Returned to casa to retrieve our alterable suits, caucus with tailorette we man.

We took one suit-coat and Many (2+2+2+1) pants to her, salvage operation man.

We have (without counting) Many (2+2+2?) suits that still fit fine, initial inventory man.

Fortunately, all the Jones Nueva York suits survived, some fairness in life man.

We could use another brown and another gray, perhaps man.

However, the current inventory of Many suits should suit us* for now, suitable* for we man.

 

*worth a reputation point from everybody, punnily wordplaying we man

[TBoneTX 45,654]

Of note, all but our Ralph Lauren suit are resale finds, important to note man.

We have one that was custom-tailored in Thailand or Hong Kong, saved us the trip there man.

 

Of forgotten note, the total tailoring charge for our Many (2x2x2) salvageable items (waists, length, or waists + length) was only $Many ($2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2) -- yes, only $Many ($2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2), si man.

 

Being a savvily cheap gringo is whales of fun, whee man.

Serendipity rules, read this man.

 

We stopped at the Mexican supermarket to buy buns for our lunches, softest/biggest man.

One checkout lane was open, typical longish line with us in it man.

At the end of the other (unattended) lane was a stack of their biweekly ads, spy we man.

We thought we saw a $Many00 bill atop this stack, see C-note we man.

We figured that it was fake, but why take that chance man.

We stepped out of line and scooped up an ad, folding the presumed $Many00 bill inside, slick we man.

No one noticed or said anything, no man.

We paid for our purchase and left, routinely man.

 

At the casa, we inspected the presumed $Many00 bill, see it man.

It is quite real, windfall man.  We are looking at it again right now, in fact man.

Mrs. T-B. was amazed, amazed she man.

She even bragged about this to the two amigas whom she invited over later, yak yak yak she man.

 

We are both amazed that the $Many00 bill was unattended like that, amazed we & she man.

We agree that it's very unlike Spanish people to be so careless with money, wow man.

In hindsight, we are kicking ourself for not also picking up the penny & dime on the floor,  we man.

[TBoneTX 45,654]

We are doing our husbandly domestic duty again, laundry man.

We had never inventoried the kitchen rags, why bother man.

However, when we sought a clean one, we sought in vain, vain we man.

Mrs. T-B. has set an all-time record by having soiled all Many (2x2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2x2 + 2x2) rags in one week, shake our head man.

[TBoneTX 45,654]

Steveklar's conspicuous absence from this thread obviously signifies that we get to name the new one, no lame name man.

Abdicational Steveklar!  Abdicational, ABDICATIONAL Steveklar!

 

Also speaking of which, QA ma'am is uncharacteristically silent, silent QA ma'am.

Bad silent QA ma'am!  Bad, BAD silent SILENT QA ma'am!

 

And, not to omit anyone, no omit anyone we man:

Bad silent Asia!  Bad, BAD, silent SILENT Asia!

De-dish cat prep zzz man.

Rain needs to let up long enough for mow-lawning on Sunday, gag man.

Mornin', absent Commie- and other babes with hoarded reputation-point inventories!

It's a bit wet here

MIL is going to Colorado Springs to visit her other son, only going for a week so I asked why she's not staying longer.... because both her other children are meeting up for a break! (She doesn't even realize they just don't want her there)

Ah well we still get a break for a week

[NikLR 13,228]

so i accidentally deleted all the photos off my phone.  Thankfully I had saved a good many and I was able to recover a few but many where just mangled and unrecoverable.  I had transferred all the photos to my sd card and then deleted, thinking I was deleting off the HD, but no... deleted EVERYTHING.  I cried.  Literally just cried.  I haven't managed to get a photo with my husband for over a year and I wasn't able to recover the only one from this weekend.  We have one from my actual camera with him, me, and his dad and his stepmom but not just the two of us.  So I guess that's something?  I"m still kinda upset about it to be honest.  It was just such a stupid mistake because I ran out of room on my sd card.  Well today I went and bought a much much much larger sd card, and an external HD as back up for all my photos on my computer already (and I will add the photos from my photobucket to it too since that site seems to be going downhill quickly!)

[SAT 9,609]

Google photos?

[NikLR 13,228]

I don't back up to google drive generally speaking.  I don't like using cloud storage which is why I'm getting rid of the photobucket.  I find it to be more of a hindrance due to ads. I"m really unsure about googles privacy right now.  I actually moved the SD card from my new phone to the old one to get some private photos off since samsung did away with that with a recent update and they were in limbo.  I feel really stupid to be really honest about it.

We were looking for an entré to mow-lawning, desperate need thereof man.

When it hadn't rained overnight and wasn't raining on Sun. morn, we seized opportunity, seizure by we man.

 

We mowed front yard, swampy areas man.

We mowed back yard, swampy areas man.

 

After finishing, off-showering, and lying under ceiling fan, we still could not off-cool, hot stuff we man.

We sweated all day -- through laundry, errands, and other, How Dry We Aren't man.

Situation rectified itself after second shower of day, cold water man.

We wonder what this phenomenon was, hmmm man.

[TBoneTX 45,654]

After Many (2+2+1) laundry loads, we decided to dish the warsher, not mandatory on Sunday nights man.

A brainwarshed husband's domestic work is never done, no man.

 

Oh, by the way, we took Mini-B. to get (all) his hairs cut, and he looks very handsome, guapo wee man.

 

De-dish cat prep zzz man.

Mornin', absent Commie- and other babes with massively underallocated reputation-point inventories!

I'm telling you, every time I go on vacation, that place gets hit by a storm. 

Last year, Disney. This year, Busch gardens. 

Come to think of it, the day after I left HK in 2004, tsunami...

Sorry you lost your photos

hope you find a solution that works for you, I have a terabyte external drive that I put everything on - now I live in dread of it dying!

 

Rain has stopped, we are very lucky and other than a washed out drive we have no damage, no trees down or anything

 

my thoughts are with all those that haven't been so lucky
