Lucky Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 It is lucky you were there. Good grief. Did you at least need a new one? Moving sucks. Unpacking and putting away sucks x 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I'm a freak... I always liked the unpacking part and setting up house. It's the packing that I hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I enjoy it too, the basics. That's pretty much done. Then it's finding places for all those things that have to have a home, but are hardly ever used, but you can't throw away. And discovering that I don't have nearly enough kitchen cabinet space. But I've got a flipping view that just won't quit, so it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 So it was a quiet night on our little kingdom's island fortress. From our ramparts, we watched the sun dawn, yawning as we were about to end our night guard duty. In the quiet of a North Atlantic ocean morning, we heard the fog pierced first by the sound of approaching oars. And our spines froze as we heard what could only be the battle cry of an approaching warrior ship. It sounded like: "Ah-AH-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa AH!" "Ah-AH-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa AH!" We'd never heard anything like it. The closest we could come to describing it was to quote the poet Walt Whitman: "I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world." We'd never heard an actual yawp before, but this was it. And when the fog parted to reveal the armored Viking ships, we stalled for time, for our numbers were few and our relief shift had yet to be summoned. We tried to reason with them, asking whence they came and what their mission was, but they only said: "We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow." And then we just tossed our spears and surrendered on the spot. Anybody who comes from a place like that, is one tough mother. We knew we'd been defeated. ************** This is from the entry for Immigrant Song on Songplaces.com. Made me laugh out loud.

pinkstones Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 I had to have my cat put down this morning. He was very, very sick and throwing up blood, and we'd already done as much as we could do for him up to this point. The vet said that there was no more that could be done, and we shouldn't feel guilty. So we're going to the shelter this weekend and getting another cat, and I'm determined that he'll be named Floyd. For obvious reasons, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
