Daily Check In Thread For All!!! #170

Why does Mrs. F27 have to do the snow blowing??? Just kidding. Does this mean your snow blower is old too? Just kidding again!!!

Do you have snow still? Ours is almost melted, but it is going to snow tonight. Don't you just love winter???

Have a good evening...

Hugs, Karen...

Heheheh. We're just at the northern tip of this system, and managed to avoid the heavy snow, but still had a few inches this morning. Just enough to make the commute interesting.

Mrs. F27 blows the snow cuz SHE'S THE BEST PERSON EVER! And her husband is fat and lazy, and anything that smacks of real work would probably cause him to have a heart attack. Thankfully Mrs. F27 hasn't figured out that he's worth more dead than alive. heheh

I'm so old that when God exclaimed "Let there be light", I was the one that flicked the switch.

My first car was a 1977 Honda Civic. Every cold weather start in that thing was an adventure. There was no definable process to get it going, it was more a function of finessing it until it's tiny little engine relented.

Hey Lynnwood - I think everyone should experience a true Canadian winter once in their lives. Wanna swap houses in January? I'll leave you with a full fridge, a snuggly cat, and instructions for starting the snow blower.

Okay, here's a riddle:

Q: What's the difference between winter in Nebraska and winter in Alberta?

A: One of them isn't real.

Getting a clothing allowance for working in NE and MD is a pretty sweet deal. I'd need a clothing allowance to live anywhere south of the 48th as I would have to retrofit my existing clothes with cooling vents. Clothing cooling vents - that's a thing, right? ;)

cut the canopy by half on the scooter. got jammed in chemist door, the scooter reared up and i banged a shelf. bought l.e.d lights, stick on jobs. had to bug one was bung, the other falling off. i bought a three pack, popped one on back got one on controller, one attached to the outside basket and one at the front. it has been handy. went to bunnings in it, and our bunnings is huge, and the scooter was advantageous. needede an ext cord for charger. the charger shuts off auto when batteries charged. i fixed the steering to how i like it. need to adjust seat, however me shifter is in melbourne, so i will ask a neighbour.

had 2 johnnie and ginger today. bad sick vile dreams of late. been very difficult in getting to sleep, the mirtaz has lost it's mo-jo. have arranged a skype session with shrink next friday.

keep well my friends.

F27, I expect there is a good reason you are teaching Mrs to use the snow blower, such as an emergency.. I myself shovel then John works late, sometime twice a day if it snows all Today. At 56 you learn to shovel lighter loads. Some neighbors have snowblowers, but never enough snow to use them. rarely anyway.

HT, you will get used to the scooter. HA! I refused 4 years to food shop with my Mother in law because of her lead foot. took out corner Displays, actually Yelled at people to get out of her way!
It was so embarrassing. Great for a sitcom or cartoon. NOT part of my life!
Should have know when John would not go.

Joyce, yeah those Pharaoh, made sure thier genes continued!

Off to postoffice, get a hair trim, dry cleaner with Johns jacket. That should tired me out for awhile.

Peace all.

Good Saturday Morning...
Garden club members will be trimming evergreens at my property this morning.

They use the greens for their yearlly wreath sale.
Nice to get some landscaping done with no work on my part.

Did You Know
In ancient Greece, throwing an apple to a girl was a way to propose for marriage.. If the girl caught it, that would mean she accepts

Eating 11 pounds of apples will make you gain one pound of weight

Ringo Starr appeared in a Japanese advertisement for apple sauce. Ironically his name means "apple sauce" in Japanese

So nice to hear from you, Karen.
It's been quiet here today. Guess everyone is busy preparing for the holiday. I'm going to 'skip' it this year....too much work for this gal.

I'll be glad to ship you by UPS some greens if you would like. Got a ton of 'em if the deer haven't been hungry.

A friend visited last week and brought me apples. I had to give them to my son...boo hoo...can't eat them anymore...no teeth

See you tomorrow
~ Joyce

p.s. raining here, too

Yes, get a nap, Karen
I'm ready to jump off the roof...just went to the shop to put away our ladder that was on loan to the garden club for their trim.

WELL, it wasn't there....Oh my...thought it had been stollen
to make a long story short....my son (who said he would do it) FORGOT to put it out for them. gee whiz

My husband's family is from Michigan...are you close to Detroit? One of these days if I visit them....I could visit you, too.

hi everynbe. good to see ya around joyce.

Good Morning Jamie and Joyce... And everybody else...

Snowed last night so the ground is white again. Not too cold, not damp. I think I would rather have the snow than the damp rain.

Joyce, I love chatting with you so that is good enough. But it will be nice to know if we are in the same state.

Don't know what I will do today. Sundays I try to relax. But there is much to do.

Take care all.

Jamie, I hope you are having sweet dreams right now.

Hugs, Karen...

Hello, All. I have been following along "reading" again. I so hate the term lurking. I have been really busy too. I am working two jobs now. The second is teaching English (at home from my laptop) to students in China. And I have been sick with Bronchitis/Sinus Infection and Ear Issues for about 2 months now. I finished my second round of antibiotics last week and think I may now have double ear infections, so I will deal with that tomorrow. I am so scared that one day antibiotics will not work for me.

It sounds like everybody is so busy doing holiday preparations. I get kind of lonely this time of year so I'm in denial at the moment and am just trying to catch up on very behind housework, laundry, bills, paperwork etc. while juggling work work.

Yesterday, I took my eighteen year old daughter to New Hampshire (we live in Connecticut) to look at three colleges. Did an awful lot of driving, and she saw quite a bit to think and talk about, so it was a productive day.

I need to get myself moving over here at the moment. Went to church this morning and out for breakfast with a friend. Now, I need to get focused on work. Sometimes, I'm not sure if it is my depression or just plain lazy, but I need a good kick in the butt!

It is quite cold outside. I can't believe you already have snow, Karen. I know it will be coming here soon too. But I hope it takes awhile! I hope everyone has a good day. I'll probably be checking in a lot. If anyone has any motivation to share I would love to hear it! Cass
