COLD DARK ROOM

[Pearly]

Time for bed now!
Hope you are feeling better tomorrow, Adam
Night night Ewa and anyone else popping in
See you soon.

Hi, Lyn. It was fun to chat "booze" with you last night. I have already drank sea of it in my life and got it "out of my system". I don't drink anymore but it sure was fun reminisce and remember some time when me and friends acted like complete idiots and that was considered "ok" It upsets me to hear that you too were bartending to supplement your teaching salary. I have a very good froend who's a brilliant math teacher and she's been waiting tables on weekends to help with her bills. This is insanity! Teachers should be paid top salaries! You guys are mentors of our new generations! Wth is wrond with those governments?! I used to think that it was only in Poland, low oay but very high social status and prestige. Then realized that it's this same here in the US and now Lyn's post suggests that it's probably more wide spread

How's the parking situation?

At the moment only 1 of their 4 cars is out there, so can't complain today.
I think I'll have to get one of those blow up vehicles the Invisible Army used in the war
Then I can tether it outside my house and save my space!

I think Maggie is made of stronger stuff than me!!
Everclear® alcohol
Everclear is a pure grain alcohol. The brand, produced by David Sherman Corporation, comes in two strength bands, both 95% (190 proof), and 75.5% (151 proof) bottles. Although, the 95% is undeniably the most popular and most available type.

Many of the US provinces have made it illegal to buy Everclear and it's very uncommon to see the most potent of the Everclear products sold outside of America.

And it's for good reason too. Everclear is incredibly potent and should be used strictly and responsibly. Don't drink it straight!

Wow! It was called SPIRITUS in Poland! And you could buy is at the stores (not always available) and dilute it with things of choice. My dad used to make his own caramel for that and mixed it in proportions where it was much stronger then normal vodka.

Hi Ewa I think it has got better here now, I managed OK when I was living with my parents, but when I bought my house and the bills started rolling in it made me realise it wasn't that great especially for teachers with families to support. I didn't mind working at the club too much because I also got to see a lot of my friends so although I was working I was able to socialise and have some fun. I used to do the same when I was a student too.

What you doing on Thursday ?

Hahah, Adam! Funny! But I do like GOOD MEAL so potential savings savings are probably small

The wheels and airscoop.
Honda red.
(Used to be black)

She's gonna love that color! I used to have a convertible mustang that color. Ahhhh! Loved that car! GT, 8cylinders turbo charge... it was fast... Texas roads are great... Ahhhh!

Well back to the grindstone - a new leak to patch up in my old conservatory now,
so back up the ladder for me.
See you all later!

Good morning!!!!!!!
Sorry about your cacti.
Hope you can save most of them.

It's ok! I'm not a serious gardener. I typically just keep things that do well here, no time to fuss around nonative plants, but the cactus I found would become hardy in time once well established! Crap! Lessons learned! To always check weather forecasts

Not too often here! I've grow to heavily rely on them for most outdoor activities. One time I didn't was when went camping to West Texas Davis Mountains on the 6th of October. Me and couple of girlfriends drove out of Austin wearing shorts and spaghetti strap tops. It was very warm! By Fort Stockton (West) I was pulling out my sweater, then long pants and jackets when putting tent up in Fort Davis. The next day there was Buffalo Soldiers reenactment in the old fort (Fort Davis) it was miserable, cold, drizzly, the ladies were serving hot cocoa. That night at the camp ground temps dropped to 26F and was raining/freezing. Around 04:00am park ranger was going around advising all campers to seek shelter ask tree branches started cracking and falling. We ended up moving to motel 6 (or 8?) for the rest of our trip. It was beatiful though! The high desert was all white in frost. The locals said they had not seen this kind of weather at the beginning of october in decades. Definitely a trip to remember
