a friends trip

my ex-boyfriend, who i'm still great friends with is a sports photographer (kayaking and whitewater rafting) traveled to india and pakistan to photograph and experience life there for the next few months. he just arrived and sent an email that i would like to share with you all. as soon as he sends some photos i'll post here. he's told me numerous of times exactly where he is currently but i can't remember, i'll ask him again. all i can remember him mentioning is quetta and hanna lake.

i dont think you could comprehend the disparity in life here....on one hand there are buildings that look like NYC, on the other hand, well you would not believe the filth...i think park would have to airlifted to Northwest Regional via Rocketship.....i have a job paying 9,000 rupees a month, plus free food and board, however thats about $250 a month US eek..however there are 100 rafting companies and no photo business, so i might be able to do something in the future...i just rode a bus to town, you would not believe it if i told the way these people drive..im going to Lahore tommorow, on the border with Pakistan, very Sketchy, even according to my new Indian Friends, Who knows?

also, about 25 monkeys were around my tent this morning


i might not have access to a computer for a while....if anything happens to me, blink the 77' landcruisers yours

he told me to google rishikesh, not sure why though.

Aggieb - very cool, keep us posted! Skeered of those monkeys, though! Thanks for sharing!!

Made it to my mtg. Overslept, hair dryer broke and flat tire. One of those days, Mama! My babies don't like to get awake early either.

But, last night I walked to the convenience market to get a lottery ticket and I saw the cutest man with two dahling puppies! A German Shorthaired Pointer - about 8 wks and a Golden (just like the one on the Cottonelle ad - also about 8 wks.). Both had puppy breath and were absolutely adorable!

I did not win the lottery.

I love puppy breath!

Bad, like really bad veneers in Hollywood these days. What a shame.

What's a shame? ooooh, bad veeners and those injected lips out there!

I am getting a new washer/dryer. I am leaning towards the front loading Maytag, in white, which is $100 cheaper than a color. Can't have the Bosch one. By the time it gets put on it's pedestal, I am too short to see the controls located on the top. Are Germans like really really tall?

That's a German design flaw! They'll have to start putting the controls on the front istead of top front.

I really like First Lady Michelle Obama. I like the first family! This happens to me everytime - might not agree with they politics, but genuinely like Barack as a man.....Jay Leno helped.

I did not win the lottery - AGAIN! Already got some chores done, though!

My oak is shedding helicopters - and, there are berries all over the deck that Sweet Pea and Cowboy are tracking in - have many more chores today - then it's time to play!

I need a new washer and dryer. I don't like the pedestals because I use the tops of my washer and dryer as part of my folding space. Plus I have an adjacent cabinet to the left with a sink and to the right with a long counter top for folding, so putting appliances on pedestals would disturb the flow of the room. Can't you get the Bosch without the pedestals? I know that's the case with other brands.

I'm going white, too. Not paying extra for SS or a color. Besides, the cabinetry is white and the floor in that wing of the house is black and white.

So, I talk in my sleep. Hubby told me that last night I started saying over and over "I can't get the arguments!" He said, "For what?" Finally I said, "The functions!"

You know you're a certified nerd if you have dreams (or nightmares) about mathematical functions in Excel.

BR, I used to recite complex mathematical equations in my sleep.

Was funn~~~~~~

My Texas grandfather used to sleepwalk. On several occasions he went to the neighbor's house and took their dishes out of the kitchen cabinet and put them on the counter. He had no memory of doing this.

I really want to trust you here. Bosch over Maytag? I have figured out it is possible with the lower profile pedestal. I like the fewer number of buttons to push and the clean lines. No need the spray paint, but love me some maytag cheese!

Yes, you can get any of these front loaders w/o pedestals, as they nickel and dime you for them. They do have two heights in the pedestals, which might help you...placing these machines off the ground onto a pedestal will be so much easier on the back. I have always purchased white w/d. Look cleaner to me and my cabinents in the laundry are white, too, so it is a no brainer for me to save $200!

I need to go take a nap so I can go with Mr. K later to pick the machines out. I like my man to go with me....so he can pull out his credit card.

P.S. I have been up since 3 am and I am in a zombie like state. :shock:

We had our counters in the laundry room built the same height as our washer and dryer, 36 inches. Am I gonna be able to find a 36" high washer and dryer?

BTW we are so tall that we have 38" high kitchen counters in both houses. My best friend and her husband are tall, and they built theirs 40 inches high in their house here and when they moved back to SC. I remember someone saying that when their GA house was on the market, someone who looked at the house said she was too short to reach their kitchen counters.

I hear ya on shopping with hubby. ;-)

Poor Kitty! Have a nice nap!

:funn:I love you, gator and all. That is too funny!

Aw, you, too.

I wonder what I say that he doesn?t tell me. Maybe I should keep a voice-activated tape recorder by the bed.;-)

my new favorite thing

the best smelling laundry products!

Is The Laundress stuff available other than online? I didn't have time to check out their site. I'm doing laundry.

Hey, Kitty, what washer/dryer did you buy yesterday? What heights are available? It'll save me a lot of research. ;-)

Cherry trees in bloom, are one of life's greatest visual pleasures. I love Spring in Memphis.

How timely is your question! Just got back from Best Buy. I had narrowed it down to the Maytag or the Bosch, but ended up with the front loading Whirlpool Duet Steam in white off the floor for cost. It was on special and we got 30% off that price....end of season special! It is 53" tall with the pedestal...I have a 55" clearance before the bottom of the overhead cabinet, so it works perfectly! Delivery is Wednesday!

;-)...like you, I am starting a load, now.
