What are you up to today?

@TheHorse Marco is working here and Lili should have arrived already.

@marguicha What does Marco do for you?

Elaborate!

Oh oh. Are you going to take a walk, become a MyLot Queen, read a book, or eat until you're like this Monty Python scene?

@TheHorse This book is about a young man who inherits his grandparents' house on Buzby Beach. His family is one of the "founding families" of the town and the estate is rather large for such a small island. His dad was skipped over by the grands for an incident that led to a haunting of the estate by a young lady. The story is about how the young man, his estranged dad, the dad's new wife, and the young man's girlfriend come together to figure out how to end the haunting. It's a new direction for me but still set at Buzby Beach.

@DWDavis Sounds interesting! How does one end a haunting?

What's your book about?

How long were you gone?

@TheHorse left June 29th.

@Tampa_girl7 Sounds about like my August trips to Montana.

Dealing with legal stuff gives me a pain in the tush. Hell, my lawyer friend told me about a couple of gals who embezzled $400,000 from her client (he is from India and ran a truck stop). The DA in that County was "too busy " to prosecute the case. The crims lost their boats and fancy cars, but are still out there, looking for other people to rip off.

@andriaperry Do people have to answer to the law there when they don't pay rent or otherwise engage in small-scale criminal activity? Here, the courts are so busy, it's hard to "bust" small-scale bad guys. There's a fella who owes me $3,000 for wood restoration work I did for him. He's basically "daring" me to go after him.

@TheHorse My problem had been waiting for the day to come, in jail. But we are small town so nothing like what you know about there.

That sounds like a good day to me. Oh, it's after Noon! Let me raise a glass to you!

@TheHorse Yeah, the neighbor gals have offered.

Oh, I LOVE sending samples to the Lab. But gathering them is the REAL fun. Wait. Let's talk about something else. Congrats on those spikes! Will you have help moving the shed?

@BarBaraPrz Cool. Did things work out?

@TheHorse maybe half..we had to lower the hedge and boy was that a job.

@scarlet_woman Was it satisfying? Or just drudgery?

Well, it's a couple of weeks later. Did you get it all done?

@TheHorse No, my husband is not very well, he is in pain and almost cannot walk. The doctor called yesterday afternoon and asked for more tests. We go to the hospital on Friday, tomorrow is a holiday here.

@LadyDuck I'll send healthy thoughts your way.

Is your hubby OK?

I just found some photos from 20 years ago while fetching softballs from under my kitchen table. I'm going to have to scan some of them.

@JudyEv I am.

@TheHorse Are you saying those photos have been under your kitchen table for 20 years?

I've never heard of Inboxdollars. What kinds of surveys do they send you?

@Deepizzaguy Are they interesting? How much time is involved?

@TheHorse They send me emails to read, look at videos and do surveys that range from 25 cents to around 3.75 if they are completed. Cashing out is at $30 dollars.

What part of the US are you in? The Bay Area is hopelessly expensive.

@CaseyRoss9966 I bet your gas prices are at least a dollar per gallon less than ours!

@TheHorse North Carolina. Everything is expensive and no where pays that well. I think I have worked out a situation though that is affordable for me.

What kind of clients?

@Janet357 Ah, so you oversee tutors? That sounds cool. I'd like to do some math tutoring for elementary school kids. I have delusions of being able to make math fun. (I was a statistics tutor in college and emphasized math when I was a preschool teacher at age 22--my first "real" job).

@TheHorse parents of the kids my teachers tutor.

That's exactly what I was thinking!

@cperry2 Never heard of it!

@TheHorse So did you start with the onlinebookclub?

@TheHorse Good luck. He's in a terrible mood. As for FOX News' points: It boils down to, Long-haired bed-wetting hippie Liberals are ruining everything and need to be stamped out so the outrageous persecution of heterosexual (At least in public), downtrodden, well-to-do, white, male Christians will finally end (They are the only demographic group that's ever been discriminated against, you know, and today, it's worse than ever!).

Can you brief me on the main points made by FOX News? I have to meet with Donal Trump this evening and want to appear informed.

@TheHorse 88 and humid. The humidity is the yucky part

@wolfgirl569 It's a bit cooler than that here. But it's been humid here as well.

Is it a tad warm there?

Stove top? You mean those things are meant to be cleaned? Heh. I REALLY should clean mine.

@TheHorse Yep. The hardest part is cleaning the rack thing (have no idea what it's actually called) that goes on top of the stove top. I have not figured out how to get the grease off of that.

It does not. But I hope it all goes well.

@TheHorse Thanks.

I hope it goes well.

Thanks @TheHorse

Do you interact with the web via spoken word?

@TheHorse I do. I use screen readers, software on my laptop and phone that reads what's on my screen. It lets me use most apps and websites independently.
