Froze our tails off this morning. The temp had dropped down into the upper 40s. Oops. I absolutely love the quirky charm this place has. Wonky, uneven floors...everything creaks when you walk (sorry downstairs neighbors!). The heat is a mix of baseboards and cast iron radiators. The windows still have the old pulleys, although they've upgraded from rope to chains. Every room is oddly shaped and has slanted ceilings because of all the dormers. @MichaelS36, unfortunately you'd definitely hit your head on the ceilings. Not tall people friendly. The house was built in 1920 by an owner of one of the local paper mills. It escaped the tornado that blew thru 10 years ago. The mansion across the street got hit. It's all boarded up now. Gorgeous views of the Connecticut River Valley. I'm in my happy place. 3 Link to comment

And it sounds like it would have cost a lot less to begin with. Yup. My fee for that particular would have been $75. Vet farm call $175 plus the analgesics and antibiotics. 4 Link to comment

Don't know if I told you guys about how a customer found a cheaper (free) ride to the last dressage show, only to end up with a vet call when the horse panicked, the guy tried to strong arm the pony, he reared up and hit his head on the roof of the trailer. Well, said lady asked me how much per visit to "fix" the pony who will now not get on the trailer. I quoted a very low price, cover insurance and gas. Last night was second session. Silly lady paid me double what I quoted! I tried to return the overage but their whole crew ganged up on me! Fixing stupid always costs more than doing it properly in the first place. This is a prime example of false economy. I'm glad that she realizes your value Kitt. Take the money. You know what they say about gift horses, right? 5 Link to comment

I had bad pain from my Kidney Stone, so spent time on phone with Doctors. I get to have a 2nd Shockwave treatment on the Stone. So at the moment the pain is being managed with strong painkillers which make me sleepy. Plus I've spent time trying to sort out the last few bits to be emptied from Dad's flat 1 4 2 1 Link to comment

I hope you get the second treatment quickly, and things resolve completely soon. 5 1 Link to comment

Popular Post kbois Posted May 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2021 I spent most of the day with my best friend. She's more like a sister to me really. We had her and her husband over tonight and got take out and played Cards Against Humanity. We laughed so much my sides hurt. I have no idea what set us off but we had one of those episodes where you laugh so hard no sound comes out and you can't breathe. It felt so good. I feel so lucky to have such an amazing friendship that has endured our entire lives. It's rare and I treasure it. We all need "that person" and she's mine. ❤ Have a good night everyone! 1 5 Link to comment

This is probably not what you’re looking for, but anytime it storms, and especially with thunder, this song instantly comes to mind. It’s upbeat, and it conjures fond thoughts of B, because he posted it first. Edited June 1, 2021 by Reader1810 1 3 Link to comment

It's back to being overcast today. The sun is supposed to peek in and out today. I'll believe it when I see it. It's been 5 days of cold, raw and rain. Hubby and I had a little spat this morning. Pretty sure the crappy weather contributed. I'll listen to anything upbeat or if I'm by myself I'll put my U2 playlist on. 3 Link to comment

Have to admit the Disturbed version of SOS is just fantastic. I think I read that when Paul Simon heard it he was just floored by the execution. Obviously I've heard the Imagine Dragons on the radio, never saw the video. Not sure either video would be good for late night viewing, might induce some seriously weird dreams. Oh and double jointed people have ALWAYS freaked me out! 4 Link to comment
