So, justbugged and Zgoatlady are from Enumclaw. (Enumscratch as we used to call it and sadly think that was a clever zing...). I grew up down the road in Buckley. I know, I know, arch rivals and all that, but since you were bigger and usually better at everything, I hope you'll forgive me for my origins. In fact, during high school I saw a list of the class offerings at Enumclaw High and was green with envy, you had so much more variety than we did at White River. I personally would have changed schools in a heartbeat. This no doubt reveals a sad lack of school spirit, but it was what it was.
Any Buckley people ever check in here? Haven't been back there in a few years now, since my parents passed, but used to get back several times a year and was always amazed at the growth (and the traffic!) compared to when I lived there. Of course, I graduated from HS in 1981, ao it's been a long time....

My DS and DDiL live in Buckley. They are just off off Mundy Loss Rd. Bonney Lake is nearly unrecognizable, if compared to what it was when I moved out here 20 years ago. Enumclaw and Buckley are very nearly the same. I don't know much about the schools out here, except that at one point Enumclaw had the highest rate of std's. We homeschooled our 2 kids. They have finally gotten 4 lanes on Hwy 410 all the way to 234th. It would make things easier if they could run 4 lanes all the way to Enumclaw. These 2 towns have very little change in them. It was a big deal when we got a Walgreen's store here in town. lol I would love to move out of this town, but my DH seems to love it there. I would love to be either closer into the city, or far enough away to have some acreage and privacy. I hate being stuck in suburbia. So welcome to the Washington thread.

OK will let ya slide this time.

But REALLY when things like this past storm happen sure would be nice if we could all stay in touch just to make sureall are ok and if there are things we may be able to do for each other.

Okay am happy that I can slide this time. I am such a ding bat these days. I knew that I needed to check in, but for some reason beyond my comprehension there are times that I just can't seem to bring myself to post. It wasn't anything to do with BYC, because I had trouble replying to anybody. I still need to send pictures of the storm mess to my DH.

I have the pictures, but I haven't even gotten them loaded on to the computer.

Thank you for the sympathy for my loss.

I have been managing to get by and try to learn the new BYC. Then this morning I was looking at a thread of solved problems. I discovered that I was not running IE-9 but something called a pre-release IE-9. So I updated and guess what My whole screen lay out is changed

I will have to check this out. I don't know what IE-9 is.

plant physiology = brain dead

That's because they don't teach people about what a scare plant will do. I am a firm believer that plants scream when they are taken on a fast drive.

Plants are meant too stay in one place and they rarely ever move by them selves. I hope your class and brain get better soon.

So I wanted to post a bunch of replies last night and couldn't - there was no 'reply' function available. I thought BYC was having problems until I realized that I'd been logged off. I sure didn't do it - I was in the middle of reading and posting to this thread when it must have happened. Anyone else get randomly booted off the forum?
Just curious -

I was having the same problem yesterday. It took me way to long to finally figure out that I had been logged out.

Thank you everyone for your messages of sympathy. It was something I knew was coming, and so it wasn't a big shock when the time came. It is the hardest to deal with when I head for bed. He always slept next to our bed. I miss hearing him laying down for the night. It sounded like a huge pile of bones hitting the floor. I must say that I let the Vet take care of the body. There was no way I could have gotten a hole big enough, let lone deep enough without a backhoe.

I now need another large dog, but I don't want one as big as Puppy. I wish that Livestock Guardians came in smaller packages. The LGD's are an ideal match for us. It is a shame that all the LGD's are massive sized dogs. I counted on Puppy to protect me and the house. I know that he wouldn't have been much use if someone tried to break into the house, but he was sure intimidating .

Well I need to go out and get something done around here, before the meds wear off.
