Freaky Friday Rants and Raves -- 10/29
 

Well, I feel like I'm sitting in someone else's swimming pool, but, I guess I'll start it. Where the heck are all the usual starters?

Rave: I have the day off, and I don't have to go anywhere this weekend. Don't get me wrong, I love to travel, but it's nice to have a weekend at home every so often.

Rant: Had to replace the battery in my car this week. Took me 3 days to get it jump-started good enough to drive it to the mechanic shop. Got home late that night and discovered I'd forgotten to pay the water bill. Grrrr ...

Rant-to-be: I'm gonna be embarrassed if somebody beat me to this ...

Rant: I posted on the wrong FFRR--the one you wrote to jor! Oh well...

OneWanderingJew: I'll answer you on this thread, and maybe the other post will fizzle. My daughter had the same scary test results with her 2nd child. She had to go out of town for extensive (also expensive) ultrasound tests every month. Nothing abnormal ever showed up after the first test, and the baby was born perfectly healthy. I'll keep my fingers crossed that your baby will be fine, too.

Rave: It is almost Friday and I get to spend the weekend relaxing.

Rave: My BF is getting ready to pop the question!

Rant: My best friend just moved to San Diego.

Rant: There goes my cell phone bill - as if it was not high enough already!

Oh yeah, by the way ... multiple posts are welcome.

Rave: Daughter is knee deep in college apps. I am thankful that she has lots of options. ((Y))

Rant: Options = decisions= stress. My husband is in California this week, so I am the sole beneficiary of her stress. :`(

Rant: It was raining and traffic was awful coming home this afternoon. ((N))

Rave: Saw a great rainbow as I came up the final stretch into Manoa. ((R))

Rave: the BMW M 6 is on the way to CA and I have 80% of my 1993 purchase price in the bank.

Rave: the buyers (no agent and "as is") of my house (visitors @ my garage sale last w/e) have qualified and the inspector is coming today.

Rant: Voted early (7:00) on Thurs AM and still waited 35 min - nearly all were doing a straight Republican ticket so it was faster than I thought given the lines.

Rant: Texas is going Republican, so my vote is simply a confirmation. I (and my many dead relatives) tried to vote in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, but...

Rant: Microsoft Internet Explorer crashed big time today - took 12 hours to reconstruct - solution: http:/ptech.wsj.com/archive/ptech-20040916.html
Should have done that when it was published a couple weeks ago.

Rant: Despite my Seer 19 A/C, my electric bill is rising - $0.107/KWH this month c/w $0.094/KWH last several.

Rave: The many charities coming to clean out the junk in my house left over from the 1 day garage sale.

Happy fin de semana.

Rant: I just came home from vacation in Napa, SF, and Vegas.

Rant: Now I have to go back to real life.

Rant: Why can't my life be a constant vacation?

Sorry--post vacation grouchiness. :(

Rant: I have a farting dog but shes not in my car she is right beside me in the dining room. Her name is Alyson Marie, a black cocker Spaniel. She will not go out and do her thing because it is raining.
Rant: I have a dental appointment at 10:30 and I am so nervous. Is anyone else afraid of their dentist?
Rave: After the dental appointment, if I am still alive I am going to Edinboro to visit my son in college.
RANT: The steelers play New England on Sunday at the same time our town is having trick or treating. GO STEELERS.

I think this is the thread # 3 I'm reading this freaky Friday. Must be the Halloween.
