'Fake rock' was slang for one of those teeter-totter things that masquerade as stepping stones in streams.

Less prevalent were 'fake trees' (not the fiberglass kind, LOL)... saplings that would give way if you tried to steady yourself by grabbing onto one.

Well back outside to shovel some more. The snowplow never showed up and my husband was having a cow about it. So I decided that I would cancel the snowplow contract and do the shoveling myself this season, now that I'm strong and fit, sort of. That boy needs to learn how to chill though, or he won't live to retirement. Either his heart will shut down or I'll shut it down, I don't know what will come first.

hmmmmmmm... Who said, "Yes, I'm in my own little world, but it's okay. They know me there." Sounds like Steven Wright, doesn't it? <G>

Noooo reheating! That's cheating! It's gotta be straight out of the 'fridge (or possibly room temp from the night before --- if you don't mind a little Russian Roulette, LOL).

I was going through a box of old junk and happened to find a post-it

Hi everyone. My husband reformatted the hard drive last night and installed Norton AntiVirus with the firewall, and I just spent 15 minutes trying to get it to allow me to log onto TT. I think that I should be safe emailing again now without giving people the Klez (almost sounds like I'm talking about STDs). Yep this computer stuff only seems sterile and impersonal, 'til you scratch the surface.

Good morning, folks. After aikijutsu last night, I had to leave my car in the parking lot. The streets and area were flooded. A classmate drove me home in his truck. So now I leaving on a hike to retrieve my car. The health club is associated with the hospital and within a block of the hospital.
