Thanks, HmG!

Yes, pile ups all over the state. And 10 semi's on I-94 crashed/Jack knifed. They had to close westbound right near us

That's what happens when they don't send out the plows. So sad.

I didn't sleep well last night because they come @ 9:30, and were in our area half the night. Snowblowers, shovels, etc.

Glad they finally came, but ridiculous that they keep people up half the night. Backing up, beeping, etc.

That sounds frustrating. I hope tonight is better for you!

Yup, you sure are right about that one.... It seems like every time I turn around, there's ice, snow, sleet, freezing rain and oh get this one, this morning, it was freezing fog...I kid you not! It was foggy, and the temperature of the roads where I live were just at that point where it made black ice. The salt trucks were already out and about at 5:00am and thankfully, they already hit the back roads where I live. My driveway was a sheet of ice though.

I got the appraisal for the accident yesterday; 3,000.00 dollars!!!! ouch. There's not much I can do about it either, the truck has to get fixed, I'm in the process of trying to get them to go with after market parts in lieu of Ford parts, in order to try to reduce the costs somewhat...We'll see what happens!

We are having the same weather. Roads were being closed here this morning due to the dense fog and black ice.
Sorry about the truck, I hope the cost can be reduced!

Bless her heart, I'm sure she's frightened. Sending a prayer for her now.QUOTE]

That is scary! I will be praying!QUOTE]





THANK YOU very much! I really appreciate it.

Another house got all their glass windows and doors broken to. It seems like it is a group of idle people going around to good neighbourhoods to cause trouble. My brother had all the glass replaced and will be having some security cameras installed. She is really shaken up still but she is ok. Thank you again.

Such a shame this is happening to people, but so great she has you guys. I'll continue to pray for your mom.

Good Morning, Friends of the Holidays!


Well, believe it or not, the day after tomorrow will see us to our first Milestone of 2014, the 300-day Season window, to be succeeded immediately by the start of a 200's level count sequence.
(Can the 100's really be that far behind?)

Days to the Season: 302
Days to Christmas Day: 344

It was continued cool yesterday but really not bad for January. Dry too after a rainy morning.
Today should be nice.
We stand just under 36 degrees here at this hour.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Fellow Travelers on the good ship MMC!

And you may wish to stop in at the 'Pines this evening. Carl has a fund raiser under way but suspiciously, he hasn't said what funds are being raised for.
Anyway it's being called "I'd walk a mile with a camel".
(Well, I don't know about you but my curiosity has been raised, even though it may just be a scam to raise money for one of Carl's coffee experiments.)

Thanks Crown. Happy Pines Day!

work time again, have a great day, see you at the Pines tonight!

Have a great day Christmasstar!

Merry Morning!

Sugar - I hope your DS is feeling better.

Xmas - How is LC feeling this morning? My son also loves Reel Steel. Your ebay Santa is wonderful! I am also looking forward to the sequel to Rise of the Apes. I hope James Franco is in it!

HMG - Your pups look cute in their new bows. I hope Maggie's xray goes well, let us know.

Snowflake - I was blown away by the photo of your heavy snowfall .WOW!

Xmastidings- I hope you are doing ok after your accident. You don't seem to be having much luck on the roads these days. Stay safe.

CAH - I am also a neat freak. I need all the cupboards and cabinets to be organised and tidy. it just makes life easier that way!

Virginia - The assessment went well, thank you. He has been referred to a speech therapist. How old is your first?

I hope you all had a better night than me. I could not sleep. I kept worrying about my mum and brother. I am fearful that it will happen again and paranoid they try to break in next time. I hope it was just random juvenile delinquents and an isolated incident. I have been so homesick and constantly miss my family. This just makes it harder. Thanks again for being there, I sure do appreciate having you all to talk to.

Thanks for the well wishes regarding Isaac's appointment. It went well but he has been referred to a speech therapist. I am not worried though, I think it is only a matter of time he starts talking. I will be working with him at home until we see the therapist as the referral can take awhile.

I have a few errands to do today but I don't feel like it so I will leave it for tomorrow I think.

Have a great day today everyone.

Thanks for thinking of DS. He had a fever over night, but is okay this morning. I truly think it must be a viral infection.

As for you, know I am praying for you. We're all here if you need anything. It must have been so scary for your mom.

Your son with be just fine. My niece had to see a speech therapist and she is doing very well now. She is 4 and speaks very well for her age.

Good afternoon everyone!

It's been ages since I my last visit. My computer at home (I mean in Lithuania) operates incredibly slowly (it needs to be fixed) and it takes me ages to use Internet or post in forums and, well, I am not patient that much to wait for half an hour to get my browser opened and my post posted. ^^ Anyway, I am now back in Scotland and back to my laptop. ^^

Home was nice. I managed to see some of my friends, my cousins and spend some time with family. :] I have started new semester at the uni today so I am back on track!

I hope that everyone is well and doing fine. I hope that this year will be much better and more successful than previous year for everyone of you.

Best wishes!

Welcome back :hi:

Good am .... Have a Love kinda day ... Yabba.

Good morning, Binger! Hope you have a great day as well!

 

[sugar142286]

Ouch! I thought to myself as I was reaching over the boiling kettle that it wasn't a sensible thing to do. I've scalded my wrist... it's gonna be a lovely blister!!

Oh I hope it heals quickly and that you're okay!

 

[sugar142286]

Good Morning, MMC~

Happy Pines Day!

Hope you have a beautiful & blessed day!

See you there tonight!

Good morning, Snowflake! Hope you have a great day!

Christmasstar, that is great to have a future chef in the family!!! The college that my daughter teaches at has a Culinary school there. The teachers and their family get to go and be part of grading their cooking by eating the food they make. I got to go with her one time and get a free gourmet meal and we grade it. It's yummy and fun!

Good luck to your son! I know he will do well!

Snowflake, very nice of Adrian to help out those who are stuck!

Homemakingirl, I love the pictures!





At least you have a beautiful family to look at when the tree is gone!

Yes, his parents raised him well!! Thank you!

I want to go too! I am the frugal queen and will bring along my ruler to slap hands when you touch things that cost too much!


.

LOL!! Of course you're invited!! Will be fun

That sounds frustrating. I hope tonight is better for you!

Thanks, HmG~

Stay safe out there!!

Thanks Festive. Running cold water was the first thing I did. It still hurts and the skin is angry red and raised. I can't find the burn cream but I think there's some aloe somewhere. I'll try that.

That will help too!

 

[snowflake22]

Good morning, Snowflake! Hope you have a great day!

Thanks, sugar!

To you as well!!

Glad DS is doing much better~

:thumbsup:

 

[HomemakinGirl]

You know what we need to drive in, especially with all the freezing weather that we have been having, these kind of tires....

Oh baby, it's like Mad Max gone Polar Express.....:lol:

cheesy

 

[sugar142286]

I hope you have a beautiful day too!

I saw a story on the news this morning about a weather related multi vehicle pile up in Wisconsin. Sending prayers to you for safe travels, be careful out there!

So scary! Praying for safety for everyone in this bad weather.
