Right now I am wondering what movie is being filmed, Tashakinz. Right now the carpenter is installing the new front steps. It's going to be great to have a better looking situation at the front of the house than that old rotten set I ripped out a year ago. A whole year without front steps...gotta be from Maine! LOL

Right now Vee Dreamworks is building stuff and on Monday "The Island" starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johannson (sp) will be filming here in the Motor City. This is going to cause quite the nightmare because on that same day there's going to be a rally for the democratic nominee less than 500 feet away from where Dreamworks is planning to shoot. Of course, we worker bees still have make it down here, work all day, and (try to) get home in one piece.

Right now I'm counting the minutes until the bell rings. I have my job interview at 4:00 pm. I'm not nervous, yet. Have a great weekend everyone.

Right now, I'm eating a Safeway Signature Selects Chicken Soup and it's really good. Sending good wishes to OMP on her interview. I'm sure you'll do great, let us know.

right now, i just read this article and i'm crying for the emotions of what a wonderful animal "faith" is: Washington Dog Phones 911 for Fallen Owner RICHLAND, Wash. - Faith the service dog phoned 911 when her owner fell out of her wheelchair and barked urgently into the receiver until a dispatcher sent help. Then the 4-year-old Rottweiler unlocked the front door so the responding police officer could come in. "I sensed there was a problem on the other end of the 911 call," said dispatcher Jenny Buchanan, who answered the call from Faith. "The dog was too persistent in barking directly into the phone receiver," Buchanan said at Benton County's Southeast Communications Center. "I knew she was trying to tell me something." Faith is trained to summon help by pushing a speed-dial button on the phone with her nose after taking the receiver off the hook, said her owner Leana Beasley, 45, who suffers grand mal seizures. Guided by experts at the Assistance Dog Club of Puget Sound, Beasley helped train Faith herself. "She's a real trooper," Beasley said Thursday. The day of the fall, Faith "had been acting very clingy, wanting to be touching me all day long," Beasley said. The dog, whose sensitive nose can detect changes in Beasley's body chemistry, is trained to alert her owner to impending seizures before they happen. But that wasn't what was happening on Sept. 7, and Faith apparently wasn't sure how to communicate the problem. During Beasley's subsequent three-week hospital stay, doctors determined her liver was not properly processing her medication for the seizures. "So my whole system was not working right," she said. Faith "was just very concerned," Beasley recalled. "She wouldn't let me out of her sight. She wanted to be touchy-feely." After her adult son left for the graveyard shift, Beasley tried to go to sleep. But Faith kept jumping up on the bed, which is off limits. "It's kind of hard to sleep when you've got an 80-pound dog running around in circles on your bed," she said. So Beasley got up and checked to make sure all the doors were locked and that there was no one outside. She made another attempt at sleep, but Faith would have none of it. "Within five minutes she was doing the same thing all over again." So Beasley got up again and decided to make some hot chocolate. The last thing she remembers is reaching for the tea kettle. "I didn't feel anything," she said. "I just went unconscious." After the call from Faith, Buchanan dispatched Richland police Cpl. Scott Morrell. He arrived to see Faith and her predecessor, now-retired service dog Bronson, peering at him from Beasley's front window. Morrell knocked, and then realized the door was unlocked. "Faith had already opened the door for him," Beasley said. The dog has been trained to recognize police officers, firefighters and medical personnel as "special friends with cookies." Inside, Morrell found Beasley on the kitchen floor — unconscious after striking her head in the fall and suffering a seizure — and called for medical assistance. Faith watched intently while a paramedic tended Beasley and at one point tried to tell him that another seizure was imminent. He didn't recognize the signal, but minutes later, "Boom, I went into another seizure," Beasley said. She woke up in the hospital several days later. Faith joined her after her transfer to the Veterans Administration hospital in Walla Walla. Authorities learned about Faith's intervention when Beasley stopped by to thank Buchanan and Morrell after her release from the hospital. A Benton County Emergency Services news conference Thursday put Faith and her owner in the limelight.

Right now I don't think I have ever posted on a weekend before. Does this mean I am officially hooked? Hope you feel better soon, Moondance. It is a pretty day outside.

Right now the wind gusts have slowed down under 40 mph. (i know i shouldn't complain considering what our fla folks had to go thru)But for central midwest it's quite the blow. Skys' are clear and the promise of gobblins abound. GALs sleeping peacefully on the couch. Happy anniversary GAL (2 weeks today)

Right now I am annoyed because my son did not show up to get the items he requested me to dig out so that he could go to a party dressed as Sherlock Holmes...if he only knew all the digging it entailed!

Right now I cannot believe I am feeling sick again, my upper respiratory infection (bronchitis) went away 2 weeks ago, and now I feel like it is back, my chest is not good, coughing and my throat is sore. I have gone 5 years without getting a cold, I don't get why this is happening. I actually have a very strong immune system. This sucks.

Right now I'm hearing you Colossus! That wind was here a couple of days ago and moved up your way. Right now I'm hoping MsMoon is feeling better and having fun with her stitches. Right now it's nice to see newbies like Dutchdoll posting on the weekends. Vee, right now I hear ya.

Right now, I'm sympathizing with Ginger. I had bronchitis once, and it took me a month before I was really healthy again. Even then, I went into coughing spasms every time I went out in the cold. I recommend you see a doctor, if you haven't already.

Right now I am no longer annoyed because my son did show up and he made a pretty good-looking Sherlock if I do say so myself. And just now, my niece and a friend have shown up dressed as a ballerina and a sumo wrestler. Their suits are all filled with air so the ballerina looks as if she just stepped out of Fantasia's hippo dance. The sumo wrestler looks pretty wild, too.

Right now, well a little while ago, we got home from a childrens Halloween party. My nephew went as the Grim Reaper and my son wore his crossing guard costume. My son won the prize for most original costume. Yeah for him! Just wanted to share!

Right now, Vee that sounds yummy! I've never had it before either. I ate a lot of junk food today at the party so I'm trying to make up for it by drinking a lot of water tonight.

Right now, I'm thinking of dipping raisinets in the fluff dip. LOL! Maybe it's time to think about how much Dr. Phil would kick my fanny.
