~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Hopefully those posting problems haven't come back to haunt you Jude, fingers crossed that everything works okay tomorrow.

I'd probably do the same dill, fix what needs immediate repair and then hold off on the rest. I might order the rest of the material to have on hand though when it comes time to fix the other ones. I'm skeptical about the Sinclair method as well, but if it helps some people then I'm all for it.

No, I don't think they'll retire out to the lake Ginger, but you never know. He hasn't mentioned that it would be their retirement home. Does it get very cold in the winter where you are now or is just the snow you don't like? And maybe being away from all your kids etc is playing on your mind more now?

I'll bet the crab was excellent Rava. Seems like any fresh seafood is way better than store bought.

Very windy and cold here this morning with a bit of rain mixed in, thankfully no snow yet though!

Good morning Cafe. Ginger, once your driving trip is over I am hoping you will be happy to be in the warmer temps. We said our goodbyes last night. I try not to make a big deal of it because there is no sense in creating drama. We will see everyone at Christmas. Hope you dont spill your diamonds as you drive and diamond paint. LOL. Dill, I remember the Sinclair method. It would not work for me. I used Rational Recovery which was so insightful. It taught me that not everyone needs AA to quit drinking. If that was the only way that worked I would still be drinking. AA is great for those that have quit drinking but it’s just not for me. It’s nice that there are more and more options regarding sobriety. Sober Tik Tok, Sober October, etc. Seems like it’s more acceptable to simply quit drinking. 20 years ago you were automatically labeled a drunk. It’s more acceptable these days to NOT drink. Good morining to all my cafe friends. 24 more please and thank you.

ABC, it does get cold here. This morning it's 25F and we can have strings of days in the teens. Occasionally, negative temps but not many of those anymore.

Jude, I hope this isn't starting back up! If you get out of MWO and go back in and go to the message box, do you see an option to select or discard last post? It's in the box where you type and is in yellow. I've used that a few times to restore a lost message. I am on my phone though so it might not show up like that on other devices.

As for diamond art-ing while traveling. I have a tray on my lap and all my diamonds are in tiny individual containers. I just do one color at a time and don't jump around. Works great. I use to crochet but my hands are cranky about that right now. With diamond art, I can switch from my right hand to left to get a break. Keeps my hands busy so I don't get bored when it's my turn to be the passenger. We usually drive two hours then swap drivers now that we no longer pull a house behind us!

Dill, is Pumpkin your only barn cat or does she have company out in the barn?

Rava, safe travels. I'm hoping for perfect flights for you!

Going to workout then home to get everything buttoned up! Cyrus knows something is up and is staying closer than he normally would. I think it had something to do with closing his catio for the season. This boy is not usually a lap cat. Had our last family meal yesterday then little sis came and took all our perishables. She left with a pretty good haul!

I'll take another day!
