Hello everyone! I am returning to this forum after an extended absence and
Joy: It is my pleasure to announce that I now have a girlfriend! She's an artist and an actual tarot card reader, so I've started calling her Tarot(like the character in the comic).

Sorrow: I think that milk is causing my chronic pain to flare up so I am gonna have to cut back unfortunately.

I’m sorry to hear that. I hope it works out.

Not lactous intolerant, are you, Amazz?

If I was I would imagine it would have something to do with me being able to go to the bathroom. Funnily enough I DID think I was for a while but it turns out I wasn't. I only just read about how dairy can cause an inflammatory response.

Finally got my taxes done. Now I'll need a day to dispose of all the paperwork lying around from the drafts.

Sorrow: More of the keys on my laptop is starting to come loose and stop working unless I press into them HARD.

Beautiful day today, but a weary one - little bit of everything, not much of anything. Just a bit draggy, I guess.

We all have days like that.

All too true, Harry, all too true.

But the days will get better! At least, I hope they get better, for both of us.

Joy: Went back to the chiropractor and felt pretty good after being adjusted!

Sorrow: I got his father instead of him because he's 3=year old daughter is in the ICU.

Sorrow: After 10+ years of service, my faithful old printer finally gave up the ghost. Time to start researching to figure out a good replacement.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Mar 08, 2023 3:11 pm

Sorrow: I don't think I can take melatonin anymore to help me sleep because within 30 minutes of getting up I had to lay down again. Meaning my day wouldn't have been very productive.

joy: i got a higher grade in health and its higher than an F
sorrow: its a D

MischaTheWolf · Post by **MischaTheWolf** » Wed Mar 08, 2023 6:22 pm

Hlaoroo, I hope you get a good printer soon. Dayzee, I hope you feel better soon, remember to not be too harsh on yourself. Snowykat, at least you got a passing grade and won’t have to redo it.

My sorrow: I lost my $15 stylus and my neighborhood store doesn’t sell any.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Wed Mar 08, 2023 7:42 pm

Had to play manager for the Church food co-op this afternoon. Went very well, actually, but there is sooooo much need out there.

snowykat · Post by **snowykat** » Thu Mar 09, 2023 4:35 pm

joy: i learned that you can earn about 62,000 dollars by writing opinions on the interwebs (blogging).
sorrow: todays the last day i have to breath normally before tomorrow. we have the fitnessgram pacer test.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Mar 09, 2023 8:56 pm

Sorrow: Since we have a health inspector coming in the near future, we are gonna have to give the seafood section we work in a REALLY deep clean and make it thorough which I honestly HATE the idea of doing.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sat Mar 11, 2023 2:15 am

Joy: Got a new printer. Setting it up as we speak!

Sorrow: Cut my finger open on a rusty nail at work yesterday and needed 3 stitches in it. Owie.

Joy: Luckily I'm up to date with tetanus and by chance there was a nurse nearby when it happened who was able to give me first aid so I could drive to the doctor.

Well, Amazz, your customers may never know it, but they should be more than grateful that you did it.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Mar 11, 2023 12:15 pm

Joy: The health inspector came yesterday before my shift so I don't have to deal with cleaning in the future!

Sorrow: Today I have to work a 2 to 8 shift which I am not looking forward to.

Back in the 70s when I worked in a fast-food joint to support my graduate studies, I hated the 2-8 shift, too. Not sure why, but I actually preferred the five PM to 2 AM (plus closing hour to 3 AM).

joy: i bought my first housepets book and it is arriving today
sorrow: i forgot my oven was on and now the house is really hot

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Mar 11, 2023 9:05 pm

Joy: I made it all the way through my 6 hour shift today and don't have to worry about a shift like that for next week!

Confusion/Sorrow: Apparently according to my boss the inspector DIDN'T come yesterday or she came back and she FAILED the department because the shelves in the cooler weren't clean enough so I had to go and scrub those down again. UGH.

Waitin' on tonight's blizzard - when did Meteorologists start giving snowstorms names like they do hurricanes?

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Mar 13, 2023 11:32 pm

Joy: I managed to get my prescription pills a lot faster than the 30 minutes they said when I went to CVS because they didn't have my script ready so I wasn't waiting as long as I thought I would be.

Sorrow: We are gonna get a snowstorm tomorrow and I have work. That will be fun. Especially driving in it.

snowykat · Post by **snowykat** » Tue Mar 14, 2023 8:11 am

joy: i get to stay home from school today
sorrow: its because i feel like if death was a person

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Tue Mar 14, 2023 5:49 pm

Sorrow: Gonna take much of the day to shovel out the driveway tomorrow. Even in "fluff conditions", I have to shovel 15-minutes on - 15 minutes off. This stuff, however, is wet, thicc, "cardiac snow".

Joy: My brother always said it snows on his birthday and ... since today is his birthday ... thanks fer giving yer older brother tomorrow off.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Mar 14, 2023 8:00 pm

Joy: It wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be driving home from work tonight!

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Wed Mar 15, 2023 7:50 pm

Joy: So, expecting a hellacious mess in our driveway, I slept in this morning (i.e. got up at 8:00am instead of 7:00am). Well, to my shock and delight, my cross-the-street neighbor had snuk over and snowblowered the whole drive way! Thanj you, sir!

He's kind of a funny guy. His kids fell in love with Sophie when we first returned to the house (after fifty-five years) and used to accompany me sometimes on her walks. When we finally met, he was a little stand-offish but - once again - his wife and his golden retriever just adored Sophie.
So, every now and then, after a snow storm, he'll sneak over and clean my driveway.....which I and my back so very much appreciate.

His youngest daughter brough us a couple of Iris after Sophie died. They took root on one side of the house. Hope they come back again this Spring.

Joy: My finger is healing nicely and I got the stitches out today.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Mar 16, 2023 1:02 pm

Joy: Its starting to get nicer out!

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Fri Mar 17, 2023 9:45 am

Sorrow: Got up early this morning to take the ol'Camry (2004) in to the shop because the "MANTRQRD" light's been shinning like it's Christmas for a week.

Joy: After fifteen minutes, the boss comes out, tells me it's a computer glitch, no mechanical problem and light recalibrated ... and no charge plus a free coffee.

So ... okay ... I can live with that.

Joy: This is my 18, 000th post.

It's a small thing but ... hey ... treasure your little victories, eh?

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun Mar 19, 2023 11:23 pm

Joy: I really had a lot of fun at the birthday dinner we had for my mother at an upscale Italian restaurant that we went to because the food was tasty!
