It's better than a normal soap opera though. Yeah the feels don't mind me I'm fan girling over here
It gets a bit more soap opera-ee in the latest season, but yeah it has enough action to keep me watching. ( I believe I told you earlier I was a heartless bastard right?)

Saddle you remind me of:

(Just watch the first 15seconds unless you want the feels).

As far as I'm concerned the institution of marriage has been dead since the divorce rate hit 50%. Why not enjoy the time you spend together while it lasts? Is the pressure of legal action really a good thing to enforce staying together? The way I see it, it's now "yay tax breaks" not "I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you".

Or we could have a mod called "Bob". :giggle:
ugh, you're reminding me of my childhood, played a video game with an unpronounceable name, or at least it sounded silly as hell if you tried. He became known as Lord Bob. Ahh the hours I've wasted.

:sneaka:You missed the part when I admitted to being heartless didn't you, no worries, I just like poking fun. How're you other than overworked? Stretching and drinking something warm always seems to help me to fall asleep. Seems strange that stretching which is a bit strenuous but like 5 minutes after you're done, boom, sleepy.

I'm doing well, just relaxing and drinking, which means I'll be up a while longer. Night cap = nice sleep, drinking when I get home = stay up late, fickle little monster that alcohol.

I have been dealing with a lot of foot issues. After 4 surgeries you would think they could straighten it out already ugh. Soon hopefully. Other than that I am doing well!

Just checking in, to say good night to all 'Corner Crawlers.'

Not feeling well, and having so much to do has been preventing Liz and I from visiting our favorite Corner here at VU. Please forgive us, and yes - it's true - we miss all of you 'dudes,' and 'dudettes'.

Posting here has been one of our favorite pastimes, and we miss interacting with some of the most wonderful folk we've ever met online. I realize that I, LW, do the 'wordsmithing' for both Liz and I, but she - even though she has her own account as @Liz Wonder here at VU - due to the neuropathic damage that became progressively worse over time, since her H1N1 fight in late 2013, early 2014 - her thoughts, beliefs and feelings are shared through my proverbial 'online pen,' as best as I can give to the nicest online readers that I know.

She sends her love, and warmest regards - though most of my writings here tend to be in the tense of 'first person,' I try to echo her sentiments, and believe me when I write - she reads EVERYTHING that I write.

She is my 'editor-ad-litem.' (chuckle)

We reserved our rental truck (damn it, to that HOT PLACE) with Penske; the hitch that was ordered for me through N., our local vape shop manager and auto mechanic - ended up being for a Honda Odyssey. So, we take it back to Walmart tomorrow, with our three-ball Clevis-pin hitch assembly. Aside from having a local welding shop fabricate a frame-mounted class II hitch for our four-door Focus that is a unibody vehicle, which can only handle class I hitches - we are, to put it bluntly - SCREWED. :cuss:

Penske ended up being cheaper than U-Haul (pieces of fecal matter 'governed' to a 55 mph top speed), Budget (with a car on a tow dolly behind it, envision getting SIX mpg, maybe seven, with a 40 gallon GAS tank - think Stranded in Kansas - to the late Judy Garland, aka "Dorothy" in the film "Wizard of Oz"... there's no place like home; there's no place like home...).

Enter Ryder - who are affiliated with Penske, but why would I rent a truck that only does round-trip rentals... in other words, drive Ryder's cheapest rental truck - a Daimler Chrysler-derived Metro Van with a diesel-engined, great mpg V-6 from Central NC to CO - unload it, and drive it BACK to NC in SIX days, with our car still on a tow dolly behind the Metro Van... drop off the aforementioned, and drive OUR car BACK to CO... you may insert some of the worst epithets ever conceived by humans HERE...

So, Penske won - but, we now have to drive two vehicles - with FM walkie-talkies. We spend $838.64, insurance included (our car only has liability insurance, so we're glad to spend the extra $160 for full COVERAGE on the rental, should anything BAD happen), and we get a truck with a loading ramp, 10 mpg and safety for NINE days.

We can take our time, get rest, and FINALLY - we get to say goodbye to the county that leads NC in those 'special' kinds of homemade labs, and our pervy neighbor.

It's the best we can do (!). Our car now rides on kick@$$ US rubber, has new suspension and brakes, new K&N filters (the air filter comes with a lifetime warranty, if you clean it correctly), K&N oil filter with Royal Purple synthetic 5w-20 motor oil to be Colorado-ready, and gets a four wheel alignment on this Thursday afternoon - by appointment, so in - and out - we go.

Did I write that Liz sends her love? Well, so do I. Thank you for reading. :goodnight:

LW & Liz (we rise above the insanity, because we're both a little nuts, ourselves...)

After an exhausting day yesterday, I just wanted to jump in here and say hello.

Liz is asleep beside me, with her gorgeous curls silky upon my skin. I'm so blessed to have her in my life; she let me rest after running hither, thither and yon to see our psychiatrist, and to get the car aligned front and rear.

It is spot-on. We ended up taking back roads home, and though I'm not a fan of FWD cars - this thing stays glued to the pavement, and corners incredibly well - kind of like a VW Jetta, without either of the front tires losing contact with the pavement on hard turns, while driving on undulating pavement.

I drove, with the cruise control set at 65 mph, with seat inserts to support my spine. Even on tight 35 mph turns, the car never broke traction once. Not bad, for a Welsh-German engineered car - that's 15 years old.

The KYB struts and springs, and the new rear shocks with the corrected tire camber and caster all the way around means that this car is ready for the Colorado trek, and the new Royal Purple oil, gaskets, and K&N filters will cement the deal. Good night, from...

LW & Liz :):)

Dealing with some foot pain as well, mainly the "heel" though not ankle, just the heel. Stretching has helped a TON, but it's still there. I can deal if I stretch, if I don't ouchies but I still manage. I was a bit worried it was gout or something because of my poor choices in nutritious and drinking, but pretty sure it's not now, just gotta stretch and give it some time. But I feel your pain, I know what it's like, not only that but I used to get some wicked cramps in the front of my foot back in my athletic days, I mean cringe worthy almost keel over pain, felt like my bones were overlapping, it was nasty. Foot pain is terrible because the only way to decrease it is not walk and even that doesn't completely avoid it. So GL!

Sounds like fun! Grandparent finally unable to drive tempted to buy the Subaru they have, drives so smooth, similar to what you said. I'd be fun to just go on joyrides through curvy areas again.

I've never found dumb entertaining... I find it trying in the EXTREME. I just wanna grab them and say DO YOU HAVE A SINGLE FUNCTIONAL BRAIN CELL? And those people who say things to me like 'You shore do reed alotta books... why you read so many books for anyway?" I just want to slap into the next STATE. :facepalm:

Andria
My god!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! I read... constantly! It is my passion. Every day, when I was in hs, Kids would grab my books from my hands and start teasing me for reading so much. I carried an extra shoulder bag for a purse so I could haul half a dozen novels to school with me (not to mention library books)! Every time one of those little fuckers would grab my books, I'd snatch it out of his/her hands and smack the shit out of 'em with it. My thing is; You don't look at my books and you sure as hell don't touch my motherfucking books without my permission. It did not take them long to stop their shit, either. I had to repeat this at the beginning of all 4 years of high school. Worked like a charm. At least they learned something from books. :giggle::giggle::giggle::giggle::devil::devil::devil:

The thing is, these kids were all about their cell phones and were gradually getting stupider by the hour. Thankfully they weren't as stupid then as the teens are, now, eight years later.

I'm still trying to convince my boss siestas would be a good idea.

My study, however unscientific it may be, shows they are beneficial to the napper. :) I also enjoy only having two great bosses, well the one can be a real *ahem* something at times. I try laughing her away though, it can work sometimes. :) The other boss he's a real prick at times. Looks like me when I go to the head and see him in that funky window that shows another head on the other side of the wall. Never have figured that out. There's no other head over there. Hm.

Well... after a screaming fit with the ol man because he brought home THE STINKINGEST SHIT I HAVE EVER SMELLED IN MY LIFE which he said was pulled pork (from his company's "customer appreciation day") but which smelled like a cross between SHIT AND A FULL DUMPSTER... I'm back. And I've informed him that if he EVER brings home anything that smells that bad again, I'M GOING BACK TO SMOKING IN SELF DEFENSE!

I had to clean my humidifier with bleach in here in the kitchen, with the window open and the ceiling fan on, just to get that stench outta here.

GAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! :gaah::cuss2::gaah::cuss2::gaah::cuss2::gaah:

*chuckling* When I worked at the poultry plant, often got threatened with being tied upon the roof to go home which was only about six miles away. Told her one night, "why not just let me hoof it home?" It wasn't funny when she stopped the car and told me to get out.

I walked about two miles until she got back round to me. Such a mean wheedle girl she is, it was nearly 20 degrees that night and I was in clothes that emulated being in a wet suit. Had on thermal under garments and flannel shirt, blue jeans. When this gets soaked through it creates similar barrier as wet suits.

So, at 20 degrees my core temp had dropped quicker than I expected. Got back in the car, yeah we had a car then and not a truck. I curled up against the heat vent. She told me she would stop again if I didn't sit back. Begrudgingly I sat back. to enjoy a warmer ride more than a cold walk.

Of course, I did walk two miles in to home one Winter when working at a Burger King. It was pretty rough, the snow came on as though from out of nowhere. We got hammered with a blizzard, about five foot of snow all in. Our GM there told us if people from the outs stayed she would find them a way home, even it meant she took them. Burger King was swamped by customers off of interstate. We were short handed, it also meant actual OT pay of Time And a Half.

She got her little Amigo jeep so far on the road back to my home. Then, I told her to pull over. I knew there was a turn in the road she would not make without flipping. As soon as I did, there was a State trooper up in front of her gesturing she pull over. "Where you headed," He asked.

"Well sir, I'm hoping out and walking home, only about two miles left to get there," I said while hoping out of the jeep. "She'll not get round that bend in this little thing," I concluded. He nodded.

"Yep, got two in the ditch already," he said. "She'd flip hers."

My GM looked all kinds of puzzled. "You can't just walk home. I need to take you."

"Officer, you be the authority," I asked.

"Sure enough, badge says so," He said with a grin.

"Okay boss lady, the authority says it's all good," said I.

"Well, ..." she stammered.

The officer assured her I should be alright. I was nearly a fourth of the way underway as he did. It was cold but I kept going, had seen real cold up at Great Lakes, minus 60 at times with wind chill. Come in and my mom was startled. Wife was too. Told them I had walked in because the snow was too bad, we could dig out the drive or not the next day. I would be off work until roads were cleared, it would be accepted by the bosses at Burger King, if not they could find another monkey.

Yes, momma, I did do another character synopsis yesterday before passing out. :) Only one more remains to do. Then I can wrap all of the synopses up into a query and proposal for the story. I can then take a bit of a break, or go on and let the first draft flow out to screen / page. And it does seem that using this method works well for me. :) I can see that the story works, see there is a story. I'm also feeling a lot more invested in it, I care about the story. *gasp* Guess readers will care as well. *double gasp* I might even sell millions of copies. *faints* Who knows, I may surpass the wealth of Stephen King? *is shuffled away by rescue squad*

Damn it, need to recall the name of the tune by Janis Joplin, the one about all my friends and expensive cars.

Ah, there we are. :)

Okay now if I see the other five little mes running amuck, I'll have to tell them no it was not what they are smearing all over the walls. "Hank is ... over new people." Crazy little other mini-mes, I have to go wash the paint off, cover that nasty shit up. :facepalm:
