It’s the first full day of spring, and it has dawned with much promise in these parts. In fact, the forecast is for temperatures in the 80s, which is a bit much, but I’ll take it. As for today’s classic A&J, we can’t seem to get away from the old days, as in those old days when there were a lot more “wage slaves” than there are today. I now have a nephew in college and a niece in high school. I sometimes think what I’d advise them about a future livelihood if they were to ask (They haven’t!). I never can think of anything. The best thing I can come up with is, “Learn a foreign language.” At least that way you’ll know you’ve learned something. Plus, it might have future practical application. One never knows!

I forget. Which agency is it that Dennis Rodman is now in charge of?
Jackie, I would gladly pop a cap on an arsonist for you, but by the time I dealt with all the people who cannot grasp the concept of the left lane of an Interstate be the PASSING lane, I would likely be out of ammunition.
From warning shots only, of course. 🙂
Where did everyone go?
Good morning Villagers….
Twas a quiet day here yesterday.
Good grief, Jackie, you put a new meaning on cruising 🙂
Smigz, how do you bring up those emoticons?
The cats are up too
Got good news yesterday, Mom and Stepfather’s home and property sold….we signed papers yesterday…..will have to forfeit some of it to taxes. then buy a vehicle, pay off cards….and a big Amen to that.
One sister had expressed concern about this couple’s financing through the VA, that the VA is very strict on inspections, or were, but she added that the VA is trying to secure loans and that’s is why you see so many ads/commercials.
Dad is up and moving. there are two sounds that echo the home here….the sound of his walker, the the toilet seat being dropped down, two sounds that someday I will miss.
later, gators……
A work trip to the coast turns into a family vacation. Meanwhile, boat repairs go undone and the zinc slowly corrodes away.
Hoping that was 100 km and not 100 mph. I was and still very much still am more interested in an engine’s fuel economy than how fast it will go. The smaller engines on the Mustang are pretty efficient.
cxp, certainly. JJ, please send cxp my email address. Thank you!
No Steve, it was about 110 MPH before I noticed and on VERY rough beat-up Oklahoma roads with potholes from parade of 18 wheelers from Chicago to Dallas and Houston.
So happy you are getting a car Debbe. Put it in just your name when you title it.
And get a good phone and don’t let anyone else use it either!
Debbe, the emojis for texting are brought up by tapping the smiley face during a text. I discovered later yesterday that I have the new ones on my phone but not on my tablet; my husband has them on neither phone nor tablet. When I attempted to share the emojis for bacon, bat, duck, and peanut with him, they did not appear on his phone.
Also, Debbe, great news about the house!
Smigz, I thought the emoticons were added here. Gave up my cell phone, Verizon really stuck it to me with a contract, got tired of the high cost and getting dropped calls from home. I’ve seen Consumer ?? being advertised, have given it some thought…a cell phone is not on my must have list.
Jackie, now I know that Mustang has cruise control….
I have beef soup with frozen veggies (no, not from a can) slow cooking for lunch…the smell is just permeating the air….and I’m hungry. Made the mistake of going grocery shopping a couple of weeks ago with baby sister, while hungry….and I think she had to talk to every one in that store. Naturally, I zoomed in on those end of aisle ‘specials’….hey, got us some strawberry filled Twinkies 🙂
…this is Jackie going to Illinois to see her grandson for his birthday

Debbe, here is what I switched to: Project Fi from Google. Uses 3 different cell phone carriers to maintain better signals no matter where you go, Wifi where available. Unlimited calls and text at $20 month base cost, plus $10 per Gig of data used and whatever taxes are required. You can use the phone as a Wifi hotspot to get internet connection where you don’t have other service. But you must use one of their phones due to the need to access any one of the three carriers.

Where did everybody go? It’s not the weekend yet! No posts since I was here at 1030.
Trapper, I emailed JJ to send you my email address, too. If you email him, maybe this will get done!
Hi Mark – I suspect the group is busy doing all those things that must be done. For me it was grocery shopping, eating lunch, and getting a haircut. Not much to talk about 🙂
Jackie, so glad you are going to Jack’s birthday party! Also very glad that you will have company on the trip—both much safer AND much more fun!!! Do be careful on the road, though.
Re emoticons, I just posted a cartoon on Facebook that said “4000 years and we are back to the same language. 2006 B.C. vs 2016 A.D.” The top half is hieroglyphics and the bottom half is emoticons!!
Well, drat. That was me above, and I’m on my same laptop as always! Why did my name disappear all of a sudden??!!
In order to qualify for Medicaid they want a sick person to prove that they are looking for a job. There we go with the war on poverty again.
Left a plumber rotorooting my three bathrooms that flooded. Went and prepaid a pest control company to come out and spray house, garage and all of yard for fleas to eradicate the hatched out fleas. Will have to be done twice. Signed a contract for routine spraying each four months.
Made arrangements to neuter and spay two more of Mark’s cats
Made arrangements to board my two big dogs.
Made arrangements for Dickens and I to stay in hotel.
Ummm another option for y’all trying to connect on email… You could leave a message on my link and I could send it along. At least, I think it is possible! There is a note/message part on the website. OH! My email is listed on the profile tab, so you could email me.
Just offering.
🙂
I did Godson #2 a solid and he emailed his thanks and told me the next time we are in the same town he would buy me a beer OMG! Four-year-olds that snuggle up with one on a sofa and watch Lord of the Rings with one cannot buy beers!
Then I remembered he just turned 24. That teared me up a little.
