After I created the link, I highlighted it again and clicked the U button at the top of the text box, then I changed the font color. It's a little extra work, but, since I'm colorblind, it's hard for me to see the slight color change between normal text and a link.
It is ABSOLUTELY true.
Good Friday morning, my Christmas friends!
I worked on my side business till 8:30 last night. I finally had supper, and just as I was settling down to relax, my boss called. He'd been out golfing, and realized he was locked out of the office...where he left his car keys. I had to come back to work to let him in the office at 9:30 last night. After a shower and PJs, I finally sat down at 10:30. *yawn*
At least it's FRIDAY!! Mom's back from the mountains, so I'll have lunch with her and my kids today.
I hope y'all have a great day! Don't forget: breakfast at Bernie's in the morning! cheesy

So that's "madeira"! As in "Have Some Madeira, M'Dear"---Michael Flanders says, "My little nephew thinks it's about cake ..." but the song is actually about an innocent girl getting drunk on Madeira wine. That confused me for many years.

So good to see so many members "returning to the roost"! Every day I see a name or two that has been absent for a while.
Mr.'s overtime work didn't come in until after 12:30 last night ... he didn't get home until after 2:30. And he has to be back at his office by 10:15 this morning. I already said it last night, but: It just isn't fair. I hope he gets home at a decent hour tonight so we can at least have some dinner together before bedtime. We've had no time together this week (well, not when we're awake at the same time!), and he hasn't been able to get to bed before 1 a.m. all week. I worry about whether the schedule he has to keep---between work and helping to care for his father---will affect his health. There's very little I can do except be there when he can be at home. I hope the vacation will help, and that nothing will intervene to prevent it.
Just trying to keep this in mind: the sun setting over Mauna Kea ...

great!
My mom is also now telling everyone that she has everything she needs too. She enjoys going out for lunch and tea with friends so we now get her what she can use too...gift cards for her favorite coffee shop and restaurant.
hoping it is on here too
you did not miss any opera...unless I did, but pretty sure I did not and neither did you so we are OK.
you did not miss Elf either, it is on tonight
Penny has been very cuddly lately, especially when I get on here to answer posts...I think she can sence though the computer what a wonderful bunch of animal lovers you all are!!
Have a great day!! ((((HUGS))))
love it, thanks!

I agree, it is good to see so many returning members! I'm sorry Mr. is having such a time at work - I hope things will settle down and you get to see him (and not just in passing) and that nothing prevents your vacation from happening. Such a beautiful picture - viewing that in person has to be such a stress-reliever! Have a good day, and weekend, too, Merry!
My dad really liked getting gift cards, too, especially the ones for the gas station he frequented the most.
Penny is one smart cat!

I am working at home today due to the Bavarian Festival happening in Muth. I am avoiding the crowds and have put off going to the store until Monday/Tuesday. I am taking care of the "busy work" that has piled up in such a quick time. It seems I never get to enjoy a clear desk for very long. There are a lot of distractions, though. Palmer is running about playing and Phantom of the Opera (Gerard Butler, sigh) is on (free HBO this weekend!) - I'm just listening to the music, but every now and then I want to get up and dance and sing. Good thing there aren't cameras/microphones that link us to the site :grin:
:dance:
:dance:
I have to go and do that wonderful task we all love and adore....paying bills!
After that I am going to work, then handing out more resumes in an attemp to find some better work with more hours.

Another great countdown addition!!!!!!!!

86 days until September 1...the first day of the "brrrrr" months (SeptemBER, octoBER, NovemBER, DecemBER)!!!!!!!
Divvie up the hours, send us the phone numbers and we'll be his wake up calls. And no back talk or mumbling if we wake him up. Especially if I call from the west coast!!!
The Lear jet's fueled up and ready to go. Carl called and wants to know how many of you would like for me to lower a hammock and let you jump in and have a hydraulic lift you up, just for grins?
