I just got back. It was unbelieveable. I've never seen turnout like this. It was great to see, even though I did wait for well over an hour. I feel sorry for DH who has to go after work. If the lines are crazy now I can't imagine what they'll be like later.

Good Morning Sally - I too check in first thing every morning, usually with a Diet Coke. After a while DH and I have breakfast and then I check in again. I also can not count how often I come back throughout the day. I share with DH everything that is going on here and he knows several forum members by name. We went to bed last night with the windows open and now we are freezing in our house. Both of us are wrapped in blankets. IÂm planning on pressing blocks this morning so I can warm up. Have a wonderful day!! Nina in the California Mountains

67 here, 20% chance of rain. Yes, we had hard rain last night too and I wasn't sure I'd be able to mow this afternoon but I did. Grass wasn't too bad, I've been keeping it cut short so it had dried out fairly well. Suddenly the spinach and lettuce in the garden have all sprouted at once it seems. Because I planted late I thought for sure it would take longer but just that bit of sun the last couple of days helped alot. Will be leaving in a few minutes for downtown to shop for a few groceries. Cats were sure glad it's payday today, they were out of dry food as of yesterday. Both were waiting on the porch when I got home with it. The pet health store where I shop gave me a free bag of kitty litter because of some promotion. My older cat of 14yr., who's never used a litter box in his life (outside/inside guy), has developed incontinent issues during nights he's in the house; so we're working on using the box. pattie43 you're busy today! Ugh, did that not too long ago and glad it's over. I need to schedule a bone density test one of these days too.

Her problem is she doesn't listen to things she doesn't agree with, closes her mind to any different than she believes. When she called me and took responsibility for the problems she finally understood she created the break in the family but doesn't understand why we can't accept her the way she is. She doesn't remember saying and doing the things she did. She is also a health nut and we have had to live with "I could fix your health problems, but no one wants to hear it." At one time she was taking 72 pills a day to detox herself. I personally think they have affected her behavior. I think she is drugged out of her mind just like a street user.
