Carpet guys coming today to replace the one room of carpet we have (Abby's). School starts tomorrow and I've got that book down to the last twenty two pages. It's cooooold out there today. Wind is really whipping. You all try and stay warm and have a great weekend!” 4:43:02 AM 1/18/08 Hugs “Good morning. Off and on rain kept me away from hiking this weekend. But it is sure nice to be fuly dressed with only a t-shirt and shorts. That means no jacket or coat, wool hat, etc. Our third brush with winter this year was short and only lasted one day. Florida is great! Enjoy your weekend.” 5:02:33 AM 1/18/08 “Hey! it's above zero here! whazzup?!” 5:23:16 AM 1/18/08 “We're at 18°, 1° w/ wind chill. The kid was wanting to wear her snow pants for the bus ride, lol!” 5:26:48 AM 1/18/08 “ "... I've got that book down to the last twenty two pages."You peeked at the ending! How else could you know how many pages are left? You saw the page number on the last page, while you were peeking! LOL.” 6:22:54 AM 1/18/08 “Good morning, it's pretty nice outside and not that cold. It's supposed to be in the upper 30's today, but the we'll have our coldest weekend this season. We only picked up an inch of snow last night. Seems like we just can't get a decent snowfall yet.” 6:26:07 AM 1/18/08 “28 degrees in Nashville. I feel lazy today. After walkin the dogs and a trip to the gym I may just lounge in front of the tv until work tonight.” 6:28:53 AM 1/18/08 “Morning! I get the prize for first up on Saturday?! It's an oatmeal morning. Going to have to make a big cup of tea before heading out the door. It's as cold as it's been thus far this winter. Not a good day to have to wear scrubs. Thank God for Patagonia capilene! Enjoy your day everyone. Say a prayer for me that I can pass my exam today so I can go on to tomorrow's class!” 3:51:22 AM 1/19/08 “Good morning, good luck with your exam Sass.” 4:29:29 AM 1/19/08 “this thread is up to almost a quarter of a million views” 4:35:58 AM 1/19/08 Hugs. “Yea, and everyone has a different opinion! Good morning. Enjoy your weekend.” 4:39:50 AM 1/19/08 “Minus 17...windchill well below minus 25 Caramel cappuccino is kick-starting my morning...not that I plan to do much...one thing I like about daily, sub-zero temps...WE GOT SUN! I can handle the cold better than I can handle no sun... And, for those of us in the deep freeze...let's not do anything stupid...it's cold out there and it's gonna be cold out there for the next few day...we all remember what living in daily, sub-zero temperatures is like, I hope...keep your battery jumper charged, jumper cables easily accessible, plenty of gas in your car, hat and gloves on and don't forget to drink lots of non-alcoholic liquids...along with your alcoholic ones... GO PACKS!  last edited: 1/19/08 5:40:16 AM” 5:38:27 AM 1/19/08 “That little animation has me laughing, MHH! Dreary grey day, so I'm finishing up painting the persimmon room. Nothing dull about this color!” 7:04:27 AM 1/19/08 “good morning, as sick as i am today i woke up with a smile. totaly stoked about new job. then I heard my babies voice downstairs and it made it even better :)~ now if it snowed I would pee my pants!” 7:09:56 AM 1/19/08 “Way to go Maple!!! I must have missed the news...New Job??? Good morning all...! I am just so happy it is Saturday! And I have no plans...just kinda piddling around the house, getting my 'stuff' in a pile and ready to pack...and waiting for the snow!” 7:16:12 AM 1/19/08 “-20 something or thereabouts. Don't know for sure because a little kid broke my thermometer last fall and now I don't know whether to feel cold or not:( I had a heck of a time with the wood stove this morning; just couldn't get the darn thing started. Yesterday I met the daughter of the people I bought this place from. She gave me some inside scoop on the "thinking" behind some of the weird add-ons. The multitude of small rooms upstairs is because the original owners had 8 kids:) What a place this would have been to raise kids back in the day; a trout filled stream going through the yard and walking distance of the river...plus the hill from hell to slide down in the winter. Have a good day.” 7:36:33 AM 1/19/08 “Nimble that is so awesome! So have you left the little rooms upstairs?” 7:47:54 AM 1/19/08 “We only got flurries. Forecast was 1"-3", of well. Maybe we'll get a real snow before my kids get their drivers licenses.” 7:59:30 AM 1/19/08 “The front yard is covered and it's still coming down. Yea!” 9:03:46 AM 1/19/08 “CG, the little rooms are intact, but only until money and ambition arrive. There won't be 8 little rugrats running around this place during my stewardship.” 9:13:51 AM 1/19/08 “It's all melted now. We had a fun snowball fight for the hour or two it lasted.” 11:10:50 AM 1/19/08 “We've got lots of snow coming down now, and the temperature just keeps on dropping! I think I'm glad I have a bag of rock salt that I use for the koi fishes' water. I may need to put some of that on the driveway.” 11:29:01 AM 1/19/08 “Im up but going back to bed. fo some odd reason I have a headache!” 11:54:36 AM 1/19/08 Good Morning “Been up for two hours now, went to bed early. Coffee's gone and now for a little walk around town to see who's stirring.....maybe a look in the post office to get some mail. Have a nice cool morning. It's 23 here with a wind chill of 19...brrrr. We'll see who all shows up for church today...football you know.....” 3:51:32 AM 1/20/08 “maybe a look in the post office to get some mail hey dork, its sunday!” 4:17:27 AM 1/20/08 Hugs. “Good morning. Boy, but do I feel old today. No, it's not the aches and pains. It's when people younger than me, like Suzanne Pleshette, die of old age! A lot of strong storms moved across Florida yesterday evening. Melbourne received some of the rain, but the storms with high winds, like 50 mph, missed us. Enjoy your day.” 4:30:03 AM 1/20/08 drugs “not hugs” 4:38:31 AM 1/20/08 No, Crash Bang! “I would rather have hugs than drugs any day.” 4:44:36 AM 1/20/08 “Dork? How bout I kick you in the nutz...LOL. Actually, I didnt go to the PO yesterday so I was gonna check it out today.....got a problem with that? >8P” 4:47:12 AM 1/20/08 bugs “not hugs” 5:01:48 AM 1/20/08 PUGS “NOT BUGS  ”5:05:55 AM 1/20/08 “Jugs not bugs. Coffee's done and the wood fire is cranked up. Good day to take the Christmas tree down. Anyone notice the sun stays up a little longer each day? It's a good thing. That 1:00 pm sunset in Alaska was always a bummer.” 5:07:28 AM 1/20/08 TUGS “not Pugs....  ”5:13:42 AM 1/20/08 “crash bang - Many Post Offices provide access to the P.O. Boxes 24/7, even in Panama City, Panama, where I still have a box. It's number is the same as the year in which I first went to Panama. I couldn't bring myself to give it up, so it is now used by my Panamanian family.” 5:14:41 AM 1/20/08 “O yea, thats true. ive been in krazy corea for so long now, i forgot how things work” 5:17:25 AM 1/20/08 “Just finished a backpacking breakfast, grits and 20 Oz. of straight coffee. Crash Bang - Are you eating good and are you eating any of the local things? I remember developing a liking for sea weed wafers, while in Japan.” 5:35:10 AM 1/20/08 “i eat local stuff usually when i go out with the group. they know whats good to order. anyways, the good stuff you have to order as a group anyways, since the good restaurants serve you family style” 5:38:54 AM 1/20/08 “had shabu shabu the other night. good, not as good as gelbi, tho. the fried chicken in korea is phenomenal!” 5:43:23 AM 1/20/08 Hey Crash!! “What going on? Know anything about Garden of the Gods?” 5:46:41 AM 1/20/08 “yea. check the indiana thread” 5:47:34 AM 1/20/08 “crash bang - Thanks for the reminder of Genghis Khan! That was interesting. Do any of the restaurants have you cook your own Shabu-shabu at the table?” 5:59:36 AM 1/20/08 “the one we go to does” 6:03:38 AM 1/20/08 “It was -18 when I woke up this morning...I've been up for hours...I'm trying to wean myself from the computer first thing in the morning... I'm planning to enjoy the day knitting, listening to the radio and waiting for the Green Bay game...  I love my remote car starter...just thought I'd mention that...when it's THIS cold, and my block heater no longer works, I start it up daily...Bill has to jump his truck every morning...even with a new battery...there is a leak somewhere but 3 mechanics in 3 different shops have been able to find out where...frustrating... plus, his much-looked-forward-to first vacation in 15 years (to visit a friend in California then drive to the friend's place in Baja), due to begin in 8 days, was put off for a month...he is SO BUMMED! he hates winter and really, really wanted to get out of here... Hey crash, do they serve chicken feet at the movies in Korea like they do in Hong Kong? Bright red and crunchy...yum...LOL...” 8:13:17 AM 1/20/08 “Mataharihiker - Can I go with you two? I just love Baja!” 8:19:15 AM 1/20/08 “KFC --- Korean Fried Chicken.” 8:37:19 AM 1/20/08 “Nowslimmer, Bill was going alone and I was staying here to guard the fort...this was fine by me although I've never been to Baja...” 8:41:40 AM 1/20/08 “If I wasn't going I'd say Bajahumbug.” 8:47:22 AM 1/20/08 “Thanks for the reminder NF. I've still a wreath camouflaging the front door I need to paint -----” 8:54:13 AM 1/20/08 “20 this morning. Yikes. It's supposed to be near 50 today though. I have to go to Buffalo, NY Wed night and come back Thur. The high on Thur is 17. That'll be some real cold.” 3:43:50 AM 1/21/08 “Morning all....it's 35 here and the sun is rising pinkish.......think I'll finish the coffee off and head for the park....l8trzzz” 5:10:47 AM 1/21/08 Jump to Page << prev
