  • 09:19 HOME‼ no matter how humble, there's no place like home #

  • 18:37 i'm glad i came. had a good time w/the 'rents, bro & sis & fams, and it was a welcome change from the rut i was in. i'll be home b4 all them #

  • 21:44 according to the sched, we are about an hour west of St. Louis #
  • 22:03 how many cars would have to drive from say NYC to LA before the odds are even that 1 wouldnt make it due to a fatal accident? #
  • 22:04 i would guess the number is in the 50,000 range #
  • 22:05 we're off the interstate system, sitting at our 1st traffic light in hours #
  • 22:09 quite a few ppl got off here at St Louis Airport. we didnt stop here eastbound #
  • 22:11 1 of of the ppl who got off stopped the bus and got back on #
  • 22:17 she's either a dummy or a terrorist #
  • 22:19 @Synthaetica but alcohol laws apply to everyone in the car? #
  • 22:28 i thot it'd be too dark & rainy to see the St Louis Arch, but 1. we went right by it & 2. the spotlights made it sort of glow. so cool! #

  • 23:39 we have boarded, departure imminent. the driver is disciplining an asian man #
  • 23:42 he let the man back on the bus. i thot he was chastising a man who wouldnt stop talki ng while he was going thru his speech #
  • 23:46 both front rows are reserved by the driver. i'm the frontest passenger on the right in the 2nd row, the 2nd row on the left is unoccupied #
  • 23:47 i havent had a seatmate yet as the buses have been only half full #
  • 23:52 still raining as we leave St Louis #
  • 23:56 i bot a s-carabiner to clip my water bottle to my backpack, and a can coozie w/a neck strap. both clever. sis & niece bot clothes (!) #
  • 23:57 that's right, they bot clothes at Bass Pro Shops. and not sporting clothes, just regular fashion-type clothes #

  • 10:47 biscuits & gravy at the Springfield MO McDonalds! #
  • 12:10 back from brkfast and a pleasant drive around Springfield. Mom kept harping about being taken to Curves for her 30min workout... #
  • 12:11 then remembered her soaps were on so suddenly wanted to go back to the motel. & here we are! #
  • 12:14 @VariantVal so what is lubricious hydrophilic? is it delicious? actually i bet it's WD-40 #
  • 12:34 @VariantVal sure hydro=water philic=love, wd-40 would be hydrophobic #
  • 13:35 went ahead & bot wi-fi from the motel for $3.23 for 24hrs. i'm going to find something to download, even if it's porn, to get my $$$ worth #
  • 13:37 actually i'll dl the tv shows i am missing, tho if the motel thinks time-shifting tv is copyrite violation, that is against the rules #
  • 14:23 Mrs PM Cameron is damn good-looking! #
  • 15:01 RT @JosephLane: When I was a kid I didnt have an imaginary friend so I imagined that I had an imaginary friend. I named him Floyd #truestory #

  • 00:16 i'm getting free internet in this motel rm by hijacking the wi-fi from next door #
  • 00:46 i guess i'll head in & turn in in a little while #
  • 07:13 those air mattresses are much nicer when they stay inflated all night #
  • 07:16 i didnt let my bro see the book i'm reading, Origin of Species the Graphic Novel #
  • 07:20 i went into the lobby to get coffee & the clerk says "hi! i havent seen you since the last time i watched The 70's Show" #
  • 07:23 i am still in my pajamas & my long hair is still bedhead but really! i mumbled something about us old hippies #
  • 07:26 nobody watched Castle w/me last night. Dad was sleeping & Mom puttered around getting ready for bed, writing in her food diary, &c #
  • 07:28 this Live Show we're going to this morn promises to have songs from 50 Broadway shows #
  • 09:23 breakfast @ waffle house including my brother is.gd/c4dm6 #
  • 09:25 i like the name of this quick-mart twitpic.com/1mx6lu #
  • 10:43 this interface told me "unable to upload to twitpic" twice so i sent it again, only to find it posted it all 3 times :( #
  • 10:45 we're here in Branson Variety Theater awaiting the show #
  • 13:19 i kept getting an error so i kept resending. it probably sent it all 3 times #
  • 13:30 stopping to eat...again!!! now at Granny's Food Made From Scratch, in Branson #
  • 16:47 done w/a pleasant day in Branson. saw a show & the Hollywood Wax Museum. heading back to Springfield #
  • 17:34 last tweet kept getting "error sending" msg so kept resending it, but i bet it actually went the 1st time then gave "duplicate tweet" errors #
  • 17:36 sorry i'm only slowly figuring out the little idiosyncracies of @pocketwit #
  • 17:37 back at the motel. my bro is going to hang out w/us for a little while longer #
  • 20:56 a quick dinner at Bob Evans. 3 meals in 11 hours! our 2nd at Bob Evans just cuz it's close #
  • 22:49 skipped NCIS to gab w/Mom, watched NCIS:LA w/Dad who fell asleep, then let Mom watch The Good Wife while i went out to smoke #
  • 22:50 just got a call from a former friend who acted like it was an emergency only to have her hang up when she realised she'd called the wrong 1 #
that was from a friend in the Lions Club who was not speaking to me, perhaps because I'm an insufferable know-it-all, who happened to have 2 people on her speed dial with the same first name. Oddly enough, the last communique from her when we "broke up" had said she was erasing my phone number!
  • 00:02 managed to push it until now before having to turn off the tv so Dad can sleep #

  • 07:45 durn these air mattresses, this one went flat during the night right under me #
  • 08:01 i went to bed around 1130p mostly cuz my dad had ordered lights out at 10p. at 630a i'm ready to get up but he's still slug-a-bed #
  • 08:05 so i have to go outside, but it is pouring rain and cold as hell #
  • 08:06 plus Mom&Dad have the sniffles, and now this morn i feel like i'm coming down w/something too :-( #
  • 08:08 1 more thing to bitch about: betw 1055p my last smoke and about 1125p going to bed, my watch stopped working #
  • 08:10 at Steak'n'Shake last night, my bro paid for everybody's dinner but mine, cuz it was Mothers Day #
  • 08:16 i should stand up to my parents. i should say i wont pay 1/3 of to bill to stumble around w/flashlites, sleep on practically bare floor, #
  • 08:18 do w/o tv, and go out in the cold & rain to smoke #
  • 08:25 this Motel6 charges $3 for internet access #
  • 08:36 @Jamberta i wish!! but on unemploymt i just decided either share a room or skip the trip (my niece getting married) #
  • 08:52 i normallly have a good time w/parents @Jamberta, but this has been prettty bad so far #
  • 09:21 @raghdabutros i didnt say, but i'm almost 58. i'm older than i look :) #
  • 11:15 @raghdabutros it says i've been an Atheist 38yrs. no i'm staying w/parent on a trip. usually we live in different states #
  • 11:16 .@raghdabutros i usually have a good time w/the parents. we actually vaguely like each other #
  • 11:18 the air mattress i used last nite deflated cuz the valve wasnt closed very tighly, so 1 complaint has been somewhat ameliorated #
  • 11:40 breakfast w/the parents at Bob Evans, which is not among my favorite restaurants but it was within walking distance #
  • 15:13 Mom&Dad and I are meeting my bro at Wal-Mart #
I had to buy a new watch! I found a cheap, fairly plain watch, plus I needed fingernail clippers: my mother, whose capacious purse usually has some fingernail clippers, didn't have any with her. Outrageously, my mother used them after we got back to the motel.
  • 18:12 it has been decided, largely w/my acquiescence, that we see a show in Branson called Broadway A Star-Spangled Celebration 10a 2mrro #
  • 23:33 the parents wouldnt watch House or Chuck but Dad was already snoozing so i got to watch Castle instead of his CSI Miami #
  • 23:35 i even got to watch a little news as the lights just now went out instead of 10p sharp #
  • 23:37 at 830p CDT i went for a walk rather than watch a sitcom, found there were even cheaper motels just up the street. Economy Inn is $20.88/nite #
  • 23:38 i havent any idea what that includes, whether they have smoking rms or wi-fi. i couldnt find a webpage for them so i may have to stop in #
  • 23:40 not getting a bed, having a smoking rm, choosing my tv shows or my own bedtime is pretty irritating #
Well, I decided to share the room with my parents to save money as I'm unemployed. The Motel6 was $40 per night, my share is 1/3 or $13.33 so I wasn't seriously considering moving out. They will make me pay my share because they feel like I still have income, my unemployment checks, but their income is fixed (though they do have income from Social Security).
  • 23:43 on the other hand, 2mrro is Dad's birthday. the show we're going to see was Mom's idea but he went along, so i am too, i guess #
  • 23:44 @LHopeD that's the parents. they somehow think i'm being stingy whenever i say i can't afford things #
  • 23:46 tornados touched down in Oklahoma not too far from here. i thot that this was the gustiest weather i ever walked in #
  • 23:49 i have some unlined spandex gloves w/me & i was wearing them during the day. the dreaded wind chill factor! #
  • 23:51 @QuackityQ me too. i don't like that burglary detective moving in on Beckett! i keep hoping something happens to him! [talking about Castle's romantic rival] #
  • 23:53 the lobby of this Motel6 is non-smoking...and closed at 10p, so there's nowhere to sit & smoke in the evening outside #
I guess they didn't need a smoking lobby because they had smoking rooms available.
  • 23:54 is there a difference between hispanic and latino? #
  • 23:55 my brother, who is as devout as i am unreligious, looked at what i was reading, the latest issue of Skeptic magazine #
  • 23:57 he commented about the evolution book advertised on the back cover, that obviously the mag's readers weren't skeptical after all! #
  • 00:00 it's uncanny (actually quite normal, i suppose) how much i am like my father. we both just like puttering around, doing nothing, watching tv #
  • 00:04 @godlessgirl fraid so. we've enjoyed arguing about evolution 4 yrs. but ive been unbeliever for 4 decades, he's been born again only 15yrs #
  • 00:05 @godlessgirl i'm only 11 months older than he #

Yes, just after midnight, at Cincinnati. He couldn't wait with me for the bus because he had worked all day at his church, and he had to spend 1½ hours driving home to get some sleep before going to work at his other job at my Former Employer!
