All the baby pictures posted this week over at Bitches got me to hook up my scanner and pull out my two boxes full of frames and photos, so I can scan and organize them all. I've now some of the more delicate older photos of my great-grandparents (on my dad's mom's side) scanned. Great Grandma Alida looks wonderful in her shirtwaist and Great Grandpa Jesse is very handsome in his stiff collar and tie.
I even found I had a photo of my Great-Great Grandma and her sister and sister's children! I'm glad my grandma and her sister went through the family photos before they passed away and wrote down as many identifications on the backs as they could remember.
Oh, what the hell--number slut!
Scott and I have been watching, don't think I missed an episode (at least not the previous episode, and still asked the same thing.
His hair was looking skank, though. I'm wondering if he lost a bet, and if so -- thank goodness for small favors, because I always thought he was kind of hot 'til he got all goofy looking, this season. Ra-heally Carol, didja know you hair has the recommended da-haily allowance of Vitamin C?
Gah, I didn't realize that happened three times. Sorry, Natter.
Car-ma, please.
Bits of my transmission are on my front yard. Other bits are carefully stored in some bins. My "son" is on his back under the car deciding if the starter needs to be pulled so he can take a look at the gear box. We are in the process of discovering whether Steve Austin, The Six Million Dollar Car, can be revived yet again.
I bought this car for $50 nearly fifteen years ago now. It's had a wheel fall off, the gear plate replaced, etc. etc. It's currently making horrific noises in all gears except third. I like my car, a 1979 Mustang II. It has no radio, the suspension makes worrisome noises, but it's my car. I could afford a replacement if it was a couple of hundred tops, but I'd probably have to spend as much or more in money and grief to keep that on the road.
Come on, Steve, we can rebuild you, we've done it before.
Connie, have you seen last week's HIMYM?
I'd like to nominate Nutty as Most Helpful Buffista. She helped me (or rather, I helped her) switch my refrigerator doors from right to left, which wouldn't have been quite so labor-intensive if we'd gotten the right tools for right from the start. Unfortunately, the last hinge off needed special socket tools in order to get at the hex-headed screws holding it on, and that took two trips to hardware stores in order to find the right size socket-head tool. Oy.
If it hadn't been for that, the whole thing would have taken under an hour.
But now my fridge opens on the side with the counter next to it, so that getting things in and out is so much simpler. Better living through Nutty....
