My toweling order!

Hello Kxxxxxx:
I appear to have a problem with the shipping calculator on my website, you were charged shipping in error, shipping is included in the price of the toweling.  I would be glad to send an additional yard of the toweling to you to make up the shipping charges.  If you would prefer a refund, please let me know.  I will hold up shipping the item until close of business Wednesday awaiting your reply.

Pregnancy woes.

"Nappies arrived! Crazy almost two Weeks after the others!

Oh and this pregnancy just gets better I've got my Ching Cong Chinaman back aka my hemarroid. How can I get through a twin pregnancy without much drama but this one i'm getting it all, lucky me!

From my super Swipey Phone"

*UPDATE*

"Did you get my email saying that the other nappies have arrived! How can 2 items turn up 2 weeks apart?? Thanks though

Ok here's a what would you do?

The toots are currently in nursery for 2 days a week from9 to 2. Their current place does not open on any other days.

A place s friend goes to does 5 days a week, with the minimum 3 sessions but a session could either be 830 to 1130 or till 2. I'm just thinking that with the new baby would it be easier to do the shorter session but 3 mornings a week then home for lunch and quiet time then the baby could sleep and we'd all be ready for an afternoon Play somewhere. I don't even know if there are places available yet just thinking."
 
(I have emailed her to let her know she reached the wrong person. She just needed to know.)

Mobile plan endorsement or actual email?

Just got a fab new phone. Blackberry has gone I got a Samsung galaxy but the old version because its smaller. And I've got a fab deal 70 bucks a month which includes unlimited calls texts and internet and unlimited international calls and texts, calls to landline only.

Just got back from swimming the toots had the best lesson in ages riles spent the whole time doing an underwater wiggle and managed to positively move forwards! Then at the end they both floated/moved their arms and legs enough that they moved forward to get to the edge.  I think when we start going to the pool again in the summer they will do  brilliantly!

He knows a lot about boats. And fishing.

Hi Kxxxxxx!
    Good talking with you last night....even though I was sad to hear your bad news about your prop- shaft and motor problems. I really am envious of your ability to just deal with these kind of things in such a positive manner. Boats are probably even worse than a car in that there always seems like something needs doing on them ( wood boats even more so). I was thinking after talking to you that you could probably just leave the existing motor in place (as long as your thru hull fitting/packing is not damaged and leaking), and make a decision later on to either remove it when you have the boat out of the water / or fix the shaft and motor !As I say unless it's leaking there's no reason to take immediate action...Don't you think? Anyway best of luck with your project to install that new outboard motor!
   Haven't been out fishing yet...but may try try XXXXX or XXXXX lake this weekend. Had a club meeting last Wed. and the talk was that things were starting to happen on the local lakes. Have you been out lately or is the river up and wild now?
  Work on this new house for Xxxxx is going along pretty good . What a house.....not real big but really complex. Ultra-modern which is a change for Brian. It has 2 flat (green) roofs that have decks off them, so that when your out on the decks your surrounded by wild flower plantings. At least thats the idea!
  Anyway, keep the spirits up, and best of luck with your boat projects. Will keep in touch and hopefully make it over to see you sometime in the near future!

Just so you know ...

Whenever I receive an email that looks like it really needs to get to someone, I respond to the sender to let them know that they've reached the incorrect party. For example, the kid who sent me his college final exam? I let him know. And even with the most recent one for a room reservation, I let them know so that they don't charge the person a fee for not responding with menu selections on time.

There was a doozy of one that I wish I had kept - it was a fishing trip of a bunch of men, talking about their reservations, their plans, and what goodies their wives could contribute. It was like I was reading a Mad Men script. Ah well, maybe again someday.

The room is only semi-private? I'd cancel.

"Hi Kxxxxxx,

Thank you for your reservation at XXXXX on Thursday 4/19 from 6pm-730pm for 20 people in our semi-private spiral room! There is a $300 food and beverage minimum plus tax and 18% gratuity with billing on one check. We have a 3-day cancellation policy, there is a $100 charge plus the cost of the preset menu if a cancellation occurs within 3 days of the reservation.

I would like to receive your menu selections by Thursday 4/12, and your final guest count and confirmation are due by 9am Monday 4/16. Once I receive your menu selections, I will put together a formal menu confirmation for you to review and confirm.

Please let me know if you have any further questions!"

I couldn't possibly approve something so garish.

"We live in The Coves at 2888 Knollridge Drive. We would like to put a fence up very soon, the black steel ornamental fence. What do we need to send you to have the plans approved."

Super excited about that cake!




"The sign on the cake reads San Fellipe!"


"The back side of the sign reads "Buy my junk jewelry". Ha ha so great!"

That cake is pretty cool.

"Kxxx made us this fabulous cake look at all of the details/writing."

It's about time I got that picture of a complete stranger ...

"Here is a picture of Jaimie, me, and Maren,  John took out the red eye and sent me this copy.  I don't know why it is looking so elongated in this email.  When he sends me a better copy I'll send it on to you.  On the other hand, if you find a way to get this one to look right, let me know.  I realize you guys have a similar copy, but this way, if you want to use it you can use the best version.
I'm just trying to get this  to you in a timely manner.  Sorry if it is making your life more complicated."

When is that recipe coming?

Hi Kxxxxxx ,
I will soon email you a picture of Jaimie and me together, but I hope Uncle John is going to fix the red eye for me first.  If I haven't gotten them from him by tomorrow, I'll just send it as is, I guess.  If you don't think it is good enough, I'm sure you don't have to use it.
I hope your class room time is going well!  It sounds like quite an experience.
Love,
Lxxxxx
P.S. The recipe will be in the snail mail by Monday, as will.

Aw, thanks, Mom. (not really my mom)

"Happy Valentines Day!!!  Hope you are having a good one!
Love, Mom"

little Dewey? Oh, he's fine ...

"Hi Kxxx and Gxxx,

Hope you had a great Christmas and all the best for 2012:)

How is little Dewey?"

Late homework

"I'm sorry it took me so long to turn this in, I had no idea I would have been that busy over this Christmas week.
Thank you for everything, see you in a couple months."

Really worried about those earrings ...

"Should I stop by your work today?"

Sure, stop by with those earrings.

"Are you at work today?  I could stop by this morning and drop off your earrings.  I will be taking Jay's mother back to Pullman today and probably come back tomorrow.  Let me know.
Thanks for lending them to me.  It was fun to have them to open."

Ugh. I'm glad I don't actually know this chain-email sending lunatic.


RECALL NOTICE:
 
The Maker of all human beings (GOD) is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart.
 
This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units.
 
This defect has been identified as "Sub-sequential Internal Non-morality," more commonly known as S.I.N., as it is primarily expressed.
 
Some of the symptoms include:
1. Loss of direction
2. Foul vocal emissions
3. Amnesia of origin
4. Lack of peace and joy
5. Selfish or violent behavior
6. Depression or confusion
7. Fearfulness
8. Idolatry
9. Rebellion
 
The Manufacturer, who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory-authorized repair and service free of charge to correct this defect.
 
The Repair Technician, JESUS, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the staggering cost of these repairs. There is no additional fee required.
 
The number to call for repair in all areas is: P-R-A-Y-E-R.
 
Once connected, please upload your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE procedure.
 
Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into the heart component.
 
No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with:
1. Love
2. Joy
3. Peace
4. Patience
5. Kindness
6. Goodness
7. Faithfulness
8. Gentleness
9. Self control
 
Please see the operating manual, the B.I.B.L.E. (BEST Instructions Before Leaving Earth) for further details on the use of these fixes.
 
WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without correction voids any manufacturer warranties, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too numerous to list, and will result in the human unit being permanently impounded. For free emergency service, call on Jesus.
 
DANGER: The human being units not responding to this recall action will have to be scrapped in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted to enter Heaven so as to prevent contamination of that facility. Thank you for your attention!
 
- GOD 
 
P.S. Please assist where possible by notifying others of this important recall notice, and you may contact the Father any time by 'Knee mail'! 
 
Because HE Lives!

Casey is so insensitive. Whoever she is.

"Casey won't be able to make it, she has to work late that night.  See you Wed."

Xmas greetings

"Kxxxx and Jxxxx,
We had our computer crash...all is gone including your email address. We are trying this to see if you receive it. In addition to this we just had a new grandson from our Daughter..very busy season of life but blessed each day. :-) We will be available in Florida Jan 24-Feb 1 but not there on Wed Jan 18 at Disney. What days and times are you speaking at Maranatha with Charlotte?  What other time would you be available to visit with us at Disney World? Have a blessed Christmas."

I don't like water.

"Good Morning Everyone
I have received a list of everyone that has made a hotel reservation for the cruise. If you don't see your name on the list and need a room, please call me ASAP.
The hotel has FREE pick up at the airport to the hotel."

You're still not the boss of me.

"Ok, I have the button saved in the paypal site.  That was a learning experience!  A good one though.
I don't know where to put the button or how to put the button on the page.  I'm going to text you with my questions too.  I'd be happpy to take care of it, i just am not sure how."

You're not the boss of me, don't tell me what to do!

"First, can you please remove the "Free Ticket" part of what's included in registration.  The committee changed that. Also, Can you make an online reg form that they can fill out right on the website.  Then it could be sent to JC, our registration chair? I'm working on the paypal link right now. P.S.  The flyer that's in the Pre-Registration section, doesn't actually have a registration form on it, it's mostly informational."

Apparently my plates are ready.

"Your license plates for your vehicle are now ready to be picked up. We can put them on for you also while you are here if you would like.

You can pick them up any time right here at the front desk during our normal business hours:  Monday-Friday 7:00am - 8:00pm & Saturday from 8:30am - 5:00pm.

Thank you for your business!"

Reservations? For me?

"Your reservation in the name of xxxx Larson for Tuesday, 22 November 2011 at Pure has been approved."
