Abandoning your mom and at Christmas no less ;) Christmas at Yellowstone sounds way cool, btw. last edited: 2/04/08 12:38:37 PM” 12:34:23 PM 2/04/08 “It sounds awesome! She'll get over it eventually. Roseymonster, they don't have the toe picks that figure skates do, which makes it harder to get going and stop.” 1:32:51 PM 2/04/08 “ Thank Gawd It's Tuesday! ” 9:27:07 PM 2/04/08 “Good morning Is anyone else as sick of all the political bs as I am? I lost my entire iTunes Library somehow...it's going to take an entire week-end to get all those songs back on my iPod...next time I'll back it up on a CD...now that I know how...another learning experience. Off to work today...we're having one of our infamous pot-lucks so they'll be plenty of food this week in case I forget my lunch, like I did last week... Enjoy the day..” 3:01:42 AM 2/05/08 “Mata sorry about your tunes...that really stinks! I'm awake..starting to feel better, those you that have traveled how long does it normally take to get over Montazooma's Revenge? I started on Thursday...I'm ok if I don't eat! :-(” 4:05:26 AM 2/05/08 “You have to eat!” 4:07:57 AM 2/05/08 “I'm sick of it too. The primary is today in AL and I must admit I don't know who I want to vote for. None of them appeal to me.” 4:15:20 AM 2/05/08 “Happy Paczki day! I've got a raspberry filled one for breakfast. I was sick of the calls to the house before our primary, but I love the debates and the polls and watching the primary results. You guys will probably think we're weird but Birch and I act like the primarys are the superbowl or something. We get beer, I make snacks and we play cribbage while watching the votes come in. Okay, after rereading that I even think were weird! =) It's fun. Enjoy your fat Tuesday everyone.” 4:27:43 AM 2/05/08 “We're having a Fat Tuesday meal at church tonight. I'm breaking out the Mardi Gras beads for sure.” 4:42:11 AM 2/05/08 “Good morning, it's going to rain for the next couple of days and it's warm outside. It's supposed to be 50 today and tomorrow. That will get rid of all the ice around. I have to go over to the local hospital for some tests. I don't like that hospital so I'm not looking forward to that. CG, I hope you feel better soon. I don't know how long to takes to get rid of that. They say to try to avoid caffeine, milk products, and foods that are greasy, high in fiber, or very sweet. Drink enough water so you don't get dehydrated. Soft, bland foods might help, bananas, boiled potatoes, rice, toast, crackers, etc.” 4:52:13 AM 2/05/08 Hugs. “Good morning. Please hold that smile a minute. I want to go get a camera! Sunshine and warm, t-shirt weather, existing here in Melbourne, Florida, again Have a great day.” 4:55:17 AM 2/05/08 “Thanks Rich...I'm drinking Gatorade and water...trying to avoid coffee and soda but I need my fix! LOL” 5:02:05 AM 2/05/08 “Accelerating the primary schedule had some strange side effects: more politics during Christmas, political ads during the Super Bowl telecast, etc. Now it's Mardi Gras but there are no alcohol sales until the polls close. No Fat Tuesday Happy Hour! You know the bar owners are overjoyed ----” 5:04:53 AM 2/05/08 “No alcohol sales til the polls close, are you serious? I've never heard that before.” 5:06:36 AM 2/05/08 “good morning all.........Fat Tuesday......warm and rainy here.........time to get ready for the office (my car) and visit the shut-ins and take them communion.............have a great day....blessings..........” 5:10:43 AM 2/05/08 “I think they still keep the pool tables covered up on Sunday, too.” 8:42:12 AM 2/05/08 “Good morning! Is everyone sleeping in today?” 4:29:31 AM 2/06/08 “Good morning, I've been up for an hour and woke up to lightening and thunder this morning. There's a flood watch because of all the rain from yesterday and what is expected to fall today.” 4:40:08 AM 2/06/08 “I'm up. Just sent Evie to daycare. I'm home with the stomach flu, and can't take care of her between visits to the bathroom. I haven't eaten in two days and have no energy. Hope I feel better today because I'm supposed to start work tomorrow. It'll be weird to not have her here today. We were supposed to get 6-10 inches of snow last night/today. They changed the forecast overnight and now we're only gonna get 2-4 total. Things would have worked out find if it had been a snow day. Sass, congrats on the job! I've been thinking about you! I think its easier to skate on hockey skates. Those darned toe picks get in the way sometimes, and become a hinderence in learning to skate properly sometimes. I learned on figure skates, but have had only hockey skates since college. Have a good day, I plan to sleep all day.” 4:48:15 AM 2/06/08 “Tornado Watches/Warnings heading this way.... Not surprising as warm as it's been. Yesterday's 79 broke the previous record by 9 degrees. Expected high of 74 for today. This is February??” 4:55:08 AM 2/06/08 “Lots of rain here and storms. It was hot here yesterday like it was for Tilt. Tornado warnings all around. Yikes.” 5:01:20 AM 2/06/08 “Morning...it was 77 yesterday, this morning it is 33....had a good storm yesterday when the front blew in, hail/rain.....now its clear and sunny and cold, very agreeable......blessings all....peace......” 5:29:33 AM 2/06/08 “Keep your head down DH!” 5:37:32 AM 2/06/08 “Same to you. Talladega Cty (racetrack) borders my county and got hit pretty hard a bit ago. The storm line seemed to go about 5 miles south of town. It's calm here now. I wish I hadn't worn short sleeves today, the temp is about to drop just like it did for chappy.” 5:50:04 AM 2/06/08 “Good morning. Cat's in heat, but I did get an appointment for her to be spayed. Decided against the declawing because she's not been scratching furniture and she will likely want to be outside when the temp warms a little. The wood pile next to the house is shrinking rapidly; soon I'll have to start carrying it up the hill from the garage. Not looking forward to it, but it will provide some forced exercise. I came up with a great idea for inside storage next year. There's a small computer room on the north side of my house, immediately adjacent to the den with the wood stove. I'll knock out the plaster walls, replace them with rough sawn lumber, put in a back door and have a wood room. The wood pile will then be moved from the front to the back of the property. Both efficient and more cosmetically appealing. Knocked out some walls this weekend, plaster, lath , dust and old poop (bigger than a deer) all over the place. It's all cleaned up and the lath is great kindling. I'm starting to make a little progress and it feels good.” 5:56:01 AM 2/06/08 “good luck with the job interview Sass, and hope you feel better by tomorrow smiley... I learned on figure skates, but switched to hockey skates as an adult. I missed the toe pick at first, but I didn't miss the narrow boot of figure skates. I used to skate okay as a kid (ice and roller) but now I can hardly stand up! LOL...it does get better as I skate for a while, but still... It doesn't help that I worry about falling on my knee again...that thing hasn't been right since I fell hard on it last February...” 5:57:43 AM 2/06/08 “NF, I have the feeling the room you're turning into a wood room was already that in a previous incarnation. I now have 3 frogs (2 kinds judging by the calls) going crazy out in the yard. I think we'll have an early spring, which I don't mind as long as we get lots of rain, especially further up the Catawba river valley. It's 9:30, and I already have Laurel's bed sheets washed, dried, and remade. I guess the spring cleaning bug hit me, because I've been tearing apart the pantry looking for old/ "why the heck did I buy this?" kind of stuff and dumping it. I have those wire closet maid shelves in there and they aren't properly installed, i.e. they're already pulling out. I may measure the pantry and go get some nice steel shelves, or something like that today.” 6:33:22 AM 2/06/08 “TB, no. It's just my brilliance. They added it on as a sewing room. Since I don't sew I used it as a computer room. Being directly adjacent to the stove, it makes sense to use it for wood storage. Not much work for the conversion, convert a window to a door and put some rough wood on the walls. I'm tellin' ya, I'm a genius:)” 8:33:49 AM 2/06/08 “He's a freakin' Einstein --- Ever think of running for office?” 8:44:50 AM 2/06/08 “I think you guys could give Mr. Hyde and Bowlderman a run for their money.” 8:47:01 AM 2/06/08 “I dunno, that cat is a tough customer.” 8:49:12 AM 2/06/08 “That's what I was thinking. Let the cats duke it out.... long distance, of course. They could be your political pitbulls, (aHem). Mr. Hyde would have a slight edge, already knowing how to type....” 8:54:19 AM 2/06/08 “I've been up for 2 hours - nursed Evie, then had more mudbutt! I thought I was over this! UG! At least its a snow day. 16" of the white stuff yesterday, and some mighty powerful winds. I'll take some pics when the sun comes up. It was supposed to be my first day back to work. I'm glad I have another day to recover from this nastyness.” 1:58:14 AM 2/07/08 “That's a heck of a first sentence there, Sg. It sorta covers the gamut. Hope you feel better soon:) Tilt, Nutmeg says that being currently in heat she'd run as a democrat, ala Bill Clinton. Once neutered she'd be in Congress.” 2:14:37 AM 2/07/08 “Good morning...got cold again...5F right now..I eat weird...fried egg on top of tiny round pasta covered with alfredo sauce... Hope you feel better soon, SmileyGirl...that was quite a first sentence... The Gaggia expresso machine I ordered in Dec was backordered, again, until May so I was forced, forced mind you, to upgrade to a Gaggia Baby Twin that shipped and is due today...since I have to get up at 3am Friday to go to work at 4am, I won't get to play with it until Friday afternoon... Woke up without the alarm this morning...I always feel like I got enough sleep when I do that... To all of us who quit or are quitting smoking...HOORAY! [b]” 3:41:37 AM 2/07/08 “good morning to you all! TGIT yup today is my Friday. mata noone should b made to wait for coffee!! give them he!! oh well i am off you play with the new crop of puppies that came into the shleter last night have a great day all :)~” 3:45:56 AM 2/07/08 “i'm here ...barely!” 3:58:58 AM 2/07/08 Hugs. “Good morning. “i'm here ...barely!â€Hmmm. I'd love to see you anytime ...barely! It's another great day in Melbourne, Florida.  There is a chance of thunderstorms with lots of rain, but a high of 82°F. is forecast plus some sunshine. In fact, the sun just broke through the clouds as I was typing the word "sunshine." So it's over to the Resource Cafe on my bicycle. Enjoy your day, everyone. last edited: 2/07/08 5:02:09 AM” 4:58:00 AM 2/07/08 “Oh, I think Nutmeg is up to the challenge, whichever branch of gov't she lands on. Glad you got your snow day, SG --- ! Watch out for the Bait & Switch on those espresso doodads, Mata!” 6:50:54 AM 2/07/08 “Good morning! Had an early doctors appointment to get all the gears, pipes, and the pump checked out. All a-ok for another year. It was an adventure getting there through the snow and ice. We're back to a winter wonderland. Much better than mud and rain! Sledding is on the agenda for this afternoon. Have a good Thursday everyone!” 7:22:08 AM 2/07/08 “NS...you are such a sweetheart! Thank you!!! I just can't seem to get it back together.” 7:25:38 AM 2/07/08 “Back to Reality (such as it is).” 7:31:06 AM 2/07/08 “Reality stinks” 7:35:09 AM 2/07/08 “crazygurl - I'd love to help you. I know where all the parts go and how to handle them tenderly with loving care!” 7:37:23 AM 2/07/08 “SLIMMER!!!! (blushing)” 7:40:09 AM 2/07/08 “esh! nowslimmer, when crazygurl was in 4th grade, you were like FIFTY dude.” 7:43:43 AM 2/07/08 “Wake up, Sarge! In case you haven't noticed, she's no longer in 4th grade. She has advanced to FIRST GRADE!” 7:50:53 AM 2/07/08 “Crazygurl was fifty and still in the fourth grade?” 7:54:12 AM 2/07/08 “WAIT...I'm not 50 YET! But there are days I wonder if I'm still in 4th grade!! Was easier to chase the boys then, too! LOL” 7:57:01 AM 2/07/08 Jump to Page << prev
