Just put my lei on and am going to water 

  Don't forget the Hawaiian print shirt.

And let me tell you it is wet, it takes a hour out there to water and pick up and it takes everything out of me when it is warm out. When it is cool it doesn't bother me.

Faust definitely in tune with donkey training
Nancy Faust is baseball's most famous organist.

She is not as well known as an accomplished donkey trainer.

Her 12-year-old pet donkey, Mandy, knows a dozen tricks. Mandy stands on a pedestal and waves. Faust asks Mandy if a reporter is just a little smarter than her, and the donkey shakes her head no. Mandy can count. She cannot, however, hit the pickoff man.

Faust rescued her first donkey, Rosita, from a late 1970s Bill Veeck ''Ragtime Night'' at Comiskey Park.

''I don't remember the hook,'' Faust says while overseeing a Mandy pedicure from blacksmith Trent Hinkle.

''I know Bill had an old piano, an old car and a donkey. They were door prizes. When nobody claimed the donkey, a few days later I asked [Veeck's right-hand man] Rudy Schaefer if I could take it home. He gave me the OK.''

Faust brought the 400-pound Rosita, a.k.a. Rosie, to her then-home in Des Plaines.

''I quickly realized how smart they are,'' she says. Faust turns to her blacksmith and says, ''We found an old school bell, and [Faust's husband] Joe installed it a week ago. Now we have to hide the rope because Mandy's ringing it all the time. She knows if she rings it, I go running to her. That's how I trained her.''

In a separate conversation, Hinkle says, ''I've never seen a donkey this smart.''

Suddenly, Mandy starts braying in the background.

Faust lovingly asks, ''Are you a smart ass, Mandy?''

She continues, ''When I was a kid, my dad would take me horseback riding in Lincoln Park if I practiced music 15 minutes a day. There used to be stables there.''

Besides taking care of Mandy, who weighs 600 pounds, Faust watches over chicken, geese and her Border Collie mix Patches at the Hawthorn Woods home she shares with Joe Jenkins, her husband of 30 years. He works for the Fremont Township assessor's office.

One of Faust's prize mementos is a December 2006 letter from then-Sen. Barack Obama.

She wrote Obama to state her opposition to the commercial slaughter of horses. He wrote back and added, ''I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your talents and artistic contributions as the White Sox organist. I am one of your many fans and look forward to catching a game and enjoying some of your music next year.''

I don't know the meaning of don't overdue and that is half my problem    Thank the certain someone for that story 

[trimmonthelake]

See you all later, time to leave for the doctor 

Oh goodie!

Now rehearse what you are going to say. LOL

And I sure hope he finds something that will make you better!

 

I did rehearse, and he took me 45 min early, which was nice.  It is something in a tube way in my ear, don't even know what it is  have to start some steroids tomorrow. My ears he said don't need to be cleaned and even if they did it wouldn't help with what is happening to me.

Was it like a eustacian tube disorder,causes fluid to build up,blah,blah?
That's what they told me.Had it for years.
Steroids will make it feel better.   
Maybe we should start working out!   

That was it eustacian tube     I can work out if I don't have to bend 

Me too!
I wonder if hubby will take it easy on me in the truck to get to Walmart?
I'll just take a pain pill and maybe that will keep me comfy until I get back.   

Trimm, if you don't feel like going to Walmart, don't go and just send the hubby. Don't hurt yourself even worse.

I made it.LMAO,I got everything hooked up on both computers.I need a mouse for this laptop,or I am gonna be so far behind .......maybe sidekick will want to use it and I'll use the deasktop.I had the dumbest salesperson of all time in Walmart.I just winged and got everything I needed,except a new mouse.I am so excited I hooked all this up by myself!
I was very careful walking around,and now I think I need to take a break.Just had to test this stuff out.See you monkeys in a little bit.I'll change computers.It is terrible that I am so lazy about using this keypad,but it drives me crazy.

[no rose colored glasses]

You out did yourself Trimm, hope the back is better today  Now take it easy for awhile. Are there clerks at Walmart that aren't dumb? I'm sorry

Thanks JSM.  After my second daughter was born and I had a caesarean, and was feeling horrible to say the least, when they let me go home I washed all the windows because my mom was coming to help me out    When she saw me, she said you are as white as a ghost and I've never seen you look so sick. But I couldn't sit down.

[joesamas mama]

You out did yourself Trimm, hope the back is better today  Now take it easy for awhile. Are there clerks at Walmart that aren't dumb? I'm sorry 

I can't stand Walmart clerks. They are never helpful. I wish I had a Kmart I love Kmart.

Tell that special guy thanks.  They are smart that's why they get into so much trouble. But hers sound like little guys when you consider that Lumps lost 250 lbs.

My mom told me that when she said it is time to take a nap, we put the baby in the little crib in the room and my oldest daughter in my bed, and my mom would lay with me so I would be sure to sleep. And she would say that within a minute I was snoring everyday.

The guy that works in the electronics dept at Walmart here is 6'4" heavy set with gray hair in a braid down to his waist and a hearing aid. He is scary and really can't explain things to you. I usually skulk around till he's tied up with a customer and I grab anyone else.
