Tabbyking | Sunday, December 28, 2003 - 09:25 pm     well, i thought it was 'single white male taxi' and thought you were being a mite bit discriminatory! lol when most of us know any single male will do! my big indigo colored suburban is BLUKOW one of our bugs is TH BUG with a heart between the words for THE LOVE BUG our motorhome is WEB NIT with a heart between the words for "we be loving it". a man we knew in his mid-80's had SRAV8R for 'senior aviator'. he still flew his private plane up until a year or so before he passed away last year. and i saw a penis car (beige porsche) in san fran years ago that had GOP HUC as the license with the two groups of letters separated as i typed them. i read it phonetically, however, as i'm sure the driver meant it to be!! i once saw this one in san jose: 224UQT. which i think was the sentence for statutory rape. 2 to 4, you cutie. and, as for michael...a lass, a lass. |
Tabbyking | Sunday, December 28, 2003 - 09:26 pm     for all of you who can't wait for the kids to drive...my dd got her license on the 23rd. her insurance (to drive in a town 4 miles by 4 miles big and no other place to go) is 1,340 bucks a year! i can drive a lot of 'taxi hours' for that money! |
Lkunkel | Monday, December 29, 2003 - 08:22 am     sigh...our air mattress is leaking and needs air about every hour. DH and I planned to replace it when our freelance checks arrived. Our freelance checks are about 6 weeks late and we have no savings left...and rent is due nlt Thursday. I'm not a happy person right now...so I'll be over here in the corner sulking. BTW, I agree on the teen driver. I let my foster daughter get her license, but I kept it and didn't let her drive. Her insurance would have added $2K to my bill. Add to that the number of deaths Vegas had of teen drivers while she was with us, and there was no way I was letting her drive. |
Zules | Monday, December 29, 2003 - 09:22 am     Lkunkel, {{{{{HUGS}}}}}. I'm sorry you're feeling sad. Get out of the corner and head on over to your alter. Sending you my sincerest hope that your checks come in and that you are soon happy again. |
Lkunkel | Monday, December 29, 2003 - 10:07 am     Zules: As I sulked, I wrote and cast. All I can do now is let go. That's the toughest part. Thanks for your support. Hugs help! |
Not1worry | Monday, December 29, 2003 - 12:22 pm     Lkunkel, I hope those checks come in quickly!! I'm thankful that payday is only 2 more days for me, so I can't imagine waiting 6 weeks. I don't really have any random thoughts today, I'm just avoiding all my unpacking. |
Costacat | Monday, December 29, 2003 - 12:31 pm     Back to the license plate theme... one of my all time faves was a friend's "E L T B U S". Eltbus... spell it backwards! Lkunkel, I'm sending lots of "get those checks in the mail NOW" thoughts in your direction (well, into the universe so your vendors will pick up on the "oh, we gotta pay these peoples NOW" thang!). |
Lkunkel | Monday, December 29, 2003 - 12:39 pm     Thanks all. Trying to contact our publisher to get info on the checks...I mean, we're talking several thousand dollars here, and rent is due very soon. (And he wants more stuff written--and I just can't psyche myself up to do it!) Fingers crossed. |
Draheid | Monday, December 29, 2003 - 12:41 pm     JMM and I were recently driving through town and pulled up behind a car with out of state license plates that read - since I had recently been describing how to buy firewood to DD, I remembered explaining that a 'cord' of wood measures 4' by 4' by 8' so I pondered out loud "why would someone put the dimensions of a cord of wood on a license plate on a Honda?" JMM quickly asked, "Well is it an Accord?" - Sure enough, that's exactly what it was, a Honda Accord! lol Honestly, given the state these plates were from, I didn't figure anyone there was that clever!  |
Sillycalimomma | Monday, December 29, 2003 - 12:45 pm     Oh the license plates! My brother had one in his room for ages that said EZ4U2SA easy for you to say. I always like that. But recently while driving my DH came across one that just cracked him up. It said BJQUEEN....well of course he could not resist driving up to see who this "BJ" queen was.....turned out to be an itty bitty grandma who could barely see over the wheel! He dies laughing just thinking about that one..... |

Not1worry | Monday, December 29, 2003 - 01:19 pm     Our local paper runs license plate stumpers every week. Something like "A red Kia Sedona was seen on Yadkin Road with the plate "FORKS". Sometimes people have to guess, but quite often the owner will call to explain. Maybe they were from Grand Forks or whatever. Some just remain a mystery, which annoys me greatly. |
Twinkie | Monday, December 29, 2003 - 01:26 pm     For some reason, the last 2 nights I have fallen asleep watching TV at around 10 PM. Then I wake up around 1 AM wide awake. ACK! Its messing up my sleep pattern! |
Zules | Monday, December 29, 2003 - 01:34 pm     Twinkie, that was happening to me last week. It was soooo frustrating, I finally gave up and drugged myself! I took Tylenol PM Friday and Saturday night just to get my body back into rhythm and last night I slept like a baby without the Tylenol. |
Fanny | Monday, December 29, 2003 - 01:53 pm     My plates are XXXIIN3. It's Superbowl-related. |
Denecee | Monday, December 29, 2003 - 01:59 pm     I feel so left out! One of my co-workers is quitting an I have to learn her job plus still do mine. So I haven't been able to read all your posts(crying here)! I will do my best to ketchup! |
Lkunkel | Monday, December 29, 2003 - 05:50 pm     I found the leak!!! And I think I fixed it....no more sinking bed. |
Twinkie | Monday, December 29, 2003 - 05:56 pm     Well I think tonight I may get my sleep back to normal. I took a nap from 5-7 so now I should be awake for several hours. |
Texasdeb | Monday, December 29, 2003 - 06:01 pm     My office staff of the normal 16 had dwindled to 13 in the last few months with no new hires (yes, we will hire). Now, 4 more are leaving - we have found 2 people so far with a possible 3 more. That still leaves us down in #'s & as everyone knows, when this happens - sh!t gravitates up. Being mgmt. never felt so much---- Oh well, thank you Corp. America! |
Denecee | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 08:41 am     I hear ya Texasdeb! |
Tabbyking | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 09:13 am     i was sad to hear earl hindman (wilson wilson on "home improvement") passed away. it is warmer here today. i think it is 42 already. i only put on one pound over christmas. i have to take down the christmas tree and decorations before my son goes back to school (this saturday) because i can use him to ferry boxes into the eaves...but it's too cold in the living room to want to spend any time in there! i need a job. |
Lkunkel | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 09:29 am     I was sad too about Earl Hindman. We lost a number of experienced, talented performers this year. I was more sad to see that hell had frozen over, and Las Vegas had snow. Time for more pain meds. |
Sillycalimomma | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 10:01 am     I'm wishing I had pain meds right now. DD and I had a collision yesterday that left me with a hyperextended elbow.I am debating wether it is worth going to the doctors for or if I can just nurse myself back to health. I used to be a medical assistant and I have worked for a physical thereapist. I know what the doctor would tell me, but my problem is regular tylenol just isn't doing a thing for me! Oh well....oops. Brother just logged into IM! Haven't talked to him in a week! Gotta run |
Hippyt | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 02:32 pm     This house is such a mess. I'm never gonna get it back to normal. Ugh,and that dang tree is still there! I was hoping someone would steal it while we were gone! |
