Miscellaneous bits

When I was in South Carolina, I bought a tank of gas for the rental car.  It was $2.09 a gallon which stuck me as dirt cheap. 

One of Mom's new neighbors is Alicia Rhett who played India Wilkes in Gone with the Wind.  It was a short lived movie career.  She spent most of her life as a portrait painter.  She is now a tiny little thing with the most beautiful face.  She wears it with a cheer smile and a big 'hello' at all times.  Her skin is flawless.  Mom says she has about half her marbles. 

It always strikes me - as I look around at the often bobbing white heads in the joint - if you could give them all their brains and voices back - what amazing stories you might be able to dig out of them...

When I was at Mom's, I bought a light bulb at Walmart.  I was smart, I saved the card with the details on it and I put in a place where Mom could find it.  Now I want to buy 5 for me.  Mom sent me the name and model number and I cannot find them anywhere online and it's making me nuts.  The closest Walmart is 13 miles from here and I'm sure that if I drove there, they would not have them in stock.  I did not find them in the light bulb section but in the section that had thermometers and atomic clocks. It was weird at the time but now I know it was very weird.  It's a Lights of America bulb - model 2830.  They have a website but this bulb ain't on it.  GRRRRR 

Tomorrow morning I'll go to a shop near here that has only light bulbs and see if they can help. 

I don't seem to be missing any LJ comment emails but so many of my LJ friends are still complaining about it, I am constantly checking.  It feels like 'will everyone not here please raise your hand?'

Right before I left, Roomba had a bit of a fit when I was running it.  I just put it back into its base and left it.  I need to run it today and make sure it is ok.  Maybe it was just sad that I was leaving.

And, last but not least, happy birthday pheon!  I hope you got rid of your cold for your birthday.
