Yeah, work internet hiccup. It didn't show up until I logged back in. Deleted them.

@wardancer Check out this site f you haven't. It might help with the Windows issues. Gizmo's Freeware Just search for Win10 stuff in the search box. Good luck. My new laptop has it, and I"m not crazy about it at all, but I"m getting used to it.

Oh, before I forget, guess what I"m getting for Christmas you guys??? Four new wheel bearings for my car. $500 bucks installed. It's in the shop now. Front one went out a few days ago, but today was the first day the shop had open to check it out. They said one was really, really bad, and one just bad. Hubby said since they all had the same amount of miles on them, replace them all. Makes sense, but bah, humbug.

Thanks , the next time I feel like raising my blood pressure and kicking in the old anger issues I'll work on this super intelligent , super fast , used to do everything boat anchor ! Or I may just calmly buy a new one ! Grrrrrr...
Coffee please !

[OLChemist]

I see frozen people.

[wardancer]

Coffee ! With extra heat ! -5 here this morning with a wind chill of -13. Brrrr......Horses are staying in the barn out of the wind ! Thomas goes out long enough to do his business and then back in the nice warm house !

70F at noon yesterday; 15F this morning. My 1920's house isn't built for this. I've got half the taps in house running to keep the pipes in the attic from freezing.

Hello errbody! I was just passing through and thought I'd say hi! I hope everyone is well.

LOL! My son and his wife live an hour east of Chicago and they moved this weekend. He called and was like "mom, it's soooo cold." I just laughed and said that's why he would only see his parents visit in mid summer.

I got the most incredible package from a cousin on my mom's side of the family. It was several postcards written to her and by her to my grandma. The earliest post ark is 1920 and the oldest one 1950. Before she even met my dad. It was a little peek into her life and so cool.

A giant cup of ice, please.

We're about to have our company holiday get together. The founder's wife makes this hot spiced punch. It is really good, but she heats it up in a 1970's avocado green office/party sized percolator. It has so much sugar and other colloids that it has a boiling point 5-10F above that of water. In styrofoam cups it takes a good 30 mins to cool to drinkable. We always run around before the party warning the newbies and the temps not to take a big old slug of the stuff or you won't be able to taste anything until the new year, LOL.

It is going to be a weird party. We're losing a bunch of people. Two who have been here since my first day. Ms Freddie is retiring. She is one of those people who has a profound relationship with the Creator and just radiates peace and joy. We're not really friends, per say; she is my elder and is one of those people who deserves the title and respect. But it is going to be a big hole in my day without our daily exchange of greetings.

[subeeds]

So, did you find a big cup of ice? LOL! It's a foggy early Christmas eve morning here. I have the weekend off and once I get home in a few hours, I'm not leaving until I have to come back to work Monday night. Traffic on I-95 is really heavy-and everybody is in a rush. I guess they think Florida will disappear if they don't hurry and get there.

I lost a very dear friend to cancer yesterday, I"m grateful she's out of pain, but I am going to miss her like crazy. One of those people that when you meet them, you know instantly you will be friends forever, and we were.

If you are traveling over this holiday weekend, please be safe, and have a very Merry Christmas!!!!

Bartender...I want a shot of that redhead over yonder looking at me!

Installed it , tried to burn a music cd , failed , uninstalled it , re-installed it , failed again. I'm ready to transfer it to the "boat anchor pile ! Been many months so can't go back to windows 7......
Then last night our dog bit me ! Decided he'd rather sit by mom than go to bed......Grrrrrr so I'm ready to shoot him !
I need coffee...................please !

How are things everyone?

I'm just enjoying my time off of work for the holiday break. We are closed from 23rd through Jan 2. Nice long paid break.

Loaded my truck with fence panels and drove to CT yesterday to help my uncle fix his fence so the deer stop getting into the yard. 3 hour trip took almost 5 hours because traffic was terrible. Sat in traffic from the NJ/NY border all the way through to his house. Drove home in just under 3 hours. I can't believe all of the morons on the roads these days. I had people tailgating me even though I had a load that extended beyond my tailgate (flagged of course), people cutting me off and cutting off big trucks, and people driving down the shoulder and passing on the exit only lanes. The plus side I got to put my new impact driver to the test.

Why am I visualizing you opening the window and driving a nice fat lag screw through a rude motorist? Road rage by paragraph break.

I would love to do that or beat someone with the drivers manual for each state. I've driven in a lot of states in the US and I have to say that NJ and CT drivers need to be retested - way too many terrible drivers. On I-95 in CT people slow down just because the road curves just ever so slightly that and my favorite - because someone has pulled over to pee and everyone has to watch.
