Currently, hy is weed-whacking and edging the backyard. The good news is, I haven't heard any curses from hym cutting the cord or yelps from electricity racing through hys body

cant wait for lazy days in the pool

and i am sensing some kinda sarcasm here about the yard work

Good morning Floridians

Well I'm not one of you yet, but I'm working on it! The paperwork on the house is moving forward, but at a snail's pace. So frustrating. I thought I'd be there months ago...

On a nicer note...my FL family is mostly centered around Jacksonville...about 100 of them that all look alike (picture a little clone army...yea, that's us). They're very conservative, very Christian...in fact my uncle just became a pastor at a Baptist church.

It's ironic that my mother, the liberal atheist who supports gay rights, is skeeved out by my relationship with a woman. She knows...she just won't talk about it.

My FL family, which we would expect to reject it based on religious grounds however, has been warm and welcoming and completely accepted Scoote and her son as a part of the family...just saying if you love her, then she's family too. They said they couldn't wait to meet Scoote and her son at our family reunion in August (crossing fingers we get there in time!).

Last night, Scoote and I were goofing around on facebook and she made a comment about needing me to hook her up with all my FL family. So....I did. I sent friend suggestions to about 32 of them who are most active on FB. And, even though it was about midnight, she had a few immediately accept. I wonder how she'll react when she opens her FB this morning and sees more than a dozen new friends/family members, and more no doubt coming...and the messages welcoming her.

Sometimes, people can surprise you...

Morning Everyone,

Doing a quick drive by as I have more moving to do today and errands to run.

Jesse

P.S. Zimmy- I know it's too late now, but the next time you get sun burned use a sponge or rag and drizzle white vinegar all over the sunburn areas ASAP, leave on for a minute or two then take a cool shower and apply aloe or a good moisturizer. The vinegar stops the cooking process and takes the heat out.

Will there still be a meet up at Maddy's bar and grill and who took over for the meetup there ?

I'm not sure, but it's looking like I won't be there in time

Jesse · 07-19-2010, 09:37 AM

I won't be able to make it if there is one, but hopefully can make the next one.

Good Afternoon Tranzman,

Good luck moving and have a wonderful day,

Zimmy

weatherboi - interesting topic and one I will certainly weigh in on when I have a bit more time to ponder. I've said this several times before: people usually think Disney and white sand beaches when they think about Florida--they forget this state is part of the deep South.

Vacation is over for the Strutts Mr. Strutt went back to work today and, although I don't go back to the salon till tomorrow, I have a lot of phone calls/paperwork/books, etc. to catch up on today. Welcome to the world of the small business owner

Have a great one!

dont ya hate the end of vacations.

Seems like everything these days takes time. the "here ya go " without any company doing research or whatever days are over. i barely got a loan for a new truck and i was only financing about 1/3 of it.

I'm not a full time Florida resident...i have a vacation home there ( aka the Strutt's house )

good news about the family and Scoote.
