... I can machine gun my shots a bit

I can machine gun my shots a bit too. Want to have a contest?

Oh, wait, you're talking about taking pictures. Never mind.

We were very young; Annette was just 18. This really wasn't that unusual in NC at the time. Our DS was born the next year. Also not unusual.

The unusual thing about this is that we are still married after 35 years when most are not and we are still very much in love ....... with each other!

Brack, the papers still have engagement announcements saying that the bride or groom to be will graduate from HS this year.

You could always leave something with a bartender or someone at GS.

Yes, Lisa, that too -- it's just that part of the fun is trying to hide something! We will have to do an official thing with someone as well, in case the illicit ones get swept away . . .

Happy Birthday

Crash you are a wonderful man and your sentiment was so accurate and beautiful that it would cheer anyone up, and make all of us stop for a moment and take stock. Thank you

I'm awake a little early today as my down comforter has sort of seperated from its' cover ... and I got the comforter cover WITHOUT the down blanket while my "companion" here has the down comforter sans cover (mostly)... leaving me unfairly chilled. The house heat is not programmed to come on for another hour or so. Which has me freshly awakened and somewhat chilled about 1" deeper under my skin then I'd normally like... IE ... I'm just about half frozen, fully awake but warming/thawing under a redistributed set of blankets and down quilt.

By my normal standards this leaves me unnaturally awake and online to silently surf... when I wandered across your kind reply to my posting earlier. So, I now find myself freshly compelled to draft this reply in thanks - and I'm sticking an arm out into the chill air so I can type two handed as I'm at such an angle as to normally have just one hand reaching out from under the covers to handle my cursor control pad! But just the same... while my one exposed arm is chilling in the cool air I had to say your warm remarks were sort of a nice thing to see this morning when otherwise I might find myself grumbling just a little over having the down comfortor "stolen" in the nite from me!

Imagine, all that just to say "it's freezing cold this morning, but I'm pleased my words warmed your soul the way your remarks bouyed me with a little warmth this chilly morning." Thanks... now I'm gonna wander about an' play a little more with the ketchup now... Never you mind the castupy mess thats' about to ensue... <shivering chuckles>

Sorry, you all I didn't do any quotes.

BIP, a speedy recovery for you.

I enoyed seeing all the doggie and kitty pics. Your animals are sweet.

Bobby the banana really gets around.

My mom's DH went to a transistional care center yesterday. Hopefully, she will bring him home soon.

Hope everyone has a great day..... it is supposed to be almost 70 here.

Tom, if I were you....I woud hit the button to turn the heat on now. I do that all of the time if I get a chill...

If you make 50 the first year and the second year you would have raised 100% of what you did the first year. If you made 100, you would have raised 200% of what you did the first year.

But your increase would be zero the first year and 100% the second year.

"Good Morning One and All: TGIF!!!" ​

Good Morning to and all others too. gatta ketchup.. see you later..

 

[Diznyfan68]

I don't use a high setting...just enough for 10x13s if we want them. We can usually fit 800 on a 1GB card. We end up with 1000s of pictures to go thru...not all of them are printable but you never know when you will catch that perfect shot.

This is what my DH does - takes lots and lots of pics. Then he spends some time in the evening downloading everything to the laptop and puts them into day specific folders.

 

[Diznyfan68]

Been too busy today to really post or catch up .....so if I missed anything ..Please let me know ...Also I have to say Finally a Day we didnt post 1000 posts ...Thank You Thank YOu ....

Actually, this is like the second or third time in the last week or so...

Fighting Illini Move Past Penn State Into Big Ten Quarters

Illinois prevails 66-60 in opening-round matchup.

I am working on the kitchen remodel and I have been looking at solid surface countertops. Lowe's has a big sale on them wher you get a free integrated sink. Does anyone have these and what do you think about them? DH is concerned about the spills of coffee or pasta sauce being permanent stains.

This one is in honor of our naked, Crisco covered, rugby players...


Why don't pirates play sports?

There is no AYE in team!


Now, why do I have the sneaking suspicion that our teams will resemble this joke?

526 more to go!

We interrupt your regular programming to bring you this special news bulletin...

Good Evening. Tonight we have a special report from our music reporter. Take is away Tuneful...

Hello Folks. This evening we had the 4-6 grade concert.

Actually, it wasn't that terrible. Each class performs separately - I don't think they're put together as a larger group until 7-8th grade. So, every "Music" class got up and sang, and played their recorders. The 4th grade did the simplist choral music - 3 parts. The 6th grade did a 4 part version of Scarboro Fair, accapella, that was just outstanding. the 5th grade did a very nice ring dance as part of their work.

Then there was the 5th and 6th grade winds. That one really was . On the other had - there's only so much you can do with 4 clarinets, 4 trumpets, and a drum (6th grade).

The strings classes were quite nice. This is the first year for the 4th graders on an instrument (other than recorder, which they started in 1st grade) - they did simple pieces, but acquitted themselves quite nicely. the 6th grade did Vivaldis "Spring" and was quite excellent. Rather unfortunately, there's someone in the 5th grade who can't keep time. It left the audience a bit like this.


Thank you Tuneful. And next we have our travel report. Over to you Wheels...

Good Evening. I'm very pleased to report that the family had made their precruise ressies at the HoJo. Two nights prior to the cruise for a quick peek at Disneyland. I hear the folks at the hotel were just great to work with!

Thank you Wheels. And thank You for tuning into our late evening broadcast.

We now return you to your regular programming...

Glad to hear the concert was good.

Janie!!!! Hope your day is GRRRRRREAT!!!!!!!

 

[Diznyfan68]

I parked once at Philly Airport, and I'll NEVER do it again!!! Luckily, we only live about 15 minutes from the airport, so if we can't find someone to drop us off, we call Rapid Rover airport service.

Normally we fly out of either Albany or Stewart and park the car or truck for the time we're gone. I've already decided that I'm not parking my car for 18 days in an airport so my mom and her SO are going to take us and pick us up. Now we just have to decided which airport we're flying out of - I'm guessing it might be JFK or Newark as I want to try and get a non-stop that leaves latish and isn't going to cost me an arm and a leg. Coming home from Orlando we can fly right into Stewart non-stop without a problem on either JetBlue or AirTran, or into Albany non-stop on Southwest.

Happy B-day Janie!!!
