Dill pickles in a jar, but I bet the other would work, too! I just poured some of the juice in a glass and drank that.

Sorry, I had to babysit from 8 to 5 and then I hopped on the lear to meet Seawaters out in Scottsdale at the Car auction. Unforuantely, the 2 million she loaned me wasn't enough. We didn't meet the reserve on Clark Gable's Mercedes and the Batmobile went for 4.2 million. The guy who bought the Batmobile said he is going to tear out the wall of his house so he can park it in his living room.

Bummer! But if you accomplished something, then good for you!

Well, sad to say nowhere. I got about an hour away and started to realize all the work that needed to be done and i turned around.

I would have this song playing while I was sitting in my living room with the Batmobile.

Good Morning my Christmas Friends! We will be having another warm day today. We have onions plants in at work and I know the gardeners will be coming in buying them up. We start really picking up in business mid to late February and it will not let up until mid June. This is getting into our busy time of year.

I have been at my job for 10 straight years and we specialize in gardening but I have YET successfully managed to grow a garden!!! I can grow weeds successfully! At least I have a green thumb at something! cheesy I just depend on others at work and customers to bring in their overstock of veggies they grow. I will get a veggie garden started and have my grandchildren help me, they have fun doing so but somehow it just doesn't hold up! Maybe this year??? We will see!

I've only been able to keep one houseplant alive, and that's my Christmas cactus, which thrives beautifully. In spite of the fact that both of my grandfathers were farmers, I can't grow a thing!

Wow, there is nothing on TV if you don't want to watch football.

That's why they invented DVD players!

Would they keep the shop open with all that snow?

Christmasstar said:
trying to find someone who lives in Tavistock to go in to work my shift, roads have gotten really bad and snow continues to fall. I do not want to end up stranded there! (or in the ditch between here and there)

Great advice from your dad, Star!

Christmasstar said:
whenever we talked about ourselves in a negative manner my dad would ask..
"how many friends would you have if you said to them what you say to yourself? If you can treat them with kindness and respect you should do so for yourself too!"

Of Course !! It's ALWAYS time for a Christmas movie !!!

Good consolation prize!!!

Christmas Knight said:
Well... Officially took the outside Christmas decorations down today, boooo. I hated to do it, but the sun was out and the temp was near 50 today, so I figured I'd take advantage of it before the snow moves in this week. Think I'll console myself with one of the Christmas beers that I have stashed for a special occasion.

Darn it!!!

There are about 80 houses in our neighborhood.
About 12-15 still have their Christmas decorations up!

Seawaters · Jan 20, 2013

Wow, that's great! On the streets I travel most of the time, we have two houses still lit up. I should probably try alternate routes and see if there are others.
