Around here, we call it Pre-Monday...

Going for a hike later this morning.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

It feels weird to me. Like it's still Saturday. Whenever we have SS we always take him home on Sunday night. He's out of school Monday so we have him an extra day. So it feels like Saturday still.

It feels strange to me, too.

I guess because Paul finished his exams on Wednesday, and came home on Thursday.

It made it like a long weekend, to me.

Now, I won't know which way is up!

Or, what day it is.

I'll start losing track of time.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Me too. I'll be messed up the whole week. Not that it takes much!

Day two of training someone who doesn't do my job to do my job. He does not work in my area or want to permanently work in my area. He just wants to take call until he finishes nursing school. We were there 5 hours last night and he spent most of them networking himself with the nurses and doctors. I'm so aggravated. He will never do a good job on his own. He doesn't care enough. I'm the first one there Monday mornings so I will always get stuck fixing his messes when he does a weekend.

I may be up, but that does not mean I am awake. I got into night owl mode with DH last night. Went to sleep around 5:00 am.

Today will be more working in the garden. Gotta get the plants I got yesterday into pots. Other neighbor said he would get us the cider blocks we need. I hope so. Think I will still use neighbors #1 truck to get the soil I will need. at least 6 large bags of soil and three of mulch.

Breakfast is biscuits and gravy. Galumpkis or leftovers for dinner.

Cannot wait for my massage on Tuesday. I desperately need it. I want the garden done by then.

Thank God everyone is ok. It could have been way worse.

C was going south in the slow lane. Car darted around another from the side road. C slammed on her brakes but caught the back quarter panel of the darting car. Spun C around facing north and into the turning lane.

The car that darted in front blew through the stop sign.

God was all over this. Keeping them from being seriously hurt.
The passenger in the other car was taken as a precaution. No seat belt.

The air bags deployed in C's car. And she was wearing her seat belt. The air bag probably sprained or fractured her hand but thank God nothing worse.

Finishing up with the police now.

Ya'll hug your loved ones.

I dated a Polish guy from Michigan and his mother used to make it.

Galumpkis are stuffed cabbage. Or as I like to alternatively call it, cabbage wrapped meatloaf that has rice in it. I don't eat the cabbage. I'm a bad Polish person, I don't like cooked cabbage or sauerkraut.

Which is why it will never set foot in my house! I can deal with the cooked cabbage in stuffed cabbage. I will even eat it raw as cole slaw (we make it two ways, one with mayo, the other oil & vinegar). Sauerkraut is nasty.

I love cole slaw, especially with red cabbage!

We call those cabbage rolls. I love cabbage rolls. Could eat them all the time. The local grocery store makes really good cabbage rolls in the deli. I get them probably 2-3 times a month

There was a shoot out here today not but a few miles from my house. Apparently two motorcycle gangs ended up at the same hooters at the same time and started a shoot out. Several local police were called out and then the SWAT team. So far one person is confirmed dead.

The outside of the house looks tremendous! The lawn it thick like a carpet. But pushing the lawn mower was almost effortless. My guess is my upper arm muscles were so built up from snow blowing and shoveling that mowing is so less physical.

I set up my mini green house on the deck and put in my Sun Star the kids gave me for Mother's day and my basil plant. Next w/e I will plant flowers in the planters on the deck plus get tomato plants.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I slept all day. Goodness.

Now I am groggy and hungry.

The police told us the accident was the other drivers fault this morning. C isnt on the hook for anything. Car is totalled. Waiting to see what happens with the insurance.

Again. So thankful no one got hurt more seriously.

FNW, hope #2 gets better fast. I've been meaning to ask how excited are the boys about the pool?

IKWTDS, you should lift weights. You got all that upper body strength now. Might as well run with it.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

The body count is piling up on the shoot out.

Divine Geek · Guru

I knew I got a good deal on my shoes yesterday, but didn't realize how good until today. I was looking at the receipt and turns out they didn't charge me for my boots! I called the store and basically was told there was nothing they can do and to keep the boots. The manager thanked me for my honesty, I said thank you for my boots!

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

We are watching the news on the shoot out. They are currently transporting people they are arresting to the hospital. There are dozens and dozens of people there. They won't release an official body count yet. Some are saying as many as ten are dead. They've had to call in medics from all over to transport the injured.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

We are at eight dead on the scene and one dead on arrival at the hospital. DH and I are praying that in a small way only bikers were involved and not innocent people eating lunch. Hopefully no children.

Since I discovered I lost my under arm loose skin with all the shoveling and such I do the hand weight exercises while watching TV.

Nobody really knows as of yet. It was two rival motorcycle gangs. Fortunately they weren't in the restaurant yet. They were in the parking lot, an argument ensued, then escalated, and then there were shoots. Apparently a lot of them. The police found knives, clubs, and machine guns, along with various other weapons. At this point our town is on high alert because the Bandido's sent out an alert to get even. They consider themselves a family and seek revenge for wrongs done to their family. The Cossack's were the other gang. All the people in the restaurant were okay but it's a Sunday and everyone goes out to eat Sunday afternoon. It happened at 12:15 so right about the after church time. We've been trying to keep up with the news but it's coming in slow. They're still on the scene trying to dig through bodies. It was a HUGE shoot out. And they have cops stationed at locations that the Bandido's have threatened to show up at. I'd post a pic but it's pretty graphic. They showed a truck on the scene with a body half hanging out of it. The man was dead.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

It just made CNN, and it's at Twin Peaks which used to be a Hooters but is now the same thing basically but under a new name. I guess there was some kind of biker thing going on at our convention center and the bikers migrated to the restaurant. All of those killed are bikers. I guess there have been threats of gang activity for weeks so police knew something like this was getting ready to happen.

It wasn't that it was a snake skin. I've seen and touched them many times.

It's that he dropped it on me from behind.

Apparently the gangs have been using Twin Peaks to recruit for their gangs. The restaurant knew about it and encouraged it because the gangs are big drinking revenue for them. The police have been asking them not to do this for quite some time. Twin Peaks has instituted a "Biker Night" where all the bikers are welcome to come and recruit. The police said there are three rival gangs in the area. The police said they've heard this has been brewing for awhile. The initial fight broke out in the bathroom and moved to the parking lot. All the cars in the parking lot are seriously damaged with gunfire. There is another restaurant 15 feet away that had gunfire hit it. They had to post police at the hospital because gang members are threatening to go there and kill doctors that help save the lives of rival gang members. They can't get all the bodies moved they have so many. There are 9 dead and 18 injured so far. Hundreds and hundreds of bikers involved. The FBI and the ATF are here also. It's pretty bad.

Ouch! Sounds like you're starting a difficult week. cry

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Over a hundred guns have already been confiscated and the parking lot is littered with many more. They are saying it will take well into the night to clean up the bodies, guns, and blood. They think most of the deaths of the bikers were due to police shooting once the fight broke out. So far no innocent people have been killed. This could have been so much worse.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

National Guard might be coming in. I can't believe our town is in the middle of this. We live less than two miles from there. Feels weird seeing your town on the news.
