I can't believe how quickly this year is going by! I had some pre-Christmas anticipation last week, when I was packing up for when we move, when thru all my decorations to see which ones needed to be recycled. I also have an application for my phone that counts down the day till Christmas, so every morning I get to see how many days left!!

One of my fave shows!!! Oooh, is it new tonight?!

 

[MerryCarey]

Can you tell I'm peeking in from the office? cheesy

Did someone say OPREA???????

[SPELL CHECK] No, OPERA! [/SPELL CHECK]

You guys are my heroes!! When you all write such uplifting posts and comisserate (spelling?) with me, it makes it all worthwhile. Thanks, all!

[SPELL CHECK] commiserate [/SPELL CHECK]
(And you a teacher! cheesy)


See you at the 'Pines!

I would love to see a picture of it!
RadioJonD is MY hero!!!

When I get it fixed I'll post one.

Yep, CM3, the pain is great. I can hardly wait to see the orthopedist! He will be my new best friend!
RadioJonD is my hero!

((((HUGS)))) hope you feel better real soon!

I understand why people fear of retaliatory attacks, but I remember after 9/11 I was fearful of quite a few things, but I learned not to worry about it, if it is my time to leave this earth, it is my time. I will not celebrate in someones death, but I do have a sense of satisfaction of what has been accomplished.

Well said!

Friends, I'm just now getting over the bug that I had the past few days.
RJD IS MY HERO (so is Binger and Made)!!

Glad to read you are feeling better!

Good evening, everyone. Today was a total ORDEAL!!
RadioJonD is my hero!!!

I hope today was much better!

Darn. If you see a guy on tv with a boat, bat, and glove singing Christmas Carols...you just witnessed the ol' Ballcoach being taken out of town.

I hope there is no flooding!

Wow I just found out I am getting deployed in June to Bosnia for 120 days...I am going to miss you guys this summer and early fall. I guess I will be back in October just in time for the holidays!

We will miss you here and I'm sure all will be praying for your safe return!

brings to mind this quote by Martin Luther King, Jr

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."

I love this quote - saw it in several posts on FB yesterday.

Oh Neal !! Please be safe and watch your back !!! Where will Pookie and Snowball be ?? I would take them for you If I could !!!



Christmasstar, THANK YOU !! This is so beautiful and I could not agree more with it xo



Hi Made !! Thanks for asking. My finger is VERY VERY painful. My left index finger at the tip is swollen and has a "hump"now. My doc didn't seem to pay much attention to it so .......I have just been kind of putting up with it.......You are so sweet for asking !! ((HUGS))



While Radio Jon D is still my hero, I have a new one.....SEAWATERS!!!!!!! You go way above and beyond what you need to......I wish you would have been MY teacher....Perhaps I would have learned a bit more ........You are a saint and thank you for being a teacher ((((HUGS))))) for you xo

((((Hugs)))) You are so sweet, CM3 - thank you for all your caring!!! I hope you get your finger seen to by some other doctor!

Oh, yes! You can't go on a turkey hunt with dishelved hair, heaven forbid! And men talk about women and their hair and makeup!

:lol:

Sounds like our spare bedroom. I thought there is no way I can straighten it up but saw improvement after I worked on it. Great feeling!

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

I am suddenly feeling extra "Christmasy"! I watched quite a few Christmas movies and shows the other day, some music today and shopping for Christmas dvds online.

What a great feeling to have the Christmas spirit before summer even gets here! cheesy

 

[ballcoach]

Friends, enjoying my time at the Pines! Carl fixed me a nice warm cup of whatever kinda coffee and it is good! We are watching Dancing with the Stars on DVR. That camel likes to watch em' dance.

Hope everybody had a great day!

Made - I just read your post from this morning about it being cool in Indy which made me wonder, are you doing or going to the marathon this weekend? Four of our neighbors + a girl in my spinning class are doing it. Wew! Sounds really neat though!

I watched the Christmas episode of Everybody Loves Raymond on TBS this afternoon. Ahhhh - love it!

I went for a walk tonight & 2 nieghbor girls were walking behind me & they commented how it felt like a fall night! It was chillly!!! I reminded them the spring trees are blooming. Ha ha. We have a frost advisory out for tonight though...and that's just crazy!!!!

How nice to see your smile this evening! Glad to hear you're having a good evening---including a smooch from Carl. Wish I'd seen it! I didn't know you collected paper dolls, but I could've guessed you're young at heart.
