I hope everyone has had a pleasant evening. It's only 7:30 p.m. here right now PDT, so most of you are probably in bed. I went out earlier after the winds died down and made a turn onto a straightaway country road. I felt a tug to the right and knew something was wrong. Finally I saw the blinking red light that said my car was in the hot zone! I still had 10 miles to get home, so I turned up the heat as high as I could and that brought the temp down some--at least enough to get home. I was afraid to stop so I ran two stop signs (after I slowed to see that nothing was coming). I had the gas pedal all the way down and the car was SLOW!!! Finally made it home, but I will have to get the car fixed next week because we are going out of town tomorrow! Scary stuff. I probably should not have tried to make it home, but I was on a country road which was not, thank goodness. flooded. But I did not know if it were flooded further up the road. What is weird is that when I parked the car in the driveway and got out, I felt the hood and it was COLD!!! I hope not too many of you will tell me how dumb I was!!!

I won't tell you what you did was wrong becuase I did it the other day. :wink:

this was one of those AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH days. Couldn't shift, couldn't back, wonder why I am here days.
I need a good sleep after I hang out here for awhile.

Part of life, those days, I guess. But don't worry, there is a new day ahead.

Yesterday we had a high of 75 degrees. Today it is 32 degrees with a mixture of sleet and snow coming down. I just love spring in Indiana.

No snow here. A nice 18°C and a lot of sunshine. Real spring weather! I'd better enjoy it, cause next week it will be over.

GOod Morning everyone! it's to early to get up when I have the day off so after I write this I am back to bed,I guess I was not as ready to get up as I thought

it is a comfy 48F and today the high will be the upper 70's instead of the upper 80's like this whole month has seemed to be. March is usually our wettest month with an ave. of 7 inches of rain,but this year we have not cracked an inch,and nothing over a 40 percent chance the next 10 day. I was hoping we were going to emerge from the drought we had last year but it looks like it will be continueing through this year as well,at least so far.
Seawaters- I have done what you did too so don't feel bad,once was when I was in high school before everyone had cell phones and it was a night I did not want to be walking,although I did anyways for quite a long way too,Im glad you made it home!!! that is always very nerve racking when it happens! hope it's nothing too bad to get fixed.
Have a great friday everyone..we are officially in the last week of March! which just reminds me spring break around here is coming up and my gym is hosting spring break camps so I will have to adjust working out times for a week.

Good Morning, Cusp-of-the-weekend Friends.

Yes, we once again stand at Weekend Eve trembling on the brink of another grand and glorious Saturday/Sunday Deluxe combo!

And this weekend will start with the arrival of yet another Milestone, #5 on our chart:
Days to the Season: 233
Days to Christmas Day: 275
TOMORROW, Guys!
The one-quarter mark to Christmas Day 2011!
Zounds!

It's rather overcast here this morning with a strong chance of rain tonight, tomorrow, Sunday and Monday as the nice days are taking a breather.
Supposed to be cold, too.
(Oh, well. The bad days help you to appreciate the good ones more.)

You have a Fantastically Fabulous Friday Folks.
And I hope and trust your Weekend will launch forth Wonderously this afternoon!

Good Friday morning, my Christmas friends!

Wow, it's cool outside this morning after such a warm day yesterday! It was 42° when I left for work this morning. I thought it was strange that I could see my breath while I was walking this morning!

Turkey hunting season starts tomorrow. I've not done a lot of turkey hunting, but Jacob wants to get into it, so I've picked up a few turkey calls and special turkey shotgun shells. It should be interesting!

There's a group of guys who lease a building here in Bellville from my father-in-law. They are starting up one of those TV hunting shows, and they are holding an event in town tomorrow with hunting sponsors and vendors giving away prizes & stuff. It ought to be fun!

I hope you all have a great day! cheesy

Bradmac · Mar 25, 2011

Oh, yeah!

Happy Rudolph Day, too! :rudolph:

:dance:

No, but I will try to find it. Sounds great. By the way, we will git 'er done!!!

Amazon has it for cheap (the link will take you there): Alice in Wonderland

It's weird and wonderful ... Alice is played by the girl who plays Little Bo-Peep in "Babes in Toyland" (a.k.a. "March of the Wooden Soldiers").

FINALLY !! The new job is starting to go a bit easier and I am AT LAST making the lines I am supposed to !! I pushed myself really, really hard to be at the point I am supposed to be even though I have until May technically. That is me, I guess. I don't see how taking it easy so to speak and putting of what needs to be eventually accomplishes anything anyway so I pushed and with the grace of God, I am making the line production I am supposed to.

He occasionally meanders in and makes me take a purr break, i.e., he gets on my lap and says "pet me, NOW" So I do. I find for some reason that those purr breaks help me reach my lines easier !!

So glad to hear you're literally getting up to speed. A "purr break"---love it! I wish I could get purr breaks in our office ...

"Pet me, NOW!"

Happy March Rudolph Day, everyone!

Good morning everyone... last night I started putting up my Easter Decorations, not that I have mych anyway.... I do want to pick up some more though. Also bought another Christmas present yesterday.... going to order a couple more gifts this weekend too.

Going to spend the weekend cleaning, decluttering and reorganizing my laundry room. It really needs it big time.

Well I hope everyone has a great Friday!!!!

Morning all!
This one is for Binger! Im playing Darlene Love & Brian Setzer Orchestra Sleigh Ride! I have today off but I have some work I need to do. We are leaving to go to Windsor after Ash is done work. I'm listening to Christmas music and lit my candy cane candle! Everyone is out of the house right now so I have time to myself. Well. Going to go now. Have a great day everyone and weekend!

Good morning, Christmas family.

Finished my shift this morning and really should be sleeping but since I am off tonight it is all good.

I just heard something that REALLY upset me. The Berlin Zoo where Knut the polar bear lived is thinking of HAVING HIM STUFFED !!!

OMG !!! I can't tell you how upset and angry I am

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !!!!!!!!!!

I say let the poor guy rest in piece. He's been on display long enough. What a bunch of morons.

Rant over.

Try to have a good day Christmas family and sorry xo

MerryBells · Mar 25, 2011

I agree with you on that one, Caninemom. Can you imagine taking your kids to the zoo and trying to explain something like that? I think I'd give up and go home.
