if people would start posting again we could drive the spammers away or at least cut the noise ratio. lee  SignatureLast night while sitting in my chair I pinged a host that wasn't there It wasn't there again today The host resolved to NSA. >if people would start posting again we could drive the spammers >away or at least cut the noise ratio. >lee Very true. So, what are you up to today? We got another 6" of snow last night so the school had a 2 hr. delay. I love to be able to sleep in :-) Nan >>if people would start posting again we could drive the >>spammers away or at least cut the noise ratio.

I love to be > able to sleep in :-) Boo's off this week. he is helping the burn builders. yesterday he learned how to operate the excavator (apparently much cooler than the backhoe on the tractor because you can make it spin). they were levelling the dirt underfloor & building up around the sills to make it level, but the cement floor won't be poured until thaw. today he took his hammer out to help install the doors & interior walls. i think the roof goes on tomorrow, but we're due to get your bad weather later this afternoon. mom's memorial service was scheduled for tomorrow, but dad moved it to Thursday (better chance mom will arrive in time anyway) seriously, your kids let you sleep later on school delay days? Boo is up at 5 no matter what! lee SignatureLast night while sitting in my chair I pinged a host that wasn't there It wasn't there again today The host resolved to NSA.

Heck yeh, if the girls don't have school, they don't get up. DD2 could sleep until noon. And if they get up before me, they don't wake me up.

Boo isn't allowed to wake me up until 6. we're still working on diferentiating weekends from weekdays, so i can at least sleep until 6:30 (if i'm asleep. i'm insomniac anyway so i'm frequently already awake) maybe he'll sleep later when he gets older... but he's 7.5 & this has been ongoing since, oh, birth. lee SignatureLast night while sitting in my chair I pinged a host that wasn't there It wasn't there again today The host resolved to NSA. >>>if people would start posting again we could drive the >>>spammers away or at least cut the noise ratio.

It was very sad circumstances though - he hermitted himself away from when he got the news. Didnt want any visitors. Didnt have his heating on or put his lights on (lived across the road) He was diagnosed just before christmas. dunno when the funeral is going to be - his young son is going to let me know so I can let his friends know. He died last friday so would have thought we'd have heard by now. > lol! you'd have thought they would have it sussed. it's been retiree haven for close to 50 years now, so yeah. they should have clue > friends death wasnt unexpected - he had liver cancer.

He died > last friday so would have thought we'd have heard by now. well, my mom died on a Thursday & the doctor didn't sign the death certificate until late the next Monday. then FL requires a 48 hour wait between the signing of the death certificate & cremation (so they're sure you're dead, i suppose). then my dad found out (he'd already travelled back up here) that the only way to ship the remains is through the post office, as none of the shipping companies will take them because there's no way to declare value. the postal system in the US is a bit, um, erratic, so we're not sure if mom will be here for the service tomorrow (2 weeks after she died). hopefully your poor neighbors family doesn't have to deal with such nonsense. personally, i think the whole death/funeral industry in the US needs an overhaul... it really preys on the bereaved & has too much 'legal' clout as to what can & can't be done with the dead. lee SignatureLast night while sitting in my chair I pinged a host that wasn't there It wasn't there again today The host resolved to NSA. >> if people would start posting again we could drive the spammers >> away or at least cut the noise ratio.

We'd had some warmer days and the snow was all gone, but the temps have still been somewhat cold and everything is still all gray and dead-looking. No green grass yet!

We usually have it in February or March, and sometimes we even get some snow then. Which I wouldn't even mind this winter, as we didn't have any over the last months, only enough to make the ground look white till the sun comes up.

Two weeks ago I was sat outside for my dinner, wearing a t-shirt. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/scrumble/images/hogwarts.jpg Although, as I appear to be working at Hogwarts, it could be some sort of side effect from the magic :) -- scrum >http://homepage.ntlworld.com/scrumble/images/hogwarts.jpg > >Although, as I appear to be working at Hogwarts, it could be some sort >of side effect from the magic :) What a beautiful building!

Bad week this week neighbour (and friend) died friday. dh is away and can't talk to him on phone cos of poxy time zones. ks fish are dying. Spent today in emergency eye clinic - vision in operated eye has gone blurry - probably is retinal edema. Got eye drops. But... did get rescued by an angel. Eye appt took so long supportive friend had to go home. Was going to get bus but try as I might I couldnt read the timetable. I even climbed on to the seats. Had two old dears helping me to no avail. Then a little very old, very posh lady asked where I was going. Told me to follow her. Had to cross several busy roads (half blind!) and ended up in a church carpark. Turns out she lives near me and she gave me a lift (several miles) to Ks school so I could be there to pick her up. > Then a little very old, very posh lady asked where I was going.

Angels, guardians whatever you call them, can swoop in and make us feel like the world is a good place and we get the chance to look at the world better. Take care of you and I hope the eye is much better soon. BTW how is K doing with her equestrian lessons? Cindi >> Then a little very old, very posh lady asked where I was going.

Supposed to be trotting and doing low jumps only her pony got over excited. It went into an unbalanced canter, *leapt* over the fence, and then sort of acclerated sideways. I closed my eyes. I didnt open them until I heard the gasp from the others watcvhing and thought 'ok shes landed'. Anyway she landed on her back/bum (body protector on), was winded and shaken. But she didnt cry. Excited pony was given a good run by experienced rider then dd got back on and had a little walk. Then got on another pony and did some little jumps to finish the lesson. She did have a bruised bum yesterday but that was it.
