Christmas Countdown - 2008

[Crown 84]

Ah!
There's no doubt the cold can get you down over time.
It works on you at both a physical and psychological level.
For me, cold has alway symbolized death. I prefer it nice and warm!

Never done "chat" in my life - don't even know how!

[Binger]

Theres a button on the homepage here that takes you there.. we have to meet there some time- Jay can crack his jokes and Cedar can sing some Dusty and Auntie can give us recipes and Maureen can tell us about her latest plaid.... hey get better my friend... the countdown would collapse without you! Maybe you should lay down and take a nap
(snicker.. giggle.. snort.. chortle...)- Have a good Sunday friend..... may we always meet in "real time"

YABBA!

[Crown 84]

Well, maybe I'll venture in some day (if it doesn't interfere with my nap, that is!)
You have a great day, too!

[Holiday]

Mornin everybody! Can't get going this morning...time to get the java brewing! Got myself a cold now...what we call the "Agnes Cough" ~ that's my Moms name...she gets a horrible cough every year & she has handed that "trait" down to a few of her children! Thanks Mom! :-?

Have a Super Sunday everybody!!! :)

[Cedarfarm]

Hey yous, Good Morning!

That's so awesome...Crownster & Bing meeting in real time, a rare event indeed!
Hope you are feeling beeter Crown.

~...."and don't it feel GOOD!"

[Cedarfarm]

Oops. Hope you are feeling BETTER, I mean.

[sila]

gosh guests just left im sooooo tired!

[Crown 84]

Oops. Hope you are feeling BETTER, I mean.
Much better, thanks.
(Beeter, too. Or maybe I'd beeter feel better.)

[Annette1990]

Good afternoon everyone!
I didn't get a chance to post this morning. Was busy and on the go. Wanted to say hello to everyone and hope you are having a relaxing and lazy Sunday. The weather here was nice today. A little breezy but almost 50 out! The snow is melting away. We do have some slush here and there and it makes the roads damp and wet but less and less everyday as it continues to warm up.
Was going to take little one to go and see Alvin and the chipmunks but she is now going with a friend.
So I will find something to do while she is away. I should also be in chat a little later if any of you care to join us die-hards!
Have a good one!

[sugarplum fairy]

Hi everyone. I have been doing taxes today. I am sick of numbers. I hope everyone else had a much more fun day than I had.

[sila]

morning alll monday again!

[scoobie]

Morning All,

A chilly foggy start to the day here in SE england, but the sun is trying to burn through the fog as we speak...

So, where did the weekend go? Anybody know? Why does the weekend always go by more quickly than just two random week days?!

Anyhoo, should hopefully find out some news on my house move this week... fingers crossed there are no more questions from our buyers solicitors...

Have a good monday everyone!

[Crown 84]

So, where did the weekend go? Anybody know?
Don't know, Scoobie. I only knows it never comes back.

And speaking of weekends, we have now moved one weekend closer to our Christmas Season:
Weekends to the Season: 41 (Hey! That's not so long!)
Days to the Season: 290
Days to Christmas Day: 332

Another cold one at 28 degrees for the Monday morning commute.
Lots of sun, though, and no wind.
Should be a nice day for a quick walk, later.

Have a Marvelous Monday, all my Christmas Comrades!

[Holiday]

"Happy" Monday everybody!! :hi:

[Crown 84]

That's a good way to think about it, Dom.
And best of luck with your "someone special".

[mammaduke]

Don I hope everything gets better for you & that special someone comes back to you after reading your E-mail. I will pray that things get better for you.

[Holiday]

I think Friday will be a big day as we turn the calendar out of Jan and realize we won't be able to hit Jan again till we go through an entire Christmas season! That's sweet!

What a great way to think about it!! Good luck to you with your someone special. I hope it all works out for the best for you! :smile:

I got an email from a friend today saying she has the winter blues so bad. That got me thinking again how I just don't have them this year. I am loving this ~ being all cozy inside, sipping some hot java, watching movies, I could use some snow, but other than that I'm thinking this has been a pretty good winter so far. January is flying by!! Once we get a few warm days I'm sure I'll start getting spring fever really bad, but for now I'm going to enjoy the cold!! :)

Speaking of spring fever, I'm thinking about starting some tomato & pepper seeds this afternoon.... It will be garden season b/f we know it!!

Have a great afternoon all!!!

[sweetmisery]

Woot. Its my 3 Years Anniversary with my gf today. Just finished writing a long letter(thru a card), and cant wait to celebrate it on dinner. Its one of the major things that serves as a pitstop to Christmas 2008. lol

Congratulations on 3 years together! Enjoy your night!! :-D

[Annette1990]

Good afternoon everyone. What a crazy day it has been. First off I didn't sleep well last night at all. Then I wake up this morning to cold temps, wind and snow. I didn't work today because I ended up taking DD to the doctor because she has an ear infection. She is doing fine thou thank goodness. It's been a lazy day here. I just woke from a nap and could easily go back to bed and stay there. It's just that time of year where I could hibernate like the bears do...*L Well I hope you all are having a good day. I also wanted to congradulate Sweetmisery on your 3yrs together. How nice it must be to have that closeness and connection to someone you care about, wishing you many more together!

[scoobie]

Morning all.... well, Monday has now been and gone, not to be seen until next week! As a previous poster mentioned, only a few days until January is gone for a whole year, not to be seen until after next Christmas.

You know, the last couple of days I've kinda lost that Christmas spirit, but coming back onto these boards brings it aaaallll back again! Thanks to everyone for keeping the spirit alive all year round!

Anyhoo, bright and sunny here in SE England. A bit chilly, but not too bad... day of exciting meetings (!?) at work today (yawn) best get that coffee brewing!

Catch you all later, have a good day!

[Crown 84]

Good Morning, Class!
<< Good Morning, Crown! >>
Thank You!
OK, Let's get started. Today's activity: moving another day closer to the Christmas Season.
<< YEA!!!!!!!! YEA!!!!!! YEA!!!!!! >>
OK, Class. Settle down, now!
Johnny, can you give me the correct count?
<< Days to the Season: 289
Days to Christmas Day: 331 >>
That's right, Johnny! A gold star for you today.


A bit warmer for the commute this morning, but still coolish at 42.
Supposed to be real nice this afternoon, with the temperature in the 60's.
Hmmm....... Maybe I'll clean the whitwalls on my car.

Have a Terrific Tuesday, Class.

[Holiday]

Good Tuesday morning!! Looks like a dreary Ohio day today! Supposed to have rain, thunder & wind today, then snow & wind tonight & tomorrow! Right now it's 42º but supposed to be 13º by tonight!! No wonder why everybody's sick! ;-)

I was home from work yesterday...coughing, fever, sore throat, but I'm much better today, still coughing but fever is gone! Anyway....since I was home I watched The Santa Claus Brothers. It was alright...pretty cute! I started to watch The Christmas Visitor but decided I should get SOMETHING done, so I made supper for last night & tonight. I have seen that movie before, but I will watch the rest of it sometime this week, hopefully!

JANUARY IS ALMOST OVER!!! :dance:

Have a super Tuesday!!!

[Cedarfarm]

We might get into the 50's today!!http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b300/chicks_/sheep.gif

Find them sandals Cedar because if it's anything like the 50 we had recently it came and went so quick..That I didn't even have time to find my flip flops before pulling out my snow boots again. *L*

[Cedarfarm]

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b300/chicks_/Global20Warming20Meeting20Cancelled.jpg

Oh Annette...you are so right. I heard there will be a 'Winter Weather Advisory' starting at 6pm, then a 'Winter Storm Watch' after that...then the mother of all, A 'SEVERE Winter Storm Warning'! Being a Michigander, I never did look for those sandals...!

YABBA!!

[Cedarfarm]

I heard there will be a 'Winter Weather Advisory' starting at 6pm, then a 'Winter Storm Watch' after that...then the mother of all, A 'SEVERE Winter Storm Warning'!
And THEN, finally, the dreaded TRIPLE-DOG Winter Storm Warning.
(Or would that be a slight breach of etiquette?)

[Holiday]

:lol: You guys... :lol:

[Rennabelle]

We are having snow here also and winter storm warnings. brrrrrrrrr its cold time for some more java. My cups keep getting bigger and bigger and the market is ordering me french vanilla creamer by the case. ha
Sounds like we all are having unusual weather this year, ours goes from very warm to very cold back to very warm and raining, no happy medium. One or the other but don't need all the weathers of all the seasons all in same week. brrr time for more coffee. anytime is great for java.

[Binger]

cold here.... in the 50s....

YABBA!!

[Binger]

hey Renna- one can never ever have a cup of coffee tahtis too large! Or.. in some people's case.. one can never ever have a bed that is too fluffy......

YABBA!!

morning xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
im more of a tea person than coffee

[scoobie]

Morning all,

Wet and miserable morning here in SE England, but on the plus side, its hump day so the weekend is not too far away!

Still waiting on house moving news... I am getting sick and tired of it all... we accepted the offer on our place back in October, and we still havent moved! I was talking to a friend of mine who lives in Missouri, and he said when he bought his house over there it took six weeks! *grumble grumble grumble* Hopefully we will exchange contracts this week, and will be able to move next week....

Anyhoo, enough of my rambling....time for a cup of coffee and a choc chip muffin!

Have a good day everyone

Scoobie

[Crown 84]

Sounds a bit like the stock market, Renn!

Days to the Season: 288
Days to Christmas Day: 330

In the fifties here too, Bing. Plus, ominous storm clouds.
We had some rain overnight and it looks like we will get more today, which is a good thing owing to our continuing drought.
You had better stock up on.......well.......you know......I know......EVERYBODY knows.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday, my friends.
We are at the peak of the week and the view ahead to the weekend looks wonderful!

[Crown 84]

Ah! An ally in the coffee/tea wars.

[Holiday]

:cold: Baby it's cold outside!!!! Thermometer said 4º this morning & weather.com says feels like -14º!! BRRRRRRR! It is SO windy ~ 60 MPH wind gusts!! WEW! I told my hubby last night that we should have taken our flags down off our flag pole...we put up 2 new flags after the new year & they sounded like they were getting ripped to shreds overnight!! He said "I'm not going out there NOW to get them!!!" Lol! MEN!!!
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/bucks_fanatic/28_2_9.gif

Have a great Hump Day everybody! I can almost smell FRIDAY......

[kelly ann]

Well I just can't believe it's Februaury in two days, because im still waiting for the winter to start.
We have had some cold weather but the sun is shining today.

Its also my wedding anniversary - 4 years!!!

[Cedarfarm]

~WOW! That was one scary storm last night! According to the Beaufort Scale...we had a violent storm...64 miles per hour wind chill MINUS 20 winds. I laid awake and felt this old house rock on it's foundation. The doors were moving back & forth in their casings and I expected them to blast open. Even those flannel sheets and down comforter didn't help.

How is everyone today? Glad to see your happy posts! This coffee is perking me up, and boy, it sure tastes good...ummm.

[Holiday]

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

:hello: Happy Hump Day! Speaking of Humps - how's Carl the Camel?

Talk about crazy weather . . . one side of the city was fighting rain and strong winds, the rain turned to snow and the school buses were cancelled then by around 2 pm the other side of the city got hit with the mess while the sky in my end showed blue patches, but still strong winds persisted. They stopped the city bus run to the other side of town, I don't think they've ever done that before.

Thankfully work isn't far and my jaunt to and from is fairly simple, still I almost wound up at a Starbucks in Michigan, but another wind current tossed me back my way just in time for supper.

Today was a longgggggggg day at work, tomorrow another one and Friday - well that's another busy one - I'm not saying Monday and Tuesday weren't busy, but I had time to take a few breaths.

Catch y'all on the flip side of the storm.

Today, I was humming a Christmas tune and didn't even realize it until someone else started humming along.

:snowball: So, I leave you with the sounds in my head . . .

Hum Hum Hum Hum Hum Hum - okay it wasn't that bad, I was it was more like Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells . . .

[sila]

morning x
it was sooooo windy last night !

[scoobie]

Morning All,

Looks like we have the windy weather down here in SE England this morning too! On the radio this morning, they were saying that we should expect gusts of up to 70mph!

Think I will have to go home at lunchtime, and take down my temporary HF aerial which I put up last night, dont want to come home and find its in somebody elses garden!

Anyway, hope you all have a great Thursday... its time for me to have some coffee....cant.....function.....without....it....

Seeya,

Scoobie

[Holiday]

GOOD MORNING!!! :D It's ALMOST Friday & guess what???? We are supposed to get 4-8" of snow between 7 PM tonight & 6 PM tomorrow!!! :dance: They can keep the freezing rain, but BRING ON THE SNOW!!!

...WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 7 PM THIS EVENING TO 6 PM EST FRIDAY...

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY. AS IT DOES...SNOW WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA TONIGHT. THE SNOW MAY MIX WITH SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN AT TIMES LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. THE SNOW WILL TAPER OFF TO SNOW SHOWERS THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON. TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 4 TO 8 INCHES CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS MERCER (that's me!) COUNTY THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

Have a GREAT Thursday!!!

[Cedarfarm]

:snowball:

[Crown 84]

Good Morning, Good Morning, Good Morning!

I hope everyone in My Merry Christmas land is well, happy and warm on this chilly last day of January.
The temp was 28 when I left for the office and I was again glad I threw a sheet over the windshield of my car last night - no ice scraping to do.

Days to the Season: 287
Days to Christmas Day: 329

We are moving right along to our 2nd milestone, the 25% mark, now under 2 weeks away. Incredible!

Speaking of Humps - how's Carl the Camel?
Ah! I wondered when someone would ask about Carl.
Big news there. Our dear triple-humped friend decided he wanted to visit the land of his heritage, Saudi Arabia, and right after Christmas, off he went. Said he wanted to "discover his roots" and track down rumors of other 3-hump relatives in his family tree. He sends periodic e-mails and seems to be having a good time. (Just yesterday, he told me he LOVES the warm weather and frolicking in the desert sand)
As for when he will be back - who knows?

Have a Thrilling Thursday, one and all!

[Annette1990]

Good morning everyone! I had my morning coffee about an hour ago, got little one off to school, got my house all tidied up and some laundry in the washer. So I guess I can say I got my exercise in for this morning. The weather here is cloudy..not much wind and not real cold outside. But they could change very quickly..who knows. I am also thinking about what to make for dinner this evening. I made lemon chicken and rice last night and it was wonderful. I hope you all have a great day!

[Holiday]

It's Evening here now and the weather is very cold!! Brrrrrrrrr. My daughter has just settled down to watch a kids DVD and by the way it has a Christmas Theme!!
I thought I'd be lazy today and did my grocery shopping online. Anyone ever tried that?

[Binger]

You threw a sheet over the car? OMG you are now also sleeping on the hood of the car?

YABBA!

Cedar- I dis snow- but that is excessive.. hm,mm coffee though inthat quantity is not excessive..

YABBA<<<< hey where's the plaid girl?

[Crown 84]

You threw a sheet over the car? OMG you are now also sleeping on the hood of the car?
I'll have you know I've done some of my best sleeping on car hoods - but only if they are warm with the engine running - the gentle vibration is quite soothing!

No I have never tried this Kellyann...but here where I live you just make a call they will take your order over the phone and delivery to your home. But I don't do that..

[Iron Eagle]

Greetings Everyone !

Only two lighted houses left, as of last night. I spent today (and probably the next couple of days) here at home. The "cold monster" got me.

I'm going back to bed.

Good night all !!!

Happy fridaaaaay! Finally had some news on the house move yesterday, should be exchanging contracts today, and moving in to either the 14th or 15th, just waiting to hear back from our buyers on when they want to complete... so lots of packing to do over the next two weeks!

Anyhoo, I'm desperate for my coffee this morning, so I'll catch you all later

[Holiday]

Good morning! Happy, happy Friday!! :D Our weathermen are full of it! 8-10" of snow? HA!! We got ice with a dusting of snow on top! ARGH! Should make my hubby's job fun today (UPS driver)! I'm glad to only have a 3 mile drive to work!

Scoobie ~ I'm not envying you at the moment. I hate to move! Lol! But it will all be worth it when it's done! Good luck to ya!!

Grocery shopping online, huh? That's interesting. Are the items delivered from local grocery stores? Can you buy all your groceries online? I've heard of it, but I've never heard of anyone doing it. I love to go to the grocery store, but if I didn't, that sounds like the way to go!!

Have a Fabulous Friday!! The beginnning of the best 2 1/2 days of the week!! :smile:

[kelly ann]

Yes, Holiday, the food is delivered from the local supermarket!! Im surprised at the fact you can't do it in America!!!!

[Crown 84]

Good Morning.....Good FRIDAY Morning!
A cold, wet Friday Morning.
"Well, I'll say any Friday is a pretty good Friday".
(with apologies to Karen Carpenter)

Days to the Season: 286
Days to Christmas Day: 328

Yes, it's a chilly, rainy one outside with the temp right at 40.
However, the weather service promises a clear, sunny weekend with temps in the 50's or 60's. I'll hold them to it!

Have a Fabulous Friday and a Wonderous Weekend, my friends!
Be sure to keep that Christmas song on your lips and the spirit of the Season with you wherever you go.

WOW! 50's or 60's...I could get used to that.
Outside my window right now, a white-out blizzard ~ complete with severe weather warnings, school closings, freeway pile-ups, sirens....but hey, that's winter in Michigan!

Happy Friday the 1st!!

[scoobie]

Scoobie ~ I'm not envying you at the moment. I hate to move! Lol! But it will all be worth it when it's done! Good luck to ya!!

Thanks Holiday... the whole sale/buying process has been going on for almost 4 months now... and thats after losing our first buyer! I hadn't quite realised how stressful moving can be! Not looking forward to the packing and unpacking aspect... but cant wait to get in and settled!

Only 2 more hours until the weekend begins for me! *ducks from incoming projectiles as some of you are just starting the day* ;-)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Sounds like your getting the weather that was predicted for us!! Minus the sirens & pile ups of course, it sounds fun!! I just wish everybody could stay home, warm & cozy & watch it snow on days like that....unfortunately it doesn't work that way! :-? I even had my "snow candle" burning last night (I always burn cappuccino brulee when it's snowing) & it still didn't snow!! :lol:

Schools are closed here today too b/c of the ice. It wasn't bad coming into work this morning though...lots of slush. I'm sure the back roads aren't pretty!!

[Annette1990]

Good Morning All...Just got little one off to school about an hr. ago. And my house is in order and now I am kicked back drinking a little coffee and listening to Wham! (Remember them?*L*) Wake me up before you go go....loved that tune. Our weather doesn't look to bad today. Blue skies and the hi will be about 33 with an overnight lo of 19. It is calling for some rain later today and possibly some snow flurries this evening. I so can't wait to dig out my shorts, tanks, flip flops and swimsuit and be able to head to the Yellowstone River for some good times. I hope you all have a wonderful friday.

[sweetmisery]

Atleast were 7 months away before the BER seasons. Then we will start to see Christmas decorations, thus making me power up!!! LOL!

Today is my sisters debut(its Feb. 2 already here in the Phils.), we will have an overnight beach party... woot! Cant wait.

[Binger]

Rain finally stopped here but I swear it was a blowin and a rainin and a singing and a prayin.. and a perkin.. and any ins" I can think of..

YABBA!

Ok Ok stop sleeping onthe car hood- this ain't the drive-in at the shispering pines ......

YABBA.... say good night Binger......

good night Binger....

[Iron Eagle]

Good Evening all !

It stopped snowing here early this morning, after about 10inches or so. The official count was 7.5 inches. It sure looks nice. I'm still staying indoors for another day or so, but my son Jon went out for about 3hrs and cleared the snow. Next big snow, it's my turn.

Later my friends !

[sila]

morning we have snow too!

Days to the Season: 285

Another frosty Good Morning to everyone!
We stand at 35 in Raleigh at this hour, but it's bright and sunny with the promise of 60's by this afternoon.

"The Shipering Pines". Hmmmmm...... Sound a bit like an old roadside motel to me, rather than a drive-in restaurant.
Do you oldsters out there remember them? Little motels along the old 2-lane highways - kind of like the Bates Motel in Psycho, except they were usually brick instead of wood.
Another disappearing piece of Americana.
In fact, let's do an internet search.....
Ah! Sure enough, there is a Whispering Pines Motel!
(Actually, several)
http://www.junelakerealestate.com/rm/listings/images/21_1.jpg
(Hey, Bing! Let's stop in. I can get a nice long nap while you drink 25 cups of coffee.)

Have a Stupendous Saturday, my friends!
And a Wonderous Weekend to boot!

I am cracking up here.. The Shispering Pines Motel.. hey Cedar- I think they need a good lounge act- get the Dusty Wig on- Jay- get the tights going.. time for the Paus Du Lux..

YABBA... off to the Pines.....

[Binger]

hey Dom- I do that- in fact- the sales this year are better than ever and I also buy for the Pine Ridge Reservation in SD - they start their Christams Drive in the summer and by buying at the end of season sales_ i can get more ( BTW anyone live near a Steve and Barry's outlet? GREAT SALE going on there.. ) hmmm in fact- think I will go have a cup of coffee and go shop-and I am going to stop by the shispering Pines Motel/Coffe Shop?Sushi bar where I hear there is a great lounge act...some pretty gal sings classic 60s while some guy dances ballet in the background.....

YABBA!!

[Maureen]

The lounge has to be decorated 1960's style with chrome, smoked glass and leatherette banquettes, complete with plaid carpetting and a bartender named Joe

[Cedarfarm]

....and let's not forget...the lounge lizard!

~hey...Christmas colors...

[Cedarfarm]

LOL...Maureen, the only thing plaid in those old lounges were the singers pants!

[Maureen]

True but I'm involking the "artistic licence" clause!!!!!! If we can get away with you and your Dusty wig and Jay and his tighted pas de luxes, can't I have plaid leatherette banquettes??!!

[Annette1990]

Good Saturday Morning to you all. Looks as if the Groundhog seen his shadow and 6 more weeks of winter. We have blue skies today...but I stepped out this morning to let the dog out and it's soooo cold. The hi will be about 36 for today. Good walking weather really I so I plan to get out for a little exercise this morning. I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday.

[Crown 84]

Oh!
Look what they are selling right down the street from The Shipering Pines!

[Holiday]

Good Saturday afternoon! You guys are too much!! :lol:

Iron Eagle...send me some of that snow! I bet it's beautiful! The ice here ended up getting pretty nasty last night! We went out to celebrate my nieces (also my Goddaughter) engagement. When we went to pick up my sis & bil to go to the party we ended up in their front yard!! Lol! Their lane is on a hill...we had the car in drive, hubby had his foot on the gas & we were going backwards! Kinda fun!! :D But my nephew (who has had his license for 2 whole weeks now) wrecked their Explorer last night leaving his basketball game. He's alright & that's the main thing! AND my Dad almost fell on his keester in the parking lot leaving the party...thank heavens my sister was behind him & grabbed ahold of him. He sure doesn't need to fall & break any bones! (he's 80) So it was a bitter sweet night...engagements & accidents...

Well, I'm off to plan a wedding shower & then to a basketball game for my Moms "Birthday Basketball Bash" Have a Super Saturday!!!

[JayIsh]

Crown, you are a genius!!! Pure genius...

Binger...Tights are ready...and Man are they tight...But Ballet? Couldn't I do some interpretive dance with Ozzy Osbourne's "Iron Man" blasting in the background? Or perhaps one of the dances done by Bing and Danny Kaye in "White Christmas"??? Or, at worst...Perhaps a fine visual performance of "Hocus Pocus" by Focus? I believe that I can even yodel if necessary...I know I like to eat them so...

Off to dinner...Have a happy Saturday night and a blessed Sunday morn!

jay

[Crown 84]

Or perhaps one of the dances done by Bing and Danny Kaye in "White Christmas"???
The dance routine with Danny and Vera Ellen in that movie is one of my very favorites of all time!

[Cedarfarm]

Me too, Crown...I thought she was the berries. Her waist must have been 14"!!! I can hear my Mom now, "Wow, what a figure".... In other words, 'quit eating potato chips'.

Did love that movie, one of my absolute favs.

[sila]

morning xx

[Binger]

hmmm Jay- I think an interpretive dance would be fine for the Shispering Pines Motel/Coffee Shop/Sushi Bar...... maybe something called " Ode to a Rubber Tree" performed while Grand Funk Railroad plays " Loco-Motion"... meanwhile Cedar prepares to sing " The Look of Love" in a sultry voice while dyeing her Dusty Wig on stage... Crown meanwhile sleeps on one of those plaid covered seatees.......( though the brightness of them will require us to not use a spotlight on the performers..) Naturally, I will be there to serve... hmmm what can I serve... drawing a blank here....

YABBA!

[Binger]

Cedar- oh no- a reminder to stop eating potato chips- on Super Bowl Sunday no less.......ahhhh back go the Pringles to the Store!........

YABBA!

[Binger]

Hmmmmm Super Bowl Sunday..means everything is Super Sized..... hmmm think I will go and get a Big Gulp of Coffee.......... one must celebrate the Holidays!

YABBA!

[Binger]

Anyone want to join me? Jay.... Cedar...... Iron Eagle.. Maureen..... Crown.. ( Ohw ait- theyre not awake.. I know that..)

[Crown 84]

Naturally, I will be there to serve... hmmm what can I serve... drawing a blank here....
Fired Twinkies, perhaps?

YAAAAWN!! I'll try to be up in time for the game, Dom.
But then again, with it being Super Sunday/Super Sized Day, I'll just have to try out a super-king-sized mattress at the Sleep Number store.

Days to the Season: 284
Days to Christmas Day: 326
We are but another step closer to our next (25%) milestone, now a mere 10 days away. Time's a flyin'!

Another sunny morning here in Raleigh, the "City of Oaks".
It's a pretty nice 48 outside at this hour and is supposed to reach the mid to upper 60's by this afternoon. Beautiful!

Well, none of the teams I follow made it to the Super Bowl, but I'll still watch the game, of course. I also predict a New England victory - this is just their year to make history and I don't think they will be denied.

Have a "Super" Sunday, all. (That certainly works out well for today, doesn't it?)
We begin moving another week closer to the Season, tomorrow!

[kelly ann]

Aren't Sunday's boring..?

[JayIsh]

Good morning good people...First off, let's not write the Giants off completely...This game is the Patriots game to lose, they have all the pressure. The Giants are playing better than they have in years, and they will NOT go down without a serious business fight. Hopefully this will be a good game unlike the Super Bowls of days gone by that begin as a blow out and end with humiliation for the losing team...I predict a close game, a choke by the Pats in the third quarter and a win for the Giants by 3 points...

Now, dear Binger, there are not alot of dance fans at the house where I'm going to watch the game. So I'll not be able to where my brand new, larger sized blue and red tights. But I'll have them on in spirit! And if I have a moment where no one is looking, perhaps I can strike a pose...Vogue...vogue...Vogue...Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now...C'mon baby, do the locomotion...I saw the Grand Funk boys a few weeks ago...And while only two of the members are original, it was a fun show with tons of energy...Little Eva would have been proud...

A great Sunday to all!!! Enjoy the game, drink lot's of coffee, eat lots of chips and have the Alka Seltzer ready before bed!

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

Here's a shot from the last Super Bowl I watched.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y273/AuntieMistletoe/SuperBowl1.jpg

Oh, no that be the first one. Silly me.

I'm on the web listening to Thayrone and the BCMS, whilst O'Malley the cat watches the game.

My husband picked the Patriots wayyy back so I'll go with him on that one.

I do like a few surprises in sports though, it makes it more interesting.

cheesy I'd watch the game, but I forgot to pick up snacks and game without snacks just isn't the same.

Back to work tomorrow. Where did the weekend go?

[JayIsh]

I believe if you look at my previous post you will see a prediction of the Giants by three...

In the words of Elvis...Thankyou...Thankyouverymuch...

[scoobie]

Morning all!

I trust you all had a 'super' sunday? Anybody here a NASCAR fan? I'm getting a new channel added to my cable here in the uk called NASN (North American Sports Network - owned by ESPN) so I will be able to watch NASCAR, basketball and hockey! Can't wait!

Anyhoo, finally had some good news on the house move, we exchanged contracts on Friday, and we have a confirmed move date of the 14th! (valentines day!) which is also a day before the next milestone I believe?! So lots to do this week with changing addresses for everthing under the sun, organise moving my cable tv, phone and broadband accounts and of course the joy of packing!

Its funny, last night was the first Sunday night in ages that I didnt mind it being over and the weekend done...after all, another day closer to moving house!

Right, enough waffle from me... hope you all have a great and groovy Monday!

Scoobie

[Crown 84]

You dah man, Jayish!

Good Morning, all!
The Marvelous Monday after Super Sunday.
It's a bright, sunny day - an excellent start for moving another week closer to that certain Season we are all here about.

Days to the Season: 283
Days to Christmas Day: 325

Well, it looks like another busy Monday at the office, so I had best get started! See you later!

[Annette1990]

Good Morning Friends!
Went to bed early last night and have been up since 5am. Looked outside and noticed we had a skiff of snow and it's still snowing lightly out there. I just got little ones lunch all together for school, and a corned beef put into the crockpot for dinner this evening. Today is my daughter's 100th day of school. They will be making a 'soup' and she needs to bring 100 mini marshmellows...should be a fun day for the kids. I believe their last day of school is at the end of May. Before you know it summer will be here and I will be back to work full force. I plan to get my daughter back into swim lessons again. And also considering coaching T-Ball..did it last year with the kids and it was a blast! Can you tell I have warm weather on my mind? *L* I hope you all had a good time watching the game yesterday. I will now finish my coffee and get ready to start my day. Have a wonderful Monday all. Oh yes I almost forgot my Aunt and Uncle who live in Idaho sent me pictures of the snow storm that had hit there. I will post some pictures later today. So glad it missed me here in Montana...*L

[Cedarfarm]

I admit it's the latest & greatest commercials that keep me watching the Super Bowl. That Audi R8 ad - the play on the iconic scene in the 'Godfather'..where Moe Green wakes up to find a "Rolls Royce" grill in his bed..brilliant! "putting Old Luxury on hold" ! OMG...( I also liked the comb-over guy in the pepsi ad!!)

Tom Petty rocked! Yeah!! Pounds of potato chips consumed: 12 million!! (Sorry Mom.)

[Cedarfarm]

Hey Annette, now a corned beef in the crock-pot sounds yum!

Good Morning my friends....another Monday...another day closer to spring. Has anyone else noticed how the days are getting longer?? Well...Alrighty Then!

YABBA!!!!

[Cedarfarm]

~Hey! Where's that girl Holiday? ....wonder if she finally got snowed under?

:snowball:

[Annette1990]

cheesyCedarfarm you crack me up =)

[Holiday]

Here I am!! :D

Wow Jayish...how'd ya do it?? What a game!!! I thought for sure it was going to end up in overtime! 12 million pounds of tater chips?? That's a lotta chips! I didn't contribute to the tater chip eating, but we had chili & jalapeno bottlecaps & hot dogs & dear summer sausage.... YUMMY!!! (NO, I didn't eat ALL that stuff...lol, but it was available to eat)

Scoobie, we love Nascar! (well, I use to love it...it's changed so much, we aren't quite as into it as we use to be, but still keep up on it!) We're counting down the "days to green!" Will be odd to see Kasey Kahne in the #9 Budweiser! Got my hubby a KK #9 Budweiser shirt for Christmas w/ a "Born On Date, Feb. 8, 2008" Can't wait!!! :)

Have a good Monday! (one day closer to FRIDAY!!)

[JayIsh]

I have connections...You know...I know a guy...

Just a lucky guess...Wish I'd had money on the game to back up my lucky guess...could've made some real bucks with a twelve point spread!!! Ooh well...That's me...A day late and a dollar short...How's the snow???

[Holiday]

Morning...Superbowl Sunday...anyone watching the game or having a little party of their own?
Patriots win this one 38-24.
Holiday, why did you go out if it was that bad? Sounds like every person you know was out in an ice storm and either falling or hitting into something...and doesn't schools cancel basketball games in bad storms there?
Well hopefully everyone enjoys the superbowl...the Christmas of football.

Dom...the roads were fine early in the night, but as the night went on, they got slick in spots. The parking lots were all slick. Just have to be careful! Stay home??? HECK NO!!!!! :lol:

I concede to the gentleman from New Jersey. My last words before "goodnight honey" were "Jay was right!"

:hello: Happy Monday, Y'all!

[JayIsh]

And as a man, dear Auntie, I never grow tired of hearing that!

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night...

[Crown 84]

........And to all a Good Morning!.......A Terrific Tuesday Morning!

Days to the Season: 282
Days to Christmas Day: 324

It's a damp one out there, with fog.
Mist on my windshield this morning but no ice (kind of unlikely with the temp at 50)
It promises to be an incredible day, with the high predicted to be 76. (76?? In February???)

We are now but 9 days - single digits! - to our 2nd Season milestone, the one-quarter mark. Wow!

[Cedarfarm]

Morning!

We had thunderstorms and lots of rain last night ~ that snow is almost gone. I think I hear a red-winged blackbird...or was that my imagination...? Bring on Spring!

[Crown 84]

Ah! The red-winged blackbird! LOVE it's call.
Takes me back to my childhood in Florida. My grandparents' yard always seemed to have them, singing up a storm!

~WOW!~ The 'first' one I've laid eyes upon this year! Thanks Crownster, you know how to cheer a girl up!

Now if I could just see the Sun.....

Awww! Here you go, Cedar!

[Cedarfarm]

~OMG Crown...that is spectacular...thank you thank you thank you!! That pic just became my screen-saver! Wow, look at that...I can feel that heat, warmth.....

[Rennabelle]

Thanks Crown, that just became my screen saver also. Was getting tired of my snow one. I had snow on my screen and on the hills all around us also. Will be glad when spring is finally here and I can start planting all my seedlings that I have started. I need to start putting them out in the greenhouse but to cold out there and would cost to much to put heater in there so come on sun, come out to play and stay. At least be warm enought to keep it above 40, its been a while. brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Rennabelle]

I went back and read the posts since I was gone so better answer a couple posts.

Binger, My cup is getting to be a tub. I can almost take a bath while drinking my java. The bubble will have to be my french vanilla creamer all whipped up in the coffee.

Crown, We don't talk much about the stock market herre. No early retirement for us, we lost a few years worth of retirement funds on the stock market lately. sniff sniff

Tell Carl hi for me. It has been quite some time since he has been here. He kept me busy making coffee to keep his middle hump full. But then I think he does that to all that he goes to visit.

[Holiday]

Good evening all! (well, it's almost the AM hours again...) My boss has been really unmotivated this week, so he has been spending a lot of time with me in the office...lucky me....it's going to be a long week!! :-?

Hey Cedar, you didn't happen to catch that Michigan / OSU game tonight, did ya? Buckeyes pulled it off after trailing much of the 2nd half! Sweet!! :smile:

It's thundering like crazy at the moment. We had some big thunder boomers overnight last night. Our rain gauge had almost 2" in it this morning! Keep running sump pump, keep running!!!

Have a great night ya'll!

[Sparkling Star]

Ah....such a beeooteeful picture Crown! Hi ya Cedar, hi
Rennabelle, say hi to Carl for me too! Where's that Binger?

I've been away a long time but did manage to get Christmas
Cards out to everyone here and at Christmastalk. Sure have
missed you all. Hi Jayish! Can a person get a good cup of
coffee around here?

[scoobie]

Morning all,

Seems yesterday was a quiet day in thread...where is everyone? The one day I dont post, and it all goes to pot ;-)

Anyhoo, I'm busy busy busy sorting stuff out for the house move in 8 days! So many things to arrange, change addresses on utilities etc etc

Hope you're all good and having a great Wednesday!

Seeya,

Scoobie

[Crown 84]

Days to the Season: 281 (the 25% mark is 1 week from today!)
Days to Christmas Day: 323

A good morning to one and all!

Unbelievably warm weather. It was 65(!) when I got up this morning and we are supposed to set another record high in the mid-70's again like we did yesterday. I could get used to this global warming - the warmth of late spring without the usual humidity.

To those who sent greetings to Carl, he responds in kind.
While he continues to enjoy the sands of Saudi Arabia, he is always willing to jet back home to pay his fans a visit.
(That's his word - "fan" - not mine, that narcissistic camel!)
In case you are wondering how he can afford these trips, keep in mind the novelty of a 3-hump camel paves the way - he is always in demand wherever he goes. He's such a draw, the various transportation companies let him ride for free!

Well, have a Wonderful Wednesday!
(Carl, of course, sends his usual Happy Hump Day greeting)

[JayIsh]

Where the heck is that Binger???

Hello Carl!!!

Crown, is it true that Carl is a decendent of one of the camels that the Wise Men rode?

One week till 25%...Now that is cool, scary but cool...It still seems to me like it was an hour ago that we greeted the season...And here we are a quarter of the way to a new one...Man does time fly...I think I've written that about fifty times now...The main thing is that we are here, together in the Christmas Spirit and have a community of people with similar interests and passions...I feel so lucky to be part of this! I better go now before the wealth of human kindness overwhelms me and I begin crying at my desk...

jay

[sweetmisery]

Mornin to you... For me its good night. Its 12:48 midnight, and I have to be early in work this particular day.

[Sparkling Star]

Greetings on "Wonderful Wednesday" everyone. :rudolph:

Where can a person find some "Fired Twinkies" to go with
that cup of java?

I'm sending tissue to you right away Jayish, you are such a
sentimental soul and my eyes were welling up just reading what
you posted.....

Carl is being fitted for a rudolph outfit for Christmas 2008 but
Mr. Mackie is having trouble disguising the 3 humps and back
up coffee tanks.

[sila]

1 am back! the lappy died and i have a new one!

[Crown 84]

Crown, is it true that Carl is a decendent of one of the camels that the Wise Men rode?
That's what he says, Jay.
And I like to think so. It gives Carl a nice Christmas connection.
(Of course, it is difficult to trace camel ancestry.)

[Crown 84]

Where can a person find some "Fired Twinkies" to go with that cup of java?
They serve them at the Shispering Pines Motel as part of their continental breakfast.

Happy Hump Day!! What a dreary ol Ohio day. We have had over 4" of rain in the last 2 days! Might have to get our boat out of storage! Not right here, but one county over they've got a lot of roads closed & detours due to high water in the area! It's supposed to turn over to snow anytime now! Yesterday was almost 60 & by Sunday the high is supposed to be 10º! What a change!!

Hope you all are having a happy hump day!!

[Cedarfarm]

Posted by Holiday~ "Hey Cedar, you didn't happen to catch that Michigan / OSU game tonight, did ya? Buckeyes pulled it off after trailing much of the 2nd half! Sweet!! :smile:


Hey there Hol. Didn't see that game, but happy for you! Bucks rock! Yeah.

Holiday, are you getting this 'surprise' storm? OMG, it hit us really hard...total blizzard conditions, freezing rain mix...many are losing power.

[Sparkling Star]

Thanks Crown, I'm getting my road map out now.

[Holiday]

Holiday, are you getting this 'surprise' storm? OMG, it hit us really hard...total blizzard conditions, freezing rain mix...many are losing power.


So far we have had nothing but rain, rain, rain! I don't want any of that freezing rain! UGH! They are saying tonight is supposed to be snow (was supposed to start around 6, but nothing yet) but I have a feeling the change from rain to snow is going to be some of that icky stuff! Hang in there...I hope you don't lose power!

Tennessee is a mess, isn't it? Did any of you see pictures of that? How devastating! I hope noone here had to go through that! I'm keeping them all in my prayers. How awful!

[Binger]

Binger checking in.... near death with a sinus infection/allergies.... wait wait.."What's that grandma.. walk towards the light...?"

Yabba!

[Binger]

Star- the Shispering Pines Motel/Coffe Shop/Sushi Bar features fired twinkies as a special every Thursday night- just before the " Dusty Springfield All Star Tribute" sung by Cedar
(reservations highly suggested.. call now.. operators are standing by...)

YABBA!

[mammaduke]

Right now we are havng an ice storm here, We have at least an inch of ice all over & now they are still calling for snow tonight. So that will be covering all the ice. The rush hour in the am will be death trap.

[Holiday]

Oh no mammaduke!! Stay safe!! Hopefully you don't lose electric!!

Right now it is 30º & SNOWING!!! :smile:

My hubby went out to our place at the lake tonight & he said if the lake comes up 2 more inches, the water is going to be on our patio! That has never happened in 9 years, & we've had A LOT of water out there before! YIKES!

[Sparkling Star]

Thanks for the tip Binger, but even with speed dialing they told
me I need a referral from a veteran patron, I mentioned your
name and they immediately made the reservation. Can't wait
to hear those old familiar "Dusty" songs.

Just saw on tv that the Midwest is under a snowstorm seige
and Wisconsin hit very hard. Sounds like Ohio and New York
are seeing the ice and snow too. What is the weather coming
to especially after the South just got hit so hard yesterday
with those devastating tornadoes?

[sila]

morning and take care everyone xxxx

Bon Matin, mes amies.

Fifty-five degrees for my morning commute today.
Wild weather yesterday. The midwestern system was predicted to come our way at reduced vigor and for once they were right.
We had some moderate winds and light rain.
It's supposed to be nice through Saturday, then winter weater is predicted to return.

Have a Thrilling Thursday, my fellow Christmasoholics!

[kelly ann]

I hope everyone will take care in the bad weather you're having!!!

I can't believe i'm going to say this but, I really can't wait for the summer!!!

Good morning gang!! :hi: It's almost FRIDAY!!! :D

It's trying to spit snow this morning, but it's so fine you can't hardly see it! Lots of roads closed in the area now due to flooding. Hopefully the lakes & rivers are starting to back down now!

Have a great Thursday!

HAPPY HAPPY, FRIDAY!!! :D Anybody have any big weekend plans? Tonight a friend & I are going "shopping" for bowling bash stuff & either tomorrow or Sunday we are going shopping w/ another couple for clothes for the cruise. It's a shopping kind of weekend around here I guess. I'm just so darn happy it's FRIDAY!!!

Enjoy your day!!!!

A Happy, Happy Friday it is, Holiday!
One might even say it's a Fabulous Friday (if one was so inclined, that is, which I am).

Days to the Season: 279
Days to Christmas Day 321
Yes, we are moving right along to that all important 25% marker coming up just next week! Wow!

Colder weather is back after our warm respite. It was 36 on my thermometer this morning with just a touch of frost on the car.
However, 60's for highs are predicted for both today and tomorrow - so outdoors, here I come!

I hope everyone's Weekend is a Wonderous one!
Keep that Christmas song on your lips and the spirit of the Christmas Season with you, my friends.

[Crown 84]

Oh yes, Bing speaks coffee - fluently.
I've heard a rumor (unsubstantiated, of course) that they live in a house carved out of a single, giant coffee bean.
It's supposedly, quite a tourist draw in the SE Virginia area, I hear.

[dvdguy]

Im working sat, but its only for 5 hrs.

[Annette1990]

Yes I agree Dom TGIF...I also don't work this weekend. Our weather has been strange here too. High winds for days although it has seemed to die down some this morning. The hi will be 42 today but not to get to excited because tomorrow it is only suppose to be 21..then on Sunday back up to 44. I hope everyone has a good weekend.

Another bright, sunny NC morining!
The temp stands at 44 with the promise of mid-60's by this afternoon.
Great day to clean up the old car.
Or maybe take a nice stroll down to the Shispering Pines Motel for a Fired twinkie with der Binger. I'll wash it down with a tall one of iced tea while Bing will have a vat of coffee.

Days to the Season: 278
Days to Christmas Day 320
A mere 4 days away from the 1/4 mark, guys. Time's a flyin'!

Have a Stupendous Saturday, everyone!
And I hope your weekend is off to a great start!

[Minta]

Hey Dom
Care to send some of your snow showers down my way??? So far it's been a sad winter in terms of snow. Had 2 small snow events so far and the snow was gone the next day.

This morning I woke up thinking about Christmas and the song winter wonderland stuck in my head. LOL! Great way to start of the morning. LOL!

Picked a couple christmas gifts yesterday so it looks likes this weekend I will be starting my Christmas book for this year so I can keep track of the gifts I bought.

Hope everyone has a a nice day!

The coffee sun!

Have a great Saturday my friends.. Sun or not!

[Holiday]

Good morning! I love Saturday! :smile:

Yesteraday afternoon was so nice, I went outside & walked around the house...found some tulips & daffs starting to pop through the ground. The sun was shining (as it is today) & it was just beautiful! I could really easily let myself get spring fever...but I'm not going there yet!! I get spring fever already & it's going to be a loooonng Feb. & March! Lol!! I have to keep riminding myself to "THINK SNOW"....it's only supposed to be a high of 16 tomorrow & a low of around 6 or 8! BRRRRR! Definately not spring weather!

Have a super Saturday everyone!! I'm off to cruise shop w/ our friends...we are eating at Cheeseburger In Paradise....Pina Colada, here I come!!! :snowball:

[EdNog]

I hope evevybody has a great weekend.
Wow, almost at the quarter stage...time does fly.
:tree:

[Maureen]

Hello, hello, hello!!!!!! How the devil are you all??? Taking time out from my world plaid domination to say hi! The weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful (yep, windy and raining) but since I've no place to go, I'm here chatting to you, my partners in crime (there must be SOME sort of legislation regarding coffee consumption, entertainment licences for operas and trade union guidelines for pas de-luxers and Dusty Impersonators - not to mention the strict working hours for wigs)
:cry:

[Crown 84]

Amazing...but as was said in the beginning of the year very quietly the "countdown to the 2008 season" began on Nov 14th when nobody was thinking about it...and by the time the countdown thread started almost 2 months had gone by. That's just awesome...and makes the countdown more fun.
Ah! Dom, my friend - you understand perfectly why I devised this little idea!

[Binger]

Keep em coming........ This is great... Vaudville lives on At MMC...

YABBA!!

[Binger]

.........Up next at the MMC vaudville Theatre..... Cedar sings DustyS pringfield.." The Look Of Love.. which is a double Big Gulp of French Roast..."

YABBA!

[Cedarfarm]

~!!!Hey Maureen!!!~ Good to hear from ye! Let's go get some brew, I'm thirsty and ready to boogie! Care to partake?

[Maureen]

"I wanna put on...... my, my, my, my, my Boogie shoes... and boogie with you!"

[Cedarfarm]

Hey girl, pick ya up at eight....don't be late...wear those red platforms and please, please, PLEASE bring you new "Autumn Rose" lipstick you bought at Woolworth's yesterday. OK? Here I come...be ready!

[sila]

[Holiday]

Good morning! 11º this morning & man is it windy!!! :cold: Looks like a great day to stay inside where it's cozy & warm & watch a movie ~ &/or bake cookies. I think I might make some snowmen & heart sugar cookies!

Have a SUPER SUNDAY!!! :snowball:

[sila]

ooooh sounds great holiday x

[Annette1990]

Good Morning All...
A cold morning here this morning but should warm up a little later. The hi being 38. We got about an inch of new snow out there from yesterday. I have been fighting this darn cold and spent most the day yesterday sleeping. I am thinking about baking a ham today. Anyhow, I hope everyone has a great Sunday. Keep warm!

[Crown 84]

No football on Sundays...too early for baseball and spring season...we're kind of in that in between lull that sucks in February.
Um - what about BASKETBALL??
With both Duke and UNC just a few miles down the road, basketball is king around these parts!

Good Morning, everyone.
Days to the Season: 277
Days to Christmas Day 319
Only 3 days away from 25%!

A nice, sunny 55 outside at this hour. Should be another pleasant one today.
But winter returns again tonight with the low going down into the mid-20's. (I know, mild for you guys up north but chilly for us southerners!)

No word from der Binger since yesterday afternoon.
Where is that coffee hound?
Ah! I know. Down in their basement checking out the coffee safe where they keep their valuable coffee cashe.
(Rumor has it they also have a secret, hidden reservoir of coffee, stockpiled as a strategic reserve just in case of a coffee embargo.)

Have a Super Sunday, my friends!

[Binger]

Hey- Great- way to go- tell everyone where I have my secret stash why don't you... now I have to worry about Jay coming over and breaking into my stash- last time, he danced a paus dulux and I was so mezmerized, I didn't notice that he stole 2 lbs of my double french aroma blueberry fine ground latte,,,,,,

YABBA!

[Binger]

Hey I see those two Dancing Queens are heading out to boogie downto KC and the Sunshine Band.. forget vaudville.. DISCO LIVES at MMW..

ok ok hmm got my rainbow suspenders on.... platform shoes... ready to 70s style paus du lux...

YABBA... crank up the Chevette and let's gooooooooooo

[Crown 84]

Ah. Remembering the Chevette.

[dvdguy]

hmmmm blueberry sounds tasty

[scoobie]

Morning all!

Busy weekend for me, packed up most of our flat, so we're living amongst boxes at the moment! Our cat is most confused, bless him!

On top of all the packing, I was out in the garage tidying up some of my ham radio gear, went to close the garage door (the up and over type) and noticed that the garage door had come off its rails and was stuck. Anyway, in the process of trying to get the door back into place, the door came completely free and hit me in the face, just below my eye!! By this point I was running late for dinner at my parents, and had a nicely swollen cheek! Got the door back in place, and locked but still need to fix it properly before we move out!

Anyway, enough moaning from me! Hope you all have a good day!

Seeya, Scoobie

[sila]

good luck scoobie xx

[Holiday]

Good morning all! It's Moany Monday! ;-) Where does the weekend go? The 1st thing I told my hubby this morning is "3 more Mondays until VACATION!" :dance:

Be careful out there Scoob! Good luck with your move! You must be so excited!

My thermometer says 0 this morning. I think the wind died down, so that helps, but it's going to be a cold one! Lots of schools announced they were going to be delayed last night already b/c of wind chill. I wish my work would call & tell me to stay home till it warms up!! Ha ha!!

Hope you all have a great Monday!

[JayIsh]

Bah-da bah-da-da-da
Bah-da bah-da-da-da
Bah-da bah-da-da-da

Monday, Monday, so good to me
Monday mornin', it was all I hoped it would be
Oh Monday mornin', Monday mornin' couldn't guarantee
That Monday evenin' you would still be here with me

Monday, Monday, can't trust that day
Monday, Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way
Oh Monday mornin' you gave me no warnin' of what was to be
Oh Monday, Monday, how could you leave and not take me

Every other day, every other day
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes
A-you can find me cryin' all of the time

Monday, Monday, so good to me

Oh Monday, Monday, won't go away
Monday, Monday, it's here to stay
Oh Monday, Monday

"MOANY Monday", Holiday?
Why, it's a Marvelous Monday! Why? Because it puts us another day closer to our Christmas Season!

Good Morning, one and all!

Days to the Season: 276
Days to Christmas Day 318
What arrives in just 2 days?
What was that? Are you sure? Final answer??
You are correct! The 25% mark!

Just below freezing for my morning commute today.
But since the wind kept up overnight, there was no frost.
I just cranked up the old Crown Vic and took off.

Have a great day - whether you are into sleeping, dancing, wearing wigs........poetry.........or coffee guzzling!

[Crown 84]

Ouch, Scoobie!
(I hope your parents didn't think you were in a fight!)

[Cedarfarm]

~Bada ba da bada....
What a great sound they had...loved 'em. (now, where did she get my boots???)

Beautiful weather we are having!!

I Just made a homemade pie for dinner, its just basically potatoes/onions mince meat, gravy and pastry..mmmmmmmmm.

[scoobie]

Ouch, Scoobie!
(I hope your parents didn't think you were in a fight!)

It's alright, I told them I tried to catch a garage door with my face, but failed... they're used to me doing silly things like that... doesnt quite trying to eat the back of a car whilst whizzing down the road on my bike... that kinda hurt too! Still have the scars 12 years later!

[Binger]

If anyone ever tried to steal my stash of java- I'd hit them with my garage door...

YABBA!

[Binger]

hey catchy song there Jay my man... put a tune to it- maybe in bluegrass time..... then have a pretty gal from up north sing it real sultry like.. sorta like one of them there 60s stars hmmm and then.. take the record and play it real LOUD to keep everyone down South- ( in states that begin with the word NORTH) awake at night....

YABBA!

[Crown 84]

If anyone ever tried to steal my stash of java- I'd hit them with my garage door...
Then boil them in their own coffee and bury them under the shispering pines with a stake of fired twinkies through their hearts?
(Just don't be too loud about it - I'm trying to take a nap.)

[JayIsh]

I'll tell ya what though...One look at Michelle Phillips from those days and the tempurature warms up significantly...They are all gone except for her...Scott Machenzie died last year...John Phillips a few years ago, and of course Mama Cass many years ago...And it had nothing to do with choking either...She had a heart attack...Just made a great story to tell that she choked cause she liked to eat and drink a bit...40 minutes to five...Monday almost over...Then it will be...

Tuesday afternoon,
I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my way
It doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away.

Something, calls to me,
The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear explain it all with a sigh.

I'm looking at myself reflections of my mind,
It's just the kind of day to leave myself behind.
So gently swaying through the fairyland of love,
If you'll just come with me you'll see the beauty of

Tuesday afternoon, Tuesday afternoon.

Tuesday, afternoon,
I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my way.
It doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away.
Something, calls to me,
The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh.

[Holiday]

"MOANY Monday", Holiday?

That was for scoobie! ;-)

I'll be singing "Monday, Monday Bada ba da bada" all night! Good tune! :)

[scoobie]

Heyyy.. I wasnt moaning that much... ok, maybe I was!

Only 2 more days to go until the big move day! Most of the flat is now boxed up, we packed all the kitchen cupboards last night, defrosted the freezer and cleaned it inside out! I think the only thing left to pack is the TV and cable box!! My cat is still very confused, bless him!

Anyhoo, hope you all have a groovy Tuesday!

Days to the Season: 275
Days to Christmas Day 317
Tomorrow -- the 25% mark -- Be there! Aloha.

Good Morning, fellow Christmas fiends.

Another chilly one with the temp at 31 when I got up (exactly the same reading as yesterday morning)
We might get some rain today and tomorrow - still badly needed.
The "experts" said on TV yesterday that if the current drought continues until summer, one of the key lakes that supplies Raleigh's drinking water will be COMPLETELY dry. All sorts of mandatory water use restrictions are currently in place.
And if that wasn't enough, the fire danger is quite high.

Well, bad news aside, I hope everyone has a Terrific Tuesday!

I knew there were kits but most people that I have known from Seattle and (Washington State in genreral) with dreads they never washed or combed their hair for sometime..does this "kit" speed the process or something? I couldn't image myself having dreads it's bad enough trying to get a comb through my hair (which is to my waist) with plain old bed head..*L
You should post pics. of your sons hair at a later time.

[Binger]

Scott McKenzie whos ang "San Francisco" died? ohhh mannn.. just when I was about to put some flowers in my hair....... bummer...

yab..

[Binger]

I hear that people in NC wear dreads... something about sleeping better.....

YABBA! love that tune my man Jay......Hey Michigan..... crank it up... ohh yeahhhhhhh.... off to hit raquetballs.......ohhhhh

[JayIsh]

Forgive me...Scott McKenzie is still alive and living in Los Angeles with a cat named spider...Denny Doherty died in 2007...I got them confused...But Michelle Phillips still was, in fact, HOT...

[Crown 84]

The 25% Milestone has arrived!
Days to the Season: 274
Days to Christmas Day 316

Good Morning.
Hard to believe we are already a quarter of the way back to our wonderful Christmas Season.
The year is slipping away and it's only mid February!

Storms are predicted for today here in the Raleigh area.
Normally, that would be a negative but we are so dry, they will be a welcome site (as long as they are not too severe, that is!)
In fact, a little mini-hurricane would be appreciated.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday, all.
And remember - from the peak of the week, you can see all the way to the weekend!

[Annette1990]

Hi everyone, i hope all is well.
Hi Clarebear06..Long time no see. Hope everything is going well for you? It's raining here today with the hi being 38..It's suppose to be almost 50 come friday. Well it's time to get "little one" up for school and get myself ready to go to work. Have a great day everyone!

[Holiday]

We're a 1/4 of the way there already!?! :-D Hard to believe! Actually, it seems almost impossible that we're at the 1/4 point already. Time's a flyin right on by!!

We've got blue skies & sunshine today! It's cold out there & everything is white w/ a "crust" over the snow (from the freezing rain) but it looks beautiful!

Have a HAPPY HUMP DAY everybody!!! :D

[Cedarfarm]

~Hi There Crownster!!

[JayIsh]

By the way Ms. Cedar...do you know who wrote that song, "Fire"?

A Mr. B. Springsteen I believe!!!

[Cedarfarm]

Is That Right Mr. Jay?
Well how cool is that?!!

YABBA!!....It's THAT cool!

[JayIsh]

There is a version out there in Cyberland somewhere of Robin Williams singing "Fire" doing his best Elmer Fudd impression...If you can follow all that...So Robin Williams is doing his impression of Elmer Fudd singing a Pointer Sisters song written by Bruce Springsteen...Jeez...Get me scorecard...

[Binger]

OMG jay- you beat me to it.. I saw Robin Williams do that version of Fire ( almost sacreligious... Springsteen is God...).. it was hilarious... almost as funny as Crown when they get awakened after 16 hours of sleep....

FIRE>>>> YABBA>>>> JUMP>>>>>>

[Binger]

hmm who was it Jay who lived with a dog named BOO? I mean if Mckenzie can live with a cat named spinder........( BTW- he lived here in VB for a while.....)

On we move to our next milestone, the 1/3 mark.
And in case anyone is wondering, it is one month from tomorrow, March 15.
(I checked on the effect of leap year but it will not change that milestone)

Icy this morning. My car doors were frozen shut and I had to break them loose.
Supposed to be in the 50's by this afternoon, however.

Have a Thrilling Thursday, fellow Christmas Comrades!

(BTW, I heard that Bing attended the dog show but when they found out the trophy cup did not contain any coffee, they left.
Go figure!)
