Tray Liner Paper

Posted on Monday, June 22nd, 2009 at 7:43 pm

Hi David: We are running low on tray liner paper…there is a huge roll here, I can use it, but it is bigger than the one on the roller now. Check it out when you’re here and let me know if it is to be used or discarded. In the meantime, I can use old programs. Hopefully you’ll be able to finish the flights over July 4th weekend. Jen

You can skip to the end and leave a response. Pinging is currently not allowed.

    Well. I decided I would go talk to someone at Home Depot…and then someone else if necessary. First I went to look for a really expensive stud finder…thinking that I would buy it, use it…then take it back. I know…I know, call me a thief…turns out I didn’t have to claim the title. The guy working in the tool corral helped me out…tall guy with dreads…he’s helped us before…I explained the 3/4″ wood…the drywall behind it and then the cement block…I also showed him the screw I just took out. After a bit of conversation, we figured that if the screw was going that far in, it wasn’t hitting the cement block, so we ruled out the cement block options…after looking at a couple more options, I settled on these plastic screw-in anchors and a 1 3/4″ screw…went back to George’s redrilled a few holes…drilled a few new ones and voila! It worked! We attached the blinds and, I must say I was feeling quite accomplished…but, when George turned the blinds, they all (well most of them) fell off…that was a depressing moment…but we laughed and got that them back in place for now. Well, I do have to go to bed now. So, goodnight, David.

    Of course. Good-night, Jen.

    And good-night to you too Ellen, wherever you are!

  3. Jennifer says:

    Me too…go to sleep that is. So, I’ll be the first to say good night…I’d like to talk again sometime, you?Jen

  4. David says:

    How did you attach it so well?

  5. Jennifer says:

    Got it…won’t veer off this stream. JT

    Controllers also use their health to control others. So, for instance, it would be very controlling of me to complain of fatique at this late hour after a long day, much of it in the sun lifting and carrying loads of pungent lake grass with minnows desperately flinging themselves this way and that in their vain efforts to escape the overwhelming world of air. But it would be less than assertive for me to miss this opportunity to say that I must soon go to sleep.

    Glad she invited you in. I like the few stories you just relayed. Speaking of owls…still planning to put up the owl house at your folks? No pressure from me, just wondering…what do you think Dr. Camm would say? Maybe you should check with her first! Did she share her poem with you. Lonely. I don’t have a Dr. Camm but I do have George. I was committed to his blinds. So, Saturday I went to Home Depot, got my tools together and reattached the wood…really good job, it’s secure now. George helped and we talked about politics (of course). He was making coffee and offered me a cup. We talked about his daughter Holly, too…how she had cancer (tumor on the brain) when she was just over 3-years-old…surgery…chemo…how George wanted to give her every opportunity to grow up without being treated differently because of it. When I was at Home Depot I thought of you…I had been in there before, but this time it felt lonely to be in there without you.

    What is plan B? Are you cross-posting? Is that permitted? This is the Tray Liner post. Comments related to it are permitted, certainly. Comments tangential to it are encouraged. Spontaneous inspiration is not discouraged. However, comments to an altogther different post really are – and I hate to be the controller that told you so – verboten! There are rules here – not just suggestions.

    What makes Dr. Camm interesting to me? She invited me in. That’s it. I was delivering a dinner, and she invited me in. She’s lonely. Me too. And she knows how to keep a conversation going. Me too. She told me things I won’t forget. The two hours a barred owl spent outside her window hooting. The poem she wrote about it the first hour. How she wished for a shotgun the second. The horse she rode everyday as a child through the peanut fields of Alabama where she decided at twelve to be a Doctor. The cat who brought her birds and baby rabbits when she was doctoring on the east coast of Florida when her godchildren were seven and nine. The twenty one chapters of the book friends encouraged her to write about Vietnam in ’72 doctoring the children there.

    Consider it done. The mouthwash that is…contents of both bottles down the drain. Good to know you haven’t had the desire to drink and glad you figured out the mouthwash is not the right thing. What about Plan B for the eggs…think it will work?

    What made me go back to wheat? The DV literature. Controllers control diet, other people’s diet. People who insist on health food are controllers. Besides, I have can’t control what food is in this house. So, I decided to give up, more or less. I haven’t noticed any significant difference.

    Found a public boat dock at the north east corner of Lake Fairview. It’s at the intersection of OBT and Lee Rd. Went to Lake Fairview Marina. Talked to Cynthia. She gave me the scoop on sailing instruction. They offer instruction for sailing certification which is required to rent big boats for big sail adventures. They also have hourly instruction. The City of Orlando no longer offers instruction – not enough interest. But the City still has fifteen boat neglected in the sun. There is a club. But it is foundering. Still, they have a website.
    Just blew an hour exploring a hair brain notion.
    Oh. Oh. BIG news flash. Speaking of hair brain notions … I do believe there’s a connection between alcohol in Listerine and my desire to drink. Really. So, you can throw the Listerine out! Honest, I’ve had absolutely no desire to drink. Then I went home for the weekend. Used Listerine for the first time in quite a while. Boom. Now – was it going home OR was it Listerine. Hmmm.

    Hi. Ellen and I go to my folks on Tuesday and Thursday evenings after work til around 9 pm. Then on the weekend…Saturday morning, I may go over around 8:30 or so, help get my dad out of bed, then come back and be at the house for a while, then Ellen and I go back for the afternoon/evening or we do this on Sunday. This week and the beginning of next, Ellen is spending her days at Mattie’s. Marie is home. I drop her off on my way in and pick her up on my way home from work. Today was the first day we did this. I’m looking into a week-long day camp at the Science Center for one of the weeks in July. She’ll spend some days at home (wants to rearrange her room) and will come to help at the office, too. Band camp starts at the beginning of August – two weeks prior to school starting from 1-9 pm each day. Thanks for the tip about Chamberlins. What made you go back to eating wheat? I’ve heard your Mom speak of Dr. Camm. What makes her interesting to you? Jen

  14. David says:

    If you two have a schedule, I’d like an idea what it is. The three days you’re at your folks, Jen. Where Ellen is spending her days.
    Chamberlains in Winter Park today had Millet Raisin for 4.49. That I think is less than Whole Foods. I’m eating wheat. But I thought I’d let you know because the last time I was at Whole Foods a loaf was near six bucks.
    Pulled more weeds from the lake today. Visited a widow friend of my folks named Dr. Camm … Very interesting woman.

  15. Jennifer says:

    Sure.

  16. David says:

    Well, have you got time to talk?

  17. Jennifer says:

    Ok…thanks…it is the lighter stuff. I’ll use it once I run out of the 50#. Thanks for solving the mystery of the lighter, bigger paper for me. JT

  18. David says:

    Jen: Like you said, you can use old programs. You say there is a roll there and that it is bigger than the one on the roller. Are you saying that you’d like me to help you solve this problem for you? Do you mean that the roll is wider? That the paper is wider? All I do is measure the paper, measure the tray, and make a decision that often involves a final sheet size that has to me folded. Remember the paper weight is an issue, too. If you have the bright while fifty pound, you’re in good shape. If you have the lighter stuff, you may want to use more of it.

    David
