~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[dill]

Wow, Cowboy. It's been a while since I looked at other threads on MWO. I had no idea it was so empty. Where did everyone go? I guess you used to post on Newbies Nest and saw things gradually fading away. But I am kind of shocked somehow. I thought so many of those folks would keep posting forever.

Slo, I think that the window shades look fine, maybe add a topper for some color.

I've also noticed the yellow box that says "working", cowboy. I also never know when my post will disappear after hitting the reply button. I wouldn't be surprised if one day MWO is no longer available. Thankfully, we have a backup site. Slo do you know about this? Cowboy setup a web page called We quit drinking which we will use if this site goes belly up.

I'm in for another 24 hours of serenity...

I agree with previous comments, Slo. Your window treatments are very nice and actually along the lines of what I would choose for myself. In fact we have something similar in our kitchen on our patio doors. Just maybe add a splash of color or contrast in a valence perhaps if you feel something more is needed. Ginger's suggestion of sheers was a good one too, and easily affordable.

Cowboy, perhaps it would be a good idea for you to include a link to your other site for Slo and anyone else that still needs it. I appreciate the access to it and as you know, I join you there everyday now. I love your daily quotes!

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

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

[abcowboy]

Time for some breakfast...

[abcowboy]

Hmmm, hopefully breakfast will eventually show itself, I uploaded the pic but it's not showing up in the post yet...

Here is the link to the backup site for those who don't have it yet Home | We Quit Drinking

Let's all have a peaceful Sunday and remember, not today...

[Ginger999]

I hope everyone has a joyful day! I'll take another one filled with the freedom of no alcohol

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Site is working for me today. YAY. Slo, I agree with Ginger and the others about adding sheers in the living room or a valance topper in a bright color in your other rooms. I actually think the shades are beautiful but just need a pop of color. I would leave them open all day and close only at night. Turn up the heat a bit or get yourself an electric throw for your couch. I sit on one in Florida! LOL. Hope everyone has a great and sober day. 24 more please and thank you.

PS Thanks for breakfast Cowboy!

[dill]

Cowboy, thanks for that wonderful breakfast yesterday! It was great. I love leisurely Sunday mornings.

I have a board meeting today for the auxiliary volunteer group at the hospital. The meetings focus will be on various things that we need to do to wind down the organization as the hospital is shutting down its operations. We are in limbo right now as a community because the offer of the medical services provider to shut down and raise the building, then build a new stand-alone emergency care center has not been signed onto by the local city council. My preference would be for the hospital to remain open, but that is not going to happen. I'm concerned that the local government officials are going to dither around too long, and the provider will take the emergency care center off the table. At my age, an available emergency care center is more important than ever, so I hope this situation gets resolved before it's too late. Life is change and change is hard for most of us.

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

PS-thank you for including the link to your site in your post yesterday, Cowboy. I get that yellow box "working" message every day now and I am very concerned that we must have a back up plan in place for everyone that wants to continue to be able to stay in touch. The "working" message seems to take longer each time. I hope everyone bookmarks your site.

[Jude58]

I wonder what happened to MWO? It used to have so many active threads and it's such a shame that this site is now a skeleton of its former self.

Dill, that's too bad about your local hospital will be shutting down in the future. It's tough when you live in a rural area like we do with the nearest hospital is 30 miles away.

So....not today!

[Rava]

Good morning and Dill I hope your hospital situation all works out. Change is hard but can be good. I also hope this website stays. It’s been such a help to so many of us throughout the years. Today I have dental surgery so I am a bit nervous but also glad to get it over with. Hope everyone has a safe and sober day. 24 more please and thank you.

You don’t understand how cold my bedroom is now without the old wooden blinds. I am in a northern climate. Turning the heat up doesn’t help enough. I need all new windows. A decorative topper isn’t going to do it. And in my main living area, the two choices -thanks to the blackout feature -is either dark as a tomb or freezing in Winter. Oh well. Let’s drop it.

I am done driving my mother all over the state this weekend to attend a great grandchild’s baptism. She paid for one of the tanks of gas, so that helped. I enjoyed staying over at my brother & sister-in-law’s house and getting to visit with my nephews and their wives, my sis-in-law’s parents et all -the bosom of family. It still didn’t feel good at all to be there just as a chauffeur though.

That is so frustrating about the hospital closing, Dill; but more so that the emergency center isn’t getting approved in its place. They need to act on that!

24 more hours please.

[abcowboy]

5:16am in Alberta, another 24 please, and thanks...
