Tornados in NY? Never heard of such.

 

When I was a child in the suburbs of NYC, a tornado took the whole side off an apartment building in a town nearby.

In the last day or two, we've finally started to get the beginnings of leaves on trees here.  Excitement!

Yeah we get them once in a while. We had one back in 06 or 07 in Brooklyn.

Wow! Even if I were ever able to get into that position, I know I would land on my head

 

I feel as though I have landed on my head. Up at 0600 (gah). It was thundering and raining, so the siding company didn't turn up here until 1100. In less than an hour, they left to go get more materials and were gone the best part of  3 hours. They are still out there pounding on the house and I guess they will do until dark. They work 7 days a week, from 0600 until 1900, so I will have to be up at 0500. This is going to be a very long 2 weeks. The dog is unimpressed, and I've had to shut the curtains where they are working because if she can't see them, she doesn't bark. The racket doesn't seem to bother her in the least.

haha, it's a bit scary, but you don't fall unless you release the leg. it's a lot of strain for the back and the leg itself, but I think it's fun!

Nawwww.

 

The troll's only pre-K option is 2 days a week here in town.  Even that is a year and some months away.

He's bored at home.

 

I've got 5 more years until the youngest is off to kindergarten.  That is a long time.

Today I learned that there are Americans who don't realize that FICA taxes also apply to the working poor.

How do you get up there, huh D2 ma'am?

It is safer to adhere to our firm philosophy, see D2 ma'am:  if you're healthy enough to exercise, you're healthy enough NOT to, see ma'am.

You can delay it further by striving to match the legendary reproductive output of the fecund Ontarklar, halfway there Nola-B. ma'am.
