Wowzers, I only have 107 posts to catch up on since I posted this morning... In the meantime, congratz to #3000! Go Caninemom3! I particularly enjoyed the last few threads before 3000 - it was like she was sneaking up on it, like a cheshire cat, then pounce! Too cute! ...I wish I had been here for my first Rudolph Day! I surely would have appreciated organizing notebooks. It's past midnight and I'm working on a migraine - goodnite friends!

I hope that migraine disappears quickly.

Good Morning everyone! its already hump day and we are in the last week of January. Something is wrong with my computer and its moving at the speed of a snail. kind of like 1996 dial up speed slow,like when you would type a paragraph and your done by the time anything pops up on the screen.I'm not good with fixing and diagnosing problems,about all I know to do is unplug the router and modem then plug it back in.
anyhow hope everyone has a good morning!

I hope your computer issues are solved quickly, you might miss a lot of posts on the countdown if you are away to long. cheesy

Good morning!!!!! An unexpected snow day today! First they said mostly rain, and then on the 5:00 news last night, they said 6-10 inches!!! We have a few inches already!

I hope it slows a bit because we suddenly have no hot water and I hope the repairman can make it... I about passed out from cold in the shower, haha!

I hope your hot water is fixed quickly, almost nothing worse than an ice cold shower.

Happy hump day everyone!!! Hope everyone has a good day. All those getting snow in the east again, stay safe. I am still waiting for confirmation at work about going on first shift. I have no idea why it is taking so long, this is very frustrating.

I wish companies wouldn't take so long announcing things, it is very frustrating when they lead people on for so long.

Good morning friends! I was finally able to get a new laptop (which I love) so I will be able to spend more time enjoying the site without those annoying crashes. Hope everyone is having a great week.

Congrats on the new laptop!

Good morning,

Bracing for yet another snowstorm. LC has had a bad morning, first he dropped one of his favorite toys and its leg broke, then he got hit in the face accidentally with a toy by his brother, and then he cut his foot on another toy while fooling around. He is over it all now and just coloring. I will be on my way to work in a few hours.

Have a great day!

Good Morning Mid-Week-'Pines-Bound Friends.

Hey! Straight to the count this morning without delay:
Days to the Season: 291
Days to Christmas Day: 333
Now under 2 1/2 weeks off from the one quarter Season Milestone!

Incredibly, we started this morning ABOVE the 30's and currently stand at 44 degrees under oppressive, leaden skies.
The weather service says 100% chance of rain this morning. Shouldn't that mean it's raining? None falling here.

OK. I'm happy to report (for some, not me) that Carl has recovered his composure after his feeling of being snubbed in the last opera chapter and has resumed his coffee experiments which will be available for all bold taste testers at the Shispering Pines today. He muttered something about guavas as he passed by. << Shudder! >>
Anyway, be you in a sampling mood or not, Holiday and I hope to see each and every one of you at the 'Pines.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Everybody!

Cool, clammy, wet day outside and I am only going on 4-5 hours sleep thanks to our one year old waking up many times during the night with a stuffed up nose. Ugh. At least I am leaving the office in a few minutes to make deliveries thus I can swing by the Krispy Kreme for a warm treat and coffee.

Hope you feel better soon!

If you want some Krispy Kreme, come by my office. Our school sold them for a fundraiser, and I just picked up my 18 boxes! TOO MUCH SUGAR!!!!

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's about 55° here...that's pretty warm for so early in the morning. It rained all day yesterday, and it's now overcast and WINDYYYY. They says it's back into the 20's tonight, though.

I need to get some work done on my side business today, but this wind might shut me down for the day. We'll see.

I hope you all have a great day! cheesy

Rain turning to snow here but they're only calling for 4 inches or so. Hopefully we will still be able to drive up to our home.cheesy

I am sure I will be driving home during the nastiness tomorrow night.

I wish you safety from the idiot drivers on the road tonight! With luck, I'll be on my way home before the worst of it.

Found a great tv station today. It was a great find for me. They show a lot of old moviesin black and white with the old Hollywood actors and actresses. You know them, the ones with talent. Anyhow, I dont get TCM, and AMC is a joke as far as classic movies go, so Iwas very happy about this.

Shiny Brite! You got the caps and spacing fixed in your name! I'm glad it's the way you want it now.

What's the TV station you found? Is it local only? Love those vintage films!

We all are anxiously awaiting the news right along with you!

Just got back from the gas station and went inside to pay and noticed they still had coca-cola 2010 Holiday edition on the shelves I dont even drink coke but decided to get them anyways!

MerryBells · Jan 26, 2011

Went outside this morning to a big surprise; snow! It was supposed to rain today, and the snow wasn't supposed to start until tonight. That's okay; I'll take snow whenever I can get it!

Good Wednesday morning everyone! I'm feeling better today. The last few days I have had a chest infection but I'm better now. I bought two games for my ipod touch last night. Duke Nukem 3d and Doom. Duke has TERRIBLE controls. I'm hoping they update it. Doom on the other hand has AWESOME controls and is a perfect port. If you liked Doom on the PC, get it for the ipod touch/phone. We have some snow on the way tonight, tomorrow and friday and saturday. Should be interesting on how much we get. William can now count to 3 and he isnt even 2 years old yet! Well back to work I go. Hope everyone has a good day and Ill be watching you!!
