good morning
7:24 am
aslindy

7:26 am
Kiani
busy work week, lots to do for end of project stuff
7:29 am
aslindy
trying to get together the energy to arrange things a little better to make packing the truck tomorrow easier.
7:29 am
Kiani
you have more people coming over to assist I assume
7:29 am
aslindy
had a bad neck pain headache all night
7:30 am
aslindy

7:32 am
aslindy
last time we had 3 helpers, which was too much. they went for pack quick instead of pack full.
7:42 am
MollyL
I swear, Lindy has been moving for 2 months.
7:43 am
aslindy
sure feels like it! but not quite a month yet.
7:43 am
aslindy
I did start packing stuff in January, though.
7:43 am
aslindy
we were supposed to make a trip last week, but I had covid instead.
7:45 am
Kiani
Molly, feels the same way to me lol
7:50 am
aslindy
it would have gone a lot faster if I had more help to pack things.
7:51 am
aslindy
but I didn't, so, it takes as long as it takes.
7:56 am
MollyL
Hard to recruit free movers
7:57 am
aslindy
we offered to pay, but no takers.
7:58 am
MollyL
Why not just hire a moving company?
8:00 am
aslindy
they are really expensive. we are making 3 trips with a budget truck for less than a moving company costs.
8:04 am
aslindy
we finally worked out a deal with a neighbor to buy this house, and set a date to sign papers, so that is a huge relief.
8:11 am
Kiani
woohoo! I was hoping that would work out but I know they were having issues with HELOC
8:20 am
Kiani
so, I got an oil change yesterday at a farm and fleet store and was left to wander the store unsupervised for nearly an hour. I came home with some new things
8:20 am
Kiani
the cats are very happy now :D
8:22 am
Kiani
I picked up two of those squishmallow beds, and they are a weird kind of neutral zone for the cats who otherwise don't share well. (Except for Nova bc she's a bit of a bed-bully)
8:38 am
rururocks
nobody likes a bed bully
8:53 am
MollyL
But some like a Wooly Bully
8:55 am
rururocks
I was never sure what that is? kind of before my time :D
9:03 am
rururocks
about a cat wasn't it?
9:05 am
MollyL
Two big horns and a wooly jaw. Not a cat. And 1964 wasn't exactly before your time.
9:06 am
mael
I have no idea what either of you are talking about it haha
9:08 am
rururocks

rururocks
I was doing drugs in the sixties molly I don't remember much :D
9:14 am
MollyL
You must be older than I thought. I wasn't old enough to be doing drugs in the sixties.
9:15 am
MollyL
On another note, it is amazing and heartwarming to read about all the volunteers helping to assist damaged areas in Western North Carolina. Even private helicopter pilots are donating their time to fly in supplies and medication.
9:18 am
rururocks
I started young .. not quite 1964.. but certainly 1967 and 1968
9:30 am

I was barely ten in 67 and 68. Too young for drugs.
9:32 am

If you look up ca8 it means something similar to a word ending with N/past tense. As in the car ca8 across the road and landed in a ditch.
