Hi Boomers. One down and four to go. I'm off to the park.

Good Afternoon Boomers! Garden is at last planted...going to be a lot of it if all comes up. Crows pecked out a lot of the peas so replanted them. They think they are worms or grubs when they first come up. Greenhouse is planted too so I just have a few pots to plant of herbs and then it will be weeding much and watering. Hope to game for awhile now. Happy Gaming to everyone!

Nan, the knee has a long way to go but it is healing. I may have to buy running capris and tape it to keep the mud out. I am waiting till Friday to see how it's doing.
Have fun at Bingo, hope you win!

Haroula,

Joe, hope you are cooling off now. Sorry you have another early day.

SpaceQ, have fun at the park!

Lotus, can you put a scarecrow up or whirlygig to protect your crop?
Have fun gaming!

Off to the grocery store...I ran out of veggies.

Lotus, was talking to VA son. He was saying he'd noticed the garden was growing a bit slower than usual. He thinks he has less sun.

Couldn't visit with hubby today...the connection was just way too bad.

Now watching Eureka and nursing a gimpy tummy. Back later

Just came back on GB after another practice session with the driving software. Passed the "venture out farther into virtual city (same lesson as yesterday and earlier today) a total of 2 times so far, after repeated failures, then decided to try the "city proper" lesson (its the next driving lesson following, found that I had a couple of running into another car at intersections, and another rear-ending me from behind b/c I was making the turn too slow, so decided to go all the way back to the "drive around the block (first driving lesson of this software)", and almost made it into the Virtual Driving School parking space upon completing this lesson, but made a mistake at the last moment, and Virtual Instructor failed me.

Just before (oh, not complaining, just telling you guys how I'm doing so far) I finished the last 2 R turns, the Virtual Instructor noticed & pointed out audibly that I seemed to be having problems with the controls. Then during the debriefing I found that I had a tendency to approach intersections too fast, even though I was going about 8 - 17 MPH, but on the whole, I'm getting a teeny tiny bit better with the turn signal and blind spot controls, although I still have to get used to the "look L & R" controls.

I guess it's like 20 years ago when I kept taking Algebra Fundamentals, repeatedly flunking the course, retaking it, etc, until I got a chance to work with Algebra Fundamentals at community college's Algebra-GED program where they had the step by step workbook for my text book that I was using in the class I took at the college before flunking that class, and after doing this for about 2 - 3 hours 3 days a week every week from Fall '95, Spring '96, Fall '96, and for about 2 months into the Spring '97 semester before having to go to hosp, I understood Algebra Fund well enough to be able to work thru the problems on the quizzes/exams when I retook Algebra Fund at the College in Spring '98 (b/c in Fall '97 I took an Intro to Computers class) - or did I say this already in another post before?

The thing is, no matter how hard algebra was (since I never, ever had it before,) and when I kept flunking it I'd get real frustrated but I refused to give up on it, b/c I wanted to do it so bad, it's the same thing with this driving thing - I want to do it real bad.

Been hauling dirt, shovel by shovel and in my little red wagon...
Ana, a couple neighbors walked by and I offered them free classes on weed pulling(101); just don't understand why they declined...did you want to sign up?(you could sit on a stool) or anyone else want to sign up?

Almost time for WWE so better go and get ready to boo or cheer.
Have a great night all.

Well I made it home dispite the wind trying to blow us off the road. 40mph winds are really fun to drive in. AND I have more in my pocket then when I went.

Ana I wasn't going to go and then I sat and thought about it and since while I was walking Sassy today I had to have found at least 8-10 4leaf clovers, I figured maybe I should go with them after all. Glad I did.

If you get some gauze and wrap it around the ouchie and then wrap that with some saran wrap or that clingie stuff that should help to keep it clean. Would love to be there to watch!! Best of luck!!

Trippy I think I flunked weed pulling 101. Hope you can get some takers.

Cruise ya got the right attitude so I believe you will surely make it!!!

Joe that is just too hot. We were at 90 yesterday and I thought I would die when I had to go out but today it was much cooler, like 70's, and one nasty wind. Sleep fast!!

L4l sorry you had a bad connection for your talk. Hopefully it will be a clear connection tomorrow.

Night to all those off to bed. Sleep well and pleasant dreams.


Nan
