Going to go out and measure it then fire up the snow blower.” 7:53:03 AM 3/17/07 Hugs. “Good morning. It sure is wonderful to see all you great people up and around. I miss you on the days that you're not here. Just listened to the weather forecast on WQXR.com. And then I realized, that's in New York, not here in Florida. It always cheers me up. Even though it is a little chilly this morning, it is nicer here. Have yourself a fantastic weekend.” 8:13:29 AM 3/17/07 “Some areas around the Poconos had up to 18 inches.” 8:14:17 AM 3/17/07 “I'm up already! In Baltimore we went from steady rain through sleet to snow and we have a crusty inch. The temperature is 30. Hey Sassafras, I saw the picture of your yard. It looked like a good place for a game of mud football.” 8:26:22 AM 3/17/07 “I've heard a-plenty about the 'White Chistmas', but 'White St. Patrick's Day'? Bing would have a canary!” 10:30:50 AM 3/17/07 “35 and fog, sun is about to break out. High of 55, PC. I may watch WSU play Vanderbilt, then go for a bike ride.” 11:06:43 AM 3/17/07 “MarkO, I can't even get to my birdfeedersw/out sinking a few inches. Bastards from the city haven't been here yet. Bet they show up in three weeks. Hey, BTW....it's officially afternoon. SLAINTE MHATH!” 11:30:45 AM 3/17/07 “I'm in a chipper mood today. It looks like the house is a go. The builder came to my office around 5 yesterday for us to go over number. By 7:30 we had a handshake deal. I'm buying the fullscale plans Monday and he can then go out and tighten the pricing and get bids that folks will stand behind. The number will drift a bit, but not much. I'm pumped.” 11:53:43 AM 3/17/07 “Good News, DH -- ! back atcha, Sass!” 12:15:14 PM 3/17/07 “I should let you do all my negotiating, DH. Sounds like you know what you're doing. Balmy 36, sun shining and snow melting. My little brook is a raging torrent, dumping into the Namekagon, then to the St. Croix, to the Missippi and magical places beyond. I think I'll go pee in it.” 12:56:11 PM 3/17/07 “16 inches at my house Rich.” 12:56:55 PM 3/17/07 “(thanking Fate that I am not in the same watershed as Nimblefoot! VBG)” 1:42:56 PM 3/17/07 “Nimblefoot is shedding water, huh?” 1:48:59 PM 3/17/07 “i'll be "getting up" and off to work soon. i've got five kids at my little two bedroom apt this weekend. my two big boys staying over again, and a young man who is a friend of ErinAnnes and BrianSeans from summercamp. we are bursting at the seams! :O)” 2:12:53 PM 3/17/07 “Cozy!” 3:49:37 PM 3/17/07 “have another just for the day, he's fixing his vehicle, (suspension), in our parking space. everyone loves the ma.” 7:01:25 PM 3/17/07 “Must've done somethin' right, eh? VBG ---” 7:11:27 PM 3/17/07 “Vodka, Bourbon & Gin again? George Thorogood? last edited: 3/17/07 7:30:12 PM” 7:29:40 PM 3/17/07 “No silly, that's one bourbon, one scotch, and one beer 8) BSB? I like John Lee Hooker's version better, btw.” 7:26:55 AM 3/18/07 “28F and cloudy...off to Jacksonville, FL today where it's going to start in the high 60's and climb to the 80's the week I am there...and no mud! trust me, I can live with that! I haven't flown since 9/11...should be interesting...have a good day...” 8:04:32 AM 3/18/07 “Damn! I AM in that greater watershed Nimblefoot is in! Streams around here reached "raging torrent" Tuesday night. I was at a township meeting the the "small" creek beside it... well, I was hoping it didn't wash us away!! Things were much calmer on Wednesday. Now, unless it rains a lot, I think the snow should go off without tons of floods... I theeeenk! Have a good Sunday!” 9:10:34 AM 3/18/07 “Did you pee in it too?” 9:18:04 AM 3/18/07 “Cool for you DH. So Mata, what's in Jax for you? Too bad I've already moved or Treebait and I would have invited you over or something. last edited: 3/18/07 9:20:00 AM” 9:19:23 AM 3/18/07 “Things have dried out nicely here (in a couple of ways, LOL). Ms. Barrymore must've moved on to other pastures. Hopefully all the Irish, near-Irish and Honorary Irish aren't feeling too much pain this AM. I detect more Fun with Furniture in my immediate future... like in 45 minutes. No stairs this time (Woo Hoo).” 9:30:36 AM 3/18/07 “Corned beef and cabbage for us today. Dinner kinda got messed up yesterday, so we had to put it off. Just watching basketball, getting ready to do some schoolwork. Dang, those stinkin' badgers just lost. What's with these teams screwing up my bracket????? Enjoy the rest of the day, all!” 3:41:37 PM 3/18/07 “I'm UP! I got up early this morning and went to church to listen to BrianSean and his band play at two Sunday School services. Then I took 3 kiddos to breakfast. I stayed awake for awhile and then took a nap; but here I am. HELLO!” 7:41:09 PM 3/18/07 “Good morning! Well, I guess we're expecting snow as I woke up and everything was white again. No worries, it'll turn to rain this morning. ARG! Just as the mud dried up! Have a nice Monday.” 7:05:30 AM 3/19/07 “Just waiting for the caffeine to kick in --- !” 7:09:04 AM 3/19/07 Hugs. “Good morning. After all those mornings looking at my wife, you folks look beautiful. These days my computer takes longer to get up than I do. But then it just gets to sit there, through all kinds of abuse. At least I can move around a little. So I'm at the Resource Cafe, enjoying morning coffee and mini-cupcakes, while using one of the computers. Have a great day. last edited: 3/19/07 7:26:49 AM” 7:24:30 AM 3/19/07 “Morning, NS. Where is everyone else? OK for a Monday here. Not too many complaints! Snowing here, not sure why! Doesn't spring show up on Wednesday?” 7:51:04 AM 3/19/07 “Somewhere it does.” 7:52:15 AM 3/19/07 “Mornin'” 10:17:49 AM 3/19/07 “I went for a walk instead of posting. Is that allowed? Coffee before the walk, after the walk and refilled at work. MONDAY!” 10:19:39 AM 3/19/07 “I don't believe we have any rules regarding posting on the Get Up thread. You should be okay Pathman. I can't wait to go for a walk! One more week hopefully.” 11:00:04 AM 3/19/07 “Good morning, I knew I'd be the first one up and posting on this thread at such a early hour.” 1:53:48 AM 3/20/07 “holy cow you're early! i'm just going to bed. night night Rich.” 2:06:54 AM 3/20/07 “morning ;)” 3:04:04 AM 3/20/07 “morning ya'll” 3:24:34 AM 3/20/07 “(rolling over) (covering mouth) Morning!” 5:12:43 AM 3/20/07 “*grumble grumble grumble* ramon noodles for breakfest....... 4 more days till pay day! :) last edited: 3/20/07 5:27:45 AM” 5:23:08 AM 3/20/07 “ o blinding light... o light that blinds... where's my sunglasses? ” 6:14:57 AM 3/20/07 “HELLO AND GOOD MORNING TILT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Coffee? last edited: 3/20/07 6:20:39 AM” 6:20:21 AM 3/20/07 “Yez -- am heading downstairs now for some of that.” 6:57:59 AM 3/20/07 “Don't fall down the stairs, Tilt. Steady............boy! Fengor! It must be like fifteen or sixteen O'clock where you are...............by now.” 7:02:48 AM 3/20/07 “Here... Good Morning. Lots of fun stuff today. Motor Mom's w/ the kindergarteners and then the dreaded Market Day truck. Do you guys all have markey Day in your schools? It's basically overpriced, unhealthy frozen prepared foods that are sold monthly for fund raising. I hate Market Day, refuse to order anything, rarely can even find one item out of hundreds that is priced fairly enough and is healthy enough for us. So I have to unload the truck today. See, those PTA moms, they know I grew up Catholic and will do anything they ask because we don't buy their crap food. I think I'm going to have to put the cast back on for this one. The birds are singing their hearts out. Just a few lumps of snow left on the edges of sidewalks and driveways. Spring might show up here tomorrow. Birch just told me it's supposed to be fifty. Alright, I'm rambling. More coffee. Have a good last day of winter TTers!” 7:03:58 AM 3/20/07 “Its not right that public schools have to hustle sales to raise money. They tried to get my kids to hustle wrapping paper and stuff every year and I refused to have my kids going door-to-door.” 7:10:20 AM 3/20/07 “I generally write a check at fund raising time. If they sold something good I might buy it but the same old crap is still crap. Someone needs to start teaching these teachers how to conserve resources. I remember using last weeks spelling test for this week as a kid, having scrap paper boxes in every room (and using it), etc. Now, entire reams of construction paper get thrown in the trash becasue someone doesn't want to walk next door to put it back on the shelf. And yet, there's not enough money. It's a wonder.” 7:14:00 AM 3/20/07 “75° for a high today. It's the coldest day this week. The rest of the week is 80-82. Spring is on. I like our schools fund raisers. One that they do is a book fair with books that are actually worth buying and fairly priced. Another is that each class has a class project as well as individual projects. You can buy your kids project for something like $1-$5 depending on comoplexity and they silent auction the class project. People and businesses in teh community also offer goods and services for the silent auction. Last school year there was a quilt used as a class project. Each child made a drawing on a particular theme on a patch of cloth. Two mothers took the patches and had them sewn into a quilt. One of the dads is a major league baseball player. The other dad owns a construction company. The quilt wound up going for well over $1000.00 because both the moms had such a sense of ownership over the project.” 7:20:39 AM 3/20/07 “I believe that public education should be fully funded by the public as a shared responsibility. The money should also be spent responsibly by qualified professionals. They do work for us. Market Day?? That sounds like a corporate hustle of bad food.” 7:23:43 AM 3/20/07 Hugs. “Good morning. Give me a break, Sassafras. That poor, delivery guy deserves a little extra. He has to deal with a lot of uncooperative, unappreciative people who don't want to see or help him, and is at risk of a million, young children running around. His only joy is seeing the attractive woman who usually unloads the truck. Have a heart, not a frown. Enjoy your day, folks.” 7:28:26 AM 3/20/07 Jump to Page << prev
