What is it with younger drivers? Did they not read and study their drivers manual? Did they not understand what hand signals are? Two mornings in a row, I put my arm out my window, signaled a right turn and slowed. Both mornings, and one was in heavy rain, cars rode my bumper right up until I turned. Did they even know what it meant? Did they think I was going to make a "gesture", or what? I want my turn signals fixed !!!! Probably more than my gouge. I am really afraid of a ticket for failure to signal a turn. My favorite body shop guy said, " Oh, they will only give you a fix it ticket." Never heard of a "fix it" ticket. Sounds like a bribe. Wonder if he was pulling my leg. He is capable of it. The way my luck runs, it would be one with a BIG fine.
To answer your question Kellie. If my truck is an overnighter, Denny will need to take your dad home with him. Don't worry. He isn't fussy. Steak, pork chops or meat loaf. Add mashed or baked potato and your green bean casserole and he will be just fine. Then lead him to your couch for his nap, and he won't even know he's not home.
Spell check. The spell check on this blog bugs the heck out of me. (Now that I found out how to use it.) Aol is so user friendly. If it "don't " like my language, I can hit "learn it". This spell check "don't" like my language and doesn't give me that option. Really now.... What is wrong with kinda, gotcha and overnighter? These are everyday (American) terminology. This blogs spell check "don't" like them and won't learn them.
We had another brief and fast storm come in last night. Some lightning and thunder show we had. It hailed pretty good for about five minutes. First time I had ever been in the offices when it hailed. Impressive the noise it made hitting all of those windows !!! I just stayed in the isle in case they started breaking. (Prayed they wouldn't until 1st shift when somebody else would have to deal with them.)
Don't have much else to comment on this morning. Gonna (take that spell check) go read my e-mails.

Update on Meg
Meg came through surgery just fine. No heart damage or anything unexpected. Don't know when Bob will go to see her, but I intend to wait until after the third day. That is one wicked operation.

Dodge Ram Vs. Neon
This is a no brainer, right???? Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
For some reason, I know not what, Bob left his car parked in the driveway yesterday. Not all the way on his half either, and I didn't know it.
You already know what is coming don't you? I hit the "darn" thing when I left for work last night. Just his side view mirror hit my truck. No damage to the "darn" thing that I could see. My truck???
Wellllllllll, it knocked the tail light plum off. Then it put a nasty little gouge in my truck. I took it to my favorite body shop guy ( happens to be my son-in-law, Denny) this morning. He saw me pull in and came out to meet me and first thing he says is, "I see you've got a boo boo". I was tempted to tell him what I called it, but I didn't.
Then I proceeded to tell him that it was his father-in-laws fault. I told him the whole story , you know. How Bob's little Neon hit my Dodge Ram truck? He just listened quietly and smiled at me through my whole sad story. About this time, I began to feel like maybe he was humoring me. I don't really remember him taking my side. Ummm, but then I casually asked how much it would cost to fix my truck. Then the polite smile vanished and he very business like said , between $600 and $700 dollars. He said they would write it up and give us a call and we could bring it in. I said "Bob" could bring it in. He said, "We will give him a ride home". I said "He could wait all day for it".
Bob may need to get a part time job to pay for this boo boo !!!!!

Hospital
We went up to the hospital yesterday and saw Meg. She was just finishing her lunch. She said she had had a headache and hadn't been able to eat any breakfast, but ice packs had helped. She thinks a medication is causing the headaches. She said they don't want her walking or doing any un-necessary activity. She is actually very calm and not too worried. Right now it is still set for some time Monday. Don't know what time. Mary is trying to find someone to babysit the kids. I could, if it was morning, and if I could get to bed around noon. Even if the hospital gives a starting time, you can't count on that. Then when the family member comes out of surgery, it is hard to leave for a while until you know everything is really all right. Mary is checking into a couple of drop in day care places here in town. There are a couple I can think of. The only problem there is, they are so darned expensive, and you never know if they have their allotted number for the day. They also want advance notice of when they are coming. Kinda hard to know if you aren't sure when they will operate. Just waiting to see how the day plays out.
