First Vent! President Obama is supposed to be coming to Boston tomorrow evening. But he is considering changing his plans. If we win the World Series and he is in town, security is going to be a nightmare. Please stay home Mr. President. Let us have our celebration.

Second Vent! We are going to be visited by the "Friends of Suffolk Downs" to talk to us about the casino tonight at five p.m. It will be held down in the community room. Now this room is just big enough to hold only the residents and maybe a guest or two. What someone has not realized is that "The Friends" have been conducting a citywide phone calling thingy and inviting folks from all over Eastie to attend. I am going down, grab my food and sit in a corner to watch the mayhem. Someone didn't think this one out very well. I don't like the idea of folks just walking in off the street. Access to the apartments is just too easy. :angel:

Perhaps it's been thought out only too well. The "friends" have obviously hit on a way to pack the meeting and exclude locals who might object to the proposals

I want to make Canollis some day, too. My husband wants them because the old man always talks about them on Everybody Loves Raymond reruns.

There was an episode of "Cagney and Lacey" when the lady policemen were helping to cater for a colleague's leaving party and spent every waking minute and part of the night making canolli by the dozen, only to find out when they delivered them that the party boy had requested canelloni !!!!

Ooops!
 
Today my sales tax reports were due. I went to the Revenu Québec website to file them online. It wouldn't recognize me. I know my username and password are correct. I can't remember them, so they are in Password Safe. I used Password safe to copy and paste username and password the last time I signed into their "ClicSéqur Express" website. Grrr. I'll have to phone them tomorrow and find out what's up.

I went to my biz banking site and filed the returns there. They charge me two dollars. They won't submit them until tomorrow, so they will be late. I shouldn't have to pay a penalty because I have refunds. I am not a happy camper.
 
What a pain taxy! The more "official" stuff I do online the more trouble it seems to be. Hope you argue your point against them and win in the morning. Good luck!
 
I was just about to go to the health food store and buy some leeks. I want to make some leek and potato soup. Then I remembered, my right wrist has a mild inflammation. I'm wearing my brace. I don't think it would be a good idea to slice all that leek. Phooey.

Good idea. I think I'll try that in a few days, when the wrist is better, but I don't want to strain it. There's still potatoes to peel, and that doesn't sound like such hot idea either, until the wrist gets a bit better.

Maybe boil them skin on, then slip the skins off? So sorry about the wrist, Taxy.

Hope the wrist feels better soon taxy! I know on the days my fingers don't cooperate I feel so old. :( I don't care if I GET old, I just don't want to FEEL old! :LOL:

Thanks CG.

I hear ya. I'm not so fond of this feeling old stuff. Bifocals, pills for osteoporosis, drops for glaucoma, joints that "creak" first thing in the morning, not remembering stuff as well...
 
I am also dealing with hand/ finger / wrist pain issues. IT STINKS!! And my girls complaining about what I can't do. They are young and complain about doing such a tiny amount of what I did at their age!!

(((Hugs MsM)))

My wrist is nothing as bad as yours. I'm just being really careful. I don't want it getting bad.
 
Not so happy with DH. He stayed home today, slept most of today even though he claims he's not sick, and skipped work. First time in many years.

I got home from work, and the TV remote was nowhere to be found. I tore the sunroom apart, checked all the usual places, garage, everywhere. DH said he had no idea where he put it. Grrrrr. No help whatsoever.

I finally found the remote, it was sandwiched between a couple of cushions on an unused chair. Did I mention that I was not happy?
