'Just Rewards (2)'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Also, in other other news, I saw a bit on one of the midday "news" shows talking about how collectible the brightly colored Pyrex mixing and serving dishes all our mothers had. "Go to the garage sales and flea markets! Someone's selling Grandma's old bowls, and this one is worth $200!"
Yeah, that's like my brother pointing out that the old Red Wing pottery crocks we use as garbage cans are actually worth like $500. Oops?
I'm sorry, Drew.
So work closed early, but not early enough for me to swim before the Y closed early too:/ ANd I still had to work and it's been a clusterfuck of things. After the password debacle.
Over today.
Oi, my poor kid just threw up Exorcist levels of stuff. Apparently one of the kids she played with a day or two ago had a 24 hour bug that the whole family got. My DH and I are in agreement that this is not something I need with incisions in my abdomen, but it may be unavoidable.
The dog, she is behaving perfectly. So that's something.
I'm so sorry, Drew. Thinking of you and your family.
Incisions? I missed something. Heal well, and no bug-transmission!
I'm so sorry for your loss, Drew.
Kate, I'm sad you guys didn't move here! Maybe another opportunity will come up someday. I'm not sure I know what your husband's field is but there are plenty o' universities here!
Meep, Sparky! Um, good dog. And health~ma a-plenty.
I seem to remember being told about the Pyrex mixing bowls before, or it coming up in conversation with my mother because she uses hers all the time and (at the time of the discussion, anyway) they had not appreciated enough to make replacing them worthwhile. Decade or two back, I'd guess.
Yeah, that's like my brother pointing out that the old Red Wing pottery crocks we use as garbage cans are actually worth like $500. Oops?
Oh, yes, I have a couple big crocks and bowls from the old farm that are worth some $, but I'm using them as garbage cans. Why not? Tossing paper into them isn't going to harm them, and someday when they're worth $$$, I may need that money!
I don't think my mom has anything that is secretly valuable. Not-so-secretly tacky, perhaps. Does 30 year old Tupperware count?
I feel like I was punched by a tiny fist, in my side. I suspect it may be my gallbladder?? It seems to be located around there. But it feels more like muscle pain or a bruise. Except it's not?
I am sorry, Drew.
