Afternoon all! Snow is headed to London Ontario tonight. Up to 10cm or more! Everyone else here is angry about it. I'm happy about it! Yay! William had a great birthday. Ill have to post some pictures tonight if I have time when I get home! My shift is changing next week from 10am-7pm with weekends off to 12pm-9pm with weekends off. Time to get back to work! Busy busy! Have a great day everyone!

If you went through via I-85, you passed through McAdenville, NC, Christmas Town, USA!! That's my hometown! It's about 10 minutes from Charlotte.

haha! I know what you mean...I loved driving through Pa,and WVand even northern north carolina...the neat thing is my car's GPS system gives you the altitude and when I was in the mountains I was 3000 to 2000 ft and snow was still on the ground. The rest of NC was just going downhill and by the time I get to Charlotte it was alot warmer and it looked basically like Georgia. No more huge mountain ranges. Just rolling hills. I am coming back to Wv this summer because I hear they have agreat Rapids and love water Rafting! you wanna go with me xmas365??:

Good morning, Christmas friends. It is still overcast here in northern California. All the talk by gabulldawg has me homesick for NC. My sister-in-law is a vice president for B of A and has to fly to Charlotte a lot. She loves it there. We were back there last summer, but the humidity in the summer gets to me. It made my skin look great, but it did nothing for my hair except frizz it up! I do miss the four seasons, though. I have my first physical therapy today. I am looking forward to getting my arm back in commission. Coach is #1!

Jimmyolson and I chat often through these forums. Clever writer indeed! cheesy

It would have been right after Belmont and before Gastonia. Not sure if the Christmas sign is on the freeway; probably not. But you should see the freeway at Christmas time!!! Bumper to bumper. When I was growing up, we had to walk at night to get to church or anywhere else because we could not get out of the driveway because of the traffic!! Coach is #1!

I was amazed at the lack of traffic..maybe it's just because I am use to fighting it in Atlanta so much. The freeways were free of any tie ups and the city looked great. I even saw a bunch of US Airways planes coming in for landings although I did not have time to exit and take any photos of the airport. I will try to notice next time I come through there!cheesy

Hello Christmas friends! Its been too long once again since I have been on here and I sure do miss you Christmas folks.

Anways not a whole lot going on. Evan (my 4 year old) has his first Tee Ball practice tonight. Im so excited for him. Also he has been very good at his little preschool which makes me so happy. He is out of his Toddler bed and in his big boy twin bed now..and Dylan (18 months) has moved into the toddler bed and has been doing great also. I have a lot of posts to catch up on. I hope you all are doing wonderful! xoxoxo

QUOTE Gabulldawg:
"One other thing that has really surprised me was the beauty of the Charlotte skyline! I love taking photos of different cities skylines...charlotte,philly,atlanta,and louisville,ky are among the best I have seen on the East side of the country...but until I actually drove through Charlotte I thought it was a much smaller place. The bank of America tower made it look as if I was driving into the city of Oz! I took alot of photo's on this trip which I will post soon!"

I lived in Charlotte myself for 5 months back in 1981 when I was in training for my first insurance job with The Travelers.

Made, I sure could use some help here if you want to come down!

If I hadn't ran over that piece of metal on the interstate this morning I would be on my way. Unfortuantely it bounced up into my radiator and left a nice size hole. In the 3 miles I had left to get home my truck overheated and I am pretty sure that I blew the head gasket.:-?

Well I should be getting my car back today. They agreed to fix it for free even though the labor was only under a 1 year warranty, they said it was so close they would do it free. I asked if it was going to be an ongoing problem, they said that they didn't think so. Hopefully this is the last time I have to get this done. By the way they had to replace my rack and pinion, not sure if I said that last time.

Glad to hear that they did it for free!!!!!!!cheesy
