They are senting Mama home from the hospital this morning.” 8:42:30 AM 1/28/07 “Great news, Stovie....scary time, huh?” 8:52:14 AM 1/28/07 “Great news Stovestomper! The party was a great success. All survived and no permanent damage. I do have quite a bit of scotch tape everywhere (and no fingernails to pick with), but that's not such a big deal. Now we don't have to do this again for several years....maybe a sleepover when she's twelve and then that's it! Today we went out for breakfast w/ the mom-in-law, will go to mom's for dinner and birthday cake and fill in the in-between with lazing around the house hopefully.” 8:54:17 AM 1/28/07 “Good.” 8:54:50 AM 1/28/07 “Good news stovestomper. Does love conquer a knothead dog? I'm ready to strangle it. In or out, make up your mind! 27 here. We had a beauty of a sunny day yesterday. Church then maybe an afternoon on the ski trails. On call next week so can't get out then. Good theme chappy. Ours for the next two weeks is "Leaving the Kingdom of Me". Yikes. That could a challenge! Dogs. Driving me up the wall.” 9:07:55 AM 1/28/07 “Glad to hear about mom, Stovie.....” 9:08:12 AM 1/28/07 “I kinda like it in Latin: Amor vincit omnia (© ~45 BC by Publius Vergilius Maro)” 9:20:56 AM 1/28/07 “I feel like a thousand ton weight is off my chest. Thanks so much friends.” 9:38:14 AM 1/28/07 \ “Temp: 48°F. in Melbourne, Florida, and dropping to about 41°F. tonight and 32°F. tomorrow night. Only one decent day in the past three days and the spell continues. This is our third wintery blast this season. It appears that Florida has not heard about the Climate warming trend, yet. I'm going to start making plans to spend my winters further south. The Republic of Panama sure sounds good to me. My youngest daughter wants me to go there with her for four weeks, but I don't have my new passport, yet. Panama City, Panmaa Today's High: 87º F Today's Low.: 77º F About the same weather for the week.” 1:02:33 AM 1/29/07 “Good morning, Good Morning, Good morning!! -4 degrees F here in Iron Mountain ,Mi.” 3:07:11 AM 1/29/07 “ I've got nothing to say But it's okay --- ” 4:02:26 AM 1/29/07 “Cut a load of wood yesterday. -10 weather cannot compare to the heat generated by cutting your own wood. Today I'm going to get my old truck into Link Bros. (Yes, the Jerky boys) to perform an 8 year old recall on the ignition. Other than that, I think I'll lay out and work on my tan. Summer's comin'.” 5:34:04 AM 1/29/07 “good morning from a nice, warm 9F Wisconsin...since we live halfway up the side of the valley it can be 10 degrees warmer here than at the bottom or at the top...as is the case today... It's gonna be chilly this week but as long as the highs are above -10 it's still warmer than the winter I remember a few years ago. First it rained for about 4 hours late one night then temps plummeted to -20 and never got higher than -10 for 2 weeks...road salt does not work when the temps are below zero...at least it was sunny everyday!” 6:32:27 AM 1/29/07 “19* here. This is one of the few days per year we get in the teens. It's COLD!!!!” 6:33:41 AM 1/29/07 “26 here in East Texas...........and clear as a bell.....kinda cool in my shorts so I guess some hot tea is in order.....and fresh, homemade banana cake my X2 made last night....” 7:03:20 AM 1/29/07 “Morning! One appointment in half an hour, have to make an appointment for an MRI today. The foot isn't any better, just less black and blue. We have a new easy bake oven to play with after the appointment today.” 7:34:09 AM 1/29/07 “more banana bread??????????” 7:35:26 AM 1/29/07 “Ouch, sorry to hear about the MRI. Easy bake's rock. We've had fun with ours.” 7:40:27 AM 1/29/07 “Sugar cookies Chappy. Baked one at a time apparently.” 7:50:44 AM 1/29/07 “Sugar n Spice and everything nice...... ;-)” 7:52:32 AM 1/29/07 “Chance of Snow 30% chance of precipitation 25F now, also the high. I've moved my morning downstairs to control the dog without waking anybody. I am thankful for my wireless laptop!” 8:18:18 AM 1/29/07 “Woke up to 16F here in North Alabama on Keel Mountain. Elevation 1600ft. But, the sun is out !!” 8:53:46 AM 1/29/07 “Hi all, Nothing new to report here. Sunny day in Mid-MI. Cold still, though. Babysitting our neighbor's girls for a short while tonight, so I've got to get the house cleaned up a bit! If only we had an easy bake oven to entertain them....I guess the cats will have to do.” 1:37:00 PM 1/29/07 “16 must have been the number - it was that when I left for work this mornign in Arvada, CO. I too have fond memories of easy bake oven cookies.” 1:39:22 PM 1/29/07 “one cookie at a time? that's some serious delayed gratification.” 1:43:14 PM 1/29/07 “Someone post some GOOD news. TT is bringing me down with all the bad news. I can say I just made my very last House note. I now own my home. I do not owe any more loans. All are paid off.” 1:47:21 PM 1/29/07 “Very cool SS. I hope someday maybe I will have a home to own...” 1:54:40 PM 1/29/07 “I think StoveStomper would love to sell you a great home in the wonderful state of Mississippi.” 2:09:21 PM 1/29/07 “Yeah I bet!!!” 2:09:56 PM 1/29/07 Hugs. “Good morning. 41°F./ 5°C. and dropping. Would have brought the flowers inside, but I don't have any flowers. But I do have a dandy cold. I'm going to have to stay out of the pool hall, the Resource Cafe and the Supermarkets during the winter months. Too many people are inconsiderate and spread their germs. We need sick time for the part-time help in the stores. They need their pay to live, so they go to work no matter how sick they may be. I saw that over and over again, while I was working in a Supermarket. Or else, maybe a surgical mask will guard me from their germs. Better still, this is another good reason to spend my winters in the Rep. of Panama. Have a great day.” 2:21:12 AM 1/30/07 “Morning” 4:09:37 AM 1/30/07 “Good Morning, Camperz! 27°F here on the banks of the Savannah... not expected to fall further, *G*. Keep washing those hands! You don't have to go nuts with it but 2 or 3 times daily really keeps the sniffles at bay... esp if you associate with sickos! I was working at a place where 800 people touched the same doorknob everyday and only caught one cold in two years. (I also opened the door with my FOOT a time or two, LOL)” 4:41:48 AM 1/30/07 “Good plan, Tilt. Around here nasty junk is going around. Now what I do is wash the hands. Then I attempt to remember to have the left hand do door knob, phone, etc. touching duty. The right hand does not. When eating (especially out), I wash the hands first. Then the right hand only actually touches food you eat with your hands. How's that for O/C??? LOL, it seems to at least help keep germs away. However, I have been somewhat stomach problem challenged for the last week, which I believe is due to a prescription that's supposed to knock sinus problems. IF IT'S NOT ONE THING; IT'S ANOTHER! I should complete that in a couple days. Stovey, I hadn't caught this thread in a few days. Glad your mom is better. :-) And Sass, best of luck with that foot! Now for the weather, the prerequisite on this thread: It's 3 out with a windchill of -18. Last night it was near blizzard-ish on one highway with the little bit of light, fluffy snow that had fallen, plus the wind. Have a good one!” 6:17:25 AM 1/30/07 GOOD NEWS...... “It's warmer here, 43 right now and raining all night....I woke up meaning I'm not dead so I can get my tea and crumpets..... My secretary is a sicko too.....I'll avoid her like the plague.......problem is, she won't mind a bit........” 6:29:21 AM 1/30/07 “But does the left know what the right is doing? LOL Yes --- 'obsessive/compulsive! That's the expression I was trying to remember. And don't forget Zaphod Beeblebrox from The Hitchhiker's Guide... When you have three arms you can shrug with two of them and slap your forehead with that third palm... "DUH!" (I forget if he slapped the left or right forehead...)” 6:37:08 AM 1/30/07 “I like orange juice. I drink it, eat oranges like they're going out of season, and wash my hands about 10x a day (at least, more if I'm working)esp after shopping going to school etc, and stay well most of the time. Birch does his best to infect me with boy germs and Abby brings home all kinds of kindergarten goo, including pink eye. I dodge most of it. Posting this probably means I will become sick immediately. Vitamins help too. Not much going today. One client, helping the kiddies with their balance at Abby's class, and grocery shopping. I'll cook today too. Something hot and stew-like I think. It's darn cold out and it's snowing again. =D Up to three inches today. The plan is to go sledding after Birch gets home, if I can get my Sorel boot on. If not I'll stay home and loll about or something. You all have a wonderful day.” 7:21:57 AM 1/30/07 A perfectly good word has been ruined “Sass - when I read your post and, reading fast, came to the word "loll", my first thought was that you mispelled the abbreviation for laughing out loud, lol. I only wash my hands a few times a day and rarely get sick. However, I do visualize myself washing my hands continually. I can't stop. Help.” 7:31:39 AM 1/30/07 “So it's true what "they" say. Visualization helps!” 7:40:20 AM 1/30/07 “Oh no, no laughing involved, unless there's something funny in my book. I have visions of laying on the couch, with feet propped on one armrest, a beer on the coffee table and my new Anthony Bourdain book in front of my face. I'll only move to pick up the beer, drink, and set it back down. There will be an afghan involved and maybe even my new shearling slippers. I might even put the phone next to me so there's no chance I have to move. A dog might squirm it's way onto the couch with me. It will be cozy. But, I'd rather go sledding so in a minute I'll see how the boot fits (have to shovel). Out into the cold!” 7:47:52 AM 1/30/07 “oops. I forgot to check to see if the drive needs to be shoveled. Oh well.” 7:51:46 AM 1/30/07 “Oh yum, Anthony Bourdain! Which one did you get, Sass?” 7:53:03 AM 1/30/07 “The "orange" cold averting plan is going to get very expensive...I have a pump bottle of hand-sanitiser next to the shift in my car...used mostly after exiting Walmart and the grocery store...seems extreme but I do hate colds... I've been washing my hands so much that they're beginning to crack...hands suffer when we hit single digits...I am constantly using Badger Healing balm, various serious hand creams and Vaseline...the later is my favorite...I've used it on my face for years...not everyday, but often... Below zero right now...it's Bill's birthday so I decided to go into work late, wake him from his recliner, and haul him to bed while it was still warm...wouldn't ya know, our heated mattress pad, his side anyway, gave up the ghost as soon as the temps plummeted last week...poor Bill... I was hoping you'd get your "special" week-end, snoeshoe, but if you get lots of the white stuff, well...that might make up for it... I am bummed! while putting clothes away after the laundrymat I notice THREE smartwool socks were missing their matches! that's a lot of $$$ gotta call the laundrymat! Gonna be sunny! Glad I didn't go into work at my normal time so I can see it! Have a good day...” 7:53:45 AM 1/30/07 “Bird Bath is frozen 20ish and clear...lets get some precip in here for fun!!!! Busy day, but gonna have fun.” 7:57:48 AM 1/30/07 “Do your birds get sick when they can't bathe constantly?” 8:20:50 AM 1/30/07 “Get better soon Nowslimmer. Good news. Treebait and I close on our new house tomorrow. Not so good news. We still have to sell the old place. Hopeful news. Our realtor has someone she thinks will make an offer. I won't hold my breath though, I've heard that one before.” 8:28:35 AM 1/30/07 “Keep your fingers crossed, HPM.” 8:29:32 AM 1/30/07 “Anything that can be crossed is. It's getting a little uncomfortable though, I can't feel my toes any more.” 8:32:35 AM 1/30/07 “Don't forget the eyes. Best Anthony Bourdain episode ever: in Paris eating at small neighborhood restaurants and sampling the absinthe.” 9:12:21 AM 1/30/07 “He's always sampling something that makes him feel funny. I got "the Nasty Bits". GREAT NEWS! I have an appointment for my MRI in record time. I go Thursday at 9pm.” 9:14:41 AM 1/30/07 Jump to Page << prev
