Freaky Friday 7/23 - non-political version
 

Rant: Millipede infestation that means lots of crawling dashes and hyphens all over the outside walls and some creeping into the house and turning into little dead circles.

Rave: we just booked a fabulous 35th anniversary trip for October to Carmel/Monterey and San Francisco -- splurging on Tickle Pink Inn and Mark Hopkins fancy rooms, will eat far too well that weekend, too, I'm sure.

Hi Cassandra,

Rave - I have a full weekend of plans including a happy hour, a BBQ, a concert on the streets of DC, and an Orioles game.

Rants - Life is good, I have no rants today (and a "Rave" that I can say that!).

Karen

Rave: Thank you! ((b))

Rave: Leaving soon for Salt Lake City :-)

Rave: Found 3 baby frogs in the grass yesterday while mowing :-D

Rant/Rave: Also while mowing I saw a sleepy, small sized skunk meander out of one garden bed and into another beside the house :-?

Rant: We too have a terrible millipede infestation! It's so bad I purchased an insecticide (Demon). Hope it works..

Rave: My son's 18th birthday, a beautiful wife, a nice life.

Rave: decespedes found the baby frogs before she mowed them ;)

Rant: building a house is very stressful

Rave: our house will be done in a few weeks (???)

Rant: I REALLY need to vacuum

Rave: my kids are happy and healthy ((L))

Rave--Had a great vacation to the central part of our state (Oregon)!

Rant--Came home to 98 degree heat. Not usually this hot so noone has a/c.

Rave--Spent more time outdoors than indoors on vacation...nothing better than that.

If my govenor refered to others as "girlie men" I think I'd go non-political too.

Bless you, Cassandra.

Rant: Construction on I-40 in Durham that has a created an incredibly dangerous stretch of 2 narrow lanes caught between concrete barriers with no shoulder and no margin for error. We've already had 2 miserable crashes that have shut down the highway for miles and hours. Travelers to NC, be aware!

Rave: Local photo shop liked my beach shots so well they want to enlarge and hang one in the shop. Blush!

RAVE: We live in a FREE country! God Bless America!!

RANT: Some people take that privlege way too far!

Happy Friday Everyone!

Rave: My husband has had the best summer visit ever with his teenaged daughter.

Rave: As much as we've loved having her, she leaves Sunday and we will have our privacy once again.

Rave: Three day weekend with the day after Carnival (Monday) being a holiday....AND I will have peace and quiet at home to enjoy it. Ahhhh.

Rave: Going to the Calypso Show at Carnival tonight and plan to have fun, fun, fun until the wee hours!

Rave: We can all sleep in for a change tomorrow!

Rave: The weather has been absolutely gorgeous and looks to remain the same for awhile.

Rant: When Freaky Friday Rants and Raves turn into a political debate. :(

Have a great weekend everyone! :)

I see what you mean Cassandra re: non political :( What a spoiler.
Where is jor?

Rave: Skip the paddles, Doctor, open the window: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story
&cid=816&e=1&u=/ap/20040723/ap_on_fe_st/lightning_strike

(a story about a Maine cardiac patient who feels great after a lightning strike.)

Rant: Summer TV is 100% abysmal, except for the Amazing Race.

Rant: I can't get the link to work for the lightning strike story

Sorry! Try going to http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=index&cid=816 and then click on the headline about the Maine man and lightning.

Hi Scarlett. I hope your daughter is feeling better.

RAVE:
Our daughter comes home from two weeks' camp!

RANT: She's going to be bringing a lot of stinky camp laundry with her.

RAVE: Tour de France!

RANT: I have tons of ironing to do.

RAVE: When my husband comes home from work and asks if I've spent the whole day glued to the Tour de France, I can smile sweetly and say "No, dear, I've been doing your ironing." (Ironing board glued to TV, haha!)

\:D/:
Nothing hurts.
Mrs Kal is driving AND arguing with me again.
Finally have the time to go back to the gym so I won't be confused with real Calif gurlymen located in the Capitol by time any Yountville GTG in November.

b(:
Politics discussed on the US board. Maybe "Other Topics" like we courteous Wine-Os did?
Supposed to be over 100 degrees for Eppie's Great Race tomorrow.

Thank you Cassandra!!

Rave: Scarlett's Yank's heroics in the great Gekko Games! Catching one is a real feat, Scarlett, and I had to laugh at Pup's excitement. I bruised my arm diving for one a couple of weeks ago. He was sitting on a slat of my plantation shutters, gazing wistfully at the outside and I was determined to "save" him. Nearly broke the shutter, big bruise on my arm, but he was saved. He had looked so forelorn peering out! :(

Rave: Two days of sun after close to 8 inches of rain this week!

Rave: Son's beautiful new house being built in Frisco, TX. Little did we know when we moved to Dallas in '77 with that 3 year old, that we were creating a permanent Texan.

Rant: The Dow (sigh) falling below 10,000 again. "Oh when willlll it ever end..." (to the tune Where Have All the Flowers Gone :) )

Oops...one more RAVE: Mrs. Kal arguing again!!!! Great news Kal.
