Whichever one of you sent me the cold and snow you can come collect it back. I would like a refund of my warm and sun. Winter don't fit me.
anywho, the snow missed me but flurries got everyone else around.
The trip to Mississippi was nice, although it was cold, ugly and rainy there. Naturally as I got up saturday morning to all that mess, I was sent a photo of 'back home' with 70* temps and bright sunshine. Figures.
Brought home some nice glassware and just enjoyed my friends mom and dad, they're a hoot. Didn't feel good all day yesterday so hardly got off the couch.
Hope everyone has a great day

Lose things constantly. Can't find crap that's in my purse. I've dumped it out on the couch and nope. Hand it to BF who promply pulls out whatever it was that I was in search of.
Lose keys and crap in the fridge. Get up, still asleep, getting ready for work and then I manage to get locked out fo the house. Look for hours and ther sits my keys in the fridge when I apparently went in there to get tea

Morning all.
Dreary here again, colder temps on the way. Some are hollering for snow, I hope it falls on deaf ears with Mother Nature.
Also hoping for a slow day at work. I was so asleep when my alarm went off my face is still numb. It'll be noon before I think I'd be properly awake. Supposed to have a boat come in, kinda hoping he waits until Tuesday.
Make it a good one y'all

I see the way they do retirees/older peeps as very unfair. My cousin in the nursing home is on medicaid and STILL has to shell out 187/mo for a 'supplement policy'. Medicaid supposedly pays all her room and board but she only gets $40/mo of her own money no matter what she has coming in. I write monthly checks to the home for just over a thousand. Ripoff from hell.
Just make sure whatever you get y'all get the policy that covers places like nursing homes and such.
Foggy again this morning but that cleared and gave way to just dreary. Warm though, 68 which has all of us afraid a tornado will drop out any moment.
My boss' kid is a Freshman at Harvard. He just emailed me to do a project for him. Seriously? I think I'll investigate gettin myself into there if they can do that crap and get by with it.

Happy Birthday! Don't forget to get celebrations in amongst all that work.
I'm back at the office today, would give bout anything to be home in bed. Last several days I've not slept for crap. Doc put the "M" word in my head maybe that's it. Who knows. I have a 32oz coffee sitting here that ougth to get me through the day .
Foggy as I've ever seen it here this morning, misty, cold, just plain ole ugly out. Tornadoes and stomrs/flooding over the weekend but we missed tornadoes in our area, thank God. Flooding wasn't as bad as it could've been, commodes didnt' work for a full day. Out came the camping toilet.
Hope everyone has a great day

Mawnin
Cloudy off and on here today, rain moving in tonight/tomorrow. Lots of it. Why can't it got to Austrailia where they need it? Never understood Mother Nature.
Hoping for not a lot to do today, feel like I need to sleep for a week straight. Got woke up off and on till 1 this morning and by then I'm awake, forget about sleeping any. I guess I dozed off sometime as I had some weird dreams and feel numb all over still.
Tommy, I have a friend that's 68 that finally got his VA and gets a small monthly check, never too late. Just because you feel that someone "deserved" it more than you, your heart was in the right place when you served, so take what you're owed. Just my .02.
Hope everyone has a good day

Tommy I might've suggested already but have you tried cbd oil? Either sublingual or topical?
More of the 'beneficial' part without being high.
also, if you plan to smoke perhaps try a mix or different strain?
This explains the major difference between sativa and indica. Strains combine the two in different percentages.
Also, consider buying bulk and creating your own canna oil or canna butter. I've not made butter but the oil is very easy to make and can be used mulitple ways

I'd give bout anything to live there and not have to deal with cold and rain/snow crap.
Sunny here and 50 due. I should've taken off today and came in Friday. We're due a ton of rain starting Friday. I need to get preventative measures in place to keep water out of the pool house and shop. Hope it doen't cause the pool liner to float again. That was a nightmare.
Carry on...

I can't stand people for the most part and if you have noisy little kids and barking dogs I sure do not want that living next to me to interrupt my peace and quiet. Downside is we bought a house in the wrong place. Every time we went to check it out day or night, all was peaceful. He works a ton and I am busy as well, we rarely get to go places. No "real" fly away vaca in 30 years for me, never for him I don't guess. Small beach trips here and there. So - our backyard is our sancutary. We were unaware there were 4 small homeschooled kids next door and now they've added 3 barking dogs. Plus a basketball goal that is right up against my fence and a motor home that hasn't moved in 4 years. This house had everything we were looking for all within our budget. I'm already ready to get out. And, "town" is moving closer. There's been a bunch of businesses pop up along the previously deserted access road that goes by our house and now the state highway dept is planning to widen the other road that goes around us. More traffic. And it's a small redneck town full of low-iq people as it is who think loud mufflers equate to pecker size. I feel sorry for those on the widenened highway who stand to lose 30ft of their yard tho. If you buy a property it all should be yours period, not where they can continually take 'easements' until they're literally at your front door. These people have been here 60 years with nice large homes. Our area used to be "out in the country"

Nice car indeed and pretty young lady also!
Sunny and decent here today, but "flooding' due to start Friday. Said up to 4". We've had worse but I'd rather not have any of it. Seemed like it was a busy last few days on my end but nothing was accomplished.
Had a guy to come look at our kitchen sink for replacment and met with nothing but negativity before it even began. What's the deal with not being able to get anyone reliable anymore for anything?
Hope everyone has a good day

Gmawnin
Working on my off day to make up for the holiday. In the middle of two wraps and a couple other odd and end things up here. Should (hopefully) be nice and quiet since nobody expects me to be here.
Rainy and gloomy again today and cold. Perfect day to have stayed in bed. I could've just come in Monday but that day is supposed to be decent so I don't want cooped up in an office on a nice day.
Just a few more hours till the weekend

What's a "blanco" sink?
Ours is molded to the countertop somehow, and it's a light cream color. I want a black one and wouldn't mind a stainless strip in the center for pots/pans damage control. I'd prefer it to look like it does now but if it can't I'm all good with a double-bowl copper front or whatever kinda thing
I just dont' knwo where to start

Tee, they all know you do a great job so they come to you first. Reminds me I need a (fake) granite person as I'm in need of a new kitchen sink.
Gris - my supper consisted of black eyed peas, cornbread in the cast iron skillet, seasoned collard greens, mashed potatoes, gravy. I assume it's a nationwide thing, not sure
Turned out pretty good tho
Back at work today, this feels like a dreary Monday. It's rainy and cold outside and will be tomorrow as well. Ick. Good day to stay home and sleep

Happy new year! Me and gal pals held on till about 2. Enough snacks to outfit an army easily. We left it all there so the adult son should be fed for a few days. Tried to nap but ineffective. Did manage to get in the traditional New Year’s Day feast however

That tree needs some britches on. At least around here. It's 30 on my way to work this morning. Was told we weren't staying all day. I had a customer text me a half hour before my alarm today to see if I was gonna be here. Lawn service fleet truck (tanker, sprayer, etc) brand new says it's different and I need to measure it. Well, there goes the entire day I'll be here, those are a PITA.
Get your likker store trip outta the way and get settled someplace - it's gonna be cold and the crazies will be out.

Cold here today but at least the sun is out. Had the six week foot surgery check up, thumbs up there. Do what I want but be cautious and use good judgement. Swelling should start to go down now he says
Prayers continued for you and your family John
Tommy have fun!
My out of town company has been diverted, he’s sick so they’re headed on home.
I plan to have a girls night at a friends

Tommy I’m so sorry Sue had to endure that. I can’t imagine how the other lady felt either. Broken heart from her husbands loss and her son demolishing any other memory. Wtf no words
Cooker here and still raining got all the hristmas tooj down . I have a couple of things left but I’m tired. Been a long day
My Monday night company will be here New Year’s Eve night instead forcing me to cancel my plans with my gal pals. And then I’ll have more cleaning to do ...
carry on

Nice pic there Gris
I like a good flavorful stout myself. One called wake up dead and dragons milk is another. I like the hard pour or nitros. I’d like to get into brewing my own
Ugly day here again , still have a bit of the crud. More sleep required. House guests due in Monday.
Y’all have a great day

Thoughts and prayers are with you tomorrow, John
Nice offer to build that box, Tee
Doc appt today then grocery shop then over to aunts to debone her ham so she can make beans then home. Entertainment for the evening is watching the robot vac “learn” the house floor plan. Dog is quite interested.
We should cherish every day we are given. My last 30 years have flown by I feel like I’ve missed out on a lot

Nice and warm here, bout 71 and intermittent clouds. Rain rolling in later they say and getting cooler. Was hoping it would hold out for a nice weekend like last couple days but it is what it is.
Slow day at work, doctor tomorrow and Monday both.
Have a good day y'all

We're so stuff from the food we can't fasten our blouse.

Pa in the recliner and me on the couch,
We're in our PJs still, just being a slouch

Leftovers on the counter, pie in the fridge
Booze in the cabinet, think I'll have just a smidge

Our heads all hurt, we all need a nap
The kids are too loud, bout to get out my strap

We're gripy and grumpy and full as a tick
I think the pie granny brought made me sick.

Back to work tomorrow, I dread it like heck
I might just call in and fake a broke neck

So very sorry for your loss, John. Prayers for comfort, peace and understanding.

Good afternoon -
at the office today but the guys tell me we're leaving at 3. Have a party at Arron's family at 6:30, small snacks, we have ours put together already. My bunch at 1 tomorrow.
Not sure when the nursing home here is having their dinner, nobody could tell me yesterday. I got an invite for turkey day but not Christmas. We'll take her a plate and gifts anyway after my bunch is done.
Hope everyone has a relaxing day.
I could not imagine 100 people in my house. Just nope.

Good afternoon. Been to the nursing home to visit. She’s mad. They didn’t get her up in time and she missed the Christmas church Service. Aggravates next too. They have had some turnover I’m told so new ones don’t know.
That cheese wrapper thing is for real. Even looks like our dog, Onyx. She’s a 14-year old black lab with white chin
I hear the couch calling me for a nap -

Gris- hilarious lol

Not much here today, slept till nearly 10, gathered some stuff from the store, found out we’re due at Arron’s family Christmas Eve night . We both work that day. My fam Christmas Day.
Feelin kinda blinky today so have just laid around.
Managed to get some solstice sunset pics on the phone

Found this on a friend's FB page:

Twas the vote for impeachment and all through the House
The Dems called him a liar, a scoundrel, a louse
The witnesses were questioned, their answers unclear
But the Dems were incensed and just didn’t care

They made up some stories, they ignored many facts
They misled with their words, while they pressed their attack
And Schiff with his bug eyes, and Nandler with his naps
Pushed their agenda, while looking like saps

Then Articles were crafted with no criminal base
And passed unanimously by every Dem in the place
The Republicans played a part in this farce as well
By attending and legitimizing what the Dems tried to sell

And out on the lawn at a White House presser
There was a lady reporter, so Trump stood to address her
He led with a smile, and the gleam in his eye
Made it clear to the press corp he wouldn’t be shy

He was calm and sincere when he called it a scam
All he wanted was justice and to expose this Dem sham
“So on to the Senate, let’s see where this leads.
I’ve done nothing wrong, I’ve made no misdeeds"

And he smiled and he waved, and he turned then to leave
But turned back with a twinkle, touched his head, said “believe”
Then quick as a flash the names were there on his lips
Each with a nickname, now familiar old quips

Now, Nancy, now Adam, now Jerry and Val
Now Sheila, and Eric, and Maxine you old gal
There’ve been lots of Bills, so you could have passed plenty,
But instead you’ve now ruined your chances for ‘20

So just bring it on, let’s get this thing done
But remember this day, when in November I’ve won
It’s been a fight for three years, and you’ve landed no blows
So I can weather five more... I might have to, who knows

Still history will show I accomplished a lot
Despite the resistance your Party has wrought
So embellish your stories, cast me a villain
I’ll be in the Oval Office, smiling and chillin’

Working today to make up for not being here when Christmas comes. We all might be Christmas eve not sure yet.
Day already shot to hell. Pint sized trucker dude came in wanting to talk about fleet decal designs and asked for the "book to pick them out in". I tried to explain that I do everyone's custom no two are alike, if he wanted the plain style certainly I can do those as well, his choice. However there's no physical book to simply pick out "a", "b", "c" and so forth. Might've been 15 years ago when things were more simply created and all the custom possibilities didn't exist. Everything is digital now. I was trying to hand him my card and ask what he had in mind, if he'd seen something he liked or had an idea or did he have a logo already or need one, etc.? He got mad as hell stormed out and called me a rude smart ass. WTF? I'm a smart ass simply because he doesn't understand the process or want to listen and let me help him? I'm so confused. I followed him to give him a card anyway and again apologied that there simply isn't a "book" with A, B, C, in there as everything is custom and he hollered and yelled at me. FK that. I don't need it.
This is why I hate people.
Hope everyone has a better day -

Never have I been more embarrassed by Democrats. I used to be a Democrat, came from a Democratic family, was a very tiny contributor. Seems somewhere along the lines, they changed party values.
Oh well, Impeachment is a fancy word for accountability.
I've been written up at work too FFS.
Sunny out here and a warming trend continues. Should be quite nice this weekend, can't wait. Hoping all my shopping is done, now to get the aunt and cousins to agree on dinner.
Carry on

I want that in my itty bitty concrete pond. That's beautiful!

I echo that sentiment about our Presdient being not a lawyer nor a politician. He's an ass for sure but if the job gets done, swamp gets drained and crap gets straightened up, I"m good. There isn't a POTUS in the past who hasn't done some kind of shady sh*t.
Nice and sunny today, warming trend on the way. 61 and sunny due for Saturday. I can't hardly contain myself. I have plans to be outside either clearing dead plants from the flower beds or in the hammock with an adult beverage.
Hoping for a slow day at the office, exept for the radio people will be here doing the live remote. That's over next door on the tint side though, I'm here in the graphics suite all to my peaceful self.
Carry on Gurus!

Howdy, hope everybody's day and last few have went well. The Missouri folk arrived Friday afternoon and it's been go, go go every since till about 3:30 yesterday. They wanted to get out, have breakfast "out" and go to town to visit a couple of our friends here. Of course, naturally it was pouring rain, dreary, gray cold and just ugly. We were froze, wet and tired. They dropped me off, we loaded them up and off they went to the next stop for a couple days then home. We had a great time and I miss them a lot. Found out one of the 'friends' had passed and I didn't know, didn't see the obit. Went looking and it wasn't published in local paper. I knew him from working at the body shop but that was it. Sad tho. anyway, sun has poked out today and it's warming up, supposed to be really nice this weekend. I plan to catch up on my sleep and get my house back under control. Sounds like you all have had plenty to keep you busy.

Constipated? No wait I read that wrong. Generates similar results at times.
I’ve been trying to tidy up the house, get a bill or two paid and some snacks bought and pot of beans made. Have my body shop friend I worked for and his wife due any minute from Tebbetts, Missouri. Figger they’ll be hungry and in need of beer or coffee.
Y’all have a good un

The "do not attempt" of the day:

Mornin all
I'm with Gris I think in that the older I get it's only a couple of us in our family actually enjoy visiting and the stories of the ones who've passed. The rest? Just want that present. I get invited to baby and wedding showers I think simply because they know it's another gift coming. I sure do miss all of us gathering at my grandmaw's house during the holidays.
Cold this morning but sunny supposed to be around 50. Car was barking at me "Ice possible" but didn't see any. It also needs a new passenger door speaker. Tried to listen to some of my head-bangin and the door drownded it out.
BF tells me that the legit GM one from his work is over $200. I'm not about to do that. Need to pick one up on esteal or somewhere.

Good morning - cold here too, twenties during the night, 34 as I was driving in an frost everywhere. Due to be 47 and sunny. Hoping for a slow day at the office and to be left alone. Not feeling too hot. I need to do some grocery shopping after work for the weekend guests, it's also one of their birthdays so he likes scratchoffs. He'll get some of those in a card. I'll get her some also since her bday was just a month ago. Need to get some Christmas shopping done too but that might end up happening Monday.
Have a good day y'all and stay warm

good morning - cold as heck here today. Was nice Friday, Saturday we went all around to the flea markets I'd like to visit. got a few fleas not too many. Nursing home Sunday then after it began. We have guests coming this weekend, my body shop friend and his wife are driving in from Tebbetts, MO. The room for them happens to be my junk room so I set about clearing it all out, redoing, straigtening the closet, etc. That was most of my afternoon, after already h helping Arron bag 30 bags of leaves from the front yard. Still not done there. That evening, I redid everything in the dining room, then a few other things. Yesterday started at 9am with full deep house cleaning (needed since I got behind with foot surgery) and cousin came to help. Floors vacuumed, swept, moppeed, junk thrown away, stuff put into yard sale pile, walls wiped down, everything dusted, rugs shampooed, the entire works. I took her back home at 4, then I came home and finished in the kitchen, then went out and totally went through the garage. Came back in, cooked supper and I finally sat down with a bourbon at 10. I hurt all over.
The saga continues tonight with laundry and a few other odd and end things. Pool house and yard is for later.
Have a good Tuesday!

Absolutely beautiful day today so I was outside instead of inside cleaning. Slept in then went to town to goof off. Same deal lined up for tomorrow.
Have a good evenin

Tee your evening yesterday sounds like literally every single thing I try to do during the course of a day.
Cloudy, cooler and dreary here today and will be the whole weekend. Depression will surely spike. Hints of snow Tuesday, sure hope that falls through. And falls someplace else.
I'm calling it done for my day, although I'll stay here to take calls or walk ins. Working on a pool company's fleet and cannot seem to make them happy. Owner wants one thing, his 'design lady' that works for him wants another. Not sure why she's called that, she can't do design work she says. WTF? Mkay. well, whoever it is that I have to please, let that be the only person I have to deal with. Simplify things.

This is the post that I referenced above for the cabinet, the page I saw it on was a group I"m in (Mid Century Modern). It was shared from a Habitat for Humanity site. The HFH site post links the creator's FB page as well:

https://www.facebook.com/ComoxValleyReStore/posts/1756750481124827

Don't dig snakes no matter what they are. Lucky she didn't get bit, would've required a change in pants for me after however.
Tommy, I just saw that hutch posted on FB. It was a hutch that was a two-part unit they hung one and put the other on the floor and did to match other cabinets. I love the idea. I'm needing a small china type cabinet currently and this is a good idea for me provided what I find I can get finished to match the rest. Otherwise it would have to be a unique stand-alone piece.
Nice out here today, currently in the middle of a radio live remote but that's for the tint side, not me so all is quiet over here.
Have a good day!

For your Christmas wish list:

Snowstorms are like snakes, a good one is somewhere else.
Sunny here today and a bit warmer. naturally, since Im in the office. Turning out not to be the slow day I'd hoped for. Feel like I'm getting a cold. No time for that.
Got in and out of the foot surgeon's office yesterday pretty quick, stitches out and no boot (week early) provided I'm 'safe' with it. Rocking the Birkenstocks with socks today.
Hope everyone has a good day

You need a drink, muscle relaxer, steak and a nap after all that

Winds here have finally died down. Strong enough to blow your hair off your head yesterday. Sunny at least. Not today tho but it’s warmer. Of course the nice days start tomorrow when I’m back at work. Sitting at the foot surgeons office waiting on my turn for an X-ray. Supposed to get stitches out. Would love to be rid of this storm trooper boot while I’m at it. Fingers crossed

Good evenin. Rained a ton here too and then got hot and humid now raining again. Some winter storm moving through. Finished getting heist mad stuff up today except ornaments on the tree. Mite do that tomorrow. Headed to the nursing home in the morning to outcall hers up and take her a bday gift. She’s 84 today

Cool here today but storms rolling in tomorrow with a temp rise. Tried to sleep in today but some noise woke me. Power had been out and everything coming back on jarred me from my nap. Have all the Christmas tubs down from the attic and I guess start that tomorrow. Intended for today but some compute updates took up half my day. I absolutely would not make it as an IT person. Already had supper and moved some furniture to make room for the tree thinkin I’ll sit out the rest of whatever the evening Conjures up

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. What’s left of it anyhow. I hope everyone ate well, farted loud and napped good.
Got up and finished my cooking, we loaded up and went to aunts house. While I was cooking Arron decided to get at the back decking area with the loud leaf blower. He figures everyone always ruins his quiet time so he’d ruin theirs today. The hood appeared vacant however. Rained some today made for good naps. Took food to her for supper at the nursing home and picked up the heat/air window unit we bought for her that they’ve apparently ruined.
House cleaning commences tomorrow.

HAR! Just get both and make him all around happy!

that sounds ok till you have a woman like me at home who will go to Home Depot and buy your 'options' and have them waiting on you so you can fix it while I finish my laundry, dinner cooking, landscaping work and other household chores lmao

^^^^ Right!
Best wishes for Sue's eye surgery recovery. Blood coming out of there would freak me right straight out.
Sunny here today finally but about 15 degrees cooler I guess from the rain. Headed home tonight to get the cooking started. Making a cranberry salad with berries, pineapple, nuts, etc, then my mammaw's cheesecake, some lil smokies with maple crown and bbq beans in a vintage crock, and my swiss/parmesan cheese bread.
Hopefully I can get some cleaning of the house worked in there as well and get the three cast iron skillets cleaned and reseasoned. Reaper will be in the next town over trying to assemble a frame-swapped GMC truck. I helped some Sunday but frame horns were bent and nothing would fit.
Have a great pre-turkey day!
