Last 2 days have been beautiful-not real warm (high 40s) but gorgeous. I think that's supposed to change tho after tomorrow
-
Hi, we got 6-8 inches of heavy snow last weekend. Today was in the 50's but supposed to drop tonight and may get a couple of inches of snow tonight. I don't mind it so much when it's on the weekend and I don't have to hurry and shovel out and then try and slide up the mountain to work.
Our banter was fun, especially when we tried to say goodnight in order of time zone.
-
So Pacific Time Zone checking to make sure everyone East of here is tucked in and served up with Sweet Dreams Tea. Eph, are you in bed yet? Just climbed in myself, but I could jump out and get you tea...
-
It's late-I'm heading to bed in a minute. Night!
-
Good morning!
Anyone seen Ainm lately?
-
Nope, but I disappeared for months so she may have been around. Perhaps she is lurking as I did and just not posting. If so, HI Ainm!
-
I haven't seen here this year at all. Hi, Ainm!
-
Looks like she signed in in December 2012 so if you are lurking Ainm, Howdy, because I certainly understand.
Night Joni and Meece!
-
PAtoo, would you explain your avatar? Looks like a Baptism in the river Jordan?
-
Yes, it is me being re-baptised in the Jordan near to the very spot that Jesus was baptised. The reason it's face first is because the river at that spot is very slippery from all the mud on the bottom. If my Pastor had tried it the 'normal' way we would all have gone down under.
My niece says looks like I'm being drowned!
-
Actually I can't see that it is face first, it just looks like he may be very strong and have a good grip on you.

Dog ears are the flaps of skin towards the armpit side created when the surgeon closes the mastectomy incision. From what have read, many women have them removed at a later time. I believe they only occur when immediate reconstruction is not done.
-
Meece, thanks for answering. I have sent the Mods a message if they want to add that to their post.
Night Joni, Meece, Ainm (whereever you are - well we hope)
-
Night Patoo! Hope that Thursday is a great day for all!
-
Good Thursday Morning, ladies. May today bring plenty of "good stuff" for all!
-
Thinking of you all. Night.
-
Thanks. I don't get on here much during the weekends. I am only on now because it is too early to get up and DH is sleeping.

Hello!!!!
Hope you are all well!
I've made enough camomile tea for everyone! -
Mmm the tea was just right, thank you. So nice to see your smiling face! How have you been?
-
Well tea was good but only lukewarm. Would make some cookies but almost bedtime and sweets keep me up.
Night Ainm, night Meece.
-
Goodnight, Patoo. Goodnight Ainm.
I'll get started earlier on getting bedtime snacks ready earlier next time.
-
Meece, where are you in CA? Some of us on the exercise thread are planning on a few days in SF next year.
-
What does "<3" mean? I frequently see it in posts but haven't a clue!
-
I am south of SF, but I could make it up there if I have the time off.
sometimes is a ♥ meaning love or compassion. (Tilt your head to the right and look at the
) -
Thanks Meece!
-
Does it work if I tilt my head to the left? lol
As we get closer I will let you know about SF. Probably sometime May/June.
-
If I know in enough in advance, I can't think why not. Even if I could come up Saturday morning and return Sunday Afternoon. I would love to meet you!
