Extra Credit Question:
Last time you wore a "Hello my name is " ? Conference in March
Last time you WISH someone else was wearing a "hello my name is" ? **When this happened what was it that finally triggered your memory as to who they were ? I am really bad with names. I can remember the face but never the name. Most times I will just continue to talk to them as if nothing is wrong. They never know I don't remember their name.
Inquiring Minds Question:
Would you say:
More people know who I am because of things I have done ? or I know more people by the things they have done ?
Bonus Question:
What was the last "impedimenta" you encountered ? I have a rule that at the end of each day all "impedimenta" is erased from memory.....so I don't remember
Just for Fun:
You know those Neon glow sticks that you snap to activate the "glow" and have seen them used as bracelets & necklaces Well I found them on sale 100 for $5,of course I had to buy them,hopefully they will last until school starts
So , If I was to give you a package of them . What fun and maybe "annoying" uses could you come up with for them ? I would string them along the street in neighbors trees, bushes, mailboxes, etc. Then everyone would get a kick out of the street all aglow.....then again maybe not. Is that the HOA police I hear?
Last time you had A lollipop ? Years. I don't like hard candy. I really don't eat alot of candy at all. Ice Cream Soda ? When I was a child. I would go into sugar shock now. Cotton Candy ? Blech! A nap ? Last month. I was on vacation in NY and after walking and walking and walking....it was nice to come back to the room and take a nap before dinner. It was heaven!

Today in History:
1801 - A 1,235 pound cheese ball was pressed at the farm of Elisha Brown, Jr. The huge ball of cheese was later loaded on a horse-driven wagon and presented to President Thomas Jefferson at the White House Aw jeez, just what the prez needed! 1859 - Brooklyn and New York played baseball at Fashion Park Race Course on Long Island, New York. The game marked the first time that admission had been charged for spectators to see a ball game. It cost $.50 to get in and the players on the field received no salary (until 1863). 1968 - Iron Butterfly's "In-a-gadda-da-vida" becomes 1st heavy metal song to hit charts, it comes in at #117 Originally, "In the Garden of Eden", but apparently no one in the group could speak well. 1969 - With “...one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” astronaut, Neil Armstrong, pilot of the lunar spacecraft, the "Eagle", made the first footsteps on the surface of the moon at 10:56 p.m. EDT. Are you certain that's what he said?

Our street is slated for having storm sewers put in between September and the end of November. We can opt to have our sump pump lines connected if we choose to. The line (PVC piping) has to be buried and extend to the edge of the sidewalk. The city will then connect the PVC to the storm sewer for free. In fact, this entire project from the sidewalk out is not going to cost us anything. The sewer line is coming out of the city's general fund.
There was a meeting last Thursday night and we missed it because we were in Nashville. I guess a total of 8 people attended. Mrs. Tek called one of the neighbors that went to the meeting and got an earful of what it will cost to have a pipe run from sump pumps to the connection at the sewer in the parking, that the line has to be buried below the frost line, etc. Blah, blah, blah.
Some people.
Mrs. Tek was told the lines "had" to be buried below the frost line. She was told it would cost between $1000.00 and $1500.00 to have a plumber put the line in place (PVC pipe).
You would think that if someone is going to take the time to go to a meeting they would at least pay attention to what they are told.
I called the guy at the city again (I had talked with him for about a half hour before we left for Nashville) and asked him what was said at the meeting.
The lines do not have to be buried below the frost line. What he said when asked was, "If I was going to do it this is what I would do." Nothing there about having to. Mine runs to the curb, and has for years. The deepest it's buried is maybe 18 inches. No problems here with freezing...
A man who attended the meeting was quoted by a plumber $600.00 to cut a hole in his basement wall, dig the trench (below the frost line) and lay the pipe. I am still trying to figure out where this $1000.00 to $1500.00 came from.... I'm betting it was a dark place.
And the biggest problem? This woman is retired and is going to wander the neighborhood spreading this disinformation. God, I hate stupid people!
I can do it for a couple of hundred dollars and would quote the work (no warranty) if I wasn't so damn screwed up from the Shingles. I'd make a tidy profit, too! Jeez people! Get together, rent a Ditch Witch for a week and do the whole street at one shot. It's not rocket science.
One crew peels back the sod and keeps it damp, refills the trench after the pipe is laid, then lays the sod back in place.
One crew digs the trench
One crew lays the pipe and places heat tape around the exposed area. Our sumps come out above ground and I used a flexible tubing to connect the two ends of PVC - one from the house and one sticking out of the ground. This needs to be kept warm in the winter. A thermostat will turn on the juice below a given temperature, usually about 40 degrees. I am assuming they still make this stuff.
While the trench is being dug (the time consuming part) the sod crew goes to the next house and peels back the sod. By the time they're done it's probably time to refill the trench and replace the sod.
I'm betting the entire neighborhood is going to be all worked up over nothing before the weekend.
I suppose I'm going to have to supervise the whole thing so it doesn't get totally screwed up...
Time compose a letter and put it in all the mail boxes so people will know what to do. Damn sheep.
When eating a meal I eat a little of this then that.
When I fill a plate, mostly at buffets, its PILE IT ON, Im not shy!
I wear a name tag at work every day.
I think we sell those glow stick things and the funny thing is we carry something called 'Johnny Lights'...theyre little tiny green night lights, that go under your toilet seat so you can see yourself going to the bathroom at night. What the ****???? Dont know who invented those but someone is a millionaire.
Lollipops and cotton candy are the best, but I only get the 'real' cotton candy at fairs and other events. Yummy!
My last ice cream soda was just the other night. A little Rocky Road ice cream and a little Coke Classic.

At a Officer installation meeting for the organization we belong to.

At said meeting. There is a member that has what I call 2 first names (think Frank Brian) and I always get them turned around.
**When this happened what was it that finally triggered your memory as to who they were ?
I heard another member greet him by his real first name.

A couple of Sundays ago after a big breakfast.
It's Ugly Truck Contest Day? Now that's the sort of contest that would be fun to judge!
Today's Question(s):
When you are eating a meal do you:
LOL, I have no idea. I guess I've never paid attention. Funny the things we don't notice about ourselves.
Extra Credit Question:
Last time you wore a "Hello my name is " ?
I try to avoid those things. I like to be a woman of mystery!
Last time you WISH someone else was wearing a "hello my name is" ?
I wish I had a funny story, but actually I have a potentially creepy one.
Last night at 9:30 strangers knocked on my door. It was two girls, claiming to be evangelists. At that hour of the evening! Now that's a moment you wish you could see some name tags.
I just said "no thanks" but now I wish I had thought to get id from them because today I'm thinking of filing a report with the police. Even if they were legit, it's just not safe for young girls to be walking around a strange neighborhood late at night, knocking on doors. For their own safety I hope the police talk to them. I just wish I'd gotten id.
Inquiring Minds Question:
Would you say:
More people know who I am because of things I have done ?
or

Hard to say. A whole lot of people know me locally because I'm active in a few high profile events. On the other hand, when you become active in an event like that you know a whole lot of people.
Bonus Question:
What was the last "impedimenta" you encountered ?
My kids, grandkids, and pets are currently tied for this honor.

I suppose they might look pretty around my jacuzzi tub, but I like the Christmas lights I have up now. I think I'd just give them to the grandkids.
