I put some old, grated cheddar cheese in this monrnings omelet and now my omlette tastes like stale cheese...ick..at least the coffee it hot and good... returning to work after 13 days off...between going to Florida and Thanksgiving I've been gone awhile...at least I feel much better today than I did yesterday...I'm almost looking forward to it... Have a good day!” 3:07:14 AM 11/27/07 “Good morning, Matahari thanks for the tips. In camp I just used my stove to heat things up, the problem was out on the trail. I should have made better use out of the insulated pouches I brought. The last day I didn't bother to heat anything up in the morning and that's when I ran into problems.” 3:23:49 AM 11/27/07 “Good morning. 9 above this morning and one of my windows flung open during the night. I was stoking the fire this morning and wondering "why am I feeling this huge cold draft"? Somehow the window next to the stove got unlatched and flung itself open. This is an old house (old, but not Nowslimmer old), but haunted too? Think I'll click a couple of fuego threads and see if it warms the place up:)” 4:07:00 AM 11/27/07 “I thought you said, "stroking the fire" at first. I though, "Well I've never heard it called that before.".” 4:12:58 AM 11/27/07 “Reminds me of when I first started posting here; I couldn't get my bifocals to line up properly and thought your trail name was the "N" word.” 4:35:39 AM 11/27/07 “Good morning! This morning is my interview and trial massage for the school of oncology massage I want to attend. Cross your fingers for me at 10am, please. After that I get to call that kid's insurance company and start that ball rolling. Yuck. Cold here too, but not nearly that cold, Nimble and Mata! You guys have any snow yet? Have a good day everyone.” 4:51:17 AM 11/27/07 “Good morning every one ...another cold morning,but we missed the promised freezing rain ...so that made the morning drive a lot easier ..Getting ready tonight for my weekend at the Pinery..it`s been a while since I`ve camped in cold weather,definitely looking forward to it !” 5:17:26 AM 11/27/07 “Morning. Off to MOPS this morning, and then Evie gets her picture taken this afternoon. I hope she isn't cranky!!! Still a bit of snow on the ground from yesterday, but it'll melt off quick enough. Scattered flurries most of this week.” 5:20:15 AM 11/27/07 GOOD MORNING ALL......... “what? too loud? Its the coffee, I'm wide awake now........beautiful outside at 37 degrees with the sun and a really colorful sunrise. Good day for a walk in the woods after a bit of office time. I said a 'bit'.......” 5:30:55 AM 11/27/07 Nimblefoot “If you'd feed them damn squirrels they wouldn't have to break into the place......” 5:34:20 AM 11/27/07 “top of the mornin' to ya'.... 45* here in Charlotte, sunny as it could be.... beautiful day to work...” 5:35:04 AM 11/27/07 Nuts. “Good something.” 10:33:11 PM 11/27/07 “ditto. Cold...but at least the window's not open:) I'm up to "stroke the fire", as Nigal puts it, 55 in here at the moment.” 11:57:19 PM 11/27/07 “ah... good morning to all... 4:58am. charlotte, nc. about to go work out at the gym.... about 30* here right now...” 1:59:10 AM 11/28/07 “Good morning...I got yesterday's temps wrong...it was actually MINUS 6, not plus six...and, what a difference a day makes...23F with some flurries in the forecast...I wish we would get a decent snowfall...it looks so much nicer when it's white and feels more seasonally appropriate...on the other hand, it's much nicer driving to work when snow and ice are not an issue.. made today's omelet with fresh cheese...so much better than yesterday's...” 3:06:13 AM 11/28/07 “Morning here in D'Field...it's 37 and I'm headed to the park to walk some trail, pray, prepare and generally to meditate about the missionary coming this afternoon to speak to the kids and show us a video about his work in Africa. But first, some coffee.....then out...” 4:26:25 AM 11/28/07 “I am up but i am going back to bed. just got home from the ER with our daughter. pretty bad asthma attack. long night :( but she is fine and sleeping like a baby. night night” 4:34:51 AM 11/28/07 “sorry to hear, Mapes, I'll say a prayer out there for her this morning....” 4:36:12 AM 11/28/07 “Winters can sure be rough. The temperature dropped to about 70 last night.” 4:36:47 AM 11/28/07 “Hope Twignut is doing well maple. ERs are the worst. Nimblefoot, 55° isn't too bad for a big old house first thing in the am. Ours usually tops out at 71-72° (in the furthest area from the stove), at the end of the day. In the morning it's around 60°.” 4:41:38 AM 11/28/07 “Morning all. Gah, it's almost December. I demand a rewind of at least a month.” 6:08:00 AM 11/28/07 “Morning. I'm up and at 'em.” 6:18:11 AM 11/28/07 “I put this on the scouting thread but thought I'd stick it here too: Last night was Cub Scouts. The kids had to show a collection and tell about it. My son did leaves. Another kid did sea shells. The teacher says, "Boys, where do you have shells? Are shells on mountains?" Everyone in the class goes, "Noooo." I simultaneously said, "Yessss." She turns and says really? I explained. Later they're passing the shells for the individual kids to see and I point to a shell and am explaining to Reece that the little mini-shell pieces hanging to this one shell are called barnacles. I said it too loud because the teacher then asks what barnacles are. I explain. I felt like I was in 12th grade and was the class nerd all over again. I have to learn to keep my mouth shut.”” 6:27:37 AM 11/28/07 “Nerdie, nerdie, nerdie:)” 7:01:57 AM 11/28/07 “Naw, she was probably glad to learn a thing or two.” 7:02:39 AM 11/28/07 “So I wake up and my wife is in the living room reading a book......at 3:30am......go figure....coffee pot just got done and I'm starting my day after lying in bed since 3:30am........so much for going to bed a bit too early?....i suppose.....” 2:54:13 AM 11/29/07 “windchill below zero...br-r-r-r-r...temps still dropping...5 out there right now...I am so glad I have a remote car starter! and hot coffee!” 3:29:34 AM 11/29/07 “I'm up....barely. Mata...that is tooo cold you need to come south!!! Hope everyone has a great day!!!” 3:39:48 AM 11/29/07 “I'm up....barely. Mata...that is tooo cold you need to come south!!! Hope everyone has a great day!!!” 3:39:49 AM 11/29/07 “is there an echo in here?” 4:11:41 AM 11/29/07 “Good morning. Today is the dreaded refrigerator clean out day. I hate cleaning the fridge. Then some work this evening. I'd pay good money for someone else to do my work today. Someone should start a fridge cleaning business. Have a good one..” 4:49:14 AM 11/29/07 “If you stock it with good beerzzzz I'll come clean it out for ya......” 4:50:47 AM 11/29/07 Hugs. “Good morning.” 5:09:35 AM 11/29/07 “Deal! What kinda beer do you want and when will you be here? I've already done the worst part (grinding up the left-overs that are way leftover).” 5:46:56 AM 11/29/07 “Sass, you mean wiping down the shelves and such? I hate doing that too. Morning. VERY windy here. I don't know what the temp is, though. Evie is going crazy this morning with squeals and smiles. She's been a great night sleeper lately, so I'm actually feeling human! I think our big adventure today will be to Walmart. Whoo-hoo! Have a good one, folks!” 6:46:47 AM 11/29/07 “Today sucks. That's all there is to it.” 7:03:57 AM 11/29/07 “Actually I had to take all the shelves and bins out and wash them. There was a flip-top bottle of tomato juice that got knocked over and spilled (of course from the top shelf), and was everywhere. It's done now. I feel much better.” 7:10:04 AM 11/29/07 “Sounds like my fridge Sass. Something on the top shelf spills and the supposedly leak-proof shelves aren't, so the gunk goes everywhere. I have to clean the fridge soon too. Heck, I'd rather leave the darn thing on the curb.” 7:51:56 AM 11/29/07 “Cleaning the Fridge is on a repugnant par with cleaning the bathroom.” 7:54:53 AM 11/29/07 “I'd rather clean the bathroom. I just hose it with disinfectant before I have to wipe anything down. Preemptive strike, you know.” 7:56:23 AM 11/29/07 “Speaking of cleaning the bathroom...the floor was christened so to speak Mon night. Emma yacked on the tile floor. That stuff wipes right off of vinyl tile which is what we had at the other place. The solids tend to cling to the grout in between the tiles at the new place.” 8:12:47 AM 11/29/07 “gee, that's interesting finding that out........ 8-O” 9:00:23 AM 11/29/07 “I just knew everyone would want those details.” 9:06:54 AM 11/29/07 “Two words, unsanded grout” 9:16:32 AM 11/29/07 “That's what they used.” 9:32:52 AM 11/29/07 “two words: Grout sealer.” 9:44:22 AM 11/29/07 Jump to Page << prev
