Dog Gone window was closed. Sorry about that you must have said something to somebody and they didn't appreciate your wisdom.
Suggest that you sit down with your pet rock and discuss the present as that is what he was. You also have to settle on a good name, can't use any names that are in present usage either. Like Jesse J or O'Bama or that other clown from NYC, Rev somebody or other Sharp. If any of those names open up in the next week or two you probably could use the same name then. You could call it Bushrock as that name is open.  ) Or if the rock's sex is female you could call it Nancy P. as that name will become available next November(2010).
On another note, Congratulations are in order for the new Governors that were elected yesterday. Maybe the NYTimes will manage to spell their names correctly, I sincerely doubt that though as it is a dumbocratic newspaper. The Chicago Tribune and the LA Times might get it half right though, not to sure if it will be the front half or the back half as they are having fiscal problems and aren't really sure if they are coming or going.
We had a strange phenomenon happen this morning!! The Sun was visible and shining, people actually came out of their homes and viewed and pointed at it. There were even a few brave souls that attempted to take pictures of it. It only lasted a few minutes and it is now gray and gloomy as usual and everybody has gone back into hiding.
My Workshop is now open and ready for business in fact I left the outdoor door open all night, not in celebration but mainly because I manage somehow to dump a full container of paint thinner on the floor and the top wasn't fully screwed down. I found that out when I smelled the sweet aroma of paint thinner wafting through the shop. Actually it was a chocking blast of fumes and I had to hurry and move air into the room and out of the room. The Furnace and Hot Water heater are in the same room and have open flames when they turn on. I shut both of them down and it got a little chilly in the house last night. Glad that my girlfriend didn't think of taking a shower this morning. She did complain that the water didn't get warm no matter how long she let the water run. DUH !! Both appliances have now been turned back on. Out of a full gallon I now have about a pint of thinner left. I use it to clean my brushes when I am staining small pieces of wood. I usually use an old t-shirt or cloth diaper to stain a piece of wood or furniture(the diapers and shirts are clean before I use them).
The Cranes were flying South all day Monday & Tuesday, there were thousands of them and they were really high up. Winter should hit this area in the next two to three weeks.
I have quite a long list of folks that need assistance in painting their ceilings. I have an assistant that does an excellent job but I do have to make sure the ladder that she uses is held steady. For those of you that have signed up I will notify you if she ever finishes here.
I Love cooking with wine, sometimes I even put it in the food!!
Money isn't everything but it sure keeps the kids and grandchildren in touch !!

Good morning! Chuck, I hope your thought that Nancy P. comes available as a usable name next November is true!! My pet rock family is singing I Love Rock and Roll by Joan Jett...put another dime in the jukebox baby! They're rockin' the house! Jerry, your rock is a northerner...you can call it Yankee Rock. Speaking of Yankees, to all you Yankees fans out there, Congratulations on the World Series win. Well, I'm off to run errands...I'll probably be out of touch until Monday. I'm chaperoning a field trip for my honey's school tomorrow, kids are coming Saturday and Sunday we're going to the Lady of the Lakes Renaissance Faire in Tavares. Have a great weekend! I'll try to pop in and say Hey!

Well guys I don't know if Spanky will be able to join the rock band, As I said he is always singing: Papa was a rolling stone and he sounds pretty good so I decided to teach him some new songs so I started with MRS. JONES. I figured it was a good one for him to be able to streach his vocal cords and try some of the higher pitches, WELL instead of trying the song he had all kinds of questions like : why do the meet at the same cafe and at the same time every day ? and if she is married, then what is she doing messing around ? well I just threw my arms up, at least he has good morals ! anyway, I said ok lets try some Pasty Cline ( Crazy ) well that was out of the question. when I asked him why ? he said country music brought back bad memories of his child hood, growing up in the quarry !! so I didn't push it.. But I have not given up, we are going to try some DOO-Wop ! I know every time I play it I see him kinda rocking around on the floor. Take care everyone ! time for Spank's vocal training
Laugh, Love and Live for today because tomorrow never comes !

Billl, don't you know you are scaring him with the Dooo Wop. That is the sound a rock makes when it hits the floor. DOOOWOOP! Well I have been down today, it's been two months since Miss Tommie passed away. In a way it is good that it felled on Thursday because tonight we have our Holy Smokes Bible Study. (A group of us who likes cigars gets together and study and enjoy sometime together.)

It looks like I shouldn't have brought up anything about a rock band. Ever since I talked to my rock about it he has been sitting on the granite bench singing "I am a rock, I am an island" The problem is that's all he knows of the song.

Margie, try this click on tools, then click on compatibility view. That correceted mine when I had that problem. It is worth a try. I don;t know what informations is being put out about the shooting at Fort Hood, but I sure hope that guy lives to go on trial, would love to learn what he has to say.

Margie: I had that problem too and Lloyd is right. I use the compatibility button at the top of the page and it worked. I'm just so stunned at the Fort Hood shooting. My prayers and heart goes out to all those effected by this unnecessary tragedy. If he didn't want to go on deployment couldn't he find some other way of dealing with it other than killing and hurting innocent people? I'm with you Lloyd. I too hope he lives to go on trial. It will be interesting to see what he has to say. Sophie still haven't gotten used to the newest family pet bitsy. At least I think it's a female cause when I turn it over nothing is hanging down  . She can't understand why I talk to something that can't fetch a ball or jump into my lap and give me kisses. She still walks by her (I have her sitting on the coffee table which Sophie can't understand why) and barks at her. I told her not to be jealous of her new sister. She looks at me like I'm crazy. I hope everyone is doing well. Has anyone heard from Lisa? Chuck: I don't own a boom box and the window was open when bitsy came through it.

Well what I am about to say wouldn't be fun except for all this talk about pet rock, the timing is about perfect. At 3:00am this morning I woke up with some serious pain on my lower left side. I though it was just gas build up and treated it accordingly. Then about 3:30, I got sick, not just sic, but really sick. I kept trying to handle it, but at 6:00 things got so bad I almost double over. So I called Thomas and he took me to the ER where they ran test, took pictures and gave me some reallll good pain medince. After the pain medince kicked it I didn't care how long it took to find out what was wrong. (As long as the medince kept comeing.) Anyway after about a 2 hour wait, I was given the wonderful news that I had a 3MM Kidney Stone and since that is consider small he was going to let it pass naturally. Of course he gave me medince to help with the pain and such. Since it is from the Left Kidney and if we are not able to fish it out of the toilet, it will wind up in the river, I think I will name it TED. So when you all hear the loud screams, you will know Ted Kidney Stone has arrived. Mikieee, Jerry, Popeye, Chuck, and Bill quit laughing.

Lloyd ... will you have to go into a screen so you can catch Ted. You don't want another rock at the bottom of the water. I'm with popeye ... there is no way I can keep from rolling on the floor and curl up and just laugh.

Lloyd: I'm not laughing cause I've been there. Mine was small too so I had to let it pass. I did go through a strainer so that I could see what caused me to have to have morphine. When it did come out it was pretty tiny. That's when I started laughing. I hope Ted doesn't hurt to bad being born.....
