I knew it would be here too soon :-( The good news is it is a short week...let's hope the boss isn't a Scrooge & has some cheer to spare.” 3:15:14 AM 12/20/10 “Morning everyone. I've got a cold. HPM's got a cold. Laurel just got over hers, and now one of the cats has the cold. Yes, cats can catch cold viruses. I had to listen to congestion related snoring (HPM) and sneezing (Smokey) all night. Alas, the humidifier didn't help all that much last night either. I think it needs more salt to push out more steam. Yay, time to clean the house in anticipation of the relatives visiting for several days. Fun. Hope they colds. ;D” 3:44:44 AM 12/20/10 “Stupid edit feature. That's "I hope they like colds."” 3:45:26 AM 12/20/10 “We get about two weekends a year when the weather is nasty. This was one - temps in the 50's, raining continuously. Had to contend with flooded creeks & mudslides on the drive to work. On the bright side, I need to go ahead and plan a ski weekend.” 6:49:11 AM 12/20/10 “I love it when Tuesdays are Wednesdays. That means that Wed is Thursday ...Thursday is Friday...YIPPIE...and hopefully it will on be a short day! It is a slow morning...rainy out. Sigh...hopefully I'll perk up..need a cup of tea, that may help. Treebait how you all are feeling better...don't want anyone sick on Christmas.” 3:25:25 AM 12/21/10 “I don't mind being sick on Christmas but by golly everyone else will have to put up with it! HPM has this cold in a really bad way now. Poor thing. At least people will leave him alone to work, rather than drag him into more all day meetings, cramped together in a small room with him hacking up goo all the time!” 3:46:11 AM 12/21/10 “Oh that is a good thing....I wouldnt want his goo ;-)” 4:05:52 AM 12/21/10 “May I share some good news here? I got my exam results back. No, I didn't ace them, but I passed with good results. Yesterday I was send the certificate and the results. Meanwhile I am able to feel some happiness and a little bit of achievment over having done the course and passing the exam. Good or not? :-)” 10:56:22 AM 12/22/10 “Applause to you, well done Euro (Trubrit) I got blocked LOL” 10:59:10 AM 12/22/10 “Congrats. I guess a ban isn't really a ban, is it TruBrit?...uhm, I mean The Laird” 11:08:31 AM 12/22/10 “You shouldn't play with the bad kids. You're too easily provoked and end up banned. You should try Zen, to calm your spirit and break the circle of negative adherences that will get you in trouble.” 11:56:46 AM 12/22/10 Trubrit “OMG... How did you get blocked?” 12:01:27 PM 12/22/10 “HAHA...Too funny...is HPD still around???” 12:25:20 PM 12/22/10 “Oh for Pete's sake!!! @#()*(@)#*)(*” 12:33:30 PM 12/22/10 “We're doing the mad flail to clean the house before Christmas today. Well, as much as we can while rather sick. :D” 6:59:22 AM 12/23/10 “I have to clean the bathroom, make 1 bed and grocery shop sometime between now and Sunday afternoon...” 7:05:34 AM 12/23/10 “Please leave the FUEGO off THIS thread, the one thread on TT where people are decent to each other.” 7:27:48 AM 12/23/10 “Treebait, we're doing the same thing, sans the sickness. We have to leave at 3PM to go to a family thing, though half the family will be missing. I may be drinking heavily tonight to make it through. Plenty of cooking to do, too. Laundry, grocery shopping, etc. I love Christmas!!!” 7:35:52 AM 12/23/10 “I just watched alpine glow on a cloud bank over the ocean while the sun rose. Even had the blue shadow of a mountain. Took a picture on my phone. It doesn't do justice, but what the heck?  Reminded me of this:  ”7:38:08 AM 12/23/10 “beautiful Toejam Stovie...I never got the make up email :-( Lunch at work today & hopefully we will be out of here by 2. I am afraid I have a Christmas cold. I have an ear ache & swollen glands...this really sucks!!” 7:53:50 AM 12/23/10 “Am I not supposed to be asleep? I mean seriously...day off and I am awake at 6am!!! Geez! Oh well lots to do today so I guess I should get busy with it. Merry Christmas Eve My Friends” 4:12:33 AM 12/24/10 “Merry Christmas to you all.” 4:20:08 AM 12/24/10 “Morning! Up until 2 am, woke up at 4 am when HPM started coughing again (I slept in the guest room ;P)and out of bed before 8, although I spent much of the hours between 4 and 8 pretending to be asleep. Coffee's been chugged in 3 gulps, it's a quick breakfast then off to the races. I just checked on the ham I bought for tomorrow; the wrapper for it is puffed up and tight as a balloon. Guess I'm not using that one. It's a $30 ham, so I guess back it goes. I don't know about the return policy on this bad boy.” 5:37:58 AM 12/24/10 “Good morning all We are headed down to Louisiana on a roadtrip today Looks like it will be a beautiful day” 5:42:48 AM 12/24/10 “Good day for a road trip, Chili. I've got HPM, sick as he is, cleaning. He really wants to get out on his bike because the weather will suck for the next few days, and my parents will be here. Hell, I may take his bike out for a spin, all things considered.” 9:43:20 AM 12/24/10 “ho ho ho” 5:46:51 PM 12/25/10 “Past my bedtime at this point (in my opinion) and everyone is still downstairs, watching 5TH Element on the ol' blue ray. We've got a few inches of snow now, and it's still coming down!” 6:11:57 PM 12/25/10 “I LOVE that movie...” 9:26:52 PM 12/25/10 “Hmm, nothing here besides some old souses. LOL. last edited: 12/26/10 12:55:28 AM” 12:53:27 AM 12/26/10 “Hey nowslimmer, what have you been up to?” 2:04:27 AM 12/26/10 “Morning, everyone It's a gloriously beautiful snowy morning and it's still coming down! The only problem are the 2 bitter toxic people sitting down in my living room who have no idea what they are and how they act. Sad.” 5:54:53 AM 12/26/10 “http://www.nature.nps.gov/air/webcams/parks/macacam/macacam.cfm Looks like someone put a snowman in front of the mammoth cave webcam.” 6:06:23 AM 12/26/10 “This Christmas went by quite peacfully. No wonder, we haven't had to deal with the one toxic person in our family that makes it bitter for everybody else. Good luck treebait.” 7:18:39 AM 12/26/10 “Good grieve! Some people are so toxic that they ruin an evening even when they are not there at all. Quick, I must finish the bottle of eggnog I got for christmas. I need to get drunk so I won't be able to start a fight, storm out of the house and drive back home in the middle of a freezing night.” 10:51:09 AM 12/26/10 “Euro hike - ('m just trying to get past the holidays and to watch Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl. My time is devoted to memories and writing my biography. I have a couple more stories ready to print, but I'm leary of doing it here since I consider both of them as "X" rated. I enjoy writing some of the happiest parts first. And I enjoy the posted comments as they help me in the writing.” 1:04:12 PM 12/26/10 “Getting up and ready for work after a three day holiday sux. At least I am working three half days and taking off two this week Have to burn up the vacation days.” 3:55:18 AM 12/27/10 “Just got word that work is called off! THANK GOODNESS...what were they thinking anyway???? I need to try and get in to see the doc anyway...I'm afraid this is either strep or tonsillitis :-( I need something one way or the other.” 4:43:43 AM 12/27/10 “I'm off to work. Misery loves company. Don't know how much company I'll have at work. Maybe I'll have another one of those incredible sunrises. Hope you feel better soon, cg.” 5:28:52 AM 12/27/10 “Sounds kind of like what's going around here, CG. Then again, you're not far away! HPM had to go in today, alas. He helped to create the UX director position in the company he works for, and he still has to do a series of interviews and presentations for the job. Go figure. It's 22 here this morning, and my parents can't pi$$ and moan about it enough. Can't wait until they find out what tonight's temperature will be. Somewhere around 13.” 5:31:47 AM 12/27/10 “Nowslimmer, I know a few other people who are trying to get past the holidays :-) I was wondering if there will be a sequel to the story you already posted so far.” 6:14:48 AM 12/27/10 “Euro hike - Yes, I think I will post another part of my life's adventure to see what happens.” 7:18:53 AM 12/27/10 “Hey Paul, you ought to have the "clean version" published now, and the "more interesting version" published after you go, so no one can hunt you down and smack you! ;D” 4:24:44 PM 12/27/10 “42° this morning. Mud season has come early to MI. The puppy does NOT like getting his feet wet. Ever seen a dog w/ a dachshund's stature tip toe? No plans for tonight. We have a babysitter and a bunch of really lame pals. Thinking about going and buying Settlers of cataan. Anyone play?” 5:29:19 AM 12/31/10 “Morning. We have lots of mud here, too, Sass. We plan on letting Laurel stay up for New Years, but that's about it. I haven't heard of "Settlers of Cataan" before.” 7:13:11 AM 12/31/10 “My sweetie is home. Life is good. :)” 7:14:14 AM 12/31/10 “tree, its a strategy game that has won tons of international game awards. looks interesting. costs $43!!” 8:10:24 AM 12/31/10 “I think its about 75 in Jackson today...hot and humid...yuck! may as well be July..” 8:24:04 AM 12/31/10 “So does the forum software not recognize the new year? Yesterday started early as we tried to get on the road before the traffic got bad. But it never got bad. Everybody took the day off I guess. Then I went for a run and had to pass on the first location because it was too crowded. All those people not plugging up the roads going to work were hitting the trails. I must be in California. Supposed to rain all day. I'm tired of it.” 9:17:37 AM 1/01/11 “what a way to start the new year--all my beautiful snow has melted!!” 11:25:35 AM 1/01/11 “Afternoon. WE spent part of the morning on a hike at Rural Hill farm, which is all things Scottish, and did the "First Footin'" hike around the perimeter of the property, followed by a lunch of "stone soup" and all the goodies people brought. It was fun, and tasty.” 11:32:23 AM 1/01/11 Jump to Page << prev
