05/23/2006 23:15:12 Jim Bought a cell phone | Tue |||||||||||||||||||
I thought I'd lost my phone. We looked everywhere twice. Anyway, I ended up buying a new one, with now contract. The one I thought I'd lost was selling retail for less than what I paid with a contract. In other words, you always get screwed somehow with the cell phone people. We searched the stores for a door 29 3/4" bye 79". Nothing. We'd have to special order one. All the doors at my house are that size, so they must have changed the Standards again. |
05/22/2006 20:36:42 Jim Hung the front door at the condo today. | Mon |||||||||||||||||||
I had bought the wrong door, and had to return the thing. We also got a viewport for the door. It all looks GREAT! Hauled off the old door and the old garage door openner. I bought the wrong size bedroom door though. Dangit!!! Meanwhile, Sonny almost completed the kitchen sink. |
05/20/2006 20:39:10 Jim Hung the garage door openner. | Sat |||||||||||||||||||
It was HOT inside that garage, and the project took about 7 hours. We got my tire replaced from me popping it on a median the night before. While it was getting replaced, we went to the atrium at Sam's Town. Its great!!! And the margaritas were great too! Meanwhile, Sonny got his fuel pump replaced. |

That is Condo-mese: Language of the Condo...haha. Sonny lost his car keys And he didn't have a spare SO...that threw a wrench in things. However, he did put in an outlet box in the garage. Becky and I: - hooked up the lavoratory's sink, (1 hour) - hung two closet doors, (1 hour) - hung the sliding glass door blinds. (1 hour) - Hauled two loads to the dumpster. Not bad for a day's worth of work. All thats left now is the: - Garage door opener. (2 hours) - Replacing the kitchen sink (2 hours) - Replacing the front door. (4 hours) - Replacing the sliding glass door locks with keyed entry. (4 hours) - Sanding and painting. (1 day) |

Some examples of why the human race has probably evolved as far as possible. These are actual instruction labels on consumer goods... On Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. (Gee, that's the only time I have to work on my hair!) On a bag of Fritos: You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (The shoplifter special!) On a bar of Dial soap: Directions: Use like regular soap. (and that would be how?) On some Swann frozen dinners: Serving suggestion: Defrost. (But it's 'just' a suggestion!) On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert: (printed on bottom of the box) Do not turn upside down. (Too late! you lose!) On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: Product will be hot after heating. (Are you sure? Let's experiment.) On packaging for a Rowenta iron: Do not iron clothes on body. (But wouldn't that save more time?)(Whose body?) On Boot's Children's cough medicine: Do not drive car or operate machinery. (We could do a lot to reduce the construction accidents if we just kept those 5 year olds off those fork lifts.) On Nytol sleep aid: Warning: may cause drowsiness. (One would hope!) On a Korean kitchen knife: Warning: keep out of children. (hmm...something must have gotten lost in the translation...) On a string of Christmas lights: For indoor or outdoor use only. (As opposed to use in outer space.) On a food processor: Not to be used for the other use. (Now I'm curious.) On Sainsbury's peanuts: Warning: contains nuts. (but no peas?) On an American Airlines packet of nuts: Instructions: open packet, eat nuts. (somebody got paid big bucks to write this one...) On a Swedish chainsaw: Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands. (Raise your hand if you've tried this...) On a child's Superman costume: Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly. (Oh go ahead! That's right, destroy a universal childhood belief |

05/08/2006 23:18:17 Jim Went shopping. I must love returning items. | Mon |||||||||||||||||||
Bought a vanity. It was cracked. Had to take it back. We installed the new one, but it didn't have a faucet. :( Bought a bathtub spout. But it didn't fit. Had to take it back. Sound like a pattern? It happens everytime I do house repairs. Trips back and forth take more time than the installation. |
05/08/2006 04:08:04 Jim Still feeling badly | Mon |||||||||||||||||||
I took a couple of those pharmacudical uplifters. They finally kicked in around 10pm. Now it's late! ANYWAY... I cut the top and bottom channels for the condo's closets. They look good. I straightened up the tool room. It seemed unfair that I'm getting Sonny to throw away his junk, while I'm keeping mine. The room's clean now, but its poorly organized. Becky was feeling bad today. She did a lot of work last night help Robert move. |
05/07/2006 06:23:47 Jim My eyes itch, my skin feels itch | Sun |||||||||||||||||||
I feel tired. Exhausted even. My breathing is labored, and I feel like someone is sitting on my chest. Damn, I'm tired of feeling run down. |

Becky help him move his stuff up the stairs. I was just to drained to help. |
05/06/2006 21:57:30 Jim Robert and Joy moved out today | Sat |||||||||||||||||||
We picked up the Uhaul. Robert loaded it up, and unloaded it. Becky helped him some. I didn't help cause I'm already in enough trouble with my health. (I'll be glad when/if this finally clears up). |

Big vacation ends. |
05/01/2006 20:03:05 Jim If I am never to get any better | Mon |||||||||||||||||||
If these bad health issues I'm having are a signal of an end coming, I got to say, I'm not afraid. In the end, we all must realize everything we did, all the things we believed, and all we held true, were myths. Life is just a box of dreams. None of this can be proven to be real. If the present is more real than the future, and the past is more real than the present, but the past is just a memory, then this is all a dream. |
