    Re: Feb 14

    Good evening all,

    25 degrees, a bit chilly waiting for another snow storm to arrive sometime overnight. We’ve had snow on the ground for 17 days the news just said. No wonder I’m getting sick of looking at it haha.
    Made a pot of mushroom soup today, my fav! The father of modern right wing radio Rush Limbaugh died today. I actually laughed when i heard the news. The world will be a better place without the racist, misogynist mouthpiece.

    Cyn, my teeth were clenching reading your post. So sorry about the fall, ouch. It happens so quickly even when you’re being so careful. 6-10” on the way overnight, watch out!!!!
    I walked out to the road to my mailbox looking for mail too, haha! I never had all these minor holidays off either.

    Mick, glad the old guy is OK. I just heard Prince Philip is in the hospital now at the age of 99, geez.
    There seems to be a shortage of a lot of things after this year long pandemic. I can’t even get my plant based calcium supplement from the online supplier I’ve been using for years.
    What can we do but hope & wait???

    PQ, good job getting your work done! This adult onset ADD is a real b*tch, haha!
    With the way the vaccinations are being delayed I wouldn’t be interested in going back to the office either. My daughter was signed up to volunteer at a large vaccination place tomorrow & she’s received word they’re cancelling because they didn’t get the vaccines. Pretty sad I think.

    Hello to Det & Pauly, hope you guys are OK.
    Hello to Sam & Pie.

    Have a safe night all!

      Mae all-

      Mick, you really have been through the ringer these weeks, you always are so upbeat about it, it I'm sure you are worn down from it all. Plus that crack on you noggin isn't helping I bet. Maybe a little -wait for it - REST? Okay, too radical... but do take care...

      Lav, too bad about your daughter and the vaccines. It sounds like the weather here is messing up all the vaccinations across the country... hopefully spring will be a better conductor... Take care with this snow... right now I just want something to cover the puddles of frozen water everywhere... that melt was the worst thing to have freeze... yikes!

      Pauly, hope all is okay with you - you guys have some cold there, or are you okay?

      PPQ, sounds like you have a good routine for working at home, that's great - hope you can keep it that way for awhile.

      Det and Sam, hope all is well...

      Well, the "oil change" seemed to go on a long time... this is an excellent garage, so I figured he would have some news for me... sure enough, this fancy Audi that was my departed beloved's is a tricky machine, with lots of stuff that could go wrong relatively soon... if I neede a tow, it would have to be a flatbed, not a tow. The pistons will wreck havoc if I drive the car at high altitude. (Think Tahoe). I a,ready had a sense about the car... (I mean, who has to put oil every week into their car? Well, turns out these Quattros from 2011 had a defect...). I was uneasy about trying to go cross-country in this vehicle, so at least I know definitely where I stand... thankmgoodness I took it to a great mechanic and didn't just go to the corner for an oil,change... I would never have known all this. So (after $$$$ new tires) I'll get in touch with some trusted car folk and hopefully find another wagon... I don't know, seems like too much change, but I guess better this than sitting on a roadside in Wyoming waiting for a flatbed truck to come rescue me...

      Night all, see you tomorrow... and be kind to yourselves...

          Re: Feb 14

          Good evening friends,

          Glad to be inside, safe from icy driveways & such, ugh. We had the predicted 6 or 7” of snow, my neighbor plowed when it stopped & now my driveway is pretty slick looking. I’m staying off, the chickens will see me tomorrow (they did get food & water today).

          Cyn, I check online for vaccine appts a few times/day but still no luck. Hurry up & wait it is!!
          Sorry your car repairs are so involved & expensive. I swear by my Chevy’s, they’ve never let me down. I’m still driving my Equinox I bought almost 4 years ago, plenty of cargo space too.
          Watch your step outside, it’s kinda scary.

          Mick, you sure do nice work, lucky bunnies
          Good to hear Julie’s dad is stable. It’s going to take some work & changes to keep him that way I’m afraid. Glad to hear you’re ‘taking it easy for a change’.

          Hello to PQ, hope your day was good! Same to you Det!

          Hello Sam, Pauly & Pie.

          Have a cozy night everyone!
          Lav

            Goodness, what a quiet crew here tonight...

            Mick I gues I'll have to settle with easi(er) if you say so... sorry about the frigid temps coming your way... this whole vortex splitting is getting to be ridiculous! Glad the bunnies are okay, and wishing stability for FIL...

            Lav, I loved my Volkswagen Jetta wagon... that's what I drove cross-country now, twice. But it went to pasture for some well-earned rest with some friends of mine, and I ended up with the fancy-smancy Audi wagon, a car I wouldn't have purchased, ever. So it's okay to move it along, I have no emotions tied to it, though it was hubs' pride and joy... but he certainly wasn't a mechanic! I'll be right over for those sourdough muffins...

            I had a good day of getting some legal work off, and getting tax things ready to look at... As far as the car goes, I just am tired of change, and having to figure out new things... I have a lead on a reputable small dealer close by... I'll see what he's got... I'll get through it all... I just will have to stick to a lo-rise car for now because of the dog's mobility. It's all okay...

            Hello to Pauly, PPQ, Det and Sam.... and all others... hope everyone is well. No sun today, but even with the snow, it was bright...

            Seek the Bright!

Still no sign of me getting the vaccine haha a friend of mine just let me know he's getting his tomorrow he is 53! So obviously I still look like a Youngster and they're not looking at my records properly yeah right. Got one of my locomotives steaming today actual smoke coming out the funnel looks absolutely brilliant, a pain to get it working but when it does it looks good.

                "A new first name."

                Flight Attendants
                Occasionally, airline attendants make an effort to make the
                "in-flight safety lecture" and their other announcements a bit more
                entertaining. Here are some real examples that have been heard or
                reported:

                =====================//=======================

                "There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane..."

                =====================//=======================

                After landing: "Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride."

                =====================//=======================

                As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Washington National, a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. WHOA!"

                =====================//=======================

                After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Memphis, a flight attendant on a Northwest flight announced: "Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as ###### everything has shifted."

                =====================//=======================

                From a Southwest Airlines employee...."Welcome aboard Southwest Flight XXX to YYY. To operate your seatbelt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seatbelt, and if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised.
                In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, margarine cups will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with
                more than one small child...pick your favorite.

                =====================//=======================

                "Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but we'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you, or your money, more than Southwest Airlines."
                "Your seat cushions can be used for flotation, and in the event of an emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with our compliments."

                =====================//=======================

                Once on a Southwest flight, the pilot said, "We've reached our cruising altitude now, and I'm turning off the seat belt sign. I'm switching to autopilot, too, so I can come back there and visit with all of you for the rest of the flight."
                "Should the cabin lose pressure, oxygen masks will drop from the overhead area. Please place the bag over your own mouth and nose before assisting children or other adults acting like children."

                =====================//=======================

                "As you exit the plane, make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses."

                =====================//=======================

                "Last one off the plane must clean it."

                =====================//=======================

                And from the pilot during his welcome message: "We are pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry...Unfortunately, none of them are on this flight...!"

                =====================//=======================

                Heard on Southwest Airlines just after a very hard landing in Salt Lake City: The flight attendant came on the intercom and said, "That was quite a bump and I know what y'all are thinking. I'm here to tell you it wasn't the airline's fault, it wasn't the pilot's fault, it wasn't the flight attendants 'fault...it was the asphalt!"

                =====================//=======================

                Overheard on an American Airlines flight into Amarillo, Texas, on a particularly windy and bumpy day. During the final approach the Captain was really having to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the Flight Attendant came on the PA and announced, "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Please remain in your seats with your seatbelts fastened while the Captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!"

                =====================//=======================

                Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."

                =====================//=======================

                An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, smile, and give them a "Thanks for flying XYZ airline." He said that in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally everyone had gotten off except for this little old lady walking with a cane. She said, "Sonny, mind if I ask you a question?"
                "Why no Ma'am," said the pilot, "what is it?" The little old lady said, "Did we land or were we shot down?"

                =====================//=======================

                After a real crusher of a landing in Phoenix, the Flight Attendant came on with, "Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Capt. Crash and the Crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we'll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal."

                =====================//=======================

                Part of a flight attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you'll think of us here at US Airways."

                =====================//=======================

                  Mae all -

                  Pauly, good to hear from you ... sorry you have write in such a rush! Glad to hear that you will be having the warm weather that you like!!

                  PPQ - hope all is okay with you!

                  Lav, our snow is still going... not a huge amount of accumulation, but snow, snow snow... since yesterday noon... oh well, better than ice, and it mostly has covered the slippery spots... still being careful, though... I bet you are making more sourdough-something's... enjoy!

                  Mick, you just ended up doing a 7-mile walk? Wow! I guess your body was ready to stretch a bit and get the kinks worked out... glad it was a good enough day for you to do it... glad you told Julie where you were... oh, I guess you didn't say that but... I'm sure you let her know...��. Sorry about the vaccine... good luck...

                  Sam. Det and all, wishing you a Good Friday evening...

                    Good evening friends,

                    Still below freezing so everything is icy, oh boy. Snow flurries off & on all day. Just heard the Philadelphia area has had over 23” of snow so far this winter. I think that’s plenty, don’t you? LOL

                    Cyn, no baking today but I always have my jar of sourdough starter in the fridge when the mood strikes me
                    Speaking of having trouble getting into & out of a vehicle safely YB’s truck is SO darn big I have to haul myself in with 2 hands & slide out slowly & gracefully to my feet to avoid fracturing something. I really do not like that thing, ugh. Zander looks tall enough he could probably just walk into the back of my Equinox Keep yourself safely on your feet, please!!

                    Mick, 7 miles is a HIKE not a WALK, haha!!!!
                    Still no luck finding a vaccine appt here either. It was in the news today that a 30 something & 40 something females posed as ‘grannies’ in FL trying to get vaccines. They were caught, how pathetically stupid. Glad you family & bunnies are doing well.

                    Pauly, a few people have complained of having difficulty posting this week, guess everyone gets a turn. Glad to see yuo today

                    PQ & Det, hello to you.
                    Sam & Pie, hello.

                    I’m in a work mode today so I’ll get back to it for a bit.
                    Have a decent night all!

                      MAE ALL...

                      Sorry for being MIA the last couple of days. I've been immersed in assisting with reprograming for the Corporate Membership module we're using. The company is based in Montreal so with the time difference I find myself online at weird hours of the day and night.

                      A quick read through shows everyone is hanging in, good job all.

                      Our weather has improved immensely, it's almost Spring like out there. I am definitely going to get some outdoor time in today.

                      Have a great Saturday all....:smile:PPQP

                        Re: Feb 14

                        Who all how are we today then? I tried to get in earlier on this morning but couldn't .... it told me I was a guest and wouldn't let me log in however it is now letting me in at 17:45 so I don't know what happened there but I am certainly turned from guest to being me! Been a quiet day today raining most of the day however but the rabbits have been playing in both the new hutch and their what we have come to know as a summer residence! Julie has just gone down to her dads to give him his tea and make sure he is ok fingers crossed and Touchwood knockwood which whatever you want to call it he seems to have been a little better last couple of days. Quiet day ,been watching a bit of television and going through all my photographs that are on disc for pictures of Amy when she was young ,,,Julie hasn't got many so I downloaded them all from disc. Measured the bathroom and toilet next week I'm going to start on the flooring changing from tiles because one of them has broken so it is coming up and I'm going to put cushion flooring down
                        ... at the same time or after I've done that job I've got the window ledge on the Stairway to sand back to bare Wood and stain up apart from that no great plans take care look after yourselves I'm doing this on my phone and will correct it all later on... take care have a great weekend everyone stay safe sober and sane

                        My mate said "I'm going to try and plant horse chestnuts across the four corners of the earth"

                        Fcking idiot, he's only trying to conker the world

                        I saw a deer driving home from work last night.

                        He wasn't even wearing a seat belt.

                        Never insult an Italian baker...

                        He'll beat the focaccia!!

                        I've really been getting into this gorilla glue challenge thing today, its so exciting I can't put my phone down even for a minute.

                        The accident happened because I had one eye on the lorry in front, one eye on the pedestrian and the other on the car behind. (Thanks Sharon Burrows)

                        I started to slow down but the traffic was more stationary than I thought.

                        I pulled into a lay-by with smoke coming from under the hood. I realised the car was on fire so took my dog and smothered it with a blanket.

                        Q: Could either driver have done anything to avoid the accident
                        A: Travelled by bus

                        The claimant had collided with a cow. The questions and answers on the claim form were -
                        Q: What warning was given by you
                        A: Horn.
                        Q: What warning was given by the other party
                        A: Moo.

                        I started to turn and it was at this point I noticed a camel and an elephant tethered at the verge. This distraction caused me to lose concentration and hit a bollard.

                        On approach to the traffic lights the car in front suddenly broke.

                        I was going at about 70 or 80 mph when my girlfriend on the pillion reached over and grabbed my testicles so I lost control.

                        I didnt think the speed limit applied after midnight

                        I knew the dog was possessive about the car but I would not have asked her to drive it if I had thought there was any risk.

                        Q: Do you engage in motorcycling, hunting or any other pastimes of a hazardous nature
                        A: I Watch the Lottery Show and listen to Terry Wogan.

                        First car stopped suddenly, second car hit first car and a haggis ran into the rear of second car.

                        Windscreen broken. Cause unknown. Probably Voodoo.

                        The car in front hit the pedestrian but he got up so I hit him again

                        I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law and headed over the embankment.

                        The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its intention.

                        I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way

                        A truck backed through my windshield into my wifes face

                        A pedestrian hit me and went under my car

                        In an attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole.

                        I had been shopping for plants all day and was on my way home. As I reached an intersection a hedge sprang up obscuring my vision and I did not see the other car.

                        I was on my way to the doctor with rear end trouble when my universal joint gave way causing me to have an accident.

                        An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car and vanished.

                        I was thrown from the car as it left the road. I was later found in a ditch by some stray cows.

                        Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I dont have.

                        I thought my window was down, but I found it was up when I put my head through it.

                        The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.

                        I had been driving for forty years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident.

                        As I approached an intersection a sign suddenly appeared in a place where no stop sign had ever appeared before.

                        To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front I struck a pedestrian.

                        My car was legally parked as it backed into another vehicle.

                        I told the police that I was not injured, but on removing my hat found that I had a fractured skull.

                        I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the road when I struck him.

                        The pedestrian had no idea which way to run as I ran over him.

                        I saw a slow moving, sad faced old gentleman as he bounced off the roof of my car.

                        The indirect cause of the accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth.

                        The telephone pole was approaching. I was attempting to swerve out of the way when I struck the front end.

                        The gentleman behind me struck me on the backside. He then went to rest in a bush with just his rear end showing. "

                        I had been learning to drive with power steering. I turned the wheel to what I thought was enough and found myself in a different direction going the opposite way.

                        I was backing my car out of the driveway in the usual manner, when it was struck by the other car in the same place it had been struck several times before.

                        When I saw I could not avoid a collision I stepped on the gas and crashed into the other car.

                        The accident happened when the right front door of a car came round the corner without giving a signal.

                        No one was to blame for the accident but it would never have happened if the other driver had been alert.

                        I was unable to stop in time and my car crashed into the other vehicle. The driver and passengers then left immediately for a vacation with injuries.

                        The pedestrian ran for the pavement, but I got him.

                        I saw her look at me twice. She appeared to be making slow progress when we met on impact.

                        The accident occurred when I was attempting to bring my car out of a skid by steering it into the other vehicle.

                        My car got hit by a submarine. (The Navy informed the wife of a submariner that the craft was due in port. She drove to the base to meet her husband and parked at the end of the slip where the sub was to berth. An inexperienced ensign was conning the sub and it rammed the end of the slip, breaking a section away, causing her car to fall into the water. The Navy paid the compensation claim.

                          Good evening Abbers,

                          Cold today but no snow or rain. Going down in the teens tonight!!
                          No grandson again this weekend either so I can do whatever I want haha!!

                          PQ, glad to see you are OK & just busy. No spring weather here, no kidding!!!
                          I forget we are on different times so your day is a little after mine I guess. Hope the work stuff works out OK for you!

                          Mick, you sure are handy around the house, haha!
                          YB has been busy driving Amish back & forth all day. They are holding their annual auction, Amish come from all over. Yesterday he hauled a half ton of potatoes for them to make french fries. He said they sold them all, LOL
                          Glad to hear Julie’s dad is stable. Watching their meds & insuring adequate fluid intake goes a lot to helping them remain stable.

                          Hello to Cyn, Det, Pauly, Sam & Pie. Hope everyone is OK.

                          Have a nice night all!

                            Mae all -

                            Well, strange doings here on the thread... I KNOW that I sign out, but when I come back, here I am again signed in... well, gremlins are having fun here...

                            Lav, Zander is a tall dog, but is having very bad back leg problems... and with his wounded-from-puppy-hood right front leg, and overworked left front leg, walking generally and climbing up anything is a difficulty. But this AM, as I was getting boxes figured out in the house, I came across a support-type vest that I purchased last autumn, didn't think it worked, and never got around to sending back. It is a harness with a handle in the middle of the back, plus an optional handle with straps to hold from above. I thought it was too small for him, but on closer inspection.... it works! so now I have more leverage to help him up the ramp into my already lo-slung car... a little progress, and he seems happier...

                            Pauly, hope your spring weather is staying around.

                            Det, I hope,the work options are getting better...

                            PPQ, I totally understand about how hard it is to work with half the team on a different coast - difficult! Good luck to you, the project sounds tough...

                            Mick, well thank goodness you haven't let a day go by without a lot of projects in the pipeline! So nice that you found pics of Amy... I was so looking forward to going through pics in December and January, but I guess now it will all have to wait until the autumn... sigh. By the way, your locomotive with the steam sounds wonderful! Congrats! Hope the bunnies continue to stay well...

                            Hello to Sam, hope you are not in mud season yet, and hope you have heat!!!

                            Wishing all well... it was light still at 6 pm here today... so lovely. Happy half-moon...

                              looking like the crew is holding up pretty well in spite of whatever keeps getting thrown at us all.

                              Tree, that's a great idea for helping the poochie.

                              Lav, cold and snowy-ish here but not quite enough to go sledding yesterday.... we tried but couldn't find a very close spot so
                              next we'll drive east to the mountains where there is a LOT of snow to be had.

                              we drove to our nearby Lake Utah which is pretty marshy but there's a few docks/boat ramps so you can get right down to it.

                              Mick, a smoking train? that's some great realism for sure. Hope it stops for the tiny cows

                              job scene is still frustrating me. m'love tells me to be patient. ommmmm.... several irons in the fire
                              so I'll try that 'patence thing' and carry on. In the meantime making adjustments to my website etc.

                              girly had a bad day of immaturity yesterday which made me angry. i hate feeling that way and thankfully don't
                              feel that emotion very often at all but I didn't sleep well the night before and just got pretty dark. didn't say or do
                              anything out of line but the girls saw I was not happy. got in a meditation and mellowed out pretty well and slept
                              good last night. whew.

                              Here's a silly little video I made making arugula pesto Shared album - London Lewis - Google Photos
