom - and no just pee! Maybe you'll have to go behind a cactus! I hadn't heard about the traffic jam but I'll be looking it up!
Jean, glad you made it in today. My husband was terrible to go shopping for clothes. He always wanted me to do it. When he needed a suit or jacket, I made him come along and then he'd be so picky I'd want to scream "Just take one!" Men just don't know how to shop like women.
Hi, Maggie!
Have a great day!

Good morning to you all! Looks like another week has come and going. I can't believe it is almost fall already. We are supposed to have a warmer than usual winter here this year.
Susan: I don't know. I will have to ask him if he is going to run for student council president since he is top dog this year. I don't know why they have 6th grade as part of the jr high here, but they do. I imagine changing the social security checks that way would even out payments within the government too. A few years back the city decided to change payday from Thursday until Friday and I guess saved a bundle doing that somehow. Jack hates clothes shopping but is like Stan was. When he does go then he gets all picky about colors and patterns and stuff, comes home and wears weird colors together! lol
Jean: Looks like we were posting at the same time! lol Hope you find the pacman game. Let me know if you don't and I will get the exact link for you!
You know, they want you to pay your ticket within 15 days, but it has been two days and they still don't have it input into the computer system so I can pay the fine, but if you pay it late they stick it to you! Drives me nuts!
Well girls, I need to get going on work. I am uncommonly hungry this morning and trying to hold out until 8 am. I am having female stuff again so I am hungry all the time. Maybe one of these days it will be all over and done with. I can only hope.
Faye
Back to work! Faye

Good afternoon gals! I had cleaning duties this morning and have stressed something in my neck and shoulder so have been creaping around this morning.
We are just hanging out today watching tv after my work was done. Tomorrow we have to spot clean the carpet downstairs and I want to clean the downstairs completely again.
Jack is in the doghouse! lol I cleaned the bathrooms this morning, brought stuff like the dirty towels and trash and stuff downstairs and I heard the water running. For whatever reason he couldn't shave and take a shower BEFORE I cleaned the bathrooms! I asked him if he got water all over the mirror. He said, "I don't know." UGH! Why is it men just do not get it sometimes! lolol
Jean: We have lovely lower temps the last couples days so I hope it continues through next week. I don't want the spare room to be a cooker for T or he will be sleeping on the couch downstairs. That little room only has one register in the ceiling and it gets direct sunlight so it can heat up big time. Facebook has free pacman. It is called something else, but looks to be the same game. If you click on the games link and then scroll through the games you should find it.
Maggie: Oh, too bad about your herbs. I am sure you have enjoyed your fresh veggies from your outside garden though.
Well gals, I need to get some things done this PM so have a good one all! Faye
It is still taking forever to get in here. 
I did find the Pac Man game, but my computer security wouldn't let me download it. It had a warning that it was not safe. There were a couple other Pac Man sites so may try one of those later. I didn't see the article on the traffic jam in China. We rarely have them and then usually only for a few minutes . . . until "those" that don't know how to drive around here get moving again. 
They are good jobs to have done! 
The weatherman said we are going to warm up again, but so far it's just a pleasant temperature of 75 degrees and sunny. Enjoy your Schwans meals!
I think the site may be back up to speed again; at least I didn't have any trouble getting in and it was pretty fast. 
I just hope it doesn't rain over the long weekend since it will be the last hoorah at the lake for the kids.
