Long time no post homies and sorry about that but alot has gone on for the last 2 years and still going on now but just pushing thru it.

 

[keishashadow]

Brian Liv and I are not football fans but Charlie is. We watched the kitten bowl then the super bowl. I did a bunch of wings and appetizers Charlie wanted the 49ers so he was bummed.

The puppy & kittie bowls were so cute!

Welcome home StL, hang in there.

Mac - i must’ve missed tink’s post?

Welcome back StL........

You have been missed on here, it’s good to see your post this morning!!

Sending many hugs to you.....we do still look for your posts and

Yes, many hugs to you......hope things get better soon........

 

[schumigirl]

Wednesday again.......no Wednesday lunch get together today as we all met up on Monday....

Do plan to go up into the woods behind us for a ramble this morning.......just to blow the cobwebs off us. The beach is tempting too though if the sun shines. We’ll see.

Horrible storm coming this weekend for us......won’t be going far then......will batten down the hatches I think......

Apart from a walk, not much going on today........made chicken noodle soup for lunch today for Tom and I......think we may need it after a walk in the cold......

Hope your Wednesday is a good one.....

Another rainy start to the day. Dark, and wet. But hey, when the car still says 40F outside, happy only wet roads from rain. Saying we too are getting a soaking at the end of the week. Saturday may see that winter mix, before just more rain. Ack, the temps on Friday will fall throughout the day, with periods of heavy rain. Sigh. No more nicely much above average temps so far. But hey, any time above freezing, a good day for me. And woot! You know what day it is?
Yep,
That day of the week, when we all get over the hump of a Wednesday, to be sailing towards the week-end. Double woot!

Sending good thoughts to StL, I hope this year is better for you. Hugs.

Yeah, me too, did I miss Tink's post? Oh well, hey Tink! Hope all is well with you.

Bobbie, nice to see ya post. Hope Charlie is feeling better. Nice to plan some short get a ways, as I am sure all are working hard getting the house ready, and getting ready to be moving this summer. Yep, always like watching the puppy bowl. So cute.

With that tea is needed. Cool almost inside, and kinda stuffy feeling. Eh, may not even do that lunchtime walk. Depends, weather guy said clearing in the afternoon. So does that mean, right around lunchtime? Will see. Unfortunately, no walk in the woods, like Schumi, though. Would enjoy that rather than the pavement I'll be doing my lunchtime walk, if I do one today.

Hey, homies, a Wednesday is here. Hope it finds you with a smile today, and sending lots of hugs to all that need it.

Good Morning!

 

[macraven]

It’s morning time homies!
If weather predictions are correct, I need to build an ark
Ugh. Need to get groceries today

Just need to get past this day and then weather should be decent.

Vicki did not post a thread but I do waves at times when one of our homies have been away from us

How many homies are planning trips to the Darkside this year?

Someday it would be nice to have a group meet at the Darkside

 

[Charade67]

Good morning. Trying to get in a quick post before work. Not much going on around here. Dh is headed to Tampa this weekend to attend his friend's father's funeral.
Temps are dropping again and we are supposed to have rain for the next several days. Yuck.


[/QUOTE]

I lived with 5 males watching and screaming during the games in those days
Ugh

I think I would have had to leave the house.

GD hit #1 all around at meet this weekend.

Wow! Congratulations to her.

Demi L killed the national anthem,

I missed the national anthem. I'll have to search You Tube later.

One of my friends used to look in wonderment at how tidy my worktops are and wondered where I stored everything......er, I have a huge amount of cabinets and storage in my kitchen.

I am so jealous. We do not have enough cabinet space. When we first moved in we bought a cheap free standing pantry to store food, but now I'm ready to replace it with something nicer.

Wow......that was a stinker of a day........here’s to better days ahead for you.

Thank you.

I got bit by fire ants last Monday

Oh, ow! Sorry to hear that. I hope the bites have healed by now.

lol........I‘ve cleared my cabinets of more gadgets than I care to share........including pasta maker??? Sausage maker, Bread makers x 3???? spiralizer, several coffee machines (our main one is built in) donut maker, panini makers and numerous other useless things......the one gadget I do use is my ice cream maker....I’ll replace that when it gives up the ghost!

I'm with Mac. I would have kept the donut maker.
We did a huge kitchen purge a few months ago, and will probably do one again when we get around to remodeling the kitchen.

It feels weird not planning a trip this summer and kind of sad

I agree. We are planning some small trips, but I really want to go back to Orlando.

I wish I could. I would love to do a group meet.


Gotta run. Almost time for work.

 

[Disxuni]

Nice to see old friends coming back even though we haven't personally met, @ky07. I do not what it is you're going through, but keep on pushing and I hope things are getting easier for you whatever it may be.

@macraven, you guys typically have a lot of trips in September, right? It seems a lot of peeps like doing HHN that time frame, talk about the lighter crowds, and weather warm, but not as hot. However, as a Floridian it seems it's always hot, except for perhaps Jan and Feb. Maybe a little of March if we're lucky? However, it's probably paradise considering the cold weather you guys are used to so I understand it being a nice change of scenery.

I need to buckle down and work on school work after work. Didn't do much yesterday, but I have a lot to do. I need to be a good noodle! I hope all the homies have a good hump day!

Hi everybody
Sorry I haven't posted for awhile. I've been having some health issues and life in general has been very challenging lately.

I have been reading along every few weeks and playing catchup.

Welcome back to ky! Hope things get better for you

Shout out to Carole, mac, keisha, Lynne, robo, Bobbie, disxuni, Charade, monyk, pumpkin, sue and anyone else I missed.

Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday

 

[Disxuni]

@tink1957 I know it's easier said than done, but I hope that you're getting better and I hope things are either slowly working out, or will work out eventually for you. It's nice to hear from you.

 

[Lynne G]

Oh Tink, sending good thoughts your way. Nice to see you are still here, though.

Dix, hope the rain goes away for you, some more park times. And yep, Fall trip is on my schedule.

Rain has seemed to stop, for now, and gray day. More rain to come though, as later in the day, and through the night. Ah, Mac better send the ark this way.

Tea, why yes, and ooh, heater may be turned on, still cool feeling inside. Sigh. Is it lunchtime yet?

 

[macraven]

Hey Vicki, so glad you came “home”
You have been missed here

Hope things in your life improve for your health
How are your kids doing?

Group meets have always been fun.......HHN is always so much easier to meet up in the parks as most are there at some point.....

We do have a huge kitchen. It was an old farmhouse style one but we added a huge open plan extension, it’s like two kitchens in one, but it works. And yes, lots of cabinet space was my first essential. Under floor heating was my second.....I get cold feet!! So yes, I can understand the want for more space.

We don’t eat a lot of doughnuts, so we used it once. And the thing was huge.......deep fat fryer was another we got rid of......never used it.

Hope you don‘t need that ark!!! My mum has had rain where she is and she’s fed up with it........I told her not to send it down to us! Enjoy that tea...always nice.



Well, didn’t go for a walk after all.......it was so cold. And as I’m still stuffed up we decided not to bother. I had some writing to do that I had been asked to do. So I stayed inside and enjoyed our newly decorated office and finished what I had to do.

So, chicken piccata for dinner tonight.......not my husbands favourite dish, but I love it!! He’ll eat it though......he’s just not a fan of dishes with lemon. I’m doing it with buttered (not so healthy) roast potatoes.......Kyle is having chicken mac n cheese......I did make double of that in case Tom really doesn’t enjoy the chicken......as I make it very lemony.......I’m not all bad!!

Supposed to be going to the pub quiz tonight......but giving it a miss....quiet night again. Not a bad thing in the colder weather....

 

[tink1957]

Thanks for the welcome back everyone

The kids are doing well, thanks mac. Just this week they surprised me with a very early birthday present of tickets to the Rod Stewart concert in August. My first concert was Rod and 3 Dog night when I was 13. The last time I saw him in concert was the late 70's.

We're expecting some bad weather late tonight and into tomorrow...I'm so ready for sunshine after all the rain lately. After years of just patching up the roof we finally have roofers coming next week to replace it and do repairs to the sheetrock etc....hope it stops raining long enough to get it done.

 

[macraven]

Vicki
Such sweet kids you have !

Ticket to Rod Stewart concert in August
Sounds like fun for you

Hope no rain for you tomorrow so the roof can be done
I remember the last time you had a patch job for it

I’m about 90 minutes from you and we had a hard rain around 11:30 today
Tonight another round of heavy rain for us

No complaints from me about it as it’s not snow

LOVE Rod Stewart!!!

I had checked his tour dates for this year, but he`s in Tampa in August......darn it....so we miss him again!! You`ll remember when he was with the Faces too!!!

His greatest hits CD was one of my Christmas gifts this year....got it on the chip for the car immediately!!! I didn`t know you liked him.......

Good luck with the roof....weather can affect work like that badly....



So, it was one for chicken piccata tonight......it was too lemony for Tom, so him and Kyle ate the chicken mac n cheese. I thought the lemony taste was perfect! For me

Just to add insult to injury I had made lemon sorbet for dessert.......he did enjoy that though.

I`m full.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Finally getting a chance to check in!!! I've been reading and start a post...then more work comes across my desk...or it's super late and my eye lids are propped open with tooth picks

The day is just getting worse. Dh just learned that the father of a close friend of his died today. He had brain cancer, so we knew it was coming. It just happened a little sooner than expected.
Then I opened Facebook to find that my favorite author, Mary Higgins Clark, also died today. She was 92.
In an odd coincidence today is also the day I lost my father back in 2002.

Charade...I'm sorry to hear about all the sad news. That is quite a bit of bad news to hear in one day. I'm glad your DH is getting a chance to attend the funeral. You and your family have had a hard year with many people passing and getting sick. I hope it gets better for you. I also hope you don't get the weather predicted as well. That doesn't help sad moods for sure.

With that, tomorrow, we will be married 28 years.

Lynne....that is an awesome accomplishment!!!! We are celebrating 27 years this summer...and it just so happens that on our anniversary weekend...my favorite man Keith Urban is playing at a weekend outdoor festival where the DD lives!!! I already told the dh that we will be going - no excuses lol. I may need bail money that weekend lol

Decorator was here today and is almost finished one of the guest bedrooms......it’s looking good!!

What a great way to get rid of those winter blah's. It is always sooo nice to have a room refreshed in it's look. I'm always redecorating rooms in the house while on a shift at Pier1 lol. I think that's why I still haven't quit yet I love playing with all the pretty things, planning our my own rooms with items from the store, and the other women I work with are such a great group of gals, and I have had some great new friends while working there.
I sure hope your weather front moving in is not as bad as predicted. This time of year is the hardest!!!! Everyone is tired of the cold, dark and snow/rain and just need it to end. We can't control it...but that doesn't stop us from complaining about it

GD hit #1 all around at meet this weekend. Worth the 10+ hours spent out of my Saturday topped off with sliding home on highways in snow squall.

What a great accomplishment!!!! And winter driving I'm tired of driving on less than great roads. I miss hearing about your fine feathered friends. I hope they are tolerating the cold weather this winter.

Long time no post homies and sorry about that but alot has gone on for the last 2 years and still going on now but just pushing thru it.

Hi nice to meet you. I hope that whatever path you are walking right now, starts to get a little brighter.

I need to buckle down and work on school work after work. Didn't do much yesterday, but I have a lot to do. I need to be a good noodle!

Disxuni....this going back to school gig is HARD!!!!! I just started this week...and OH MY DOG!!! lol I think I have myself a little organized now. And seem to be settling in and finally getting some things accomplished on it....but GEEZE...it is different to use my brain again lol I hope you can get some work completed this week.

Hi everybody

Hi Tink

Things have been busy. Just trying to get into the swing of my courses this term. My brain in NOT used to thinking like this. So it is taking me some time to complete some of my work. But I'll keep slugging along and keep working....it is starting to come back now.
The dh is finally over his man cold and feeling better. Now hopefully the weather starts to warm up again. It was actually above freezing last weekend...then of course the temps drop again. I just find this time of year hard. Our life so far in 2020 has been exceptionally busy, but I'm finding I'm still struggling with the cold, dark grey skies, and of course the snow and ice. But, we are on the upside now with the days getting longer and the sunlight ( when we actually see that beautiful shining sun ) has that bright light tint to it again - if that makes sense. The daylight in spring and summer is sooooo different from the daylight in late fall and winter.

I hope everyone else, is staying happy and most importantly healthy

Hi Mac, Sue and anyone else I may have missed!!!!!

 

[ky07]

Thanks for the welcome back homies.
it's been a rough 2 years cause DW mother passed away and since the house we lived in was hers the bank wouldn't work with us to keep it but luckily dw's credit was good enough to get a home loan and we bought a townhouse and a month after we moved our 2 little dogs passed away and just as we thought things were getting better my mom almost died from a anurism rupturing in her stomach and she made it through emergency surgery only to find out she has lung cancer.
