A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffeehouse 2138, winter weather should wait.

I don't know where everyone went---

so I guess I will say goodnight to you all.

Sweet dreams.

Goodness, it's after 7 and no one in????
WAKE UP! It's friday and the sun is shining!.....well, actually it's foggy and cloudy.

The sun is just creeping up over the mountains here. Wind is roaring out there. But the wildfires that took out houses is far from me. We will be watching for any springing up nearby though. And I am so feeling for the people who lost their homes.

i just read about those tina. not good.

good morning cricket

i'm here waiting for a call back from the dr. still running a fever after 3 days on the antibiotics

I will be away for the better part of the morning so I figured I would let people know that I am safe for now. We have a beautiful sunrise going because of the smoke and the blowing dust. (Looking for those silver linings.)

drive safe

Morning,
The sun is out there I assume but sure can't see it- it is cold (28*)and it is snowing pretty good out there too... Joe just took Joseph to school... he will go back in an hour to take the boys to school.. glad we did most of our running yesterday...sure don't want to go out in this today... sticking to the roads now...
I have to pay some bills now... so will be back later .. got some laundry to do too.... and a house to clean up too....
Nana

Nana sorry for your snow and drearey weather.

If you like, you can come here...it is raining instead of snowing...I would even 'let' you clean my house....

I am back for an hour or so until the next appointment. Not quite enough time for much housecleaning. But I did cook breakfast and wash the dishes.

Ohhhh, Smokey food!

cindy, if you don't get that mouse out of your stove, you might cook it by accident. been there, done that.

did you see The Green Mile?

Johnny ruined our gas logs because Ging and I were screaming a couple of years ago because we saw a mouse in the fireplace. He came in with a torch and torched it and the logs (gas logs - dummy) went up in flames. Very exciting.

I love that movie
But if you see one mouse, there is most the time a family you don't see. they are chewing up your wiring and making nests for more families in your sock drawer. And leaving little hanta virus filled pellets in their wake.

Cindy--yea get yourself a humane mouse trap, trap it and put it outside.

and remember---where there is one there is more--and or the chance of MANY more--they have large litters-

"Ging" is my father's nick name........

Loz, I think you should decorate. I've put up lights when it was so cold I couldn't breath and that's no fun. A lot of people around here decorate right before Thanksgiving. I always thought it was so their family could see the decorations if they're not coming back for Christmas. Maybe it was just because it was warm.

One year I put up my tree in October. We were sick of it by Christmas.


How's Rachel today?

Around here the weather dictates when christmas decorations go up. Also the real reason so many of us puts up our trees up on thanksgiving weekend is that it is a long weekend and we have more time, and many are off of work for 4 days.

Not to mention life gets so hectic in December, TG weekend is one of the last calmer times before the Holiday's begin. The family getting to see everything, is an added bonus.

Tis my opinons anyway....

and all of this makes me realize I need to remind my DH that he needs to schedule putting out out decorations.--- Rod needs to "plan" doing things.....

Excellent movie but sad!!!

I am sorry for Rachel's pain---is this normal ?? has she spoken to the DR???--or more aptly his nurse??? My drs nurse has been so very helpful, I highly recommend calling the drs nurse...

good idea about the trap---BUT you might want to reconsider the red ribbon thing...with all you have going you do not want to get bitten, and you do not want the poor thing to get hung on the ribbon up someplace and choke to death, do ya??

I need to go find some lunch (12:16 here)

I'll be back later....

Thanks Carol....
Out weather has changed- snow stopped and I see blue sky now - that helps my mood for sure- still cold though - winter has arrived!
I have a lot of house cleaning to do here .... but would come help you if I could...thats the only trouble with online friendships- to far away to really help someone out...where is the transporter like the Jetson's had... that would sure help us out wouldn't it..?
Hubby just went to pick up Derek from kindergarten- he is buying us lunch too for a treat... we hardly ever do fast food...
I just finished up folding and putting away laundry... just got hubby all new skivvies- so told him to get rid of the old stretched out ones... well he put them in another drawer.... now why do men hate to throw out old clothes? LOL! I took them and threw them out .... he will never know the difference.
I am trying to figure out how to reconfigure my house to give myself a better office space- right now some is upstairs in old office - some is in family room and stuff is getting misplaced and lost- want it all in one space but need to keep a bed in old office for kids to spend the night too... I need a new room or to make the basement warmer so they could play down there more in winter, wish I could afford to finish it but that won't happen any time soon...
Well better get busy and get something done while I don't have all the boys here yet.
Nana

Back from one appointment and off to another. Got to go shopping and get my kids from school. I will probably nap after.

Oh---please take a nap for me too, OK???

what's his real name?

Cindy, you'll need a head doctor if you go to WalMart. Too crowded.

His real name is Lemar--he has no middle name.

when he was small he could not say 'sling shot'--he said "ging shot"

so it stuck.

anybody home???

Rod just made a fresh pot of coffee, and I need help in drinking it !!!

I guess no one is home--I'll come back and 'see' ya all later----

i think there are a lot of folks "home" right now, just bouncing all over to "catch up" which i did earlier.

how is everyone this morning, now that tgh is back

good thank you.--I di dnot sleep so well last night, but now that I am up all is well.


The boy scouts came today already and picked up their bag of non-perishables to make the holiday baskets with. I hope I chozae soem good items.

How are you feeling today??? do you still have a fever???

i feel better than yesterday, but i haven't done anything yet either. we'll see in a little while!

that is true, Jiffy. and there is the fact that your body is still all rested.


I will hope you still feel better this afternoon and evening.

Good morning!I have lots of homework to finish up.I did some of the homework a while ago and I still have lots.

HI!

We are fogged in. It is dark inside the apt, so we're using lights.

Maxi is here for the weekend and we cooked a wonderful breakfast... bacon, eggs, crumpets and coffee. Maxi had chocolate coffee (International brand) and I had regular pressed coffee.

We are having a nice time. Last night we watched The Wizard of Oz and then Shrek.


Merme

It gets foggy here every morning but the fog isn't very dense and usually burns off by 8 am.It'll get much denser the closer winter gets.

Good morning Enrique. I did not believe in homework much back when I was in school and I really still don't as an adult and as a parent. Too many hours spent on homework interfere with a kids chances to get the physical exercise they need and the time they need to socialize and grow up. I also feel it isn't truly necessary to a complete education.
That being said, I do believe in some. It helps children learn to work independently and to learn and hone research skills. So a report on some subject every month or so is alright with me. Plus lots of reading assignments. Then individual kids needing special help in certain subjects might need some extra time on those things like math. Tutoring is great for that and peer tutoring is the best.
But the school system doesn't agree with me. So I applaud your nose to the grindstone attitude. Education is a key to getting a well paid job in your future.

hello, Tina, Merme, & enrique.

Merme I am glad you and Maxi are enjoying your weekend.

the breakfast sounds yummy !!!

hello everyone. I don't believe in homework either. the kids spend all day in school. when they get home they just want/need to get a bite to eat and relax or go outside and run off some steam.
It's very cool here today and is supposed to get down right cold the next few nights.

here it is colder this afternoon than it was this morning.

Oh how I hate winter-----

Ahhh... It's nice and hot tonight

Always love spring & summer

Hows the weather there?
