    Congratulations, Deb!  And glad the power is back on!

    Sheila - I tried to change my avatar and got the same message.  I changed the postal code from blank to 0 and it took it and then I was able to add an avatar.  Stupid technology.

    Diane - you can't post pics on here directly - you have to insert the url once pics are uploaded somewhere like FB.  Once the pics are on FB, you can put them on here too.

    (((((((((TOL)))))))))))

    Hi! Good evening from India  to everyone ! Have you all received any mail  stating about winning prize money in pounds or Euro? I dont know whether you all will belief or not, I got a mail in my box that  I won 750,000 Euro and asked me to claim the amount by payment of documentation fee of Rs.50,000/-. I knew this is happen only in India as there are so many fraudulant people collecting money from crazy people who wants easy earning but in lost. Many self styled  DrPeter, Dr. Henry, Dr. Donald are looking for the right person who can easily fall in their prey. This is rediculous.

    Hi Raj!  So nice to see you.  Glad you aren't falling for any of those scams.  So scary. 

    After the storm, I have switched over to winter.  Today, it's so nice out, I'm way overdressed.  lol

    Still lots of clean-up to do.  DH is working.  He probably could show me how to use the chain saw, but he'd probably rather do it himself.  I feel stupid with 3 of us home and the yard not being cleaned up.  And the kids have their final band competition on Saturday which will take up most of the day so I guess the clean-up will have to wait 'til Sunday... Luckily it looks like the weather will be dry.

    We got a letter recently asking us to call because someone had left us a lot of money :)  DH did it for fun and they said our relatives in China had left us everything.  DH asked them how many Chinese people have our last name :)

    Listening to the band rehearse...final performance at New England Championship on Saturday.  I'll miss hearing them play...  I won't miss sitting in the cold, but I'll miss watching them and hearing them improve from week to week.  Sigh.

    If prolonged sitting increases my risk for cancer, can I reduce my risk if I lie down instead?

    My mother isn't all that cold - she actually said she gets hot - probably from wearing too many clothes.  It's just too bad they won't come over- they could have been hanging out with the kids all week since school was canceled. 

    DD said they cut down the trees on the islands in the parking lot at school.  Such damage - so sad.  Makes me feel sick. 

    When all the trees were weighed down with snow, I pictured all the branches breaking off.  It reminded me of when we went to Montreal in the late 90s to visit my friend and on the way up, we saw the damage that had been done by that bad ice storm in northern NY and New England and Quebec.  Just tree trunks lined the highway- the ice had broken off all the branches.  It was terrible.  Probably by now the trees have grown some new branches and it has gotten back to being a little more normal -but it takes a LONG time.  Why does nature have to be so violent?
