That Mother Nature one is happening to us today, Festive. About an inch of snow is supposed to fall on us today, and I've got to drive 3.5hrs to Milwaukee tonight.

Oh well.

Happy birthday a day late, prance! Hope you had some good wine to celebrate it.

Oh dear I am sorry you have such a long drive ahead of you in those conditions. Praying for your safe travels. I hope the weather improves for you guys soon. Take good care today. Check in with us if you can so we know you arrived safely.

Safe travels!! Take it easy out there, Sean. Will keep you in my thoughts & prayers.

I'll be working in it for half the day, myself.
I was hoping for sunshine, and spring weather.

I love Five Guys burgers. Probably the best burger I have ever had. I use to work right next to one and I would treat myself once every 2 weeks there. I haven't been there in 4-5 years.

I guess that I am missing out huh?

I know, it's late. Had an urge to come to mmc tonight. I wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you all and that I'm still here. Doing ok, just taking one day started time and trying to live life.

Tomorrow, I have taken a day off of work to help my son move out. He's 23 and wants to do so and so i figure that he has to find out for himself what it's like to pay bills, live somewhere else, buy your own food etc.

Well off to bed. Mimi is already curled up in bed asleep and I do believe that I am going to follow her lead. Goodnight.

Good luck to your son my friend!

Merry Morning.
April!! I don't even know how we managed to be so far into the year already.
What better day to celebrate the start of a new month than on a Friday and the start of the weekend!

Wishing you all a happy and healthy April and a weekend filled with your favourite things.

I seriously feel like I blinked and missed March. It went 2-3 times faster than Jan/Feb did to me. Too fast.

Stay safe my friend. April is TOO LATE for snow IMO. But we may get some wet snow here this weekend and early next week...hopefully won't stick though.

I've been thinking...I'm not really that crazy about the BERS, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas...ok nobody on these boards is going to believe that April Fools joke.

Good Friday Morning MMC! TGIF! Happy April! Whoa April...I feel like I missed March. Well we go forward into the 2nd quarter of the year. I feel like we got an early spring and now that spring is here we're kind of going back and forth between spring weather and almost borderline winter weather. I'm so happy it's Friday. My brother is coming tonight to hang out, play a few games and have some cake & coffee. Sounds like a good Friday night to me. Saturday I have errands to do and may make nutella pancakes (never made those before). Sunday I'm going to my Uncle's for the walking dead finale as he will have dinner for us and we have fun together with it. Lots to enjoy this weekend despite the up and down weather.
Happy April Fools Day everyone or as I say Mr. T. Day!

Good morning!

Waiting for daylight so I can start the sump pump ~ it will be the second time today. Things were going great until around 5:00 p.m. yesterday when the rain started. I had tentative plans to go to the first church rummage sale of the season, but am staying home all day.

Continued prayers for all!

Hope everyone has a safe and merry day!

Good Morning, my Friends.
Ready to see today's numbers?

Feast your eyes:
Days to the Season: 226
Days to Christmas Day: 268

And we are now under four weeks away from BOTH of our next two Milestones, the 1/3 point to Christmas Day and the 200-day Season Window.
No foolin'
Just check the chart!

Lots of clouds yesterday but no rain, as our good weather luck continues.
Today has started out nice too, at 69 degrees, with the promise of warm temps this afternoon, abeit with a pretty strong chance of rain.

Oh. Before I sign off.
Carl wants everyone to know that he would like to see as many people as possible drop by the 'Pines today, but to tell you the truth I might be hesitant to go in light of today's date. He had a glint in his eye that made me more than a little uncomfortable!

Have a Fabulous Friday, Folks!

Thanks Crown. I don't trust Carl on April Fool's Day...

Good evening, everyone!

Just checking in for a quick "hello." It's been an interesting week. I have been told that my job has been "posted" and should be filled by the middle of next week. I'm really hoping so!

Today was interesting... I could not teach my physical education classes. At hockey last night, I went to block a slap shot and was struck in the side of the neck with a puck. It was quite painful. I didn't get a concussion, but I had plenty of difficulty breathing and getting up afterward... I just came back from the doctor, and it seems as if everything is OK. I just need to keep icing and watching it to make sure it goes down. Fun stuff!

Well, I need to get some school work done. Have a great Wednesday evening, everyone. See you at the 'Pines!

I am late to the thread but I hope you are feeling much better. Just your description of the incident is scary in and of itself.

Good morning, Happy Thursday!
I'm just having my coffee & watching the news. I didn't sleep well last night so I don't plan on doing too much today. I'm going to tidy up the house and work on the laundry. It's going to be a nice day, highs near 60 degrees. Showers moving in later tonight. I'm going to head out soon and take Maggie for a walk. I'm making chicken parmigiana and spaghetti for dinner. That's about it for me. Hope everyone is well and has a nice day!

Poor little Maggie waking up at night. At least she is doing well with her medicine. I hope you get more rest over the weekend.

Nutella pancakes sound delicious. Anything with Nutella is delicious.

I'm keeping you in my thoughts, hope the sump pump keeps everything under control.

Last day of the week and then I have a 3-day weekend. I need it. Workload is insane right now as we're hiring and it's time to see all of our employees for their yearly evaluations. I'm working the evening shift today, it's rather annoying because my husband is going to see the pre-season game between the Blue Jays and the Red Sox in Montreal tonight with his father and I am majorly jealous and sad that I can't go

Hope everyone will have a good Friday
