.....Crown - did you visit O'Malley recently, he seems to be extra sleepy these days....

No, he dropped by here for a short nap. Not to worry - we were in separate beds.
(Oh by the way, If he demonstrates a trace of narcissism, beware that he stopped by the Shsipering Pines to visit with Carl a spell on his way back to you.)


<< 'Twas the day before Friday, and all through the thread,
not a member was snoring ('cept Crown in his bed). >>


Good Morning, all.

Hmmm..... We once had a poll about what we most looked forward to - Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.
Should we conduct a similar poll on Friday vs Friday Eve?
(Nah! I think I know what the results would be!)

Wow! What heat all of a sudden!
Mid 90's yesterday and the weather service now predicts at least 5 straight days where the high will not be below 97.
And it's not even Summer yet. Geez!

Days to the Season: 161
Days to Christmas Day: 203
Close - so close - to the 200-Day mark!
Then next month - the 2/3 Season mark.
Can the year really be going by that fast?
Are we on a rocket ship back to the Christmas Season?

Have a Thrilling Thursday, fellow Christmas Comrades!

Good morning Holiday, yes it is almost F day, as Cedar saids. We are real nascar fans here & was wondering if you can tell us who won the race. They are here the July 4th week end at Watkins Glen racing, hope to try to get there to see them .

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning! I can hardly stand the anticipation.....it's ALMOST FRIDAY!!! :???:
Had a fun night last night...they were able to run the Prelude To A Dream at Eldora. We didn't actually go this year (1st one we've missed ) but we went to the local pub w/ my sister & her hubby & watched it on Pay Per View! It was so fun to watch! I don't know how many of you are Nascar fans, but it is just wild to know that there are 20 some Nascar stars (Jeff Gordon, Kasey Kahne, Tony Stewart, Ray Evernham, Matt Kenseth, Mark Martin, Bobby Labonte, Kyle Petty, DW, etc.) racing 20 minutes from our house in our little "hick town" area!! The drivers had a ball "drivin in the dirt" & I'm sorry we weren't there, but it was very cool to watch it on tv & catch all the interviews & the drivers screwing around...the stuff you miss if you are actually there! Anyway...it got a little late last night & I'm a little sleepy this morning, but it will be alright!!

Have a super day! It's going to be a HOT one here...93 & humid as all get out!!!

Good Morning. A mellow day here. I don't work today but will attend my daughters vacation bible school at noon for a little skit and some singing they plan to do for the parents. Our weather today looks like this... Rain showers likely in the morning...then chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Highs around 60. I don't think we will be back up into the 70's until next week. Hope everyone has a good day!
