Ahhh,, there's Maria's handsome boy! So far, Sammi isn't bothering his stitches, so no Elizabethan collar for him. Good to see him happy again.

And Elaine has a clean floor thanks to the washing machine! That's not killing the laundry monster, that 's taking him for a swim! I'm sure he appreciated it.

Our crazy weather is cold again and it was snowing until about an hour ago. Sorry to be sending it down towards our southern friends, but maybe this will be the end of it.

Anne, (Magoobu) nice to see you back. We understand how life interferes with our DG pleasures. Carat's been among the missing too, and it's good that she popped in to say hello.

Sarv, my golf partner uses one of those exercise balls and she loves it. The first one she got wasn't big enough, and may have been lacking in strength, because the first time she used it, she flattened it!! She got a better one and likes it very much, but I haven't been tempted. If I get on the floor, there better be something handy for me to pull myself up with, or I'll be there until DH comes home.

Mary, good luck on the ride, hope you remember all your necessities. It sounds grueling. Love the mousie vision....A couple years ago I bought a couple of videos for the cats (yeah, I know I'm nuts) and they loved it! They would sit for hours and watch the birds, mice, etc. I used to put it on when we were going to be gone for the day. There's a picture below.

Carat, when we built, our builder told us that ceiling fans were out of style, but we put them in anyway. I love them. They help circulate the heat in winter and the cool air in summer. The only downside is dusting them, and if I ask DH to bring in the big ladder, he'll climb up and do it for me. Cats like the ladder too!!

Susan, (9kitty) did the trimmers clean up their debris? Last year the town was chipping limbs and yard waste, so I asked them what they did with it. Got a truckload of excellent mulch for a couple of areas that needed it. Not the best, because it's not really chopped, it's more shredded, but for the areas I needed it for it was fine. And free.

McCool, LOL at your rant. I can't send DH to the store for more than two items. That's all the info he can handle. Anymore than that and I end up with tuna packed in oil, or some weird brand I never heard of, and he wouldn't use a coupon if his life depended on it. Must be that guy thing where if they don't do it well, they trust you won't ask them to do it again. (Bal, Ernie and Oz are excepted from this as we know how competent they are).

The other night, I loaded the dishwasher, but didn't start it, because I knew we were having rice pudding later. DH took our used pudding dishes and put them in the dishwasher, and I called out, "It needs soap", so, he put the dishwasher detergent in the dispensers. The next afternoon, I went to empty it, and put the dishes away, and they were dirty! My first thought was %#$@% dishwasher, something else has gone wrong. NO. He just didn't turn it on. Guy thing, I guess.

Robert (Bal), isn't that your friend you made breakfast for one day and posted a photo for us? I'm sorry to hear he has had a stroke, but glad he is doing well. You've been working so hard. When will the training start for your new kid?

Ahhh, so if life begins at 40, I'm only 30, and nothing should hurt when I crawl out of bed in the morning! Now if only someone would find the fat fairy, and do something about my rear end.

Dcat, did you win anything at the casino? I take my profit there at the buffet table, not sure they are coming out ahead on me!

~~~to everyone, have a sunny day!

See y'all later!

Sheila
