Actually, I woke up at 5:30 with leg cramps, and couldn't get back to sleep . So I guess that makes me first on the list today.

Cold, gray, dreary, but no snow. However, we are in another one of those long 12-14 day stretches when the high temps won't go above the 32F mark. Light deprivation coupled with arctic cold means either getting to Bonaire very soon (32 days!) or getting an appointment with my therapist. The trip to Bonaire is both cheaper and more fun...

TODAY IS THE DAY!!! but not for BT2!!!!!!!!!

Good morning BT1.

Hey, MF, just in time for another snow storm.

YUP

Garage party!
Morning all..going to the store before the "madness" starts. Another Coastal Storm on the way for tomorrow..looks like NY will get more snow this time?
What do those "weather people" know anyway!
Catch you after the shop!

Morning BT! Cold as all get out here, and a big snow storm on the way for tomorrow and Wednesday, we really got to set up old man winter with a lady friend so he won't keep hammering us here with that white stuff.

Good morning BT......I'm back! Had great fun on Bonaire. Now I've been to the Netherlands, they stamp the passport Bonaire, Nl.
Came home to a blizzard......white is so much nicer when its sand.

Freddie, what is TODAY?

Brenda, it just goes way too damn fast, doesn't it?

Yes, we are going to get pounded again. It is coming right up I 95. I wish they would have never built that road.

We are getting all new hardwood floors next Monday. Kathi has prepared sequential lists for me, yesterday, while I was out watching the Eagles get beat up by the Packers. This is really going to be a barrel of monkeys.

One of the cats just threw up on the family room carpet. How wonderful? Jim, please clean this up, and give me more food so I can do it again. Thank you. Oh, and change my litter box too big boy, it's a little messy for me. While your at it...

Freddie, what is today? Is George getting that implant?

I want to move, at least to Savannah.

This might be the funniest Steve Colbert yet. I love this show.

Drat, calling for 6-12 inches here, so I am off to do errands and get some supplies, going to be going nowhere for at least 2-3 days, evil n'or easter!

Morning BT
Crazy weather from Texas to the right... but hang in there if it's what we had then there are good times to come. It's sunny and a little chilly today but the forecast for this weekend is
SUNNY and 70's!!!!!!!!! Woohoooooo!!!! Patio Party!!!

I'm hoping to break out the rollerblades today.

Jeff - definitely the better choice of the two treatments
Brenda - welcome home!
Fredster - a little red in your day today??

Careful to all of you in the snow's path and
Happy Monday!!!!

Off to the beach with Caymus..Pizza,, a good run and swim if the waves are not to big...

MF..you get a ticket on the way home?

Allan,,Allan,,Allan....Steve,,,Steve.

Snow & sleet give me frickin break....it's right pretty till you have to get out in it and come to work.

Have a Great Day BT !!!!

Does Freddie have her hood down yet?

Hi Chuck.

Beach was fun,,,baby it's cold out side. Me thinks I froze my crank shaft?
Hey,,,hey, Apple..It's wine time

better put a sock on it

Dang, I'm still drinking coffee on this coast. It's freakin' cold here, too. By our standards. But it has been in the high 30's at night....I shudder to see what it has done to my outside plants. I covered them, but they don't look happy.

Tonight, I'm going here: http://deyoung.famsf.org/deyoung/exhibitions/van-gogh-gauguin-cezanne

RosAnne and I tried to go together, but we couldn't work out the ticket availability/child care logistics. Sorry, RA. The Picasso exhibit is the next installation, and I get free passes now that I'm a member...let's go to that one!

Got news that we have lost one of our ex students today to cystic fibrosis aged 19. Please hug your little ones for me and spare a thought or a prayer of Luke's family. (I hate this part of my job)

Julia, CF is so sucky.

RIP Major Winters the best kind of hero and very deserving of the Medal Of Honor.

Cecil, he is part of a generation of soldiers who were on the side of the angels.

If anybody is visiting San Francisco, there is a restored Liberty Ship, the Jeramiah O'Brian open to the public that is worth a visit. The docents are all folks who served on it in WWII...they have some pretty interesting stories to tell, and are appreciative of an audience. These aren't stories we will be able to hear first hand forever...

A good man for sure Cecil. RIP Major Dick Winters.

I bet Freddie is Zooooom, Zooommm, Zoooming right about now!

Is she going somewhere warm with palm trees, warm aqua water, great restaurants, smiling faces, a constant breeze, and George?

Well, it's been fun talking to myself here, but I have work...that's the good news....so I'm gone. Cya...

It's ok CB, I do it all the time

Jerry can you please save all those cinder blocks for me.. damn shame to just throw them away.
I'll bet the owner has a hard time getting permits through to build again.

Enjoy...

thanks Ryan my grandson gave me a McQueen car to put in it actually if it had a tongue it looks just like McQueen

Is that a BMW Freddie? I am really not a car aficionado.

Whatever it is it is kewelllllllllllllll.

Mazda Miata MX-5

Seems this puppy is getting stronger?

Freddie ... tuck that baby away for the winter. Mine gets stored from Thanksgiving weekend 'til mid- or late-March, depending on the weather gods here in Cleveland !!

Rule of thumb for a sports car.

First salt truck, car goes under cover.

OMG, I'm going blind!

no need to go blind Jerry I am lurking..... and peeking out in the garage and stroking errrrrr wiping down Mia

TOP DOWN?!?! Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Evening, All!!

Julia, Big hugs to you for what you do, and for what you go through as a yesult. And Hugs and condolences to Luke's famil>

Brenda, Welcome BACK!!! Reality Bites, doesn't it???

Freddie, nice toy!!!

Sorry, feeling

Mrs. T. had the cold all last week. She's just starting to get over it, but she decided to be kind and share

Off to curl up somewhere warm.........

Bill

Hey BT!

Freddie, That is so sweeeeetttt!!!

Superturtle, I feel like that too, hubby had one awful cold last week and just had to share too, going to take stock in Puff's tissues, they have to be making a killing with this weather.

Just got a call from my youngest son, he had a track meet all the way in Tom's River after school today, last week, I got a call that he was just leaving there at 7:10pm, tonight, nada, no call, had me worrying here all night, JUST got a call that he was leaving, omg!, that makes him getting back to the school at 10PM! That is just wrong having a school sport till that time of night. Rant over. At least he is safe and I will be heading out to pick him up soon.

Debbie B -- You gotta help me here. Tom's River.....New Joisey....January....snow storm coming....TRACK MEET???? Being that late back to school is one thing, but wearing those skimpy duds in that weather????

OK, OK, an indoor track meet. Is there some mega-facility in Tom's River?

Jerry...I could only dream of that being my shack! Ours a little more humble

Freddie...N I C E ! ! ! ! Just tuck her away for the next week or so...that darn weatherman keeps upping our snow amounts!

Been busy running around all day for doctor's appointments for Jared, along with having one sick twin with a mild fever/cold, picking up the other twin and spending lots of time in the car...relaxing on the sofa with Ken now, watching the Auburn/Oregon game.

Tomorrow is going to be another long day. Need to finish up getting things for Sarah's baby shower. Her big present should be here tomorrow...a glider rocker/ottoman Just love amazon prime that gives us 2 day free shipping! Plus the prices were drastically less than other websites with the same products! I plan to make a baby clothes line with a variety of things on it...a few outfits, burp cloths, blankies etc... Ken just rolls his eyes when I start mentioning shopping He will keep the twins busy while I shop Sarah is going with a Mickey Mouse theme with fire trucks and police cars thrown in. I can have lots of fun with that theme

I'm off til Thursday. Since I'm the cpr instructor, they scheduled me to teach on Thursday, which gives me Wednesday midnight off...no complaints from here!

Okay...I know I missed a lot on here today and I apologize...I'll go read the thread now...just caught the pic of the new ride and saw Jerry take our names in vain

Hugs and misses to all...

Julia...big hugs to you. I am so sorry for your loss. It is not an easy job that you have. Thanks for the reminder to hug our kids a little tighter. I've been getting that message a lot lately...

good evening gang

gooooooooo freddieeeeeeeeeeeee nice wheels

am going down for dinner
stay safe all
hugs

the company my husband works for will be opening the stock market tomorrow. don't know who is going to hit the opening bell. the company is emagin
hugs

Jeff, yes, huge indoor facility he went to for track. Just not around the corner from his H.S., takes an hour and half to get there. Not a lot of them around, so you gotta travel for indoor ones.

Ruthy , thats a put together house too

thats my son's house...and you know... I think that Mia would fit into the back of that Expedition.

Mia, a name for a car, how sweet? I call mine PITA.

10PM? Pffft. We've had baseball games start at 1:00am. Ya, that's "am."

e.

Debbie B -- Thanks for the info...

Julia, you are an angel on earth... thank you for all that you do and sending condolences to all family and friends.

Eric, when you were 16y.o.??? I don't think so...

No, actually, when my older son was 13. World Series game in Kansas City. Tournament got a "little" behind and the championship was at 1:00am. The really good part was that I was in the emergency room until about 3:00am with my son getting stitches after he (center field) and the shortstop ran into each other trying to get to a bloop fly ball. NOT FUN! (But we won.)

e.

Oh, World Series Game. That makes more sense.

Normally, H.S. sport functions don't go that late, was a little surprised. But, get this one, he has been invited to a huge track meet in NY next month! That's pretty big as for a sophmore to be competing with seniors, well, a feather in his hat for sure and he is very excited to go! I am sure that will be a late night! don't have all the paticulars yet, but who knows? He may end up in the olympics yet. Hey, a mom can dream, can't she?

Sounds like we have similar kids. Hunter made state track meet freshman and sophomore years. 100/200/4x100. And he isn't really on the track team! He plays baseball and goes to run when they don't conflict.

e.

E. interesting. Brandon does Cross Country and Field and Track, likes both but excels in Track, don't really know the lingo for track stuff but he does 400 and 800 and longer distance as well, has a private trainer for what I call the sprint ones as he has done really well in those, but I know he runs in longer distance too. Last meet he ran in two races.

How did he make state track if not on team? Just curious, still learning about it all, he's the last one, my other kids did baseball, soccer and girl did softball, field hockey and ASA Softball, lots of travel in ASA one.
