West is where it's at!” 9:13:19 AM 12/13/04 “Still 12 degrees here, but the sun is peeking out a little. I'm out the door to climb some stairs.” 9:13:19 AM 12/13/04 “Its snowing! Its snowing!...just flurries, but they're the first flakes of the year!” 9:57:03 AM 12/13/04 “gosh, I slept 4 hours, can't believe I am not tired. went to bed at 2, got up at 6. well 6:15. Oh hold it, I got up at 7 today. so I got 5 hours of sleep. getting colder here in SC.” 10:02:18 AM 12/13/04 “I'm up first! I'm up first! Zero degrees in my little shack in Trego, Wisconsin this fine crisp morning. Still not enough snow for skiing. I've already taken a nice chunk out of my neatly stacked pile of firewood and I'll be burning more today. Gotta get my coffee. Have a great day, guys & gals.” 6:27:51 AM 12/14/04 “i've BEEN up!!! been up since...I don't know! A while. cold here today...high in the low 40s. That's cold for SC. got my coffee, got only a little work... hahahahaha!!! I am good to go today!! last edited: 12/14/04 7:15:36 AM” 7:07:21 AM 12/14/04 “21° outside our little cheese box here in SE MI. Birch and I are both missing our woodstove very much. Almost enough to consider buying a smaller one for flame gaze use. The heating bills are going up up UP too. Still have lots of wood, I think I'm just about convinced.” 7:11:18 AM 12/14/04 “yes sass, and think about how good a woodstove smells....hmmm.... i would love a wood stove.” 7:15:16 AM 12/14/04 “Every wood stove I ever had got burned up in the first fire. I prefer metal.” 7:51:17 AM 12/14/04 “It actually reached 39 degrees here this morning! I had to turn on the itty bitty space heater I put in the gardening shed, for all the tender stuff and all the pepper plants. It's pretty breezy outside, coming from the northwest. Cold and dry.” 7:58:38 AM 12/14/04 “I've got a gas fireplace which is nice, but i like the smell of a wood fire lots better. good morning!” 7:59:15 AM 12/14/04 Smart ass stumblebum “This New-kid-on-the-block's remarks make it worth leaving the computer turned off. Maybe I should try this ignore feature. last edited: 12/14/04 8:08:55 AM” 8:06:04 AM 12/14/04 “Why not do both?...it would take care of your posts as well, lol.” 8:10:00 AM 12/14/04 “Hmmmmm. Now I wonder what he said. Let's see how long I can avoid peeking. He did answer to his new name, so he knows who he is. LOL. last edited: 12/14/04 8:18:18 AM” 8:12:49 AM 12/14/04 Nowslimmer “So, how do you like me now? Ha-ha.” 8:15:06 AM 12/14/04 “It's cold and windy here. It's nice though. I'd love to have a small wood burner but I'll have to settle for snuggling up with the wife on the couch and gazing at the space heater.” 8:19:44 AM 12/14/04 I peeked! “Not a bit! But Snake Eyes is a better guy. BTW, watch out for flying glass, while you're burning up those wood worms. LOL. last edited: 12/14/04 8:24:25 AM” 8:21:43 AM 12/14/04 “trolling on the freaking get up thread!! lol... too much for me to take early in the morning. i am out of here. 'see' ya all later. :)” 8:22:34 AM 12/14/04 “Aw man! That was an great one! Wood stove burning up the first time. Classic!” 8:24:57 AM 12/14/04 “Gem, I think the neighbors miss our woodstove just as much as we do! It always smelled so good outside. Dried the air indoors too much though, couldn't keep the humidifier full and the stove was a double walled steel one that didn't get hot enough to set a pot of water on top.” 8:28:12 AM 12/14/04 “I can't sleep...whaaaaaa” 11:04:53 PM 12/14/04 “Me neither, but I don't have a need to wake everyone up about it. Go back to bed 8)” 2:11:33 AM 12/15/04 “Wakie.....wakie.......boy is it cold in Alabama....brrrrrr....it is a down coat morning!!!!!.....21 degrees.......THAT is cold for here....brrrr.......I hate the cold....BUT love snow!!!!........it hasn't snowed her in a few years....( a decent snow.....over an inch)...we are overdue!!!! Y'all have a great day.......SMILE....everyone will wonder what you are up to!!!!!” 4:17:39 AM 12/15/04 “I'm smiling.” 5:05:55 AM 12/15/04 “I'm smiling. Chilly here this morning...in the single digits. I fired up the woodstove for the first time yesterday. Winter's here and we're expecting some snow next week. Ther's enough on the ground to make it a white Christmas. Sill waiting on the big snow storm. last edited: 12/15/04 5:56:11 AM” 5:55:06 AM 12/15/04 39°F. -----> 61°F. “This is terrible. I'll need more than a t-shirt this morning. Anyone for ice-coffee this morning? Hmmm, the butter won't spread, I'll have to warm it on the stove. Have a great day. Done typing, so I can put my gloves back on my hands. aaaaaaahhh....” 6:22:40 AM 12/15/04 “I'm up dangit, I'm up....can't seem to get all the sleep crud out of my eyes this morning. Thermometer says 29 degrees, with the breeze it feels cooler. Kinda nice, helps wake me up. This 4-5 hours of sleep a night thing really stinks. More coffee, please. Kona blend, light roast. Mmmm...” 6:52:28 AM 12/15/04 “Treebait, I don't recommend it! Keep it up and you'll start to lose "it", lol. Since I've been off work I'm getting a solid eight every night. When I go back to 5-6 hours a night I may cry! Warning: If you all see me tomorrow I may be drugged. Watch out for weird posts.';)” 7:04:29 AM 12/15/04 “28 here and frost all over the ground..beautiful clear morning... a toasty 58 degrees inside...lol....my heating system died this year and am squeaking by until i get a replacement with a couple of baseboard space heaters. not too bad...like camping...and there is the man made hot spring outside jai~~~~ like hafiz said... be happy y'all....even before you have a reason” 7:16:29 AM 12/15/04 “...and there's always a reason. I can't believe I slept in until after 7:00; how unmiddleaged of me. It's going to be a weird day. Sass, I've read your posts and thought you WERE on drugs ;) Good luck with whatever is happening to you today 8)” 7:27:45 AM 12/15/04 “morning all....17 here this morning a bit nippy..but nice to see some real winter weather for a change. Everything was covered with little pointy ice crystals this morning. I wish I'd had time to stop and photograph.” 7:49:58 AM 12/15/04 “I'm not use to the cold yet!!! It's in the teens this morning. Burrr!!! I might go looking for that pellet stove thread just to warm up. I gotta find some alternative heat for those chilly nights,,,,my dreams about being sandwiched between a couple of TT hotties doesn't even seem to help,,,thats how cold it is. I want a wood burner,,,pun intended! I'm silly this morning,,,must be the frost on the brain.” 7:51:01 AM 12/15/04 “i am so up...not tired either. yeah!!! i hope i can get to bed regular time tonight. am already done with my first cup of coffee...no more coffee for me until at least noon. :( sunny, blue sky...temps? i am guessing in the very low 30s. don't have TV on yet. awwww...i missed the morning news!!” 7:58:44 AM 12/15/04 “slacker!” 8:01:09 AM 12/15/04 “I'm on my 3rd cup of coffee. It's a 50/50 coffee and milk blend, mind you. It's cold enough outside that my indoor/outdoor cat opted to stay in. The outdoor cats discovered the little heater in the gardening shed, so guess where they're hanging out, lol. Funny, now that the sun's been up a while the temperature actually dropped some more. The tree rats looked miserable, so I put out some corn for them. Florida squirrels just don't develop good thick coats like the squirrels in the Smokies do.” 8:04:46 AM 12/15/04 “whhaaa....indiana called mua a slacker!!! hey...i'll watch 'em later. got to know what's going on in this freaked out world. don't drink my coffee with milk. black, no sugar, and very strong!! only time I have some sort of milk in it is when I drink a strong cappuccino...and even then I have only the froth in it...when i order them people think I am nuts... they call it a dry cappuccino. coffee must be strong. must :)” 8:08:47 AM 12/15/04 “ok, i'm up. And I'm (groan) having to iron ( I HATE ironing ). Soo, i'll take a TT break in between pants and shirts.” 8:14:56 AM 12/15/04 “Roam, last time I ironed I burnt the #&%!$ out of my finger. I think I'm giving it up. Gemini, I like the way you drink your coffee. Thick and black for me too. I can hardly choke down that stuff they call coffee at the filling station. In this silly town there's absolutely nowhere to get a good coffee on the run.” 8:21:10 AM 12/15/04 “Milk and sugar are for people who don't like coffee. Black and strong for me, thanks.” 8:27:19 AM 12/15/04 “Good point, Bit. I started drinking cream (canned milk, actually) at an early age to defend myself against my Mother's really crappy coffee. Over time I just got used to it that way. Funny thing is that when hiking I really like it black.” 8:51:42 AM 12/15/04 “I have to iron today too. Birch is allergic to it. Roam, if I ever have to replace Birch I'm looking for a man who irons. It's an attractive asset. ;) Thank you Snake eyes, but really it's the Dr who needs the luck. I just have to sit there and listen to what he does (I'm dreading that), he has to do it, lol.” 8:59:19 AM 12/15/04 “The only ironing a real man does is 10 minutes on fluff in the dryer. LOL!” 9:02:35 AM 12/15/04 “Ironing, (it sux), but I do it when I have to. I've even been known to iron a woman's clothes, if she asks real nice.” 9:07:17 AM 12/15/04 “When my mother raised her flock (herd?) of 6 boys she only ironed with a 6 pack at hand. Remember, this was long before wash & wear. The longer she ironed, the more glassy her eyes became. Part of me suspects she really loved ironing. I spoke with her on the phone last night. One thing she said was "I really wish I had raised more hell when I was younger". I'm not exactly sure how that could be possible, lol. Sass - who is this "SnakeEyes" to whom you make reference?” 9:12:58 AM 12/15/04 “Good morning! It's way colder in the Southeast than here in Northern CA. We're at 48, headed for 60's. Good luck to both you and the doc, Sass. Hope s/he did burn a finger ironing scrubs this morning.” 9:30:08 AM 12/15/04 “Roam Around, would you please come over and iron my clothes. I'll make you a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch. =) Nimblefoot, some odd fella from Wisconsin who pretends to be two people. Thanks Wannabp. Come to think of it Dr Burk's scrubs are wrinkle free.” 10:15:19 AM 12/15/04 “Milk and sugar are for people who don't like coffee. Black and strong for me, thanks.” bitpusher 8:27:19 AM 12/15/04 HEY.....I like coffee...I just like it WITH milk and sugar!!!!!” 3:15:15 PM 12/15/04 “I've already been to the store and back this morning. Fun. It's a baking and cleaning day here. It's about 45 degrees and cloudy now, with rain this afternoon. I really like cold weather , but it loses a bit of its appeal when damp.” 7:02:19 AM 12/16/04 “morning! I completely overslept!! strong coffee is next...then I'll wake up. :)” 7:05:23 AM 12/16/04 “Aaaaaahhh, Ooooo <stretching>, Good morning.” 7:14:08 AM 12/16/04 Jump to Page << prev
