[ballcoach]

A few more campaign promises from Mayor Bradmac:

1). I will not visit MMC on a daily basis
2). I will not keep Christmas in my heart year round.
3). I will not put my Christmas tree up in 2012

:wink:

whoa....whoa.....whooooooaaaaaaaaa.....why such vile talk?

Awful day today. I went to class and felt as sick as could be and had to leave before my teacher even showed up. Got some bad news when I got home. The doctors think that my mom either has bladder cancer or diabetes, neither which are good. It is always one thing after the other with health in my family. I really can't take it anymore.

Hi everyone. Thanks for all of the thoughts and prayers! Tonight actually turned out to be a good night, despite the whole morning. I started to feel better this afternoon and I hung out with my mom most of the day and watched soaps.

Hope everyone is having a nice night!

I lit a Christmas tree scented candle....these things get me through the winter, you know!!!

Just wanted you to know I was thinking of you....I will think of you and pray for you.

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

I had my first council meeting last night as mayor. It went pretty good, but it was hectic. The new clerk was there, and the old clerk was there showing her the ropes. The previous mayor came and sat in the audience chairs. I felt a little like I was in his seat! I think it'll be fine, I just gotta get used to the chair at the head of the table. And I promise this is the last time I bring up being mayor...LOL!

It's still beautiful weather here. Right now it's sunny and 60°, and it's supposed to get up the the mid-70's. Wow!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Our weather is so mild too 46 today and tomorrow 51 I am not upset, I like being able to go out in just a jacket.

You know it kinda reminds me of like when you were young and saw your teacher around town, that was always weird for me.

Thanks Laurie, they were good and it's good knowing we'll always be there for each other. We jus celebrated our one year anniversary(dating) and I'm thinking a proposal will come this summer

Yay, you will have to keep us updated, I love weddings

A few more campaign promises from Mayor Bradmac:

You are SOOOO bad, tee hee LOL

Good Morning, friends~

Tuesday is here, but it feels like a Monday!!

Harlowe had a good day on Sunday, but had another tough one yesterday. She's not eating again, and struggling with taking her meds. Hope today will be better. Although, we got good news from her vet office that her labs came back normal. Thank God for that!

Work is kind of stressful right now. It's one of those days I wished I could've stayed in bed =) Ahhh!!

Thinking of you all, and sending hugs. Take care.

We are thinking about your sweet little Harlowe, I am so glad you received good news from her labs.

Good afternoon,

Well, it's all gone, the trees, lights, garland, all gone. I spent 3+ hours taking down my 3 outdoor trees, 3 indoor trees, 100's of feet of lights and garland and the knick-knacky Christmas decorations all around the house. This place looks so naked now, especially since most of the stuff was up for nearly 2 full months. I usually leave my 7.5 foot tree up until the end of the month, but I was on such a roll a got it all done. I have a few Santa's and snowmen hanging around, can't put everything away just yet. I am so tired now walking up and down the ladder, and walking up and down the stairs dozens of times. At least I have the Bruins game on tonight, I did watch Christmas Vacation while De-Christmasing.
2 more hours until I pick up the boys, I want to run to Rite Aid to see if the Christmas stuff is down to 75% off yet, I have my eye on a Christmas Carol cuckoo clock but I won't pay too much for it. It has carolers come out and sing every hour instead of a cuckoo.

Have a great day!

I love the sound of that clock!!!

Wow you really worked, I thought today was your day off??? I keep a few things out myself and by April I usually have them all away.

hi and good afternoon/eveng to you all
Juat after the old dinner steak and coleslaw
2 pallets in and two thirds sorted the rest will do to tomorrow
Was kinda side tracked as my next door neighbour who is 85 and i wood call in a few times day and if she needs anything .i get it to her as she does not go out the door
Well she now has sciatica and she can hardly walk and seem to be in terrable pain
As well her only daughter is in hospital dying of cancer think they have give her about a week at the most.
My neighbour is in a tara state she said to me today she want to go see her but she knows she could never sit in a car that long as the hospital is 25 mile away
So today she has rung for me to come about 10 times . she does have a son but he does not give a damm. she helped rear another family and they are quiet good to her but do not be down often enough
I no if anything happens the daughter , it will kill her
So how has your day been so far its 7 pm here so am gonna just chill out
Hope to catch you all later take care

Shellie what a great neighbor looking in on her. That is some heavy news about her daughter, something tels me you' would be like that with all the people you hold dear.

I finally have water!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY, now go take your shower, it's getting a little stinky. J/K What a pain, we had the electric company working on some upgrades here in late summer, no electric funny how those things really effect your day to day doings.

My window candles are on, I repeat my window candles are on! I am feeling so down without my trees, the big empty spot on the wall where the tree was is just so sad looking. November can't get here fast enough. I now have to figure out what is for dinner. Hmmmm.

It does look sad, like it is crying over lossing their charm.

this is the one for this month, I had to make 18 of these...

No, that isn't actually close to me at all. I am in the Central part of Pa and Lehigh bordors Jersey, so that would be about 4 hours away from me. Thanks for thinking of me, though!

I am ready to call it a night, too. I have to get up early for my appointment. The doctor is 1.5 hours away, plus we want to stop for breakfast at IHOP. Hubby had to go to the city council meeting to meet with hizzoner, the mayor to present a $2,000 check from the Elks Lodge for the city swimming pool. Hopefully, we can keep it open next year so the kids of our town have a place for the summer. Talk to y'all tomorrow. Hopefully, I will know something!!!

Good Morning MMC!

 

[gabulldawg]

Good morning everyone! Work is slow today..it's 67F humid and rainy today we need the rain though so I will not complain! I slept really good last night and everyone did including the baby. We average getting up about 2 times which is not bad at all I don't think. I still have not taken down the xmas tree but I have taken down all my indoor lights and decor besides the tree. I will take down the tree maybe today though. There are still alot of homes in my neighbourhood that have thier indoor/outdoor decor and lights on too. I hope everyone has a good hump day!!

 

[snowflake22]

Good Morning, friends~

Happy Pines Day!!!

I just had to laugh at myself after reading about the Christmas clock xmas is thinking about buying...I just realized that I forgot to put away my Thomas Kinkade Christmas carol clock!! It has been going off every hour on the hour for the past two weeks, and it didn't even cross my mind Maybe that's because I love it so much and it's not normal for it to be put away! lol

My poor little Harlowe is still not eating, hubby managed to get her to take a few bites of roast beef, but that's it. Going to call vet today.

Anyways, just a quick hello this morning before getting ready for work.

**Thinking of you, C~ Hope your appointment goes well, know that we are all praying for you & keeping you in our hearts! xo**

See you all later at the pines, I'll be ready for a cold one!

Good Morning, Mid-Week, Shispering Pines Anticipating Friends of Anything and Everything Christmas!

Rise, shine and smell the fired twinkies.
Yes, Carl says today's batch turned out exceptionally well and should not be missed.
Sooooo.....I'm sure we will see each and every one of you there, right?

It's a bit coolish here in the capital city at this hour but not cold.
We had a day's respite from rain yesterday but the wet stuff is supposed to return today with colder weather in store for the end of the week.
Seasonal.

OK -- here we go again:
Days to the Season: 307
Days to Christmas Day: 349
Hey! Hey! Hey!
One week from today!
(The 300-day Season Milestone, that is.)

See you at the 'Pines!
