A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffee House 2340--Come on Let's Party

Me too I haven't sleep much,, One day here in the hospital I slept pretty well,, But the last few nights I've been up most thru the night, walking the hall ways pulling my IV tree. TV sucks here,, Mostly religion and spanish stations,, News and world reports,, glad I have my puter But it's still boring.
Heck I even got up and cleaned my hospital room,, changed the chairs around, Moved the bed to sit at a different angle,, TOTALLY Bored here

Good Morning, sounds like we need to find you an easy Hobby while your in the hospital, Have you tried knitting or crocheting it could be something to pass the time with.

Diane, I hope you get to go home soon. I've never had to stay overnight in a hospital but I can imagine how boring it is. I didn't sleep well last night either but I think it was mostly me making myself nervous. Good morning, Shani! I don't usually get on here when your around. It's only 5:46am here. I'm never up this early.

Good Morning !! I have been up since 7:30 my time.

about 9 am 3 little boys (about aged 9 I think) came to my door and offered to clean the driveway for $3.00 so I said yes----in about 5 minutes (when they had my porch cleaned off) another of the boys came to teh door and asked if I wanted jsut my porch done or did I mean my driveway
so I said well yes my drivevway----so I said I will give you each $2.00 instead of the $1 apiece since you will be doing the driveway-- when they were done I gave them each $3.00.

and OH!!! after the mail man came the first boy came to the door with my mail. such a nice thing for them to do.

That was a very nice thing to do. It seems there aren't many kids willing to shovel sonw for money anymore. When I was young everyone was out doing it but now so few bother, and the ones that do go around I've heard of them asking for $40 for a driveway that would take 1 person a half hour to do.
That was also nice of you to give them more then they asked for a dollar each doesn't seem like much for shovelling.

I agree Shani---I thought th at too but I thought to myself--they asked me for that amount, so I went with it--but I could not ask them to do all of that work for just a dollar apiece so I gave them each the amount that they asked for for all of them.

I am betting that Rodney will say I should have given them more.

Yes, shoveling snow is hard work.
Good morning again. I got about 8 hours of sleep broken into 3 segments. So I am good to go.

well Rod & I just texted----I should have paid more but as it was I paid 3 times teh amount they asked for.

next time-(if there is a next time)- I will have an amount in mind

And those kids may have a better idea of what to charge next time, too.

Cute Carol..paying 3 times what they asked for is a good idea. They'll figure it out as they go along. By the time they are teens, it'll rise to $40 as well

My computer wouldn't start this morning..at all, kept telling me there was a problem with Windows, so I re-started in 'safe mode' and did a system restore and scan. Never found anything but now I'm worried because my computer sped up abnormally faster than it was. So if you don't see me around tomorrow..you know it fried itself.

I am off to shower, been outside all day shovelling roofs and re-banking the house..can it be spring soon?

I will hope for an early spring for you, Tamara.

Thanks Tina..because if not, look for some snow to be mailed your way

It might be cheaper to get a big fan on the western side of your country and blow the jet stream south.

Well, I'll be different you can mail me snow. After tha snow we got at the beginning of december we've had not much since then. I was hoping to keep lots of snow around this year.

yes isnt that the truth---
I am sure they will be higher even at the next snow storm



Oh my I am so very sorry...I hope you are here tomorow..



It can't be spring soon enough as far as I am concerned !!!!

Snow for tomorrow..sending it South to Shani

Hi all...

Tamara....HI !!!!!!!

Started snowing about 10 minutes ago...and the ground is already covered.
...and I have to leave here at 8am for a headshrinker appointment.
...winter storm advisory ....

Br careful and stay safe, Cindy.

last night we got 2 inches of snow an hour...so be watchful tomorrow Cindy. We got between 7-12 inches.

I will be back later tonight---I am making supper right now

they say a wintery Mix here for in the morning,, Good thing I don't have to go anywhere

Good grief...there's several inches of snow already, and it's coming down hard with a very strong wind. I just went out and put some garbage bags over the windshield wipers so it would be easier to thaw the truck out in the morning. Have to be on the interstate early.

I might just say screw the doctor appointment in the morning.

I think that may well be a sound idea, Cindy---if what we have here is any indication of the snow you are getting.

In the St Louis area, one section of the interstate was even closed down today for awhile.

Weather channel says 1-2 inches is all...but we already have 3.
And it will be 19 degrees when I get up in the morning.

Rachel is supposed to get a LOT of snow...they are excited!
They always get 6 inches when we get 1" here. They are still young...they enjoy it.
Last time I enjoyed snow was at Bill's...I'm old now.

well If it were me I think I would wait until tomorrow and see what the weather is like tomorrow. I wish you the best with that. I am staying home from Therapy tomorrow---DH is taking my car to work.

I will not be leaving here in the morning...it is bad outside, and still snowing.
Uhhh...weather channel said 1-2 inches???
I think someone there is in the principal's office right now for lying.

It is not theor fault now a days most weather people get the weather forcast wrong. Their excuse here was they "misjudged" teh amount of moisture we had so as a result we got more snow than they thought. I completely understand about the staying home--I stayed in today and I will be staying in tomorrow.

To be out in this snow and the cold that goes with it is not a good idea to my way of thinking.

I so bad need those sleeping pills I was getting tomorrow.
Oh, well...I'll just go out and make a snowman tomorrow and maybe the exercise will wear me out and I will be able to sleep.
No way I would drive in this...I used to drive everywhere in the snow/ice...didn't care. Now that I am old I have wimped out so bad I can't stand the thought of driving in snow. I had to drive last week iin the snow/ice and I was terrified. You couldn't have driven a greased needle up my [BLEEP] with a sledgehammer.

well I hear yoiu then--I can remember telling my parents that i WAS going out in the snow when their were only 1 lane roads open & they thought I should stay home.
but NOW I too will not go out in the snow/ice if I can help it at all

I dont suppose the DR would call yo in some pills to hold you over until you saw him when this weather clears up???

An extremely controlled substance...can't call it in.
But, I'm sure he could call in the Celexa...and since it makes people sleep better that might be all I need. I don't like taking those Halcion...they make me do things I don't remember. And I know this because...it's a long story...

well then I think I would call & ask for the Celexa. It would be worth a try, right????

Yep...or if they could let me in later in the day the road dept will have the roads cleared...they're really good about that here. (My brother is the head of the road department...he tells the plows to plow my road first.)

now THAT sounds like a good plan---and that is great that your brother takes care of yo ulike that.

back in teh day, my aunt's boss was the mother of the town's road commisioner. So she would make sure that my aunt's roads were plowed ASAP after a snow storm so she could get into work---LOL

Good night Cindy, sweet dreams--I am sleepy now so to sleep I am headed---

Good night Tina--sweet dreams to you as well---don't forget teh alarm clock.

No alarm clocks for me tonight. Ted has a soupy, drippy, coughy cold and he has shared it with me. He is so generous. No school tomorrow so we do not have to rise and fall by the hands of the clock.
Sweet dreams, Carol.

Hi everyone. You off to bed Carol? Good night! I don't think I'm going to have any major issues sleeping tonight. My feet hurt and my legs ache from work today. My body just can't handle these busy days like it used to. Maybe the weight gain has a little to do with that. I'll probably been heading off to bed in the next hour or so. I may watch an episode or two of Dexter first but I haven't decided yet. Cindy, I hope the weather isn't so bad that you can't get your medicine. We're supposed to be getting more rain and some areas could see more landslides since we really haven't dried out at all. Maybe it will actually rain when I run tomorrow and I can finally give my hat a proper test. Every time I bring my hat for rain, and the couple times it snowed a bit, it dries up for my run. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing but I kind of like running in the rain and I really want to try out that hat properly. I'm thinking of changing into my running clothes in the morning and driving to the trail from Joey's school and getting my run in first thing in the morning. That way I still have my whole day to start on laundry and buy groceries.

That sounds like a plan, Cheryl. But I feel a little odd wishing rain for your run. It just doesn't sound right.

I know, it seems odd. I've come to the realization that runners are generally odd. No wonder I like it so much, lol. I do live in Seattle though so running in rain is inevitable.

Good morning! I can't believe I'm the first one here today. I slept pretty good last night so I'm pretty happy about that. Not too much going on for me today. Running, laundry, and grocery shopping.

Good morning. I got to sleep in and I needed it. I am hoping my cold has settled into something a little more livable than yesterday.
