~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[abcowboy]

Glad you made it there and back safely Jude, and like you said, it's a good thing you did because of the lack of help. The electric shovel works great for the smaller snowfalls, not the best for under an inch or over 4 inches. The last couple of bigger snowfalls I used the big snowblower, so I'm pretty much covered foe whatever snowfall amount we get, except the amount you guys in the east are getting lol.

Sounds like Mr Dhas his work cut out for him dill, at least he has the tractor and front end loader. He'll have to dress warmly though if the tractor doesn't have a cab. Hopefully they'll have to roads plowed so you can make it to your appointment today.

I have no idea how I'd deal with that kind of snow Mulburry! Even 8 - 10" is enough for me to clear away.

Nothing wrong with a pj day Peachie, might as well be relaxed if you're going to indoors all day. I never had any sisters, just 3 brothers and two of them have passed. My remaining brother (the youngest of us) lives about an 8 hour drive away so we don't get to see each other often, but stay connected via our phones.

Sounds like you had a good day yesterday Rava, in all ways. Good job!

I never walk 3 miles even with 2 good legs Ginger lol. You'll be back to normal before you know it.

[Peachie]

Hi everyone tonight. It's 7.52pm and I'm determined to get to bed early tonight.

Ginger yes I am close to my sisters although we all chose different paths in our lives we stay in touch. More so as we've got older. Mary turns 78 this year and Annie 67. My goodness where did the years go.

Dill, my stroke did cause some mobility issues initially but with lots of rehab and PT I have slowly come good. I am very lucky and only suffer from balance problems and slight weakness on the left side of my body.

Goodness Jude you were like a knight in shining armour going off to help all those kitties. Many kudos to you.

[Peachie]

Whoops I think I pressed some button I shouldn't have., lol

Anyhow hi to all and I'll get to bed now.

Night night.

Wow Jude! You deserve a medal! So do all the volunteers that showed up yesterday, and everyday! The superbowl is going to be exciting. I'm not really invested in who wins this year though.

Cowboy, no cab on the loader, but Mr. D wears lined coveralls for the job.

Peachie, glad you are able to get around in spite of that stroke!

Waves to Rava, Ginger, Mul and E3.

Not today.

[Ginger999]

Jude, I'm glad you made it safe and sound! That's true commitment. Thank you for your dedication to the kitties.

Dr cleared me for whatever I want to start doing now. Thankful!

Hi to all! I'll take another day!

[Jude58]

Good morning cafe! I have an early morning Dr.'s appointment today, but it's bitter cold and very windy. I don't want to go outside! Wah...

Hope that everyone has a good day with no booze!

24 more please...

[dill]

Hope your Dr.'s appointment goes well, Jude. We need you to look after yourself so we can continue to start our days (or go to sleep) reading your very pleasant posts! Which reminds me, when will we ever get to be back out on our decks/porches drinking our morning coffee and enjoying Nature and local wildlife?! Seems like a very distant memory....

BTW, I have started watching Nurse Jackie and love it! (Mr. D, not so much, but he doesn't do well with medical shows. Too raw.) Thanks for the mentions!

Not today.

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Seems like it’s cold weather everywhere. My heat just came on. When we went to the hotel in Miami this past weekend, it was freezing in our hotel room. I called the front desk to ask about turning on the heat and they informed me that the hotel had no HVAC system. WOW thats crazy. They offered to bring blankets. We were glad to actually get in our car and blast the heater. Who would know that hotels are built with no HVAC??? Anyway, going to play another game of beginner mahjong with a few friends. I am bringing cupcakes. No alcohol is involved. Thank goodness. Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Stay warm everyone! 24 more please!

5:22am in Alberta, I'll have another 24 please, and thanks...

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

[abcowboy]

I guess they don't need heat that often in Miami to justify the cost of putting in a heating system Rava, but you'd think they'd have something for the odd times it's needed. I wonder if it's all hotels or just that one.

Hope the Dr appointment goes well Jude and you get there and back safely.

From the sounds of things you won't be having coffee out on the porch for a while dill, I see you guys are getting some pretty cold weather over there.

That's great news Ginger, but I imagine you'll still take it a bit easy for a little while yet.

Bubba and I go to bed quite early as well Peaches, but we're early risers so it makes sense to get to bed early. Happy to hear you don't have many lingering problems from the stroke.

Not today...

[Ginger999]

Good morning all! I'll take another day

[Peachie]

Evening everyone. I also love your early morning posts too Jude. I keep coming into the Cafe to see if you've posted yet! Of course, it is late afternoon here and a bit awkward not jumping straight in. Haha.

Dill glad you like Nurse Jackie. I am still ploughing through it. Love


all the characters. Funny but kind.

I am not an early riser AB. Used to be when I worked but enjoy getting up when I feel like it or the cats demand it! I used to have a lovely big white fluffy boy who used to pat me on my face to get me up. If that didn't work he would extend his claws a little bit. That worked!!!

My work as a psychologist after my hubby died kept me sane. Although I was drinking a lot it was only on weekends at that stage. I worked for the Ministry of Justice for a long time. I also then worked with homeless youth and then as a Family Liason Officer. Then I had a Private Practice working mostly with young people.,
By that stage I realised I was not fit for purpose so to speak. I had met a horrible narcissistic man and was totally lost.

And lost i stayed for a long time.

Night night peeps.Thanks for being here.

Xxx

[Jude58]

Good morning all!

Dill, my memories of sitting on the back porch are fading with all of these bitterly cold temps that we've been having lately. I sure do miss sitting out there having my coffee and listening to the birds. Sigh...

Rava, it sounds as though you're enjoying Mahjong. It's a good way to sharpen your brain and stay sober at the same time. What more could you ask for? Can't believe that your hotel room didn't have any heat. Even though it doesn't get very cold in Miami they should still have heat!

Peachie, your work as a psychologist tells me a lot about your personality. You seem like a warm and caring person and we're glad that you've joined us in our little world here.

I have another early morning doctors appointment again today and I don't want to go out into the cold. I need to make all my doctor's appointments in the Spring and summer from now on.

Waves to Ginger, cowboy and Mul!

24 more please...

[dill]

Good morning/evening to all! Getting out early today for the volunteer job. Below zero here.

Hope we all have another 24 hours of freedom!

4:49am in Alberta, 24 more please, and thanks...
