thanks, steve.

singapore society has been increasingly anti government in recent years. but even the disaffected seem to have put aside their differences to mourn his passing. flags are to be flown at half mast on all state buildings today, and for the rest of the week. the city is very solemn and quiet this morning.

Flying to Seattle on 6 May 2014!

1. Then it didn't happen, no D ma'am.

2. You did skip the sale, because it didn't happen, see and no ma'am! Are all the youngsters continuously popping in to ask how Mommy feels, huh ma'am?

Lucas has figured out how to climb up on the couch and anything next to it. :crying:

It's in his job description and will firmly be for several months, si D ma'am.

Oh man I feel even worse now. Super dizzy and hillbilly is being an ###.

If he loves you, he will offer you medicine or at least suggest that you take it. Mrs. T-B. learned that when a gringo offers you a pill or suggests that you take one, it's true love, si man.

"BCBG" sounds like a discredited tuberculosis procedure, yuck man.

Spent fully 2 hours in store, exhaustion man.

Weekend resale experience reminded us why we switched to GSs, expen$ive man.

Returned to casa and did Many (2+2+1) laundry loads, egad man.

With nonessential load remaining for tomorrow, set new weekend record total, drumroll man.

Total = Many (2x2x2+1) loads, Thread Laundress report man.

Secret to laundering success is to react right at finish of each cycle, si man.

Above not done today, sigh man.

Betwixt launderings, mowed lawn, squishy underfoot man.

Good strategic and cosmetic move, si man.

Cool weather mandated use of only Many (2+1) sweatbands, whee man.

No mosquitoes yet, look out man.

Damp grass precluded snot with lawn-macromolecules in it, blow off man.

No hormigas visible, waterlogged little suckers man.

Body not as wracked and aching with pain as before, jury still out man.

Mrs. T-B. baked store-brand pizzas for dinner, theoretical yum man.

Ginsu knife ineffective on second 'za, vulcanized man.

Actually got nap, much-needed zzz man.

Mrs. T-B. again forgot to awaken us at begged-for time, ADD she man.

Awoke just in time to view late TV weather report, serendipity man.

The first thing he asks every time is if he needs to take me to the doctors :rolleyes: I swear he would see the doctor for every little cold before he met me.

I've notice the resale shops prices getting to be a little ridiculous heck walmart and kmart for somethings is cheaper and that is nuts. Have you hecked the salvation army? The ones here are cheaper then the other resale stores.

Tbone, how do you always have so much laundr? I did laundry and we had 2+1 loads, which I may have been able to make into 2 if I tried. Between 2 adults and a child, at most I have 2x2+1.
