    I am watching our weather forecast as I write.  It is supposed to be 66 today.  So funny "We mightt be seeing a chance of rain tonight, possibly raining tomorrow with the chance of rain tapering on Thursday morning, maybe later".  How's that for nailing it down?

    Sounds like your weather guessers and my weather guessers went to the same school Meece.

    "We'll be in the 40s this weekend" - NOT

    "We'll only have a couple of inches of snow" - NOT

    "The worst of winter is over" - ROFL

    Today he also said "one model says we'll get rain from this front, and the other model says we won't".  That's why he's the weatehrman, not the meteorologist, but he does get his info from one.

    We have at least one meteorologist at each of our four news stations and more than one university in this state (including the one I'm working at) that have Meteorology programs and they still can't get it right.  Glad my docs don't "guess" this poorly!

    Isn't it funny that we still rely on them even though they are not very accurate?

    Hi MeeceSmileI will report from the sunny south. We are in the middle of our Mardi Gras season and it is beautiful weather for the parades. The highs are in the 70s here in Mobile,AL. I think tomorrow I might even go to the beach for the day.

    a day at the beach, lord that sounds good. We in Western New York won't be seeing that for months.  Today we have peeks of sunshine and a high of 29, no winds, no snow.  This is what we call a mild winter day.  My grandson was determined to wear shorts today, but his mom won, he's in jeans.  He is a glass half full type of guy.  Karen

    My youngest son (he'll be 20 on Thursday), made a bet with 2 buddies that they could wear shorts every day for their entire high school freshman school year.  Whoever accomplished this got $10.  The buddies didn't make it past January and my child (I'm so proud) made it.  Through inches of snow and below zero wind chills!  He even wore shorts to church every week and my choir got quite a kick out of it!  Kids!

    It is still Siberia here -6 Farenheit but it is the wind that is positively howling outside. It is ironic that women in Florida are having hot flashes and I am having cold chills. We really need to trade places.

    imarybell:  right you are about hot flashes, I was having them last night. 

     suzette:  my youngest son did that one year although we lived in Florida, he wore shorts everyday.

    shelia:  glad everything is safe.

    Meece:  they said we had a small percentage chance of rain today--rained all morning long. 

    mslorith:  I'm from Louisiana and always miss Mardi Gras--enjoy the parades.

    Thanks suzwesSmile. Im still hesitant about getting in the Gulf of Mexico after the oil spill, but our leaders say its safe. Ive been so sick from chemo, I look forward to just hanging out on the beach and clearing my mind. I have to have surgery next.

    Even if you don't get in the water, the lulling sounds of the oceans waves breaking on the beach is so ralxing.

    suzwes, I'm not even going to share that story with my grandson. He will undoubtedly think of it in his own time and follow in your son's steps.  It is pretty ironic that I thought my story was a rarity.  Karen

    I don't know how old he is Karen but it must be a teenage boy thing!

    He'll be 13 on Aril 22nd, must be a teenage boy thing.  Also when do they learn to fly under the radar as far as their behavior goes, I asked him to shovel the stairs, he shoveled a shovel's width of a path down the center of each stair, no way you could hold onto the railing while walking down.  DUH

    LOL, both my boys did that from about age 12.  The 29 year old still tries pull that on his wife (it doesn't work with her) and the 20 year old is starting to come around a little early.  I think I have a picture somewhere of the young one shoveling 6-8 inches of snow from the stairs and walk in tennis shoes, no socks, shorts and his dad's carhart (he was about 14 or 15 at the time).  Your 13 y.o. is right on target with his developmental milestones! (I'm a maternal/child nurse so I think about things like child development) Wink

    too funny, I was a teacher but I never knew of these teenage boy milestones!  Addison is always outside in his socks, I just buy black now, no sense fighting him.

    When my boys were in gradeschool they had pants that the lower portion zipped off.  they never wore the lower parts more than a few minutes.

    Whoever invented those pants knew about young boys!  I think one of my boys had pants like those.  I know my nephews did!

    I remember the tough time I had tracking don the legs so they could be washed together.

    I had 3 boys, three sizes of short/pants, and each of them had probably 3-4 pair!  What a nightmare.

    It sounds like a nightmare!  I am so glad my boys were 9 years apart with the girls in between them!  Then with the underwear and socks - how did you do it Meece?

    I used fabric paint.  I put an orange, yellow or green dot on the waistband of the unerwear, and bought different brands of socks so the knit pattern or toe were different.  I also bought a different type for their dad.  One big benefit of empty nest is not having to sort underwear and socks.

    Meece ... Brillant idea!

    I had 1 boy and 1 girl..  funny thing is ... socks, no one ever has enough socks!  Sometimes I would see my kids wearing 1 boy sock, 1 girl sock -- black and white mix up in sizes.  I continually switched things out .. over and over again.  Continues to this day.

    crew, ankle, black and white ...  ugh!

    When they wore boxers, it was all about the colors and patterns.

    It was never ending, especially since we lived out in the country and had a little farm.
