THE OFFICIAL: Open Conversation Place

....the weddings stop and all I go to are wakes and funerals now. It's much cheaper.

And the good ones they serve food at.

I went to the Ford dealer today to look at a new pick up, they had a Harley Sportster on the floor with 400 miles. I've got to say I really let my imagination run wild, I could see sexy girls, wind in my face, the open road, Captain America. Then I woke up and realized that I'm an air conditioned leather heated seat kind of person and sexy was a term that I haven't used to describe anything I've done in a long time. Oh well maybe Volvo will come out with a hot rod.

Hi Fran
Go for the Sportster. Great on gas and definately a babe magnet. All you'll have to worry about is a little road rash now and then. Hugs.

Love
Jeannie

Heh. That was a very, uh, sexy, post, Fran! I say: Go for the Volvo every time. (Of course, a Lamborghini Murcielago would be fine, too!)

Love,
CJ

A Lamborghini, I could go for one of them. After the first few nights of living in it my back might be a little sore. I got the anticipated reaction at home though about the bike - you kook, when are you going to ride and who is going to pay for it. See they look at it as - if he spends it there is less for me. Anyway, I was so tempted, I even researched getting a motorcycle license here. Take a written test pay 21 bucks, take a class in place of the road test and you've got your license. Then off to the dealer, well its a long winter and not much to do but dream and study.

Saved a life today.

This morning I woke about a half hour early, and thus finished my pool workout earlier than usual.

After my workout I climbed into the hot tub so the jets could massage my weak ankle.

One of the guys was doing some squatting exercises for his MS beside the tub, like usual. Then he sat on the edge for a break, and the next thing I knew he fell back into the water, rolled over and wasn't getting up on his own.

I lifted him up and he was out of it. Looked like seizure or something. I then called the lifeguard over. That portion of the hot tub isn't visible from the lifeguard's chair. The lifeguard radioed for help, 911 was called, and I recruited a couple of others to help lift him out of the tub and onto a backboard. About 15 minutes later they were taking him to the hospital. He didn't want to go, but his BP was something like 70/35 and the EMT talked him into it.

[Carol Ann]

WOW, BP 70/35. I complain all the time if mine drops below 65, got to watch that stuff.

[Curly(SO)]

Well done Hun

You must feel really good

[CJ]

Good show, Donna!

Truly, where would we be without each other, eh?

Love,
CJ

[Frances Jewell]

Fantastic Donna, lucky thing that you were observant and got involved.

Hugs

I have gotten a couple of Pms and I love it It's nice to know that there are other girls out there. Have even chatted on the Phone with jJan Marie, she is very sweet.

A sample package arrived in the mail yesterday. Addressed to a Sarah A. P*****.

I tossed it to my wife, saying "you get to be Sarah." She opened it and tossed the contents to me, lipgloss. I guess I got to be Sarah, instead.

At work we moved our Office over the weekend about 5 blocks further down K street between 20th and 21st.

For some reason, even though we still have Verizon, now I don't get any errors when I try to post.

Connection seems a little faster too.

I had a good Thankgiving. Went to the granddaughters and helped her finish up the meal. She planned on serving at noon and we had it ready and on the table by 1202. Wife was sick so she didn't get to go, but we fixed her a plate and I brought it back to her. I have spent the rest of the weekend trying to get caught up which is a never ending job.

My thanksgiving was eventful. Our sink clogged earlier in the day and when I used the plunger to clear the clog I blew a hole in the rusty pipe. So I spent part of the morning trying to get the pipe off to replace it. That did not happen so I had to come up with a way to patch it. My roommate came up with the idea. We cut a soda can and wrapped it around the hole in the pipe. While working to get the pipe off the cold water hose broke. We could not get that replaced till Friday being that all of the hardware stores were closed on Thanksgiving. Then yesterday our main line clogged and the wash machine backed water up in to the kitchen sink. We tried a whole house clog remover and that did not work. So this morning I got up and opened up a clean out pipe on the outside of the house and ran the snake up the pipe and cleared the clog using my drill to spin the snake.
