kathy...did you get your water fixed? how awful. i froze up the pipes one year living up north.

you know how men are...if they can get out their tools and get dirty...they are happy campers. kinda like we are when we can cook them a good meal. doing something the other appreciates.

i can't wait to see the pictures doody.

well..if i was gong to catch this..i'm glad i did it now, when the kids are off school.



oh...on the hollister, amercian eagle...abercrombe..aeropostle stuff....
lil'monkey has a closet full. all bought at goodwill. never paid more than $1.99 for any top...or $3.99 for jeans. takes some searching, but people donate that stuff everyday. if the kids don't mind gentle used..it's the way to go. heck..i always washed new stuff to get out the chemicals anyways. we have found many with tags on.

Curious - so sorry to hear you got it too.

Doody - Yep, I got running water for Christmas - but we had to shut off the supply to the laundry room, and our washer/dryer may be ruined. Our local laundromat closed down recently, so we'll have to travel a distance to wash our clothes. I'm not looking forward to this because I'm not able to help carry the load, and can't afford to lose any more clothes to the dryer thieves. However, I'm very thankful we weren't among those who lost their electricity.

My son leaves first thing tomorrow morning, so I intend to savor this last day with him.

I was passing through and read about your problem Kathy,with my
PN it's hard to turn anything.So when this happened to me are
fire department is right down the street,I camly told them what was
going on and that my friend was out of town and I was disabled..
I also asked if they would be so kind to not to turn on the siren.
Well here they came,they turned on the siren the minute they
got in front of the house..They got out laughing got it turned
off and were great,i cried how nice they were and how lucky I
was..I don't know what I'm doing in a house,oh yes I do you can't
sell them now,well for all the money you put in them no way.
I'm glad you got it fixed and I'm sure your husband understood.
Sorry about having to go so far to wash you clothes..Hugs to all Sue

hehehehe....thank you alffe. choccy monkey chai tea...what a better thing to make a monkey feel better?

Your welcome dear monkey....feel better!

Grrrrrr

In buffalo to see my family

My aunt with cancer not doing well. Was at dinner with her last night and she was breaking down and whole table broke down. I imagine she is in last stages but my family is not good with docs so they dont really know.

Our rental car was vandalized last night and we are waiting for police. Hubby is being a crabby jerk while I do all the work.

Grrrrrrrrrr

i have my aim on if you need me.

Well you're not having a lot of fun are you Shelley. What's the weather doing there?

I went shopping with my mom today and tonight i'm going to my last Christmas Party. It was planned for earlier in Dec, but had to be canceled because of that crazy ice storm we had...

I think the new year is supposed to make us reflect on the past year and after reading BJ's post...The Echo, I wanted to take a minute to say how grateful I am for all of you who, though the grace of God, have been in my life these many years. You comforted me when I cried and held me up when I couldn't stand by myself. You'll never know how much you have helped me.
Your encouragement has kept me going and I am truly grateful.
