Hi Mick, tis a ghost town indeed, hope all our statesiders are hunkered down and safe.

You and I are lucky that neither of our countries has these severe storms. I remember our BIG storm of 1988, I think a couple of pigeons got ruffled feathers!

CANTOO ..... Am I stalking you or are you stalking me? I can't tell any more, we're becoming a supplements double act :H:H

I am sposed to be quitting the fags tomorrow but had a shit of a day work wise so procrastinating AGAIN! I quit for a short while once but was off work and the minute I went back to work I caved. Funny how fags are so hard and booze so much easier. Had a counselor once who said fags were my primary addiction. Do know I have smoked more since giving up AL.

Off for my wanders ..... Love to all.....hope you are all safe and sound.

Morning Mick thanks for kicking us off and the coffee.

Back to work to write up my report on the Banff Trip. Out for a coworkers birthday for lunch so looking forward to that, and nobody drinks which is a bonus.

Morning KY and Molly. I'm with Molly, I'm not about to give up my fags. I think at this point in time it would be detramental to my sobriety health. :schmokin:

Off to get my second cuppa, have a great AF Monday all and all to come......PPQ

Morning, fabbies!

Thanks for the coffee, Mick. It is needed and so good! I like your jokes. The fact that they are wacky is part of the charm!

I'm glad there are several people on here who smoke. My smoking has gone up since I stopped drinking, and I'm afraid I will blow up like a blimp if I give the buggers up. My body is letting me know it is time to give them up though... :no: Kuya, let us know how it goes. Molly, I guess you have a bit of time before you need to make that decision.....

Thinking about you, Lav. I have the feeling you are going to get it much worse than I will, in both the wind and rain categories. Hope you keep your power as long as possible! I trust the chickies will be okay!

Glad you're getting a little break from the kids, Quest. I remember the days when it felt like a vacation to go to work. :H

Keep up the good work, PPQ! Your P's have meant much to all of us.

Anyway, off to catch up on a little work.

Hugs,
:l

morning all. Watching storm coverage and my thoughts are with you. I see that Sandy will hit landfall farther south than previously predicted. You and your girls stay safe today. I'm looking at a Bradford pear tree in my front yard that I know I will lose today in the winds. It's top heavy (insert remarks here) and still covered with leaves. Hopefully it won't fall on the car. Lot's of coffee today!

Hello Ladies and Gent,

Mick - Thank You. A green tea will be perfect. Snow came yesterday at the end of the hike - was not a purdy drive home on the highway. Today is -6 but is supposed to be +10 by the weekend (good thing as I need to get the kayak carrier off my car) :-(

KY - I was following you but didn't post as we went along as that would have been creepy. :muahaha:

Molly - Enjoy the bike ride on your Bank Holiday

PPQ, LAVE QUEST AND YaH - Hellloooooo. Happy Monday.

Slide on in Betty. Do you know KY? She's our lube specialist.

Nurdl - I sure hope you don't lose your Mrs. Bradford

On my lunch - didn't much feel like hitting the roads. People don't remember how to drive it the 'stuff' for a week or so. Let them settle in without me.

Have a happy and safe Monday.

Hey Abbers,

Still have power so i'm grateful.
A large wind gust just split an ornamental pear tree in half next door at my BIL's house, oh well.

YahYah, i found myself smoking so much more when I stopped drinking. It really made me sick. I signed up at Quit Smoking All Together: the Web's Largest Quit Smoking Community & absolutely FORCED myself to quit!
I quit smoking many times over the years but never stayed quit, until this time

Hi betty -peacenik!!!! Welcome back & congrats on your 23 AF days!!!!
Glad you decided to join us again, stick around

Hope you are staying warm & dry nurdl! Sandy is supposed to make landfall between 6 & 8 pm, hang on!!!

Greetings CanToo & everyone!
I'll check back when I can!
