Ray's House of Love (Volume II)

Hey gang. I don't know why I'm tired all the time - I'm pretty much over being sick physically, and I had this problem before I went to Lala-land. I try to study or play guitar or do anything at home that requires concentration and I seem to keel over. I get tired at my job too because it's mind-bruisingly boring, but there's enough constant terror to keep me awake there, ironically. Frustrating...
Speaking of Lala-land, echo the happy birthday to Orson Welles. I'm still buzzed a little from seeing his movie on the most historic big screen of all, and so I relish that a little. I may have to watch Ed Wood tonight that will wake me up...

I think you should be telling your doctor this. You may not be over being sick physically.

Mario -I was tired all the time until finally I was sleeping all weekend and physically hurt by Friday from fatigue. I told my doc and he ran a few tests then sent me to a sleep doc and I had a sleep study- gota cpap and now i a
A lot better.

That's good to know. Thanks, you guys.

Hope you had fun on the trip, Maryn.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you!!!

I hope everyone had a great weekend. It was an incredible one for me. Our local YMCA father-daughter Indian Princesses program had a weekend camp-out at Camp Sea Gull (coastal NC, on the Neuse River). It was a great time with BB guns, archery, boat rides, canoeing, crafts, sifting for shark teeth, basketball, and a three-story zip-line into a lake. Food was great and plentiful, and the evening campfire included skits, a good scary story, and professional fireworks. There were 350 campers in a camp that can handle 800, so there was very little waiting in lines. Fizzette had a grand time, and even made a nice Mother's Day gift in the crafts area. Next weekend is a Boy Scout camping trip with Little Fizzy. Memories in the making.

Rich, not quite Grizzly Adams or Jeremiah Johnson

Fizz, that sounds amazing! I'm sure your kids are loving all of the Dad-time they're getting.

We could do a HOLer camping trip for families, couples, and singles. Might make for some interesting tent gossip, and give tip opportunities for the towel boy...

The super chemical-y stuff plus the heat gun is not doing the job. Can I just move?

I did most of my growing up in a house with 'horsehair plaster'. I remember more wall than paper coming away each time.

Sassandgroove makes homemade jam that's as good as any I've ever had.

Better than Mum's crabapple 2010?

I find that hard to believe, but am eager to be proved wrong

I saw the natives throwing stones at this strange orb today.

Ben, stealing Maryn's sign-off for no good purpose.

I couldn't camp out. I hate bugs and I want indoor plumbing.

Maybe you just need more coffee? Or more ?

Ill pitch in Maryn..Im pretty handy with a paintbrush.

I'd love to help, but I must go serve the cause of bureaucracy and inane governmental control by having my car emissions tested. I expect a long line, an exorbitant fee, followed by an excessively long wait at the DMV, three creepy guys asking me what I'm reading, a surly agent, screaming children, at least one mental breakdown in the crowd, misdirected paperwork, an outrageous fee to change the license to my name, incorrect information, another insane fee to license the car for a year, and a headache.

Maybe it would be better to hide out in Maryn's bathroom.

I know a guy who got arrested for that.

Ben, watching Archer.

Me too. I use it to slather barbeque sauce over a slab of ribs.

Mr. Komnena and I have spent the day at the doctor's where hopefully they removed all the cancer.

You know, a lot is wrong with the government of my state, but our DMV seems to be a lot better than the ones other people have to deal with. Last time I had to go, I was in and out in maybe 25 minutes.

Better get me your address because wherever you are, that's where I'm moving.

45 minutes in line to get tested, then the guy administering the test drops my keys between the seat and the console where even my tiny fingers can't reach them. Another 20 minutes and p.o.ed motorists later, I fish them out with a popsicle stick. Then I spent another 2 hours at the DMV and didn't even get served because I had to pick up monkeys from school. I get to do it again tomorrow.

Fortunately, there is wine.

Sorry about your DMV woes.

We got a puppy! Her name is Hoshi. We found her last week, talked about it and arranged to adopt her last WEdnesday. She was timid when we got her but she's really come out of her shell. She is very sweet and likes to love on people. Leela dog liked her when we picked her up but was skeptical when she realized she was coming into our house with us. they romp in the yard, it is cute. This is the day we got her. Hubby has taken more but they are still on the camera.
