Friday’s Stuff

Oh, man! people who have never driven a stick shouldn’t be starting at his age! LOL! I’ve been driving a stick for so long, I’m constantly doing the left-foot brake thing when I drive an automatic. I’m pathetic.

: ) yep something I need is some relaxation, after yesterday I REALLY need it. *huggs*

Eek, eek, eek on the jackrabbit shifting. I would’ve been putting my ‘passenger clutch’ pedal to the floor.

Ah doing a lot of nothing with pleasure–have a great time doing so. 🙂

Good for you. I didn’t walk today because I got up to cold wet snow. I probably should have but I didn’t. I hope that you have a great night. Blessings.

Doing nothing is sometimes a rare pleasure. 🙂 – – – –

I’d never thought to take the paddle out of the bread machine while it cooks! What a clever idea.

Wheeeeeeeeeee, The Fred drove!!!! How very cool is that??? And how happy he must be! Love ya! ~M

I’m glad the trip was a success!

That’s a wee bit scary about the driving. I do know what you mean by the joy of not waking in the night. I love it when I can do that, as it does disorient me quite a bit when it happens. But having a cat who knows how to bite toes when he wants me to wake up doesn’t help either…

Great to hear how Fred is fighting his way bacl to normal life and health, well dont to both of you Best Wishes

fred will get the hang of the stick shift again soon. glad he’s feeling well enuf to drive. that’s what i did last night…..nothing. i did walk yesterday morning. the sidewalk at the school had been plowed clear. take care,

I can just imagine those jack-rabbit starts and hippety-hops. Those are part of the fun of driving a standard! Reminds me of a story from the Maine radio show “Bert and I,” in which a woman, Maggie, is driving her standard up the long hill in Wiscasset, as her husband sleeps in the camper she’s towing. She lets the clutch out too fast; he gets jolted out of bed and out the back door of the….

..camper, stark naked (since he WAS sleeping,’til all this happened…), leading to a whole series of madcap events which culminate in him being arrested and her having to come down to the jail-house to “get him sprung.” His first words to her when she arrives at the jail are, “next time, Maggie, LET THE CLUTCH OUT SLOW.” 🙂 Just had to share that! It’s great Fred’s on the road again! hugs,

Christopher Robin tells Winnie the Pooh how to do nothing and says, “When an adult asks you what you are going to do, you say ‘nothing’… and then go out and do it.” And, gee, it really is pleasurable. :o)

I love doing nothing. Good for you.

ryn: That’s a good idea, clarity without going OTT. 🙂

Horray for the good night’s sleep. Heard a blurb on TV the other day about people who listened to relaxation music just before going to sleep. It was very effective according to this article. I haven’t tried it yet. Reading usually puts me to sleep OK but it is staying asleep that is more of a problem.

ryn: You got it! You brought me here in the first place, and when I left, I lost touch with you. You’ve been an inspiration to me for years now, and I couldn’t bear not to know how you’re doing, so…I’m back.

I’m so happy that he is back to driving. I will be soooo glad when hubby feels strong enough to drive again. I’m so sick of it. Anyway, glad for Fred that he is doing so well. He’s been through a lot it seems, you both have, and it’s so nice to read that things are getting back to normal. It gives me hope. Take care.
