Trucker - that is all SO good - wonderful news for you. I am so pleased it worked out - go you. Loved hearing about it too! You told it so well!! And so well done on - how many days now?? 10 or 11 ? Wonderful - you are just doing so well - have a great day my friend!
Oh and Rog - the ground is hard and if it isn't then it is very soggy due to the storms we had the other night - either way, my tiny little tiller won't be any good in this yet!! But SOON!!
Love, Sun XXHow simple it is to see that we can only be happy now and there will never be a time when it is not now....

Roger, so glad you got some work coming your way. Use that chauffer to take Sue and uncle to docs appointments! LOL! Bill, congratulations on 10 days! It seems like alot longer since I talked you into going through those emergency room doors and you did it and look at you now! I am so proud of you and so happy you qualify for lower gas bills! That is awesome and I am amazed at how God is still pouring blessings all over you! Ruby, have fun looking at cars! Grateful, like Sunni said, our family is not complete without you!

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening. I think we have posters experiencing every time of day now. Not that we didn't all experience different times of day You know what I mean. Just wanted to pop in for a hello and let you know I'm alive and thinking of you all. Trucker you're a funny f*cker! Really glad to hear how things are going for you!. Keep it up buddy. I'm looking forward to the first crocuses and then daffodils and tulips too!
Nice to meet you Lolab. Vicki is right say whatever you need to get out. Curse, shout, ask for advice, cry....get naked....just kidding....Welcome

OK, it's official: car shopping rates right up there with having hemorroids and jury duty on the same day! (or so I've been told). Hubs had to cruise OH-SO-SLOWLY past the pick ups, extolling their beauty and superiority (I read the death notices in the paper). Then he played his game of driving to the far side of the car lot, watching out the corner of his eye as a salesman hurried out to us, then drove to the other side as the guy got near. (Sorry girls, he's taken!)
Swanny, my heart SANG when I saw you here. Don't you leave us again, young woman. You don't want to make Mimzy come over there! :H
Trucker, ditto all the above. Things will work out now that you will have control of your own business. Kudos, buddy!
Lab, WECLOME!!!:welcome: We hope you'll jump in and share the madness, sadness, happiness, and joy this group finds.
And to that crazy old English chick with the tiny tiller, I posted early today, on page ONE, ya dipstick!! :H:H:H
We stopped for lunch at Red Lobster (their lobster nachos are pretty good!) and Hubs is sleeping it off in the den now, in front of his beloved big screen. Like I've said, he WAS a catch!sigpic

Hallo everyone! Just come in from staring to tidy up the garden - it is such a lovely day out but the ground is not good for working in it due to the awful storms from the other night. However I at least cleared some of the debris from where some of the daffs are coming up.
Welcome Sona - this is a great place to be - excuse Ruby's outburst at poor little me - sometimes she forgets to take her meds, then we all just have to humour her :H
Ruby - I think car shopping is on a par with umm, golly, can't think of anything that it is as bad as - I don't mind the dentist, - oh I know - having my nails filed !!!! I HATE that and won't let anyone near them. would rather poke pins in my eyes than go car shopping. so, did you see anything you liked?
Swannie - I didn't know you had gone anywhere - all I knew was that you weren't posting - I thought you were poorly. But welcome back - how are you doing my friend? We did miss you and it is great to see you post again. So, lots of hugs to you :l:l:l:l:l
RC - longing for those first flowers.....I even asked in Schnucks the other day if they had any daffs (that was all I wanted - nothing fancy - just daffs) and they said in a few weeks- well, I will have them by then too. I hope. LOVE daffodils.
Off to do stuff - back later all,
love, sun XXHow simple it is to see that we can only be happy now and there will never be a time when it is not now....

Sona, missed you there! Welcome back, dear one. We're here for you, ready to welcome you in to this crazy-wonderful fold.
BTW: I bought some Jack-In-The Pulpits today (love endangered wildflowers) and I'll tend them till they're strong and find the right place along the stream path to put them out. Then we stopped for a couple things at the grocery, and the 13-year-old stockboy was hauling out wilted hydrangeas. I asked, and he said YES, they were going in the trash. Well, he ended up bringing me a big, sturdy box, and I picked up 6 of them. Some other ladies were hovering around, waiting for me to get done, so they could scavenge. :H (Hubs was standing nearby, arms folded, rolling his eyes.) The man TRIES to think he's in control at home. :Hsigpic

I was messing around with my little notebook this morning and turned the web cam sort of by accident--scared me to see me first thing in the morning.:H:H:H
couldn't download skype for some reason though.

At least you weren't just walking out of the shower in a towel, trying to talk casually to your hostess, RC! :H What I wouldn't have given for a camera! (BTW: you looked great!!)sigpic

LOL RC - 'cos that is the way I spell it!! And my computer doesn't mind - I think it is set up for American (English) spelling. !! I e-mailed a friend in UK the other day and mentioned my car tire and put TIRE instead of TYRE and have not heard the end of it!! So, my computer likes my spelling !! Most of the time anyway! how funny......
