RN, hermione, gargle with very warm salt water. gargle for 30 seconds and spit. take in more and gargle for 30 seconds and spit. do not rinse afterward and don't eat or drink anything else for a half hour or so. i can't tell you how many 'flus' or 'colds' never developed for me if i gargled with warm salt water as soon as i felt the first little ache of my throat. probably about 80% of them. RN, i helped with the 'wax museum' the history AP students put on. my dd did it last year and this year she's the teacher's assistant. it was held in a huge brand new plaza with fountains and a statue of henry miller on a horse and a couple of bronze cows... a little breezy, so we had to run pick up kids' posters like maniacs for a while, but when the exhibit started, wow! when dd and i left after running out of 11 cases of water, 10 two-litre bottles of soda, 2 giant hawaiian punch containers, apple juice, cranberry juice, cookies, chips, etc...we had over 400 signatures on our 'visitor's sign-in sheet'. there were 99 kids involved this year. they all dressed as their favorite person in u.s. history. they had a bell or touch-light or other way to 'turn them on' and make them come alive. if you pushed annie oakley's, for example, she would come alive and tell you about herself. when she was done, she would 'freeze' again. it was so well done! last year my dd was kit carson because he is her 6th great uncle. she wore a very heavy authentic military uniform made of wool. thank God they were in an air-conditioned place last year. unfortunately, the number of kids participating made the arts council building (our old catholic church) too small. it must have been 95 degrees out there this afternoon. what troopers! some of the kids are really, really good. they actually look like they are wax figures and don't bat an eyelash until their 'button' is pushed for them to come alive. well, tomorrow the building inspector comes to check out our house for the buyers. monday the termite inspection will be done. how come the house is such a gosh darn mess right now!? well, we took our dressers and beds up north, and the crap that was in the dressers and the crap that accumulated under the beds and the stuff that was in the china cabinet, etc. is now all sitting on the floors or kitchen counters ready to be sorted as to 'move this', 'donate this' or 'junk this'. most of our big furniture is moved as of today. dh took a huge load up north. we have a sofa and loveseat that we will take to the dump or donate, a rocking chair, three small dressers and a treadmill to move. that seems easy. then you remember all the stuff still in cupboards and closets and the eaves behind our master closet walls with all the christmas decorations and the stuff in the attic above the crawl space in ds' room...seems like it will never get done. oh yeah, the rest of the garage, the tool shed, the kids' log cabin. tabby runs for a glass of wine...

Right now I'm cleaning up the remains of $80.00 worth of sushi (worth every dime). RN I'm trying to pack, organize kitties and clean house to get us on the road by 6 a.m. for Mackinac Island. And Colossus is sleeping on the couch while keeping 1/2 eye on the John Ford/John Wayne "American Masters." RN I'm a bit irritated (read incadescent with rage) but looking forward to four days alone with the Big Guy. RN I'm planning his punishment, but I'm pretty sure he's going to like it .

RN, good for you, abby, have fun punishing colossus, GAL, and mocha, dang it girl, did you have to let me know about the incredible sounding food you had for lunch today?! wow. i found some frozen pot stickers in the freezer tonight. i hate how they stick to the pot. sigh. at least they weren't too freezer-burned. i could almost taste something once i drenched them in soy sauce, hot red pepper flakes and vinegar.

RN, i am waiting for the housing inspector that the buyers are paying for. i turned on the heater to make sure it worked, but since it was already almost 80 degrees upstairs, i had to turn it to 95 to get it to work. of course, i then got busy. guess how hot it got upstairs?!

RN, well the housing inspector came. it's too bad they can't write all the great stuff they comment on: "wow, beautiful oak staircase", "i love the built-in gas bbq", "your husband did a beautiful job turning the kids' closets into walk-ins", "your yard is beautiful", "i love the cedar shakes". no, he already brought the report back to me, all typed up and ready to go: "cracked floor joist under house. call in a structural engineer" "cracks in side driveway. call in specialty engineer" "double-tapped wires in panel" "spliced wires in panel" "asbestos type material in bedroom closets" that one really chapped my hide. 'asbestos' will kill a sale faster than e-coli. i called him and asked what he meant. well, the cottage cheese stuff, which we have throughout the house, not just on closet ceilings! i told him the house was built in 1980 and he said, "oh, never mind then". i told him to make sure he re-does that page before it goes to the new owners!! meanwhile, i have calls out to contractors to check the floor joist and electricians to check the double-tapping and splice thing. keep your fingers crossed that all goes okay. i am a little perturbed at the 'specialty contractor' notation for normal wear and tear cracks in our side driveway, too. the people saw the house twice. they did not comment that the cracks were a problem. if i have to spend 10k on new cement, i am going to throttle someone!!

RN, no call back from the electrician yet, but the contractor will come monday at the same time the termite guy is here so they can both go under the house at the same time. trying not to panic. why the buyers waited until we had only 3 weeks left to order the inspection...grrrr!!

Eeyore, book that shopping trip! May 22nd is not a holiday in the states. Our next "observed" holiday is Memorial Day "observed on May 29th, a Monday. Our "real" Memorial Day is May 30th. The almighty government moves certain holidays to Mondays so fed employees can have a 3 day holiday.

RN I am LOL at Oldtex the Stickler!! RN, I am planning the stores I will visit on the 22nd!! Woo hoo!! (I am looking for a store whose LOGO is the bathroom door symbols for man and woman, but placed side by side. My friend got a wallet that was nice from Seattle, but I'm not really talking to her right now, so I can't ask her what store she got it from. Anyone know what store I'm talking about?)
