I have no idea why people do that, we had some one loot our home after a major fire when my kids were still little (no one home at the time, just lots of damage, it was 6 months before it was rebuild and we could move back again)
They took jewelry, antiques and a few other items.

I know this opportunism has gone on throughout history but I don't understand what part of our brain let's us do it. Would they feel violated if someone did it to them? Would they just shrug as if it's normal?

I just watched my husband hop in his van and drive away without heating it up. I can't do it, I have to let the car run for a few minutes. I feel spoiled with my new car, heated seats and a heated steering wheel. I am getting a lot of use out of that this winter.
You are going to be super busy next week, I hope all goes well. Have a great day xmastidings!

I was told there is now a car that has cooled seats for summer. I need that one in this heat wave.

What are your super bowl plans?

Nothing for me... not really a sports person! I'll be going over to my grandmother's house like I usually do every other Sunday.

Oh Yea, here's a picture of my Glock model 23 (40). What a difference between the two..

But it does shoot real nice.

Mine's a Glock 19 (9mm). It does shot well, though.

We have this in our truck! I never thought I would use it, but I have to admit, it's quite nice!

Hope you are all having a great day! I've been trying to catch up, but I'm losing the battle!

Tonight we are having stitch 'n *itch at our house, so the girls are coming over! Jim will have to find something to do!! :lol: I'm hoping to get a lot done on the blanket for Charlie (my nieces new puppy)! I'm about 1/2 done & I would like to finish before Sunday! EEK!

Superbowl plans - we are going to the Legion in our town to watch. I'm making a Creamy Avocado Dip & these: (using the brown sugar instead of parmesan.) My sister made these & they were yummy!!! They are definately something I would have to make to bring somewhere b/c they would be trouble in my house!!!!!! :smile:

Well as we get even farther away from the fall and Christmas season, I saw one remaining item on the clearance shelf at Target to remind us of autumn..,.

Not sure if they'd be good or not. Have any of you ever tried them?

I'd try just about anything. We don't have these unique flavours.

Good morning, Christmas friends~

It is snowing here right now, we were supposed to get 1-2 inches starting last night, but before I went to bed they changed it to 7-8 inches. We currently have less than an inch on the ground, we will see what happens I guess!! LOL. Hmmm...

What are your super bowl plans?

Time to make some coffee!!

Hope you have a blessed & beautiful day!!

We don't follw here but we enjoy the ads.

Humidity:*15-28%*.

They also had Sugar Cookie flavor this year. Not bad, but only kinda like a sugar cookie.

Oh, man. Good luck! I was hoping you'd be able to catch up on sleep, buddy. Hope your niece feels better, and that you both have a great day!
Naps for two, lol!

Thanks, Buddy!!! Hopefully I can catch up tomorrow. I tried to get her to lay down for a nap but she wasn't having that at all.

My niece was doing pretty good. She's got a cold but I made her take the cold meds and she was hardly buy the time she left.

Hope you are having a good day buddy and staying safe in all of that snow. That is crazy that they were off by that much.

No big super bowl plans for me. I'll probably just sit here with some snacks and trash talk with my sister's family on facebook.

MerryCarey · Jan 30, 2014

I'm in better shape today, except I got a headache about an hour ago. I think I have it under control, though. I emailed my supervisor that I'll be back to work tomorrow. Watching "The Sting" this afternoon.

I took some extra hours, and am working part of the day. But I should still be home for most of the game. We are making a bunch of snacks & appetizers, too. Our neighbors invited us over for a party, so we may go for a bit, depending how I feel when I get home. Either way, it'll be fun! A good excuse to indulge

Hope you aren't to wore out when you get home and can go over to your neighbors party for awhile!!!

I missed the Pines last night? Anything too crazy?

Hope y'all have a good Thursday.

I don't remember anything after drinking my Mai Tai. So I'm going to guess yes. LOL!!!

Hope you are having a good day, Ryan!!!

Merry Afternoon all, how is your day so far? I just go back from picking my eldest up from school and now it's time to prepare dinner. I am undecided what to make today though!

It is freezing today, the temps have really dropped. I honestly don't know how you all are able to cope in the freezing temps most of you are having!!!
I am still a bit unwell but thankfully it is not getting any worse so I'm content with that.

Tomorrow is Friday as well as the last day of January! Goodness how time flies!!

xxx

Hope you thought of something good to make for dinner and get feeling better soon!!

Good Thursday afternoon, my Christmas friends!

Wow, it's so busy here at work, I barely have time to check in here. I don't like to complain about too much work, though. :wink:

It's still below freezing here, but it's supposed to 80° by Sunday.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Hope you are having a great day too, Brad!!! Can you send just a tiny bit of that warm air up here?
