Good Morning CGs!
So the first week of 2010 will be coming to a close. How is everyone doing so far? No real changes for me. Just business as usual. I suspect it's the same for most. A lot of folks make a big deal out of it, but I haven't really seen anything different than day to day life. We got a couple of inches of snow last night. It's currently let up, but the radar map is one giant blob over all of Chicagoland. Supposed to get 5-8 more inches today. We'll see what happens. The worst part is the idiots around here who've grown up with the stuff their whole life but when it comes to driving they act like they've never seen it! I don't like snow  Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew |

Last night was a repeat of the night before. We get a two day reprieve then back to a freeze watch. The cold weather I can handle. It's the potential impact on our finances that can get me roused. I have a whole bunch of stuff that needs attention but we overspent a little on our recent cruise. Once I get that square I can start back up on fixin this and fixin that. Fortunately it is nothing urgent, just stuff that needs to be addressed. Going out to the nursery today to fix a few things out there. The wife has a booth at a festival this weekend so I have to break out the duct tape and bailing wire and fix a part of the frame of her tent. Maybe WD the parts that are supposed to move. |

Don't sweat it, Tommy - when you get to the end of the line, I'm going to bet that you won't be thinking, "Gee, I wish I would've fixed more things and not spent so much on that cruise." ;-)
We are getting some more snow here, too - the damned snowbanks are already hard to see over at intersections. Had a delightful commute this morning - the tone was set by the presence of an upside-down minivan in the median as soon as I got on the freeway. Have a good day, everyone! |

Weather dudes are prdicting maybe 2" of snow here. Some schools decided yesterday to close for today, most of them are having 1/2 days. Snow and Georgia just do not mix. The county snow plow is a pickup with two guys with shovels in the back.

On January 19, 1977, Miami received its first and only recorded snowfall. It only consisted of extremely light flurries, but this Blizzard of 1977 is the only snowfall our fair city has ever seen. Rare snowfall .... |

My last week was eventful to say the least. The BF that I got rid of has already moved in with his new woman he's been cheating on me for the last two or three months with. He's been back here some, but then I found out what I thought was us working on things, he's been with her too. So.... I told her husband who lives the next street over. She's been lying to him, while living with him and seeing my BF. My BF had no idea. He told her he lived somewhere else not with me - BS, anyway, all hell broke loose all over, her husband kicked her out (they were reconciling he thought). What a damn mess. I have decided to never ever get involved in a relationship again. EVER.
I also went and purchased some home office furniture and chair so I can work at home on the projects that I have without having to sit at the end of the dining table or the sofa. Got all that sorted out, put together and going. And, one of you sent some snow down here that I really wish you'd come get back. I need to go do things and can't get out. It's supposed to be zero the next few nights here. |

Colder than cold today. Not complaining though, as some of you are in much worse shape than us.
It's been an eventful week for me. lots of work to do and stuff I've gotten done. Have a B-ball game of my grandson, to go to this evening. Tomorrow I'm headed for KC to get the daughters car and haul it back to get it fixed and need to be back Saturday evening to work a B-ball game here. So 900 miles in less than 24 hours....and work on her house while I'm there. |

Hey tee. Not right now but a little later this year as you get closer to retirement, I'd like to demonstrate some uses of a common word found in the Websters dictionary. That word is .....
NO!..... I know you don't use it very often but it takes practice, practice, practice. |

Yep, the perfect stuff that Jerry Springer episodes are made of. I have some years in this and have reflected and saw that there is a lot of emotional and mental abuse and such, and the bad definitely outweighed the good by a long shot. I do plan to seek counseling as I already had several losses, trials and tribulations this year nevermind having this foul vile mess happen to me at the holidays along with all else there is going on, and him have the nerve to be in my home and blame me, as he was looking for excuses to cover his shit. He was even lying the last day it all broke loose. How nuts is that?
I did thannk her for ridding me of a problem I needed rid of a long time ago, and his mother even told me he was a con artist and I didn't need it. If you all knew the stories you'd have fried hair by now. Some very vile and brazen stuff, use and abuse and all that. I have been nice and kind to the last man. I am done. |
