1. I generally find that Friday the 13th is a good day for me, and today was no exception!

I usually look forward to them.



I hope it's been good for you too!

[BainsBane]

2. No, I was out shopping for Christmas wrappings etc. .

and lost my debit card. That was after dealing with fees the bank illicitly deducted from my account. So I feel like that kitty right now.
It will be better now though. Thanks.

3. Oh, how awful!

Yikes, I am sorry to hear that.

I hope it gets better fast...

[BainsBane]

4. Thanks, it will

Pretty minor as far as life's inconveniences go, but enough to give me a headache.

5. I hope it was a good one, BainsBane!

I couldn't sleep last night and, having given up on the idea of ever getting there, jumped in the car and drove to my favorite place on the coast, got there by 7:00 am, and Millie (dog) and I took our 2 mile walk THERE instead of here.

Screw superstition-- I'm back home now safe and sound!

[BainsBane]

6. Sounds like a lovely morning for you and Millie

Lola would be jealous. Somehow walks at -10F just aren't as fun.

9. Ooooh, ow! That's chilly!

I'm gonna have to be thankful that we only get a little ice on the sidewalk in the shade when it drops below freezing.

I'm not sure I've ever been close to -10! Wow!

7. It was a Friday and a payday.

That's as good as it gets, IMO.

8. i thought it was thursday. i guess i have been a day behind for a couple days.

tonight my son says he is going to go hang out with some friends at hasting. i told ... no you arent. 7:30. ya, so, he says.... school night, i say. no it isnt, it is friday. nah uh. thursday. friday. thursday.

i looked at my computer. i was sure he did something to computer to put day ahead. look at calendar. then my phone. no way it is friday. not a single friday the 13th anywhere.

10. i had one of those days

shit just went badly at work tonight. around seven i handed the shift off to my other shift lead and went home.

but it wasn't anything a beer and a pot candy couldn't fix.

11. I am not superstitious, but on Friday the 13th,

I am extra cautious. Many years ago, I had a minor accident on Friday the 13th. When I finally got to my office, I was making coffee and somehow I spilled a hot pot of coffee on myself. Luckily, I was not burned.

12. it was a strange one for me today

started with an abandoned truck at one end of the ranch, blocking the neighbor's road and turned out to belong to a somewhat distant relative that shouldn't have even been over there. Since the county sheriff was called I think maybe they finally have got the hint to stay out. "Family" that thinks they have a right to go where they want because their ancestors may have had that privilege. "Family" that you can't just come out and say fuck-off to, much as you might want to. "Family" that is stealing firewood and can't even be bothered to bring me a load of scraps as a bribe. I am pretty easy, it doesn't take much.

Meanwhile at the other end of the ranch, (actually on the next place over) - a body was found. I don't know any details but the deputy was on his way there after he dealt with the "cousin" and his out-of-gas truck.

Then I went and made a large purchase of fence materials and had to guess whether our poor old beater of a truck could haul it in one load. Relieved to now know it can still handle 1200 lbs worth of steel T posts and 8 rolls of wire (that is about a half mile of 4-strand barbed wire fence for anybody who cares).

Then I found out another local character has passed on. That along with doing my father's memorial on Sunday and the recovery of a local woman's body (someone I knew) this weekend topped off my week of deaths. Oh an I have a cow with a prolapsed uterus to deal with in the morning. yahoo.

13. a body was found --- recovery of a local woman's body ---

the fuck you say. two different bodies in a week, or what >.>

18. the one yesterday was an unknown individual (possibly a migrant)

you can read about Mary here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10381980

her funeral is today, not sure I will be able to make it as we are working cattle in a little while (not exactly an early start today, heh)

another service for long time local veterinarian "Doc" Arters tomorrow. sigh.

[BainsBane]

15. That must have been very difficult

I'm sorry for your loss.

[Kali]

19. thanks

didn't really mean that to come off as such a downer, but it was a weird day yesterday - and there was a bright moon last night to emphasize it as well. saw a good meteorite as I was running the dogs as it got dark, too.

14. Actually ... today was very enjoyable.

We accomplished quite a bit with very few problems.

[BainsBane]

16. That's a very satisfied looking cat

17. Looks extremely well fed, happy, without a care in the world.

That's the best way to be. [img][/img]
