good morning everyone, me thinks Sandy and Jims relative Steve makes good margaritas, doubles the tequila:yahoo:

hope everyone is doing well I already was out and of course I am a giant dork so I can go out in a little and get everything i needed this time:Bang-Head:

Kelly - Wow! That sounds good. However, I think I will skip the ToKillYa. LOL ToKillYa and I aren't friends; never have been. :p

Sitting here having my coffee waiting for the rest of my work to come in.

Hope everyone has a good day today!:grouphug:

Good Morning!!:)

I'm so happy to be back and feeling better! I've been sick since the middle of November! I had a respiratory infection that eventually advanced to pneumonia and I ended up spending a few days in the hospital. Still have a nasty sounding cough and fatigue, but feeling much better than I have in weeks.

I've really missed you all. We live just outside the city and dsl is still not available. We've been on dial-up for almost two years and when I feel bad or am sick, I just can't sit at the computer desk for any length of time. So since this episode, we've started shopping around for an internet service in which I can use my laptop.

We're checking into Alltel since they're already our cellphone provider, We're hoping to have it all taken care of before February. I'm really anxious to use my laptop again. I won't feel so isolated when I'm sick or tired.

Sandy, I hope you're feeling better today.:hug:

My pillow is calling. I need to lay down for a while. Hope everyone is having a good day! I'll check back later this afternoon.:grouphug:

Hi Tara! Glad to see you post. I am glad you are feeling better and on the mend. :hug:

Hello Tara sorry to hear about being ill, I get that once to twice a year it sucketh mucheth, glad you are on the rebound, plenty of rest, is unfortunately the best med right now, hope you had a nice Christmas and in case its a few days for you logging on, Happy New year, take care of yourself

Morning all. I am feeling better today but still going to lurk for a bit. The alien has left the building for now. lol

Hi-Ya, Tara!!! woo hoo!! :yahoo: nice ta-C-ya!!

hey Kelly - seeing that cranberry juice is good for a morning refreshment - can we substitute with a slushy??

Hey - Tricia ... just want you to know that now there's MORE for me!! (wah - I could tell you some stories of old ... it's my fave - has no effect on me!! ... must be that I'm already loopy, and the teKilla calms me down!) LOL

Tara, glad you're feeling better. :hug:

Sandy, glad to hear Jim is doing ok thus far. :hug: Hope you feel better soon.

Sarah, sorry to hear about your dad. :hug:

Hi all. Just a quick check-in. Been napping a lot the past couple of days, guess the bod is trying to catch up on sleep. :D

Can't believe the year is almost over. But am thankful to have had you guys be here to help make things a bit easier to handle. You all are great!!!!!!!! :grouphug::grouphug:

Great to see you Vonn!!! I was sick when your postcard came in the mail. Darren brought in the mail that day and I remember hearing him say "Evangel College"??? and going on about how nostalgic the picture was and asking who sent it to me......and reminding me that it's now Evangel University. I reminded him that you attended Evangel College during the same four years that he and I attended Central Highschool. I believe that postcard might actually qualify as an antique!! :eek: I love it!!!

How long has it been since you've seen the campus? I drive by it now and I'm amazed at how much it's grown over the years. Same with MSU and Drury.

Thanks for sending it to me! It brings back a lot of memories!:)

hmmmmmm.... did it exit by bursting out of your chest?

:p;):p

*************************

I've been careful what I eat since the spicy Chimole didn't set too well.

here's what I had for breakfast:

http://www.papayatreenursery.com/gal...serialNumber=4

it's called a Cherimoya, and the one I polished off was a little smaller than a football.

there's no dishes to wash, the peel forms its own bowl, just grab a spoon, and scoop.....

Imagine the flavor combination of white nectarine, mango, banana, with a hint of pineapple to boot!

http://www.papayatreenursery.com/gal...g2_itemId=2021

this was my very first Cherimoya, a gift from our neighbors...

I drool just seeing the picture...I love papaya, especially dried and it is just tooo hard to find in these here parts.lol

oh, honey !!

pneumonia is awful... so glad to hear you are getting better now.

take it really easy on yourself, so you don't drag out the illness.

:hug:

Hey all, still hanging in there. The tummy is better but gets to hurting if someone gets me agitated. Hmmm, I may be onto something here. If I say my tummy hurts because I am getting upset the house is quiet. teehee Shhhhhh...

Did somebody mention tequila? :p Anyway, Sandy, DM and Blues Girl, you all get better soon... :hug::hug::hug:Anybody else under the weather too... :hug:

Working on end of year at the office, I wish tomorrow was already here so I'd be able to get more done! :eek:

KELLY KELLY ... I was going to make a 1/2 batch ... (only a 2 quart container) ... then I figured I could make it ... well, everything except ONE can of pop ...

but it's freezing now ... then I thought - hmmm, popsicles???

Hey DM sorry you have had such a rotten time lately, but know that I am thinking about you and prayin for ya sister.....maybe I'll share one of my cabana boys with you!


Tara WB!!!!! I was just thinkin me u and Sandy need to have another 3-way phone chat again, we could all use the laughter!!!

Glad you feel somewhat more human today San!

Wow! What a day! I got all the reports typed and sent off. Phew! Now I need to get ready for a quick trip with DBF and my sister is coming to stay with us over the weekend. I may not be on for a few days so don't send the search party out. LOL

I hope you all have a Happy New Year!!!:hug::hug::grouphug:

I slept in until 6:15! Whoa! I'll be off kilter the whole day.

This is Lame Joke Day! This is the day I always said to my customers, "See you next year!" I look at Bob with a fake mean expression, and say things like "This is the last time I'm going to make you breakfast this year! You can make your own breakfast for the rest of the year!"

We're expecting wind chill tonight down to -35. Guess we'll stay home. Oh wait, we were going to do that anyway.

Morning all! Coffee brewing in the background. There's a lot of wind and some dusting of snow on the ground.

Ten to one, we're gonna stay in and celebrate at home. Hubby got a bottle of champange from a client of his as a "thank you" gift before the holidays.

I need to remember to brown sugar the sauerkraut overnight for our traditional pork dish for New Year's Day. Takes some of the kick out of it.

Okay, need to get some coffee. Feel like I'm rambling. :o

Hope every one has a happy and safe New Year's!! :grouphug:

Haven't you ever watched Forest Gump? :D

well mama says...... once i did part of it a second time. sad ending on that one

:Funny-Post: thanks for the funny!!lololol

Not according to Forest Gump. "Me and Jenny goes together like peas and carrots". That is one of my all time favorite movie quotes. Along with one from "Steel Magnolias" the one where Ouiser says to Claireee "You know I love you more than my luggage".

see i debating writing that large post cause i knew i would forget someone,

Holly may you also have a wonderful new year and a safe one:hug:

Momma you also have a wonderful new year, thank you for all your insightfullness, you have a way with words,

Those are my two all-time favorite movies. I've probably watched them both fifty times. I can even quote the lines right along with the actors as they're saying them! I just love Forest and Jennay! And, even though I've watched them over and over and know what the endings are.....I still cry! I'm such a girl!! :p
