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

[abcowboy]

It's funny how depression can sneak in on us Peachie. When it happens to me I try and think of all the things I should be grateful for, that usually helps.

Bubba and I aren't very socially active either Rava. We do get out to a few on the Senior's Centre events and spend a bit of time with our neighbors but for the most part we are homebodies.

We've got snow coming today as well Jude and the temps are supposed to rise again after the weekend. Looking forward to some above freezing temps and doing some cooking on the smoker.

I've got a supercrew truck that needs a good cleaning dill if you're so inclined lol.

I think 101 is a bit hot even for me Ginger. I'd be staying inside in the a/c comfort!

Not today...

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Ginger, hope you enjoy the game today! Sounds like fun but sorry about the huge heat wave. Yesterday was actually fun and only 3 people out of 6 drank but just a drink with lunch. Not me I had my iced tea and today I am supposed to get my loose leaf tea to try to drink this afternoon. Playing mahjong today and making corned beef in the crock pot. I hope everyone has a great and sober day. 24 more please and thank you.

Evening Cafe. Thanks for your input Cowboy
.I really try to be thankful a lot when I'm feeling down.. it's just I'm not living the life I imagined and I don't have the wherewithal or energy to change that. Totally foreign to me. It really is. I was the most positive person I knew. Maybe it's old age or just tiredness? No idea.
Thank you all for letting me join you.
Night night

Morning all!

Good job, Rava. It's so nice when you're not the only one abstaining.

This is some crazy weather! Now they are saying it might even reach 106f by next week. Never have we seen these temps in March. Little sis is like the rest of us, she enjoys warmth but not extreme heat. ABC, hard part in high heat, there's no way our AC can keep up and the coolest we can get the RV is 85 at best. We are set to leave the 25th unless we melt first!

Peachie, I hope you're feeling better today. Depression sucks.

The Mariners ended up losing but it was a close game and it was great to see some of the new, young players get a chance to play. Fun day! I got to drive through Scottsdale in rush hour. People drive crazy!

Hi Dill, Jude and Mul!

I'll take another day.

[Jude58]

Good morning cafe!

Every year Syracuse has a St. Patrick's day parade on the Saturday before the holiday. Tomorrow is supposed to be windy, cold and snowy but it won't stop people from attending. A lot of folks hit the many Irish pubs in the area and they are usually a bit buzzed before the parade even starts. St. Paddies day is a huge drinking event for many, but luckily I won't be part of it. I'm going to stay home and watch the parade on tv.

Waves to all!

Not today...

That's a good choice, Jude. Crowds and drinking don't appeal to me at all. I'll join you in staying at home.

My new computer completely crashed the day before yesterday. Luckily it is still within the warranty period so we wiped the hard drive and returned it to the seller. We bought it on Amazon and it was a refurbished Surface 5. So, I'm back to using my old Surface Pro for the time being. It works but the battery is over heating and is a fire hazard so I'm not happy to have to use it. We'll look for something today and this time I want to go to a brick and mortar store, Probably Best buy.

Sorry I didn't check in yesterday. I just didn't have time before the volunteer job and then the day just got away from me.

I haven't read back yet and will do so now.

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

Good morning Cafe. Dill, That stinks about your computer. I’m sure you will eventually get this straight! Ginger I cant imagine 85 in an RV. So hot I bet your fans don’t even help much. Jude, good idea to stay home and watch the parade. I made corned beef and cabbage yesterday and gave some to a neighbor whose wife doesn't eat meat. I am hoping he liked it. I make it with apple juice, brown sugar and mustard. Makes a great stock for the point cut piece to cook all day. We just love corned beef! Hope everybody has a Good Friday. We are getting our tax return today and happy that we don’t owe much. We changed our deductions last year when we got hit with a big bill. 24 more please and thank you.

[abcowboy]

I was going to ask how the a/c in your 5th wheel handled that kind of heat Ginger. I'm sure even household a/c units have a hard time keeping up. Glad you guys were able to enjoy the baseball game at least.

We're glad you joined us as well Peachie!

I was never much into the St Patrick's Day green beer and celebrations Jude, I guess that's because I'm not Irish. It's the same as all the Ukrainian celebrations in Vegreville, it's a big thing for the town but I don't get all excited about them like the rest do.

Hopefully you'll get something that will work properly and last dill. I'm one of those guys who is always leary about refurnished products.

How is the mahjong going Rava, you getting more comfortable playing it now?

Not today...

[Peachie]

Hi Cafe. I have over drank tonight. I knew I would. Time for bed.
Night night.

[Ginger999]

Peachy, was it something you want to talk about?

Sweltering here by mid day. We will spend the afternoon at the pool. At least when you get out, you get a little temporary chill. Crazy heat. We are down to one AC now. The bedroom one is on the blink. Rattlesnakes are a plenty! Time to start wrapping things up and heading home.

Waves all. I'll take another day of freedom
