MAE all - just lost the beginning of a post when i foolishly hit AutoRestore and it gave me a post from days ago... oh well! On the fly again today, going into the city this afternoon, a meeting there tomorrow morning, then back home. Predicted snow /ice/gale force winds event here - i’m trying to figure out a safe space for the dog to go out... he doesn’t seem to understand the concept of Thaw/freeze... he headed down rhe hill again this morning...

Glad all is seems to be going OK for folks; SK, yay, you cleared the air and have a good cleaner still, bravo. Lav, love to near about those new chicks - i’ll be happy to take your rain, i’m done with ice. Det, good job on the PT- you’ll be thrilled with the IP in no time. Mick, i feel warmer just hearing about your weather - thanks for the beautiful pics. PPQ, sorry about the lost posts! I hope you have a good weekend in store. Hi to Sam and Pi, hoping all is well.

Making headway on all fronts here - taxes, homeu clearout, painting the basement (i even earned 2 Organizing continuing ed certificates while listening to lectures as i paint), will go early to the train about an hour away and going to hit Home Depot, Marshalls and the crafts store for Home Staging supplies... here we go...

Take care all...

MAE ALL...

Keeping this short and sweet for now. Temps have dropped to -16C and it snowed all night. Time for coffee to help wake up. Will be back later....PPQP

It's 74 majorly muggy degrees here. Just flipped on the A/C to dry out the indoor air a bit. PQ, if we could just average our temps, all would be peachy!

SK, I once worked with a woman who described herself as a mockingbird. She got it right!

Dad was a very good sport about getting his labwork done. He'll have to go back on Monday though to see primary care doc about needed refills. His wife will take him, which I greatly appreciate. The woman is a godsend!

sneeze, hack, atchoo ABeroooos!

yep, went and got myself a nasty head cold but it's not slowing down my game too much.

Got up my courage to attend a meetup group '40's + singles coffee' this morning and had
a really lovely time. My fears over what things will be like are so overblown. Thankfully I'm making
strides in that department as I am in many others.

Can't chat long as I'm getting ready for RR meeting. Not feeling super 'up' for it but we have some new
folks coming and they may need help finding the room, and of course i know it will be great for me as always.

SK, a lynx! that is totally neato.

Pauly, well done on the cooking win!

Mick, so very nice and green there as always... love it

ok I'm off. be well loves

Greetings Abbers,

Cloudy & a bit chilly, light rain this afternoon. Tonight into tomorrow is supposed to be heavy rain & 55mph wind gusts. Not sure what that's going to do to my granddaughter's BD party 10A-12N. They may have to skip the outdoor part where they are shown how to tap maple trees for sugar, oh well.

Mick, you are done with spring already & into summer heat?? Wow!
The chicks are doing great, no problems. Tomorrow I will switch off the heat lamp so I can get a pic of them without the weird red lighting.

Pauly, your roast idea sounds good! Creative cooking is awesome! Hope your day went well.

Cyn, we have no ice, just a tiny bit of snow left which will be washed away overnight Tomorrow is heading up to 60 degrees after all the rain. I hope some warmth moves your way. I hope your busy weekend goes well.

PQ, so sorry you are dealing with epic winter weather. Stay warm!

Pie, Glad your dad was cooperative with his outing
Good that his wife can handle stuff too. Now you need to find something fun to do this weekend in your sultry environment.

Det, feel better soon & enjoy your meeting.

SK, any animal sightings today? We had another overnight visit from the raccoon. He leaves the lid open after he empties the bird feeder, ugh.

Have a nice night everyone!
Lav

Mae everybody Det I have something similar think its the funky weather that brought something in,woke in the middle of the night with a sore throat but I feel OK now except my head feels like a balloon haha,Romeo is sick with an ear infection and keeps getting them,might hafta do tubes like Brady had as a tot Lav,is there anything natural for babies to avoid them? Hope granddaughters party goes OK,PQ,your post sounded tired,is everything OK? I've decided I hate my job again,nothing ever gets fixed we've had a broken sink for two months,manager is a loratabbed out wimp! The new lady she hired had the balls to bring her dog to work on Friday and the "manager" didn't say shit! Much as I love dogs,I'd have sent her ass home and said take him home then come back,its illegal to have animals in the shop unless its a service animal,one of my friends said the dog was upset in the back so the lady put it under her station and would pet it while cutting hair! Can't touch a dog then touch someone's head! Gross! Sorry for the rant maybe I'll put the rest in paulysville haha! Much love to all and wishes for a great BF Sunday!

[Lavande]

Wow, where is everyone today??

Pauly, I don’t think I like your job either. Time to move on kiddo, go somewhere else.
Sorry about Romeo’s ear troubles. Some kids are just prone to that, some aren’t. I’ll have to look around for some reference material on avoiding ear infections in little ones. All I can think of now is to be sure he’s well hydrated tohelp keep his sinuses open, maybe a nebulizer in his room too to add some humidity.

The birthday party was fun, 18 little girls but all well behaved. They were taken outside for a demo on tapping maple sugar from the trees, cool.
My chicks are happy but camera shy for now.

Mick. Hope you are OK!

PQ, hope you are OK as well!

Hello to Cyn, Det, SK, Pie & Sam.

The wind has picked up as predicted, we’ll be lucky if the power stays on.
Wishing everyone a nice night!

hey all,
been a bit busy, seems like it is getting to be that time of year and my help took a vacation so been doing the do solo. Lots of walking! Lav, cute chicks, looks like not just buffs either! yes the wind is really up here as well, feeding cattle in this muck is ridiculous, maybe a little wind will help dry things out. Been practicing lately for St. Patty's day.

so over the holidays a family member who's been sober for about 10 years told me he decided to drink again, it left me rather puzzled, but I knew his wife liked to have a drink in the evening, but they've been like this for many years. I guess he was telling me because, well I'm not really sure, we don't live near one another. Anyway, been thinking about this off and on and wondering why anyone would want to feel the agony of a hangover after all those years of not having one. I've grown very comfortable in my own non-hungover world and I am puzzled and a little saddened by his choice.

so on to other adventures, decided to try a cold brew coffee maker, not as much acid, as I tend to drink a lot of coffee, remnants of working night shifts years ago. It's ok but miss my french press!.

well all for now, be well good friends
