There is NO WAY I would survive an encounter with one of those. :o
 
Good afternoon gang .. I stopped into the grocery store last night and what did I find in the clearance section ... Eggnog! Small cartons of eggnog and I immediately thought of my online friends here :-D

Over the Easter break I cleaned out my closet and was able to fill a small tote with gifts I bought for Christmas and I have more gifts on layaway. Going to need to get a bigger tote soon cheesy

Well off to read up on the posts I missed. Have a great day!

Nope I didnt. I only brought enough cash with me to get what I needed. I plan on going back later this week and if there is any left then I will be getting some.
 
Howdy All my Christmas Friends. Been a crazy two weeks. First Saturday was the baby's first birthday and she had a really great time. Than on Sunday after Easter Dinner we ended up taken her to the ER and looks like she has Bronchitis and possible Asthma. Than Tuesday we got great news that she is no longer allergic to Milk. So for the first time we coudl start giving her stuff that has milk in it.

The hope is now that we can get her to fatten up a little she is 30 in tall and barley 17 and 1/2 lbs. Doctor never been worried but me and the wife always worry. For the last few months she has been on 5 grams of protein Almond milk and before that was cans of nutragen. the Nurtragen was like 30 doallars for about 3 days worth.. Insane few months., Now with the milk allergy gone hopefully things will settle out more.

Good Morning MMC!!!!!! It looks like spring is finally gaining a grip here in central Indy and it's going to be another beautiful day here in central Indy. My day is going to be spent babysitting for a little while longer and then I have to do some more cleaning. I also need to go watch a Christmas video or two to get the image of snakes and spiders crawling all over my apartment out of my head now. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!

All man, when I used to put up real Christmas trees, I would have to wear a long sleeve shirt and gloves every time or else I would end up itching and scratching all night long. It was one of the reasons why we have the fake ones now......

and I am trying to convince a cold sore not to take up residence on my lip!
yes, vitamins...I take them but am not very consistent with it even though I know they really make a difference.

And then, there was this one year when we cut down a live tree at a Christmas tree farm, brought it home, set it up and after it was in the house for a few hours and started heating up to room temperatures, the tree came alive.... Yes, a huge nest of spiders started to spread out everywhere's!!! I thought my wife was going to come out of her skin, yelling and running from the basement to upstairs...

That thing was so full of them, I had to take it outside and put a torch to it. Then go get another one from a different place. Yes, this is a true story.... needless to say, she wouldn't go near the tree all season; kept looking at it, the walls, the ceilings like it was going to come alive....

That is horrifying. I don't mean to change the subject but that reminds me of a story that was on our local news station just yesterday. A woman bought a bag of potpourri at a Homegoods. She saw that pieces of it had dropped to the floor from the dish she had put it in. She sifted her hand through the potpourri and found an 8 inch strip of fresh snake skin. She believes the snake was in the bag of potpourri and is now on the loose in her house!

Good morning! Just walked the dogs, its another chilly day. And the wind makes it feel so much colder. I am a little headachey this morning. I am going to take something and lay down for a little while. Unfortunately I do have to go out today. I have some errands that I can't put off. My daughter is in a nursing program and will be graduating tomorrow night. I am going to the mall for an outfit to wear and to buy my daughter a gift. I am excited for her and so very proud. I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

What a wonderful profession ! I am proud of her too. The world cannot have too many good nurses. I hope your head feels better. I have the same problem today.....xo

Ugh, cold sores ... I get one a few times a year. Large doses of lysine (an OTC supplement) help to drive them away. 3,000 to 5,000 mg a day, as soon as you know one is coming on. When one gets entrenched, I'm stuck with it for a week or ten days.

I don't think I have ever had one......
