Fresh pot of coffee for 3/7/06

Morning, everyone!

Andy, I have Irfanview also and basically don't use it , except for resizing. But I can do that just with right-clicking too. Still, I know Irfanview has a lot of options that are not difficult to use. I use Paint Shop Pro 9 a lot. I love it. I have a collage creator software, but I have only used it once. Not too interested in in yet. I know my PSP will do it, but haven't tried it. Let me know if you have any success with it.

Hi, Dave. Depew is a suburb of Buffalo. The "other" New York. Buffalo is the second biggest city in the state, but just a fraction of NYC. I work in Bflo and it's a 7 and a half mile trip in, expressway all the way. Oh! In fact, since I start at 9:00, I'd better get moving! Thanks for the nice comments, Dave!

And thanks for the compliments, Debbie and Anita! Debbie, I've gotten help from you before when I was brand new to DG. Thanks again!

Al, you must be younger than I thought. How many kids do you have and how old are they?

I'll be back tonight.

Good morning everyone!
I hope ya'll are doing well.
Thanks for the coffee Dave(up early)
Nap your pictures are very purdy!
Debbie, I'm glad you had a chance to catch up, I wish it were nicer up here, I want to play outside... *Pouting* Thanks for the good wishes on the new job, if I can get through this without falling into a sleep deprived coma I think I'll enjoy it. You are either still working at your third shift job or your still keeping those hours! LOL! Look at the time on your post!

Andy, hi! How are you doing today? Sarah? I think I'd like to see some more of your lovely doggie flower!

Hi Anita, I've noticed how bright the mornings are and when they warm up a bit I'll use my evil brain powers to let you know I'm out in the garden with my coffee too.

Oh, Dave (nD) I only just got my digicam for my birthday, in January, so if I can figure out how to get my "crappy" (get it? cuz of the hoursie dervies) pictures on here, you can do it too. no excuses! We want to see your flowers! ; )

Hi Al, I see your son is taking after his daddy, in the dog house all the time!
That picture is gonna be priceless when he is 16 and seeing a girl...LOL!
Hang on to that one....

Excellent Al - I can't wait to see how they all look in my garden. I saw some plans for a copper pipe trellis that I might try when the weather warms up. I agree with Dena - that pic is a good ace in the hole!

Nancy - do you still have alot of snow? I saw a whole flock of robins yesterday!! There had to have been at least 35 of them!!! sooooo excited!

I agree with Dena, Andy - we need some new pics of Sarah!

Dave - you doin' the count down? I thought of you last night - they had the disney commercial where everyone can't sleep.

Dena - those evil brain powers...are they dangerous like microwaves and cellphones??

I think my dog house is outside.

Dave(no pictures) - I would agree, your project is to take a picture and post it here today - got any racoons?

you know - I didn't realize the time stamp on Debbie's post...YIKES!!! That's either too late or too early!

I think she just got back from the bars and could still type - that's odd Dena isn't it?

Anita, evil brain powers are not dangerous to me...
; )~

wipe your chin Dena - you've got some drool ; )~

I find that to be a problem here at DG, I think we should all be given bibs with our subscriptions...

O hey mg had that here.

**loving my own reply**

Hey, have you guys seen this thread....
http://davesgarden.com/place/t/581272/

I haven't been able to post on it as of yet, because of my own loss, I find my words may sting alittle and I'm affraid to hurt more than help, but you guys are so sweet and I know you can find caring words that will be encouraging and helpful.

with some careful filtering of emotion, I posted to that thread.

Nancpy,
I will briefly reveal my age and have a new picture of my kids for you later tonight.

thanks for alerting us to that thread Dena.

uhhohh - an unveiling??? Do I need to cover my eyes?

No - only protect the innocent

OK, due to overwhelming requests, (snicker) here is another pic of my sidekick.
It doesn't compare to Al's kid in the dog house, though.
She is waiting for me to through another cookie. From last Summer.
Andy P

Oh Andy! Thats a cute shot!
Sarah is so cute!

Scanned this for Equil. - a bit of older humor for you from the Onion

Hello folks!
Dena & Anita, you made beautiful posts on that thread!

Eveybody will have to wait for my garden to wake up to see pictures.

Anita, daylight savings time will soon rescue you from that sun problem, won't it?

Dave - we all know you don't have a camera - why do you try to impress us- it isn't working.

otherwise you could post a winter shot of some unknown grass like this.


Dena - this is one for you

Oh Al, what a lovely clump of grass, that should be living with me!

If you have the winter "doldrums" and you want to see some color, visit GardenGuyKins garden, if you haven't seen it yet...

Dave - daylight savings works for a little while and then it's lighter earlier again...

Wow Dena, that DG'er has a great yard. I can't believe the height on those brugs!!!

Hey Sarah!!! She's mid lick!! I love it.

you had better keep your eye on that puppy dog Andy, she is realy sweet, I know someone who would love to doggynap her even if it was only for a walk around the block...*sigh* I miss my dog...
give Sarah a big hug for me Andy, oh and one of those cookies, just one, we wouldn't want her to get to plump again...

Al, I haven't had any grass in a long time!

That's right..he's got a spa working in the yard..mud baths, mud facials..etc

yeah Dave (no grass) Look behind the grass in Al's picture, what do you see there?

Not sure what the evergreen plant is, I also a downspout, shovel and a pipefor. What were you going for?

The evergreen is Sarcoxie euonymous. Not a for sale picture by any means - more for my reference.

Dena - I'm still thinking I'll have it ID'd soon, real nice.

Dave if you want to smoke some of it that's cool too.

Hey I think I started my garden season today, I got some unexpected plants in the mail and put them in a pot on my porch.

Dave (no clue) I was getting at the shovel. Al, and his need to dig, I thought it was funny.

Al, my new Hydrangea macrophylla 'Nizza' is looking like crap! I'm gonna cut it back and plant it ASAP when the weather turns. AAAHHH!!!

You gotta get your Nizza out of the hizzy?

No one is going to ask "What's a pipefor?"?

Hey Dena, you calling me clueless?

Two more days of work, then my next day of work will be the FIRST DAY OF SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dave, I no "what's a pipefor" "a pipefor alotta things"


Al, LOL!!!!! Yes something like that ROTFLMBO!!!

Alright Nancy is sitting on this thread tonight waiting for me to do this.

These are my kids Reece(6) and Laurel(9), Reece's birthday is in like 2 1/2 weeks or so.
We got married 10 years ago when I was 30.
I think our kids are the only ones in school to have the same last name as both their parents.

Any questions(no questions)
Al

Al, I thought you were going to tell us how old you are!

Dave (not math)

Wow Al, your wife makes great kids! HI NANCY!
Your husband digs alot huh? have you tought him to run the vacumm?
: )

Dave if he got married ten years ago when he was 30, it would make him about ummmm 40

Yes, my age is starting to catch up to how I look.
I'm off vacuuming right now - dishes and laundry though.
