Good news, erika. I'm glad you have someone on your side, even if she isn't ideal, it's good that she is willing to help.
Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I have really bad neck pain. I also have Vicodin, a heating pad, and Animaniacs DVDs. I hope something in this combination helps.
That sounds like a magic combination, actually. Fingers crossed that it helps.
After I know he's turned his report in, I will, with either medicare or the visiting physicians' group he's with (whose logo was displayed on his jacket, bag, and car), or both
What a giant asshole. I'm glad you are, as you say, mentally healthy and able to not shoot yourself down, but also competent to kick his ass professionally. Jesus. Completely inappropriate (and doesn't tend to give confidence that he will treat your father or any other patient with care and respect, if he can't even treat not-his-patients with it).
It's just weird, cause some places in my life...helpless is good. But when I'm writing or talking politics I have to be all "check me out, I'm mad competent,"
Well, yeah. Helpless in body and needing that assistance has zip to do with competence in brain. :)
Well, the Vicodin, rather than making me silly like it usually does, seems to be making me morose, and I'm stuck in a "why don't I have a boyfriend?" loop. And it's helping the pain some, but not enough, so I took some more. (Still within the limits of how much I'm supposed to have, but more than I usually need.)
My onerous tasks, which were not terribly onerous but had to be done, we're talking to Biyi's parents about modifications to the house to make them feel more at home, and about optional excursions on the NZ cruise we're taking next month. Work was the anti-onerous Friday. My boss was very pleased with the most excellent work I've done this week; and then he cancelled a deadline I had for next week. It was for one of our marketing efforts, but it hasn't been bearing fruit, so we're pulling it. (That's ok, we've been getting results through another avenue.) Now I have more time to get something up and running properly.
A good friend was just called in. I officially hate this war.I hated the war the second you had to take cover. Now I hate it even more. It got me thinking religion today, I will say that. So? If I pray for your well being, for you and your loved ones, is that then asking god to redirect the attacks away from you? Which would then cause pain to others I don't know. Which seems mighty selfish. So. I can't pray for that. But I want you to be safe. So, if I were the praying type, I pray for peace. I think it's the only non-selfish way about it. And if there is a god who actually answers prayers and stuff, I would think/hope s/he would answer the least selfish of prayers. Stay safe Shir! And know, if you need a refuge station, you are more than welcome here at casa de OmnisAudis.
IOmeN - Closet dude came by to do an estimate. Liked these guys a LOT better than Closet World. Family operation. CnC machine to cut the custom doors. Computer drafting. Much better sense of what the closet would look like. Guy knew what he was talking about. Yadda yadda yadda. We talked closet door options. He was saying, with the width of my closet opening, that hinged doors really isn't an option. I would have to frame in a center post area, it would eat into the closet opening about 6-8", it would take drywall, etc. Add a lot of cost. He showed their track door system. No tracks on the floor to step on and hurt feet, and double wheel in a uni-strut type of track above, so no chance of the door falling off the track. Which were the two reasons I hate sliding doors. So, viable option with these guys. Buuuut. Then we got to pricing. The doors alone were the same price as Closet World doors AND closet shelves/drawers/rods! And the interior shelves/drawers/rods was basically the same price again. So. Twice the cost of Closet World. Uggg. Can't afford that. Pisses me off. Very upset. So. Still have big gaping hole for a closet, and not enough rod for all my clothes. I'm going to hit Home Depot and Lowe's this weekend, I know they have closet organizer stuff. It's not as high end, and do it yourself, so, it might be more affordable. But the doors thing are still in limbo. It's because the damn thing is so wide. Which is great for a closet, but sucks donkey balls trying to buy a door for the damn thing. Grumble grumble.
I installed a John Louis system like this [link] Omnis. It was pretty easy to install, except for one failure of mine to measure twice, cut once.
Also, you said at one time that there were Ikea wardrobes that wouldn't quite fill the space. Could you get a carpenter to add narrow shelves and trim?
I didn't make it to the gym today. I overdid it with core exercises yesterday, and my stomach rebelled. With the stomach ick and general exhaustion I did not have enough spoons to do errands with friend and work out, so I chose errands because I had already made plans to do that and I need a few things to bring with me to Mom's next week.
we used that rail system and these types of panels
for our closet -- I lose too much space with sliders and bifold doors are expense and we have very little space in our 10 by 10 bedroom . and with a little effort the faric panels vould be any thing
for an nontraditional solution
