I have a ton of VHS tapes. They are mostly from when my girls were small. I hate the thought of parting with them, they are sentimental to me.
You sound super busy, I hope you get some time to relax!

We have a ton of 'em, too, mostly stuff we recorded off the air. We'll hang onto them as long as we can play them!

Well it's been quite the day. Mom's migraine is getting better thankfully, so we didn't have to go to the doctor's for her to get a shot. My sister was also in a lot of pain this morning though so I ended up taking her to the ER instead. We all thought it was a kidney stone but the tests all came back negative. So the doctor at the ER thinks it's an ulcer. So they told her what to take and if it's not better in a couple of days, she is supposed to follow up with her regular doctor.

So needless to say, I didn't get anything done today. I also see that I am way behind on here. I'll try to get back here later and catch up but I won't make any guarantee's.

Happy evenin', y'all!

We're back from Savannah, and I think it went well. The early prognosis is good, and we're waiting for final confirmation. Thanks for all the prayers and positive vibes!

Have a great evening, everyone! cheesy

Goodness! I'm glad your mom is feeling better, but I'm sorry about your sister's pain. We need to get our families on the mend!

Thank you Seawaters!
The last time it snowed we got a foot. I am watching the news right now and they are increasing the accumulation for tomorrow. They say we may see up to 14 inches. I am thinking about heading back out to the supermarket in a little while. I'm afraid if I wait until tomorrow there wont be anything left!
Two of my daughters work at the outlets and they are usually good about closing during a snowstorm. My middle one just started a new job at Aldi. She is supposed to work tomorrow afternoon in to the evening, during the storm. I'm hoping they will close the store early! I will definitely be driving her in!

They upped our forecast a bit to 5 to 8 inches. Stay safe! I hope you can get what you need at the supermarket.

Good afternoon!
I'm having a quick cup of coffee before I get started on some more chores. I also need to make biscuits to go with my chicken soup. I ran a few errands earlier, I wanted to go to the supermarket but it was so crowded. I got a parking spot and went in to the deli department first to get some cold cuts. I took a number and realized there were about 20 people ahead of me. It was ridiculous, I decided to leave. I will go early tomorrow morning, hopefully they will still have everything that I need.
My youngest is home from school today and she has been begging me to take her to get her belly button pierced. I don't really want her to do it. She's been relentless and now I feel a headache coming on. I would have been better off staying in the supermarket. She just left to get a manicure so I have a few minutes of peace!
I hope everyone is having a great day so far!
Talk to you later!

Life with teens is so much fun!
When my daughter wanted to get a tattoo I told her to wait until she turned 18, think about the type she wanted, look up all the info on it and if she still wanted it at that time I would support her choice. She did get it, but not until she turned 24, which was great because she paid for it! LOL.

What brand is your bread machine, Star?

Black & Decker all in one horizontal deluxe. About 4 years ago I was in one of those liquidation stores and this one, brand new was only $20. Best buy I ever made. Love this machine. I use it a lot and it still runs great.

Those are beautiful … I can practically smell them!
I'd love to have one warm, with butter melting on it and just a touch of honey ....

I always have to have one fresh out of the oven! I like mine the same way, so good.

Well, the wife just called said we are having breakfast for dinner tonight! Man, I just love breakfast for dinner...

Well, it's been a long day here at the office so I'm going to pack it up and call it a night. Think I'll make a little stop at home depot on the way home and pick up a few things. With the snow coming tomorrow, I'm going to stay home. so then this way, I will have a few supplies to complete a couple of honey-Do projects on my list.... See Ya! :snowball

I saw this done on a tv show and since I needed to brighten up the room thought I would see how it looks.
I got this one at a thrift store a few years ago, like the bright look of it.
What do you think?

He is currently waiting for permits to take a load on the road.
