Geeeez...what an afternoon

My son called me around 3 or a little after, to say he needed a ride home from work...his wife had the car, so I headed that way. I hung out for a bit at his house, when we got there, before I decided to head back home. As I was leaving I heard a funny noise coming from the front of the car...and turning the radio down, listened closer, but couldn't really heard what I thought I had heard before. We do have a tire that is bad on the back rear, and I get a litte bit of a vibration noise out of it when I drive...we
ve been told the steel belts are seperated, so I assumed that's what I was hearing. Just as I was getting ready to get back out on the highway to head home, I heard the noise again, so pulled over on the exit ramp, before even getting on the highway to have a look. Nothing looked out of the ordinary, so I just assumed I had a stick or clump of mud caught under the car. I hadn't no more started to speed up going down the highway, than I heard another noise...this time, I could tell that something had flown out from underneath the car...and the noise that I had been hearing stopped, so again I assumed that the stick or mud...whatever it was had been thrown clear. I made it almost 4 miles exactly...shy a couple of hundred yards...from the road that takes you to Columbia's airport, when I heard the most God awful noise....and you're right...there I sat...along side the highway, with a tire FLATTER THAN A PANCAKE!!!! I hate being on the side of the highway like that...people drive so crazy, and they pay no attention to ANYONE (unless it's a cop), that might be pulled off onto the shoulder.

Well...after practically having to crawl into my truck, because I'm so short...to try and dig out the jack, and tire...AHAHAHAHAHA...if that's what you can call those stupid little DONUT things they put in cars these days...and have the audasity to call it a tire. Of course...my next problem was, I am so little...only 5'2", and I barely weigh 100lbs...I could NO MORE BUDGE THOSE LUG NUTS THAN THE MAN IN THE MOON! I was about to think I was going to have to call someone to come change it for me. landon, of course, couldn't come, and he was only 4 miles away...because his wife had the car...which was why I was there in the first place. lol About that time, a gentlemen in a jeep pulled up...with emergency lights going...I wasn't sure who he was...it wasn't Columbia police, or Boone Country Sheriff...His license plate was a State plate, and said Calloway Country Ememgency on the plate, which is a neighboring county...not more than 15 miles from where I was. He was very kind, and finished changing my tire for me...and I thank him very much for his help.

About the time I was getting ready to pull out onto the highway..here came the dad of one of Landon's friends. Dean had called his dad, and they only live about 4 miles in the other direction...lol Of course, like he said when he got there..."I don't see no flat tire."...lol He had seen the emergency vehicle just pull away.

So...finally, after having to drive 55 mph all the way on that silly little tire...with everyone whizzzzzzzzzin' by me...cause I'm going so slow....I finally made it home! I just THANK GOD it wasn't pouring down rain as hard as it was when I went to pick up Landon. It was raining so hard you couldn't see the road. Lev would NOT have been a happy camper, if I'd been sitting along side Hi-way 63 in a torrential downpour, with a flat! I wasn't much of a happy camper even when the sun was shinning. Not to mention that I don't have any money right now to buy another tire. Lee says it sounds like I picked up a nail, and the noise I heard was it getting thrown out...and then it didn't take long. I did see a hole, so that very well could have been it. Like he said...if the nail would have stayed in...I'd probably have made it home fine with no prob. If that's all it is, then hopefully, it will be able to be patched or plugged...only about $10. I could handle that. I just hope it is going to be fixable!

I'm just glad that I am home for good now. Lee should be home in less than an hour...and you can bet that I am IN FOR THE NIGHT.

Sure hope you guys have had a better afternoon than I have. At least I'm home now...so that's all that really matters.

Take care....

Hangin' In There

Well, the past couple of days have been a bit on the yucky side. The temp hasn't been bad, in the upper 60's but no sun, and rainy and damp. Just an all around gloomy past couple of days.

Lee stayed home from work on Wed...he woke up feeling horrible...sinuses, and stuff. Well...he musta breathed on me while he was sleepin', cause I woke up yesterday morning, feeling like I'd been run over by a KW...or Peterbuilt...Or Mac truck, as they use to say! lol My throat was sore, and I know when that starts happening, that the blowing and snotin' isn't too far behind!!!! I felt like warmed over death, most of the day yesterday, and not alot better today. I've been chilly all day, and didn't know if it was just me...or if I was runnin' a temp. Well....I'm definately not doing that. My temp wasn't even normal. lol 97.1 This dry hack and tickle that I can't get out of my throat, is driving me nuts! Not to mention, the nose going like a faucet! Lee always jokes, that he couldn't understand how the body could produce so much snot....lol I mean, I know you gotta get rid of it...but there always seems to be an endless supply, and you wonder where in the world it all comes from! lol Well...guess this is a rather groooooooooooss subj.

I would just as soon not have to get out today, as cruddy as I'm feeling, and the rain. Of course, it has stopped for awhile now. But, need to anyway, to run to the bank, and then to the pharmacy to pick up Lee's insulin. Moriah works this weekend, and will head out to Landon's sometime today...after school. Landon will prob. run by and pick her up when he gets off work. As bad as I'm feeling, and Lee's still not feeling the whippiest either, we prob. won't go out to landon's tonight, but just stay home.

We got a call from Kirk the other day...they have been approved for a home loan, so they're gonna be looking into that. naturally, I'm trying to be excited for them, but with buying a home, it probably means they're not going to be back here to live anytime soon....which is really hard. Of course...he's reading this right now...and probably feeling bad...which I don't want him too. I LOVE YOU KIRK! Him, Eva, Lilly, and Tara-Lee, being so far away, is just really hard at times, and I try not to dwell on it....or I'd be in tears the entire day. I do hope it goes well for them....it's an opportunity that too many people don't get. How I wish we could afford to buy our own place. We did, at one time, and really got screwed on the deal when we sold it. I very often wonder if I'll ever own my own home again, or if I'm going to continue to feed someone else's pocket. I've been doing that most of my life....all but 6 yrs. It is a dream though, that I'll keep in the back of my mind.

Well...guess I'll run. Just thought I'd come in and tell ya about the sick morgan clan. lol Hopefully, this will all be gone in a couple of days...or at least the worst of it!

Hope ya all have a great day!

Much love,
Lev

VASELINE SURVEY

A man doing market research knocked on a door and was greeted by a young woman with three small children running around at her feet. He says, "I'm doing some research for Vaseline. Have you ever used the product?" She says, "Yes. My husband and I use it all the time." "And if you don't mind me asking, what do you use it for?" "We use it for sex." The researcher was a little taken back. "Usually people lie to me and say that they use it on a child's bicycle chain or to help with a gate hinge. But, in fact, I know that most people do use it for sex. I admire you for your honesty. Since you've been frank so far, can you tell me exactly how you use it for sex?" The woman says, "I don't mind telling you at all... My husband and I put it on the door knob and it keeps the kids out."

Just a HI

Just droppin' in to say a quick "HI".

THIS IS MY KINDA DAY! It has been soooo beautiful here today...almost 80...ab out 78 last I checked. Boy, have I been lovin' it! Got my shorts on...and runnin' around outside barefoot! My plants are enjoying it as well. I've had them out all day. They're so starved for light after being cooped up inside all winter. We're suppose to get rain after midnight, and into tomorrow. I'm sure they'll love that good drenching as well.

I DO hope that you've had a wonderful and beautiful a day as I have.

Much love

When I'm An Old Lady

When I'm an old lady, I'll live with each kid,
And bring so much happiness...just as they did.
I want to pay back all the joy they've provided.
Returning each deed! Oh, they'll be so excited!
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)
I'll write on the wall with reds, whites and blues,
And I'll bounce on the furniture...wearing my
shoes.
I'll drink from the carton and then leave it out.
I'll stuff all the toilets and oh, how they'll
shout!
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)
When they're on the phone and just out of reach,
I'll get into things like sugar and bleach.
Oh, they'll snap their fingers and then shake their
head,
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)
When they cook dinner and call me to eat,
I'll not eat my green beans or salad or meat,
I'll gag on my okra, spill milk on the table,
And when they get angry...I'll run...if I'm able!
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)
I'll sit close to the TV, through the channels I'll
click,
I'll cross both eyes just to see if they stick.
I'll take off my socks and throw one away,
And play in the mud 'til the end of the day!
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)
And later in bed, I'll lay back and sigh,
I'll thank God in prayer and then close my eyes.
My kids will look down with a smile slowly
creeping,
And say with a groan, "She's so sweet when she's
sleeping!"
God Bless All Moms and Grandmas and Greatgrandmas
Everywhere!

droppin in to yack some...

It has been absolutely BEAUTIFUL here the past three days. It has been like summer! Monday, it was in the upper 60's , yesterday hit about 74, and we're currently around 71 now. It's been absolutely FANTASTIC! However...it is to get down to about 41 tonight...and only in the mid 50's tomorrow, with a chance of rain, and dipping down even farther into the 30 tomorrow night. The days look like they're going to be half way decent, but the night time temps are gonna be down in the 30's. I took all my plants out on Sunday, it was so beautiful, and they've enjoyed 3 great days of sunshine...which they are desperately starved for, after being cooped up inside all winter. I will have to pull them in tonight though, and will prob. take them out tomorrow, so they can soak up some of the rain we're suppose to be getting. So, it looks like I'll be taking them in and out of the house for the next few days, till we can get back up to these 50 degree nights that we've been having.

They put Lee's mom in the hosp. last night. She blacked out at home, and then again at the drs. office yesterday, so needless to say, they admitted her. She was dehydrated, and her iron is really, really low, so they're taking care of those problems. So far, nothing else has shown up, and they're thinking she will go home tomorrow sometime.

landon went to the ER last night, at about 3am. He's been having some stomach prob...his gut hurting him pretty bad, and even some blood in his urine, which I immediately told him he needed to have checked out.....that is NOT a good sign. Well...you know how kids are at times about listening to their parents...even after they're grown...hehehehe, and he waited, till the pain hit him last night till it was unbearable. Turns out...he's got kidney stones, and the dr. figures that what's the discomfort has been about over the past few days, and the extreme pain last night. She says he's probably though the worst of it now. He's not feelin' too whoopie though!!!

Lee and I finally got the garage cleaned out on Monday. There is still some stuff to do, but we need to get more shelving first, and as broke as we are right now, I don't see that happening anytime soon. Hopefully, we'll get to it eventually. but, it is nice, that you can now walk through the garage, without fear of falling and breakin' your neck...and I kid you not...it was just about that bad. Like going through a maze!!!! lol It's always a pain in the butt to do, but I always feel better after it's done. How long it will last....that's a different story! lol

Hope everyone is doin' great! Just wanted to drop in and say "hey", and fill ya in the past few days. I suppose nothing super tramatic...which is always good...the less trama and drama in my life....the better!

Hope you had a great day, and enjoy your evening!

Much love,
Lev

To the Extreme!!!!

Is this MAYBE just a tad bit extreme!!!
German man chainsaws house in two in divorce split - Yahoo! News

TGIF

I am sooooo glad it is finally Friday. It's always good when the weekend gets here.
It is suppose to be close to 60 today, but you'd sure not know it by the way it feels right now. It's about 48, but it has been raining since I've been up, the sky all cloudy and grey. Not the ideal 60 degree day we're suppose to have. A little sunshine would be preferred, over the rain. I'm not sure if it's suppose to do this all day or not. It would be nice if the sun would decide to peek out, at least sometime before the day is over. That would make the 60 seem much better, rather than all this cold, damp and gloomy stuff I'm having to look at now.

Landon will be stopping by after he gets off work to get Moriah. She works this weekend, so it's back out to Landon's for the next couple of days. It's been almost a yr. now, that she's been working at Mc Donald's, and she has really enjoyed it. We're really proud of her that she's stuck with this, considering it was her first ever job. You never know how these young kids are going to react to "the real world"...hehehehehe. There have been a couple of times, that we went to do something, and she wasn't able to go, due to having to work, but that was something that we explained to her when she first considered starting a job...that it might mean not getting to go do certain things, if she was scheduled for work, and was not able to get off. It hasn't happened too many times, but she has always been a good sport about it, and never complained that she had to stay and work. She's probably done less complaining that I have, on days that I had to end up working. lol

Well...we're not sure what will be happening in Columbia tomorrow. HOPEFULLY, nothing!

Aryan agenda includes creating white nation :click above for article

We have heard...or it's going around town, that S.W.A.T. from K.C. is to be here, and city Law Enforcement, are encouraging Columbia residents to not even show up...for fear that something might go awry! Of course...this is EXACTLY what these people would LOVE!!! Just more attention for them. But...I know that there will be some who just HAVE to show up, and unfortunately, they probably won't be able to keep their mouths shut like they should. I just pray that this doesn't turn into a huge disaster! Columbia is a very culturally diverse community, with the college here. We have Black, Asian, Islamic, Hindu, Jewish, and it is also has a fairly good sized gay community. These are just PRIME pickins' for these type of people. It is very scary to think of the horrors that could come out of it. IF...AND I REPEAT IF....Columbia's could keep their mouths shut....I'd personally like to see the ENTIRE CITY OF COLUMBIA....show up for this march, and as these ....I don't even know what to call them(they're not human), ....came marching down the street...I'd like to see every Columbian turn their backs to them as they walk by. BOY....these kind of people just send me over the edge, and stir a spark in me that at times I feel will just blow! I just cannot phathom anyone CLAIMING to be better than anyone else, due the color of their skin, or there religious beliefs. GOD IS NO RESPECTOR OF PERSONS!!!!! If He isn't...then what gives us as humans the right to think we're different. There is probably nothing that discust me more that racism, bigotry, and prejudice!!!! It SICKENS me!!! It is for this very reason, that we raised all our children to see the individual...not the color of their skin...or their worshipping practices. We always told them that it isn't what shows on the outside, but what is in the heart that really counts. I am very proud to say, that NONE of my children have grown up with such hatred in their hearts, for another human. Kirk...our son, married a wonderful girl of Aboriginal decent...and the color of her skin has nothing to do with the love she holds in her heart. Personally, I know that I have nothing to be ashamed of, for the treatment that some of these minorities have had to suffer over hundreds of years. But...as a white...anglo-saxon....there are times I'm almost embarrased to say that I am....white. What "our" race did to the Jews, during WWII....what we did to the African Americans during the slave days....how we ran our Native Americans from their lands, and slaughtered them....it absolute disgust me!!!! I'm sure there are some who will not agree...saying, "but I didn't do those things". True...neither did I...but it doesn't keep me from feeling the disgust, that ANY HUMAN...regardless of color, could inflict such pain on another. It is totally incomprehensible to me! How I dream and pray that one day, we can all look at each other as fellow humans, with no restraints applied because of skin color, or sexual preference, or religious beliefs. But...all to sad, I feel it is probably far in the future, and something I don't know I'll ever see in my lifetime.... I ask that you all just say a little prayer, that God keeps our town safe, and free of conflict tomorrow. The vast majority of Columbias are VERY UPSET, over this organization coming to our city.

Well, at some point I need to get out today...and this sure isn't the day to be out running around. I imagine I'll wait and see if this rain stops, and hopefully the sun come out later on, if if doesn't...then I guess I'll just have to get out in it anyway. I don't really have that much to do, and shouldn't take me probably much longer than 30 mins. or so. Just need to run to the bank...which is just a couple of blocks away...and to the store...which is just about 4 miles...so, hopefully, I'll be back home, and out of the rain, before long. If this dreary, rainy, day keeps up, I think it might just be a 'soup night' for supper. Nothing beats a bowl of hot soup, on a rainy day!

I guess I'll head outta here....just wanted to drop in and say "HEY"...since it's been while since I touched base with yall!
I hope you've all had a GREAT week, and I hope you have a WONDERFUL weekend coming up! Take care...

Much love,
Lev

Grace at a restaurant

Last week, I took my children to a restaurant.My six-year-old son asked if he could say grace.As we bowed our heads he said, "God is good, God is great. Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more if Mom gets us ice cream for dessert. And Liberty and justice for all! Amen!"Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby, I heard a woman remark, "That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't even know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why, I never!"Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me, "Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?"As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job, and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table.He winked at my son and said, "I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer.""Really?" my son asked."Cross my heart," the man replied.Then, in a theatrical whisper, he added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing), "Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes."Naturally, I bought my kids ice cream at the end of the meal. My son stared at his for a moment, and then did something I will remember the rest of my life.He picked up his sundae and, without a word, walked over and placed it in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her, "Here, this is for you. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes; and my soul is good already."The EndI love this story!Please keep it moving.Sometimes, we all need some ice cream.I hope God sends you some Ice Cream today!

SAND AND STONE

TWO FRIENDS WERE WALKING THROUGH THE DESERT. DURING SOME POINT OF THE JOURNEY, THEY HAD AN ARGUMENT; AND ONE FRIEND SLAPPED THE OTHER ONE IN THE FACE. THE ONE WHO GOT SLAPPED WAS HURT, BUT WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING, WROTE IN THE SAND: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE. THEY KEPT ON WALKING, UNTIL THEY FOUND AN OASIS, WHERE THEY DECIDED TO TAKE A BATH. THE ONE WHO HAD BEEN SLAPPED GOT STUCK IN THE MIRE AND STARTED DROWNING, BUT THE FRIEND SAVED HIM. AFTER HE RECOVERED FROM THE NEAR DROWNING, HE WROTE ON A STONE: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE. THE FRIEND WHO HAD SLAPPED AND SAVED HIS BEST FRIEND ASKED HIM, "AFTER I HURT YOU, YOU WROTE IN THE SAND AND NOW, YOU WRITE ON A STONE, WHY?" THE OTHER FRIEND REPLIED "WHEN SOMEONE HURTS US WE SHOULD WRITE IT DOWN IN SAND WHERE WINDS OF FORGIVENESS CAN ERASE IT AWAY. BUT, WHEN SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING GOOD FOR US, WE MUST ENGRAVE IT IN STONE WHERE NO WIND CAN EVER ERASE IT." LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.

THEY SAY IT TAKES A MINUTE TO FIND A SPECIAL PERSON, AN HOUR TO APPRECIATE THEM, A DAY TO LOVE THEM, BUT THEN AN ENTIRE LIFE TO FORGET THEM. SEND THIS PHRASE TO THE PEOPLE YOU'LL NEVER FORGET. I JUST DID.

How's your weekend?

Just thought I'd drop in for a quick "HI", and see how everyone's weekend is going so far. Guess it's going pretty good on this end. I slept in, and that is always a favorite thing to do on the weekend...being the lazy person that I am...lol

I got an email from Kirk. He's been away from home for a few days, working on a road crew about 2 hours from Mt. Gambier. He'll be gone for about 1 week, but the pay is great. He says it's a pretty neat job...and he's learned how to drive one of those big highway rollers...which he said was pretty awesome. The company supplies accomidations while they're working there, and they've got a little bungalow type place right on the beach. Can't get much better than that, I wouldn't think. He says he does miss his "girls" , though, especially now that Lilly is home, and then he has to take right off for this job. He has another one waiting that is closer to home, once this one is over.

I don't know that we have much planned for today. I do have some Avon books to pass out, and some orders to collect today sometime, since my next order goes in tomorrow. It was suppose to be a little warmer today, than I believe it is, and we had talked about trying to get some work done on the garage, and we have to get our Christmas lights down(got a letter from my landlord...asking me to remove them)....geeezzzz they said one of the neighbors said something!!!! Do you believe that people don't have ANYTHING better to do, than complain because their neighbors haven't taken Christmas lights down....lol....and like we've had the most beautiful weather, to be crawlin' around on the roof!!!!! GIVE ME A BREAK! Well, always said that if they're giving me a hard time, just means they're leaving somebody else alone. It seems like I'm the only one they NEVER leave alone. I'm gonna at least try to get Lee to take them down today, even if we don't get to the garage...which something tells me we probably won't.

Moriah worked this weekend, so I imagine at some point today, we'll either go get her, or landon will bring her home when he gets off work, around 3. We'll get ahold of them later, and find out what the deal is.

Well, guess I'll run. Just wanted to say "HI", and touch base with you all this morning. Hope you have a great day, and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Much love,
Lev

New Pictures

Well, I just got new pictures of Eva and Lilly, and even though it's late, I just have to show them to you all. Lilly is 3 weeks old now, and Tara-Lee says she growing like a weed. Her face is starting to fill out, and Tara-Lee says she's starting to look more like her. She is darker complected than Eva was, so Tara-Lee's Aboriginal blood is poppin' out in her more than it did Eva. Of course, Kirk's always been dark complected too...he has some Apache in him.

But...they're just ADORABLE...as always, so wanted to pass them on for you to see. Hope you enjoy them!

Much love,
Lev

Bad American

I LOVE George Carlin...he is just toooooo hilarious!!!!!
YES, I'M A BAD AMERICANby: George Carlin
I Am Your Worst Nightmare. I am a BAD American. I am George Carlin.
I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some midlevel governmental functionary be it Democratic or Republican!
I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!
I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer, it makes you a smartAmerican.
I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, anddoes not entitle you to anything.
I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, do it in English.
I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when andwhere they want to.
My heroes are John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and whoever canceledJerry Springer.
I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.
I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching orarguing about it.
I've never owned a slave, or was a slave! I haven't burned anywitches or been persecuted by the Turks and neither have you! So,shut up already.
I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to whereyou came from and change your own country! This is AMERICA.
I want to know which church it is exactly where the Reverend JesseJackson preaches, where he gets his money, and why he is always partof the problem and not the solution. Can I get an AMEN on that one?
I think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry rear if you'rerunning from them..
I also think they have the right to pull you over if you're breakingthe law, regardless of what color you are.
And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my drivers license. Ithink it's good.....and I'm proud that "God" is written on my money.
I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don'twant you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation inthe world for the next four years.
I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sellme stuff or trying to guilt me into making "donations" to their cause.
I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takestwo parents.
And what is going on with gas prices...again?
I believe "illegal" is illegal no matter what the lawyers think.
I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed in AMERICA!
If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American.
If you are a BAD American too, please forward this to everyone youknow.
We want our country back!
We NEED GOD BACK IN OUR COUNTRY!
I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find outthere isn't,Than live my life as if there isn't, and die to find out there is.

BLOWIN' MY TOP

Okay...time to come in and just BLOW, to everybody!!!!!!!
I was on hold for 50mins., trying to get through to my cable company!!!!!!!!!!!!! Geeeeeeezzzzzz...anyone that needs a job....apply to Mediacom....they need help and phone reps BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!! I've never been soooooooo discusted in my life! I got sick and tired, and tired and sick, as bill cosby would say, of hearing what was going to be on mediacom this month!!!!! And I even got sicker, and tirederer(lol) of hearing that sweet voice tell me.... "...Thank you for your patience. Your call is important to us. Please stay on the line for the next available representative." Do you think I heard it enough???????????? I have it memorized!!!! Then, on top of that....I have to deal with my company. My payment was due, but I couldn't pay the entire bill, since we needed money to make our trip last weekend, but I made a partial payment, thinking/hoping that would do till we got back. I was going to pay the balance today, when Lee got paid. So....I preceeded to give my mom a call....on the cell phone, much to my surprise, it wouldn't go through. They had shut it off!!!! So....I don't have a cell right now, nor does Lee, nor Moriah. Anyway....I call the company to find out just how much I need to turn it back on....Lee's already been to the bank, and I want to pay this so they'll turn them back on. I find out the amt. that's due, and go online to make my payment. THEY WON'T LET ME MAKE A PAYMENT!!!!!! You can ONLY make 2 payments on line, every 14 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So...I have to wait till tomorrow to go pay the bill and get them turned back on. I had checked my bank statement online, so knew how much lee had deposited, and how much cash he kept out, so I decided to call him at work, and ask him he would want to go by and pay it after work, so we'd have the phones for later tonight, or to tell him that I'd just do it tomorrow, IF, he didn't want to stop. Well...I know he probably went out for lunch, so I wasn't quite sure if he'd have enough. If he didn't, it would only be by a few dollars, so when I called, and explained to him, and then asked him if he had that much on him, to see if he wanted to do that or not, he immediately gave one of his "huffs"....and then told me it would empty his pocket. WELL...after spending 50 mins. onhold with the cable company, his 'HUFF' didn't suit well with me...lol, and I just said, FORGET IT....I'LL DO IT TOMORROW! He didn't give me the chance to tell him I'd RPLACE THE MONEY, tomorrow, when I could get to the bank. The only reason I called him, was because I thought he might want his cell tonight! Of course...if I HAND'T have called him, and then told him the story when he got home....he'd have ask me why I didn't call him and have him go by and pay it!!!! So...guess it makes no difference.....I CAN'T win for loosing!!!!!
And you say people that have been married 28 yrs don't have fights. Boy....he ticks me off when he just blurts in...assuming he knows what I'm going to say, or ask!!!! Of course, you know what "ass u me" does,....right? Makes an "ass our of u and me"....!!!!
Wow....I feel much better....lol! I can't really say that I've ever come in and spouted off like that....hehehehehe Maybe I've found a new form of therapy! lol Usually me emails to you are a tad bit calmer! haha Well, guess I've probably just showed a side of me that some of you never knew I had! lol It's buried deep down there, someplace, but really doesn't come out that often. lol Or at least i don't think so.
If nothing else...maybe you got a good chuckle!
Have a great evening!
Much love,
Lev
LOL.....something I just realized that is a bit "satisfying" If he decides to play "good boy", and go buy to pay the cell anyway....I don't think he'll be able to, cause he doesn't know the password. lol And, the cells are under my name...so you have to know the password to do anything on the account. Guess I'll find out in a bit. He should be home in about 20 mins....unless he stops by the phone place. lol

This tells us why we should run things through snopes before getting upset over emails. I personally also decided to stay away from a computer while running a fever.
Correction: New Dollar Coin - "IN GOD WE TRUST" is on the sides!!!!
The "In God We Trust" is inscribed on the side of the coin. You can go to the web-site and see the sets.
I hope you feel better now -- I was on a roll too 'till I checked it out; just thought I would share =:)
These coins will feature larger, more dramatic artwork, as well as edge-incused inscriptions of the year of minting or issuance, "E Pluribus Unum," "In God We Trust" and the mint mark. Although the size, weight and metal composition of the new Presidential $1 Coin will be identical to that of the Sacagawea Golden Dollar, there are several unique features that make this coin distinctive.
.
This new coin came out this month.
