This morning it was so beautiful on the river. the fog started out before dawn and crept down the buildings until it touched the water and enclosed us all.
the boat goes into the yard tomorrow! Yay!! finally, omg. we will get the rest of the repairs!
Love you guys and love the Dr Phil advice Jam. Looking for something to drain.... I mean finish right now.
Cuz! How's your mom? Loved the list of Adult stuff. very funny.
Good Evening, Everyone. Had a decent day at work today. I had a doctor's appt. (shrink) after work but I blew it off cause it snowed some more and I didn't want to go. I just wanted to get home before it got real dark. So I'm a wuss or it was a good excuse. I hate going there, but I have to in order to get scripts for my meds.
I got home and there were some letters in the mail from our local library. They were one of two memorial choices for people to give in Mom's honor. The letters said that the money will be used to purchase books and each book will bear a plaque that says it was donated to the library in memory of (my mom's name) by (the person that donated the money). My mom would have been so pleased with this. It made me cry. She loved the library (was active there in The Friends of the Library) and reading. What a cool thing.
Linda, what a wonderful thing that man did for you. He IS an angel. I'm glad you're taking your pa to the doc. Best to have it checked out.
J, it warms my heart that you are coming out of the hole. A part time job with nice people would be great for you. I know mine sure has been...before Mom passed and since.
Jam, give it some time. It hasn't been very long since your mom passed. I'm glad you're going on some getaways. That will help. And PLEASE stop beating yourself up. You have been through so much. I'm sure it will help separating those pictures. It sounds like psychologically you need to. And how they can treat you that way after what you have been through it just boggles my mind. Of course, look at my situation. :P
deef, sorry but it's slow going on the cleaning and about all I can do. :) You'll get there, sweetie.
Rossella, I am with you girl!! Nothing productive and further South!!
K, gonna have a smoke, but not in a tanning bed. ;)
GP -you didn't get all the snow our storm will start any min. now maybe up to 16in. Jam loved your finish joke Ted glad you checked in-tried to send a message to Crowe but could not find his wall I wish he had not decided to go away. I went to my first exercise class at the senior center chair Zumba the instructor is really great I was able to keep up pretty good and she made us feel comfortable. Had another run in with my drug store the pharmasist keep trying to charge me not the insurance company so tomarrow will try to get the centeral no of Rite Aide to report him -he is picking on the wrong person I may look meek and mild but he does not want to see my temper in full bloom. I heard that 49 states had snow,
Austin, I'm proud of you for going to the exercise class and for standing up to the pharmacist. You go girl. Crowe changed his handle to Anonymous something.
Everyone getting the storm brace yer selves and stay home it is gonna be bad...unless you are ten then it is cool......got our errands done and him not being here was just nice break....
Thank you all for the support it mean the world to me truly...
Bobbie, I cry for my father after 16 years. I think I mentioned it already, many times. Maybe I should not say that, this is not a happy thing to say. My cats make me nervous tonight. They walk between me and my computer screen back and forth and back and forth and walk on the keyboard. I can't stand them tonight, so when they really piss me off, I close them in the closet of the old sweaters. The cats are happy and warm and I get some respite. I already closed three of them inside there. They fall asleep immediately. If I had had children, I would have ended up in jail.
Rossella, you are hilarious. no you wouldn't have ended up in jail. many people have kids and shouldn't. Look at those poor kids from that Westlake Baptist Church where they spew all kinds of hate and teach the kids that. You know how to love.
Kitty got frustrated with me last night and ended up sprawled across the keyboard and actually taught me some new tricks with the computer! (When I had to figure out what she had changed up)
Thanks Rossella. It's just a sad day for me all around and I appreciate your comment very much.
Hey guys! Just talked to Rip and sent her a picture of my big cat Tut. Just for fun, I measured him. He is 18" tall from floor to top of his head when sitting. He is 24"long from nose to butt and 34' long if you include his tail!!! He is one big cat!!! I'll post the picture on f/b tomorrow. It is a picture of my daughter on her hands and knees playing with Buggy and Tut decided to jump up and get comfortable on her back. Had to get a picture to prove how big he is. His favorite morning nap place is in the closet.
Deef!! this Kitty's favorite place is a lined basket in the pilothouse. It's stupid funny because it's on the back shelf so you don't see her unless she puts her head up and then you just see her head. with the ears arranged for the moment. Basket of Cat.
Rossella! I haven't weighed him in a while. He was sick when we took him in and only weighed 11 lbs. I just weighed him and he is about 15lbs. He's a very big boy. Good thing he's such a love! Waiting for the snow to start here.
Sounds like my little female. She finds all kinds of small places to hide from the 3 boys who all love to terrorize her. She can't let them walk by her without growling and snarling, so of course they intimidate her all the time. I get a feeling she gets her licks in though. They all have scabs on them from wounds I"m sure she inflicted. They mostly back down from her because her bite is worse than her bark!!
Little boy comes down to breakfast. Since they live on a farm, his mother asks if he had done his chores.
"Not yet," said the little boy.
His mother tells him no breakfast until he does his chores.
Well, he's a little pissed off, so he goes to feed the chickens, and he kicks a chicken. He goes to feed the cows, and he kicks a cow. He goes to feed the pigs, and he kicks a pig. He goes back in for breakfast and his mother gives him a bowl of dry cereal.
"How come I don't get any eggs and bacon? Why don't I have any milk in my cereal?" he asks.
"Well," his mother says, "I saw you kick a chicken, so you don't get any eggs for a week. I saw you kick the pig, so you don't get any bacon for a week either. I saw you kick the cow so for a week you aren't getting any milk."
Just then, his father comes down for breakfast and kicks the cat halfway across the kitchen.
The little boy looks up at his mother with a smile, and says, "You gonna tell him or should I?"
Jan, Sue and Mary haven't seen each other since High School. They rediscover each other via a reunion website and arrange to meet for lunch in a wine bar.
Jan arrives first, wearing beige Versace. She orders a bottle of Pinot Grigio.
Sue arrives shortly afterward, in gray Chanel. After the required ritualized kisses she joins Jan in a glass of wine.
Then Mary walks in, wearing a faded old tee-shirt, blue jeans and boots. She too shares the wine.
Jan explains that after leaving high school and graduating from Princeton in Classics, she met and married Timothy, with whom she has a beautiful daughter. Timothy is a partner in one of New York 's leading law firms. They live in a 4000 sq ft co-op on Fifth Avenue , where Susanna, the daughter, attends drama school. They have a second home in Phoenix .
Sue relates that she graduated from Harvard Med School and became a surgeon. Her husband, Clive, is a leading Wall Street investment banker. They live in Southampton on Long Island and have a second home in Naples, Florida .
Mary explains that she left school at 17 and ran off with her boyfriend, Jim. They run a tropical bird park in Colorado and grow their own vegetables. Jim can stand five parrots, side by side, on his penis.
Halfway down the third bottle of wine and several hours later, Jan blurts out that her husband is really a cashier at Wal-Mart. They live in a small apartment in Brooklyn and have a travel trailer parked at a nearby storage facility.
Sue, chastened and encouraged by her old friend's honesty, explains that she and Clive are both nurses' aides in a retirement home. They live in Jersey City and take vacation camping trips to Alabama .
Mary says that the fifth parrot has to stand on one leg.
1. I can't reach my license unless you hold my beer. (OK in Texas) 2. Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in. 3. Aren't you the guy from the Village People? 4. Hey, you must've been doin' about 125 mph to keep up with me. Good job! 5. Are You Andy or Barney? 6. I thought you had to be in relatively good physical condition to be a police officer. 7. You're not gonna check the trunk, are you? 8. I pay your salary! 9. Gee, Officer! That's terrific. The last officer only gave me a warning, too! 10. Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us does. 11. I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there are no other cars around.. That's how far ahead of me they are. 12. When the Officer says "Gee .Your eyes look red, have you been drinking?" You probably shouldn't respond with,"Gee Officer your eyes look glazed, have you been eating doughnuts?"
6:30 AM here and snowing and blowing!! Finally getting a genuine snow storm!!! Daughter and SIL have been out with the snow blower for an hour and still going. Hubby off to work, even though he's not sure if he'll make the usual 45 minute ride. We already have 10" and are expecting 18" plus before this storm heads out. Good ole fashioned Nor'easter! Definitely no daycare today. Bummer!:( Will be taking pictures all day. Had 7 cardinals on feeders at one time yesterday. What a sight!!!

Waiting for the snow to start here.
A man and his wife were at home watching television.
He had the remote and was switching back &
forth between a fishing
channel
and the porn channel.
She became more and more annoyed and finally said:
"For God's sake! LEAVE IT ON THE PORN CHANNEL!
You already know how to fish!"
