Re: Thanks for the chuckle Kirk

[Guest guest]

LOL. You're not the first person to ask me that but probably the

first to make me laugh at the question, thank you.

I've got to be honest, it's painful at times but that's what

painkillers are for, right?

You're gonna love this one too. Growing up, Dad called me his either

his daughter or his son Ellen. I was a bit of a tomboy,

climbing trees a little too high, tried to play little league until

they came right out and said " no girls " (that was heart breaking),

Dad's assistant Dog Obedience Trainer, Search a Rescue place victim,

dog obedience demonstration team member...you get the idea. Honey,

I've had everything from dogs peeing on me to those damned drop/kick

chuachuas biting my ankles (that's as high as they can get). The

good news about those little bites, the discomfort doesn't last long

at all.

My husband says I'm more boy than he is (it's a joke of ocurse).

So now you want to know how I work? Prednisone, lots of painkillers

and a mindset that says " F***k 'em all! " Of couse I didn't tell you

what happens when I get out of work. Oh, also I only work 15 to 20

per week, that helps too.

Gotta go get ready and take pills. Have a good day honey, hug the

family for me.

Take care and be well.

I used to take my son fishing, when it was cool to hang out with the

Mom, of course. Now he's 15 years old, hanging out with Mom only

means when I'm sitting in the passenger seat teaching him to drive.

By the way, He's actually doing well at that. So far only one

mistake and it wasn't too terrible; he drove over the pile-on in the

parking space. He confused the gas pedel for the brake. Happens a

lot in Florida.

We're taking the car to Rubin's school tomorrow morning so the auto

tech class can change the fluids on it. Then we're taking it back to

the mechanic for the rest of the stuff that needs to be done. This

way, Rubin gets to work on his own car and learn about it and it'll

cost me a little bit less to fix.

The car we've given him, by the way, is 11 years old. My husband

bought another car (2007 Sebring), I have my Jeep Compass, the old

car wasn't worth anything if we were to turn it into the dealership

so why not let the kid have it.

I had a rough night last night. So much pain, I couldn't even make

it down the stairs to check e-mail. Getting out of bed this morning

was pretty tough too but let's face it, where there's coffee waiting

for me, I'll find a way.

How are you feeling, Kirk? Have the headaches subsided?

Ok, time to put up more laundry (never seems to end). Take care and

be well.

Well I haven't had a horrendous headache in a couple of days (Friday) so

that's a start. It doesn't mean much though...they come & go as they please,

and the intensity is as variable.

I remember learning to drive. Right after I got my license my best fried

& I went fishing. On the way home I had to make a left turn at an

intersection on a 4 lane highway. Well, I kind of " forgot " that I needed the

green arrow. The only thing I remember is my best friend screaming " Holy

Shit " and I gunned the brakes, just missing a car that wound up spinning to

a stop.

I got out & ran to the car to see if everyone was alright (not even

thinking) (no one hit anything) and to my horror there are four Nuns in the

car.

To this day everytime I see a Nun I have a flashback. They were all trying

to calm me down (I was shaking in my boots) and even blessed me before they

left.

I have to thank you for bringing back " that " memory....LOL.

Have a good one! Kirk.

Adios.
