Howdy everyone! :hi:

I painted almost every bit of that swing yesterday with just a few spots to go but I ran out of paint. Plan on buying some more today. Guess what? Now my swing is sitting out in the rain "drying"! Ha ha! I guess I should have checked the weather because I could have set it under the porch awning if I knew that. It will be okay. It should have been dried before it rained but now I have to wait for the water to completely dry before I can finish painting it.

Sorry I'm a slacker on here! It's going to be a very busy day today so I will try to catch up on here later.

Have the most Merriest Day Ever!!!

We all need to slack every now and then.

This is so hilarious!!! What is even funnier is that as the music played, a pop-up at the bottom came up: CA Anthem Medicare!!! Did you do that too?

Can't say that was me. cheesy

Choice would be good. When I had the chemo-port put in, the doctor asked me what kind of music I wanted and I chose Christmas. When I woke up, the Christmas music was still playing. I asked him if they turned it off after they put me to sleep and then back on just before I woke up, but he said no!!!

It is amazing how much Christmas music relaxes me.

Good afternoon,

I did my running around, including getting my haircut done this morning. Now I have to clean a little. I hope everyone is having a good day.

Good afternoon everyone!

Day two of the first full week of February and we're only a week away from reaching the one quarter mark to the Christmas Season. Quite the accomplishment already!

Not much is new here. My week became more busy yesterday. I received a call for an interview for a Program Officer position with the Ottawa Carleton Ultimate Association. I'm excited. I really need to perform well at this interview. Aside from education, I think getting into the sports field would be my best interest. I am really starting to pursue it hard. Of course, having played competitive Ultimate since 2006, a job with OCUA would be incredible. Wish me luck!!

Other than the interview tomorrow evening, I have a couple of assignments to complete for my class as well as the usual working out and other things. I hope everyone has been having a great week so far. The 'Pines should be in full swing tomorrow! Have a great Tuesday!

Good Luck!!!!!

I've heard that Carl has a special guest lined up for tomorrow.

Ain't that the truth? I am sure, though, that it was needed. I would also be willing to bet that someone lower on the pole had suggested it a long time ago. Of course it wasn't a priority then!!! I see that (oops, SAW that) a lot. For example, I was a proponent of having locked classroom doors all day long for over 20 years. We were told we could lock the doors, BUT we would have to have a door block on (a thingy that wraps around the door handles) so the door would stay ajar. Then with the shootings in Sandy Hook, we were given the option of locking and fully closing the door or of locking and using the door block. Some things just don't make sense!

nothing like a visit for corporate to get things cleaned up!

Say it ain't so, MGRamsey!!! The Braves and the Dodgers??? Of course when I say Yankees, I get booed on here. No one knows a good team, LOL! But I have been a Yankees fan ever since I was first in grade school. I remember watching them at least from the time I was in second grade, way back in 1954!!!

Living in NC, we are Braves fans. I grew up listening to their games on the radio, long before the days of cable and satellite TV. I remember hiding my little radio in my bed and listening to games, past my bed time, with the ear plug. I now have XM satellite radio so I can listen to every teams games on radio. After Braves games are completed, I enjoy listening to Vince Scully broadcast the Dodgers home games from LA. I can usually get 3 innings in before heading to bed.

I don't think I need to wish you luck; you can do this! I truly hope you get the job. When will you find out for sure?

Me, too. I have my Christmas CDs in the car. During the school year, I had the computer on cued to MCR. I would play Christmas music in the background and would turn it up when the kids were not in class.

I've been a Braves fan since 1966. Growing up the Braves were the only games I could get on the radio. TV only had the Saturday game of the week so radio was the way to follow baseball closely. Baseball is a perfect sport for radio. Later, I could watch the Braves games all over the country on TBS. We lived in Dallas for 6 years and I traveled a lot for work so it was great to still watch all their games.

I listen to Dodger games just to hear Vince Scully. He is easily the greatest baseball broadcaster ever. He has been broadcasting the Dodgers since 1952 when they were still in Brooklyn.

It is overcast and a little chilly this morning in northern California. I am going to work on organization today. One of the things I will do this week is to type up info on what I have learned about retirement, Social Security, and Medicare. I will post it when I have finished so that if anyone here needs it, all will have access to it. I don't want anyone to be as frustrated as I was.

I wish you could hear the "holding" music I had to listen to, but you would have to enter too much info to get to the "speak to an agent" line. So sad I cannot share such a (NOT) wonderful resource! LOL!

I really was not into baseball, but my dad loved to watch it and listen to it on the radio. And I loved spending time with him, so the Yankees became "my" team, too! Now college basketball is another matter. I am sure you realize that, being from NC yourself! I remember listening to that on the radio in '64 and '65 especially. Loved hearing the East Coast teams play. I am a dyed-in-the wool Duke fan but loved the others, too, especially when they were not playing Duke.

I'm a Tarheel fan. Dean Smith was almost diety.
