A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffee House 2381, Ready for Brand New Fun

Just figured I'd begin the next one before we get in trouble.

Yup, good call Tina

Yup, good call Tina.

I guess I should really start paying attention to the # of posts that we make, huh ??

It really doesn't matter anymore... I've given up

We try, Bill. And will continue.

aw Bill, I'm sorry--I'll try to be good, honest---

as No one is about much, I Guess I'll go and watch some TV---catch you all when I can.

Tomorrow we are going to my DD's for a late lunch...so I'll catch you all tomorrow night most likley.

We try to be good, Bill. I think we do a pretty good job most of the time. How's everyone today? DH went out and bought a new TV. We now have a 60" plasma sitting in our living room. This thing is huge, and looks great.

Congrats on the TV, Cheryl.
It is pushing 10 pm on a Saturday night and I'm getting ready to bed down. I must be old.

Good morning...

Congrats on the new TV Cheryl, enjoy

Bill...there'll be no giving up on here, we won't allow it Geez, can you imagine the trouble we'll get into if Cindy hears that

Snowing again, but it's warming up a bit...

Good morning. If the winds slow down, I will be outdoors working a bit today. Cleaning up the mess they left behind. If not, I will be indoors most of the day. It is also a getting ready for the week day. There is always much to do.

Cindy feels like she isn't doing a very good job these days...no wonder Bill feels like giving up.

You're doing a GREAT job!
I'm not giving up... but I am going in to town. BBL

Enjoy your day, Bill!

I'm home...

Let's see...I'm psychic (....or psycho?) ....but I think Bill went to the post office and the licker store.


I've been trying to get back on the internet all freaking day...guess they have been working on the lines again now that is has stopped raining.

Good evening all...

Bill your doing a great job, so no giving up---
and Cindy YOU are doing a great job as well---
So if & when you are not around--not to worry---
first have to take care of yourself or just how do you think you are going to take are of us???-- hummmmm ???
Remember that any time you are not here on the forum because you are not feeling up to par or because you are busy resting up or visiting some Dr or anohter or hey just taking care of "Cindy" stuff---

You are both doing a great job, stop worrying. I ate too much for dinner, blech.

I agree

Good morning everyone.

It's gloomy out but it isn't snowing so I guess I shouldn't complain.

Good morning. Cold here but not snowing or raining...I hope my internet stays on all day.

Yea, I 3rd that comment.

Good morning all---I am on my way to order my new glasses--I'll be back in later

Good morning. Another week begins. I think I am ready for it. And we have a windless day. I hope to get some outdoor stuff done.

There is still snow on the ground, but not much. The sun is supposed to show up later this week, so I'll be cleaning up the mess and trying to fix some trees that were damaged then. For now, the rain continues...

Internet is still on!

I've been cleaning up Sparta's messes from last night. He destroyed the place, knocked stuff over in the bedroom making sure I didn't sleep...I got up went to the kitchen to start the coffee this morning and there was potatoes all over the place, and his water dish was moved about 6 feet and water spilled everywhere. I think he was smoking crack again.....

Good Morning Everyone!

Glad to see Sparta is still up to his old tricks, and probably new ones, too.

I have been following along with y'all, but haven't signed in since before Christmas. We had a stressful December and I think I am just recovering! I am blessed and grateful for my family.

A while back someone, Carol, I think asked my name. It is Beth.

We are getting ready to celebrate our daughter's 4th birthday this weekend. I always make her cake and cupcakes and this year she requested a pinata, so we are doing that. I can't believe my baby is 4!

Hope everyone is staying warm and safe today! I will try to jump back in more often. Have a beautiful day! ~Beth~

Hi and welcome back Beth. Sorry about your December. Your little one is turning 4, a fun age. Hoping you share some pics of the day with us.

I am on a cleaning frenzy...DH came home for lunch and asked if I was watching Hoarders this morning I always go into an anxiety cleaning mode after watching. Maybe I'm crazy but I feel so good after filling a garbage back with junk.

Also tackled that poor Schefflera today...cut back half of it.

Nice to see you back, Beth! Happy Birthday to your daughter...I had the most fun ever with Brennan (my grandson) when he was 4 years old...seems like yesterday, and now he is almost 13. They grow up in the blink of an eye.

That "Hoarders" show inspires me to do nothing.
I look around and see so much 'stuff' that I don't need and then I watch that show and I think "Holy Cow! My stuff ain't so bad after all!!!" So, then I am content with the piles of stuff.

See Cindy, that is what it says to me as well----And Sunny---I think I know yoiu well enough to say, you will NOT ever let your house get like that so there is no need to stress when/if you watch that show--

just look at it & say to yourself--"WOW how can they let things get like that ???"


Beth !!! welcome back--'tis I "Carol" Good to see you !!!!

I look at the bunch of us as "stress reducers" so come back often---

Back--Just thought I mention:

Its 2:30. It is sunny out & the temperature is 61*F

Maybe I'm just

I wo uld LOVE to stay & chat, but my DH will be home any minute, so I need to go finish supper---
I'll be back later--- ---

I've known you a long time and I would take an educated guess and say you're psycho.

I have never watched hoarders. The idea of watching scares me. I am a collector, not a hoarder.

well I did watch a very few moments--but I too am a collector----plus I like to keep my children's momentos---so I can "remember"

I've only ever watched a couple of those episodes and it makes me feel clean by comparison. We got a new dryer tonight. Ours was overheating and no longer safe to use. We thought we were going to have to replace about five years ago so it had a good, long life. Work was stressful today, but it usually is when my co-worker is gone and I have to do staffing. Oh well, she'll be back Wednesday.

Good morning all..hope your day is better today Cheryl.

I watch hoarders whenever I can(and DH isn't home)
I think my fascination comes from the fact my mother keeps boxes and bags of stuff..not in the house but in her basement. She NEEDS to save everything in case someone needs a part or piece of an appliance, and saves every momento and toy my DD had. Old clothes, anything someone is throwing out, etc...

I already threw out two big boxes of stuff(DD's old toys) two years ago when I was piling her wood She still hasn't noticed.

Good morning, well I am tired---

oh my now I feel bad.
I have both of my DD's wooden doll houses, my youngest's child -sized fridge & stove---her littlest pet shops, a rabbit box that she made with her grandpa & some barbie items. and that is just a start of what I have. Then there is a bassinet, a play pen, a crib (which I am told is no longer deemed safe by the powers that be & neds to go) and a steamer trunk full of blanket & 'special' clothes. Not to mention if the girls want to keep something, they bring it to my basement. Rod tells people we are "a storage business" & that is how he makes his "real" money.

I am off to bed once again--sweet dreams you all.

The only thing I saved from DD was her toy dollhouse, Christening gown, a pair of baby sleepers, receiving blanket and her first baby boots. My mother saved everything else I had to fight to give away her crib, stroller and such but they went to a mom in need so I won the fight. I also saved a newborn dress that was passed down from my aunts daughters...it's 25 years old and still like new.

Well, must go get baking for the week.

Mmmm, baking sounds good on this cool morning.
I have very few items of clothing stored from my kids. And little in the way of toys. I do have trouble tossing things that may still be useful to someone, sometimes. But after it sits for a year or two and begins to collect dust, I often toss. I filled half the dumpster up last week with stuffed animals. Bags and bags of animals.
My youngest daughter moved out and I was able to furnish a kitchen with most dishes and things she needed for a large family. She just moved back home. So much for having all that new storage space.

I just made bread Tina...I was too lazy to cook anything else, I'll make the sweets tomorrow. It supposed to storm again Wednesday so it'll pass the day away.

I think no matter the size of your house there is never enough space..my house is tiny but I have family with large houses who complain just as much. I really need to go to Yard sales this spring for another dresser and a pantry cabinet if I can find them...a jelly cabinet would be nice to have also.
