Are you in the workhouse today or is it a day off?

Morning KY..how are you?I was talking to a friend on the phone last night in NZ...she was rushing to get the kids ready for school, while I was having my tea...weird when you think about it these time differences.

Hi MICK,

Thanks for the great start as always!

Annoying thing about the time difference is there is also a mood difference. You know how people are more chilled and chatty in the evening, so it's all reversed. I wanna settle in for chat when most on here are just popping in for moments during work and vice versa.

Obviously the Aussies are around but they have a tight knit thread which they rarely leave, except Lilly. So yeah, the time difference is odd and accounts for my late nights also!

Then there are our Canadian contingency which I tend to see more of at both ends of my night ......... PPQ and I usually exchange pleasantries before I go to bed.

My day has been good. Getting on really well with my 23 year old these days. It is so nice cos we have had ups and downs a lot since he was 17.

AllanK, where u at? You are very quiet ATM. PM me mate.

Cantoo .... My big problem when trying to eat grain free is breakfast. What do you eat? Can do cooking first thing so my options feel limited to fruit, which is a cold way to start the day.

Any ideas?

Anyhoos...... Will probably check in later

Morning Mick thanks for the coffee and the kickoff...
Yup we got dumped on. Boy there are a lot of stupid drivers out there.
I think I may have to start stocking Patience in the store.

Morning KY you still up? Thanks for all the chatter on the supps, trying to make my mind up.

Morning CT send away and Lilly here's another from me "P"

Off to get my first cuppa, have a great AF Wednesday all and all to come.....PPQ

Afternoon Mick et al. Hope everyone is keeping well.:l
The Army are all very sick over there - came here to say hello & get away from the germs.

YES : I'm in the workhouse
YES : I'm bored out of my tree
YES : I've been angelic for 6 months - and what about it Michael? :bat LOL

I've changed it. Didn't know the mood police were on duty to make sure you change it every time you post :egad:

Aggressive moi ?:H

Hi everyone, just a quick check in, and a pix from my Canadian back yard, says it all...BRRR! A leetle early. Note the rose is still in bloom on the right hand side.

One thing is for sure.... I am not unhappy that I am well and rested. I am glad I can think straight, everyone have a great AF day / evening. k

What a gorgeous view, Kas! Looks like your yard is just below the snow line. Brrr is right, but so beautiful! Glad you're well.

Hi, Mick, are we getting a little closer to figuring out what you do on those early mornings? I don't know how you keep up with all of us, but I sure appreciate your doing so.

Kuya, what about greek yogurt with fruit so you'll get some protein in that grain-free breakfast? Despite my preference for unprocessed foods, I am addicted to having Carnation Instant Breakfast (no sugar added) every morning. It fills me up for several hours, and I know I'm getting some calcium and protein. Good luck finding something that works for you. I'm sure Deter could probably help with that!

Hi, Lilly, how are you today? And Shue. Where are you, Allan? Not that I'm one to talk about absences. Hey Nurdl!

Hi, PPQ. Definitely add some Patience to the rest of your P's. I'm sure we could all use more patience. I know I can!

Morning, Satz. I was wondering about your Angelic mood too. LOL Not that I'm questioning you of course, but I rarely feel angelic for an hour, much less weeks on end.

Hi, Sunflower. It is true that once WE get over being sensitive about not drinking, most people could care less what we are drinking. Good on you for working out!

I'm just taking a break from going through 2 file boxes of papers to see what I can shred or put in recycling. I want to buy one of those specialty scanners that also makes scans AND files your papers on your computer, but they are $400. A little out of my price range at the moment. Anyway, I WILL get all these papers sorted! So there! Still AF, of course, but I must admit the thoughts do creep in at times. I sure don't want to start over again, though, and knowing that helps!

So Lav, are you keeping an eye on Hurricane Sandy? Looks like we might get whopped wherever the darn storm goes! I would love to come for a visit someday and visit with you and your chooks.

Anyway, have a good day all!

Hugs,
YahYah

Yah yah ..... Thanks for that.....yeah fruit and yoghurt has beenmy only thing and it's a cold start and I get hungry again so quick.

Kas ...that outlook is awesome!

:H :H That's why she calls herself 'Kaslo of the North'!!!!!
Pretty picture Kas, stay warm!!!

I am so not in the mood to deal with a hurricane YahYah. Do we ever really get a choice?
I need to take care of a bunch of outside stuff before this storm gets here.....i'm kinda running behind on all that. The biggest problem for me is losing power around here, happens frequently. I am most grateful for the whole house generator BUT when it kicks on it sucks up propane at an alarming rate. I just had a propane delivery today, getting ready for the winter heating season. Crap.
I'll make sure the chickens have plenty of food & water then just pray for their safety :H
Save your money, don't buy a shredder just bring your paper here & burn it in the yard

I dropped the oldest kid off at preschool, put the other in for a nap & now I'm watching NCIS reruns.
Pretty cool way to spend the afternoon!!!

Yay! Good to see Kas back in the directors chair for nature photography.

Hide ho Mick, thanks for the java again

I'll be doing a lot of shutter bugging this next week or so but unfortunately a lot of my pics are classified do to the technology or because team members can't be ID'd.

Kuya I eat a lot of veggie/egg frittatas for breakfast. Good steady energy

Packing the car in the snow..... Grumble grumble

Be well

Ooo Kas that's a purdy view.

KY - my favoirte breakfast is a fruit and protein smoothy ~distilled water approx 20 - 48grms of whey or hemp protein powder, frozen fruit and coconut oil. Keeps me filled up until lunch (most days).

Well the snow has not yet hit here so it's a walk in the river valley tonight. Trying to stay outside until it gets to be minus 20 or so. Any lower than that and it's just way too cold for me.

Well I've just got one more thing to say.....


I MADE IT TO 90 BABY!
