Thanks for providing tonight's nightmare...

No problem! Anytime...!

I have 2 interviews tomorrow for jobs I really don't want but beggars can't be choosers. A phone interview for a job I actually do want. And I totally mess up a phone call from a job but got an interview anyway. So maybe hell is freezing over and my luck is turning.

Wow that is a pile of positive news, yay!

The earliest my DD was to hear about last weeks interview is tomorrow but could be longer. Today she set up two interviews out of town for the second week in November that she applied for over 45 days ago.

*Pixie Dust* flying for all of you!

OK, then how 'bout a silly, happy, smiling mouse...?!

That picture just reminded me that there's a stray cat without fur living near my house. Would that work?

complaining I haven't used that method yet...

Yes it would work. All kitties deserve homes.

If you do your research and make your case, it sometimes works.

For the record, I'm not trying to be mean or critical; it just baffles me that someone could not own something as simple as a vacuum. Like I said, here it's non negotiable. My mom and I both have asthma and allergies, we have a cat, and my brother and dad also have allergies. So we've got a good Dyson. We have to invest, but vacuums don't have to be a huge investment

So a friend of mine, her daughter is getting married so I was like let's go see how Disney prices are:

I recently bought 6 bags of "snack" size candy bars for trick or treaters. Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed how much smaller the bags are this year?? I'm having second thoughts: I may need to go out and buy 2 more bags, just to be sure we have enough for the children who ring the doorbell on Halloween.

Meanwhile, my dog hates Halloween, because of all the little people invading his "den". We've learned over the years to keep him in an upstairs room, with the door shut, so that he won't run down the stairs and scare the little kids at the door! (That doesn't stop him from barking up a storm, however!)

Yes, they are smaller. I priced it out, I now buy full size candy at Sams Club in large boxes that are like the kinds in racks at 7/11 or the grocery store. I let my DD pick it out, whatever is left over I use to send to her dorm room.
Now she can take it to work. Whatever I send and she puts in the Staff room is gobbled up!

Yeah, for the first hour Walt barks too. Then the novelty wears off.

Okay now to see if mom would let me keep it...

I found one! At the back of the coat closest behind the science fair boards which I thought were there walls because the brown cardboardy part was facing me. I'm also a bad looker

Sometimes the Cleaning Lady moves my mail and I don't see it.
I guess I missed opening the boys' cell phone bill last month.

Imagine my consternation when I saw this today:
Total if received by Nov 10, 2014 - $1,354.65
(I can't get the photo to upload for some reason.)

$1,354.65 - I kid you not!

So, I paid it online, and then on Thursday after the payment has cleared, I will pay off their combined "tab" (the amount outstanding on the phones), and those little (insert any word you want here) can "pay as you go".

Out-rageous! More than $1300 for 2 months worth of cell service on two phones!

Three of my last five posts have double posted.

Is it just me?

Owning a Dyson is like owning a pick-up truck!
Once your friends know you have one, they always want to borrow it.

That being said, I LOVE my Dyson.

I would've just brought out a spray (I've used Lysol, Hairspray, and Wood Polisher on Spiders) and start spraying till it falls down it works on a lot of creepy crawly bugs..

My DD kept a can of hairspray in her dorm room worked all the time. Helped it wasn't the paint on my walls.

Oof. This is partially why we have pay as you go...

And so it begins.....

a child traveling from Liberia to Ohare became ill in route and has been taken to Luire Children's Hospital. They have opted not to test the child but transfer to UofC Hospital and put in isolation for further observation. Then a second passenger became ill too and has also been taken off to isolation at a different hospital in Chicago. They were not traveling together and are not related.

....and now we wait to see if everyone will fear Chicago.

It was a very long game of Hide & Seek for me just started to opened the box and a lizard jumped out, you have no idea how loudly I screamed. Now the better question is how the lizard ended up in there but I'm not going to think about it that much because it means there is more of them somewhere

Oh, it'll happen. The amount of my Facebook friends who thought that MD was going to become infected because the nurse was transferred to Bethesda was ridiculous. They must have missed the part where she was taken by an ambulance airplane, she wore protective gear en route, everyone caring for her also wore protective gear, and that by being placed there, in one of four biocontainment units in the country, not only is she more likely to recover, but she's less likely to spread the disease to others.

If that was the reaction just from bringing the nurse here, I can only imagine the reaction in Chicago.
