SNAG or TAG

               

And they're legal.  There's an artist in the UK, Zindy Nielsen, who just asks that you link and list her name...whoo hoo.  She creates some lovely things but I haven't gotten many tubes.  (Thanks Angela)  Zindy.Zone.dk

I am feeling like a witch with a "b" lately.  It's really hot here.  Had to put the air on....my wonderful air conditioner in the wall that has plagued me since I got it.  The thermostat is going whacko on it...up and down...but I'm not in the mood for putting out bucks to replace the whole front of the unit.  I can see a fun summer ahead with this.

I took a plastic grocery bag of medical bills to work yesterday.  The counselor I worked with took about ten looks when I walked in the door.  No lie...at least a couple of dozen in there.  They were from Megan's treatment.  All except one was around 10-20 dollars; one was a hundred and something.  They were from labs, pathologists, etc...all separately billed.  I had no idea what I had or hadn't paid.  The clinic had several.  I called the hospital clinic and begged them to itemize them and let me know what I had and hadn't paid because I did have cancelled checks for some that I just got.  UGH, UGH. 

Anyway, I got an e-mail from Megan.  She was none too thrilled with China.  She loved the sights but said the people shoved, were rude and looked at them like they were from another planet...lol..now she is 20 remember?  Anyway, she had been in Osaka Japan for 1 hr and she LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVED it, as she put it.  She totally loves Tokyo and doesn't want to come home now.  My child is definitely an urbanite.  I'm thinking Japan is much like the western world.  And she things the boys are cuter in Japan, so go figure.  She will be home on Saturday.  Can you believe it?  I'll have to get some pictures off of her. There haven't been any on the website.

My BF got a part time job  at a mom and pop convenience store.  He was getting bored with retirement.  So, now I'm BF-less.  He is working all Memorial Day weekend since he is the new one....yuck.  He started two weeks ago.  I've seen him once.  Nope, I'm not a happy camper. 

Please keep Becky in your thoughts and prayers.  She is really having a hard time concentrating at school since she lost her Skitz.

HUGS!!!!  Chris

Poor Becky, I hope she can come to terms with her grief, it's so hard to lose a pet especially at that age. I remember when my twenty year old cat died, I was sixteen and he'd been there with me since I was born, we were inseparable, it was so hard at first. I'm glad Megan liked Japan. The Chinese are very unfriendly and aren't used to tourists yet! A lot have never seen westerners and they think we have funny eyes! Lol! Our tour guide said they call us 'big noses'! They have snubby noses but I guess we're too polite and politically correct to call them 'snub noses'!! Lol! The sights are amazing though, well worth the visit! No alerts for this, just dropped in to see if you'd posted! Have a great weekend, shame your BF has to work, so do I! Jeannette xx  http://journals.aol.co.uk/jlocorriere05/Welcometomytravels/

Did you see Babel.  I thought the Japanese section of the movie was really interesting.  It showed a lot of Tokyo. You and Megan should both see it if you have not already.  I am going to go back and read all the China entries again when I have more time  I thought her trip was very interesting there even though it was a little more disturbing to her. She will probably look back on these memories as a trip to never never land!  Gerry

I`m happy to hear that Megan is enjoying Japan. Not that I`ve ever been there, but I`m sure Id like it better also.
Sorry to hear about the BF working through the holiday. :(
Best wishes to Becky with her school work. I know it`s a difficult time for her.
Have a great weekend, Chris.
Love you!

So glad your daughter will be home soon. She's had a valuable and unforgettable learning experience. Travel is good for young people. Doctor bills... I hate keeping up with all the paperwork. Gives me headache. Have a great weekend. bea

Glad Megan is home safely and can mourn her Skitz. Beautiful tags. I snagged. Thanks.  Sorry you aren't seeing your DBF much since he took a job.
You know both my sons spen in a year in Korea. Of course that's not china.  Then they both had to go to Japan. They both preferred Japan over Korea. Of course in Korea they were living on a military base.
 Well, wish you were here & us girls would girll us a steak. Looks like it's just us chickadees with the way the Rairoad is working these days. Take are of yourself.
Give Megan an extra hug from me about Sktitsy cat.
Hugs & love  ya, Barb
