I cannot wait! I so hate waking up in complete darkness. I don't like it being dark at 5 or 6pm but can deal with that much better than the darkness in the morning.

We have been having temps down in the 30's and frost for the last few days. Now the temps are going back up to the mid 50's and low 60's for the next few days with a possibility of rain in the forecast. In fact, there is a 70% chance of rain for tomorrow. It has been so dry here that I am looking forward to some wet weather. I heard the local weatherman say tonight that we have had 3/100 inch of rain for October. Even with the dry weather my fall veggies are coming along. I pick some kale this afternoon and made kale soup for dinner tonight. Never made it before but it was pretty good. The chicks are growing. I thought maybe I could get them outside pretty soon but looks like "Me and the Chickens" will be together for at least another three to four weeks. We have rats in the storage building so I am afraid to put the chicks out there. Don't want the rats to get them but I tell you....keeping their box cleaned is almost a full-time job. I have to keep the top partially over the box because the little rascals are flying up on the edge of the box (which is a deep rubbermaid tub) and getting out. Got the coop for the new hen and rooster repaired and got them in it yesterday afternoon. Got the Dominiques seperated from the silkies now. Even though both pair seemed to be getting along pretty good. Neither hen has started laying yet. The rabbits are getting thick fur for winter. Have two does due to kindle November 11th. Hope we can start breeding the meat does by the middle of November. I have been reading about having rabbits in colonies. We are talking about trying to do a colony for the regular ones that we have. The processor told me that she didn't want the ones that I plan to bring her to be put on the ground. They have free hanging cages anyway so they are easier to care for and keep their cages clean. We have several does that we have raised that we are thinking about putting in the colony. Then get a new buck to bring in for them. Harry, I know what you mean about the time change. But I sort of like it myself. Makes it easier to get up and get ready in the morning when I have to work. I woke up yesterday (Sunday) morning. Got up and decided to check to see if there was e-mail from son or grandson. Looked at the time...4:40 am.....And I was wide awake...LOL I hope everyone has a great week.... Jan

I haven't caught up on all that is going on but I did see that Maddie is posting again. Maddie~We love watching HK. Who do you think will win? We have watched it all 3 seasons now. We are busy getting all of our dr. visits in so that we can make this trip the end of the month to TX. We are both looking forward to it very much. We can hardly wait to see DSs, DD, DGD, DGSs, etc. It should be a great trip. I'm hoping to visit with my sister some too. My blood pressure has been runnning high & Dave is having a lot of trouble with his arthritis. I have an eye infection. Yuck! DS#1 says, "It is always something!" LOL Like I don't know it. LMAO He was 29 Tues. Getting a little too big for his britches, me thinks. I've been trying to guess who I'll have for my Christmas buddy so that I can get some ideas started. LOL I know, I'm too funny. Oh, yeah, Maddie, I've always thought that being a coroner would be kinda neat too. Or maybe a forensic scientist. (Evil laugh!) Be good to yourselves b/c you deserve it. I'll try to post more tomorrow. We are still working on the 50th anniversary scrapbook. It isn't too many pages so we did 6 on Sunday & ran out of card stock. We got more today. Will try to work on it tomorrow while Dave is doing the clothes. Patti :)

Hi all. I've been doing real well for the last two days. Went to the store and stocked up on a variety of foods. I am not one who can plan their meals ahead of time. I need to be able to eat what I want at each meal or I will feel unsatisfied. I have to be a bit selfish when I want to lose weight. I treat myself to the things I like. I went and bought some boneless centercut porkchops and pineapple so I could do teriyaki with them. I got some dark rye for the egg salad I've been craving. Bought a bunch of ground beef for freezing into weighed out patties for the freezer. I keep a few Lean Cuisine frozen meals and I like the new Pannini sandwiches. I will buy the regular ones as well as the Lean Cuisines because I find a half of one fills me up fine. For snacks I usually have regular ice cream that I eat in a 1/2 cup Tupperware snack cup. I like the Jello fat free Devils Food pudding cups. I also like the new Weight Watcher's Key Lime Cheesecake and I love the peanut butter chocolate or mint Skinny Cows. I fool myself into "healthy" desserts by using a frozen pancake as a base, topping it with sliced banana, cinnamon sugar and a squirt of whipped cream and calling it "pie". Do the same with a nuked sliced apple or canned blueberry topping. For take-alongs I carry little cups of natural applesauce, chewy low fat granola bars or breakfast bars, the above mentioned cheesecakes or pudding and fresh fruit. When I know I'll be out for awhile I pack a small insulated lunch bag with snacks and a diet soda so I won't be tempted by the drive-though or heaven forbid the donut shop. I have a challenge tonight, will be meeting some Red Hatters to eat at Dave and Busters. Looked at their menu and it's going to take some doing to stay on program. I see they have rice and they have steak and grilled shrimp. Maybe they will sub the grilled shrimp for the fried on the shrimp dinner. Or I could bring my insulated bag with gel ice, order the steak and shrimp and bring the steak home for a cold steak lunch tomorrow YUM. Tomorrow is my weigh-in and I'm shooting for a break even day what with eating out and hanging out in the bar to watch some friends in a karioke contest. They won a cruise last year and are shooting for a trip to Hawaii this year.

Good Evening. All went well with DH Surgery. He is home and comfy cozy. The dr. came out and had the stone with him. It was big. So now that drama is over with, thank goodness. Besh - I am still in Florida with hopes of moving to Tennessee. Our home is up for sale but as it is everywhere, the market is slow. So we are being patient. I no longer have the link for pics Marci, if you could e-mail me it again I would appreciate it, plus I could send you some pics to post of my beautiful fur babies. None of me yet, as I am huge. I just cannot seem to get it together. I love food and use it as a crutch I think. When I am eating all the wrong things, I am comforted in some way. I say to myself, oh you had a bad day, its ok to eat this huge bowl of ice cream, or candy or cake, whatever. hahahaha. It gets to the point that if I break a nail I gotta have a banana split...hahahaha just kidding. But I have noticed that I get happy when I am chomping. We went to Ohio a couple weeks ago for my parents 50th wedding anniversary and had a great time, but when the pictures came back, I was horrified to see myself in them, so I am hoping I will use that as a kick in my butt to get motivated. I did buy a dvd called brazilian dance workout. I'll let you know how it is. DeeMarie - I am sending peaceful thoughts to your friend. Take care everyone --- Magickitty

Now, WHEN do you change the clocks.....before you go to bed, or when you get up in the morning?

We'll be happy to stop rising before the sun. I read that the year the US stayed on daylight savings year round, the latest sunrise was about 8:20 a.m. (Nixon administration experiment.)

Have you noticed how expensive 9-V batteries are now? We need four for our alarms. I've been watching for sales, coupons, whatever! Looks like one 9-V is $3.

I get up at 6 AM and it really messes me up to be up when it's still completely dark outside. My body doesn't respond well so I'm really looking forward to this change! Even a little bit of dawn makes all the difference for me.

Last Sunday morning,Oct 30, hubby woke me up to tell me "The clock in the TV is wrong." It showed 8:30, while the rest of the clocks in my house showed 9:30. I turned on the computer and it shgowed 9:30. I sort of guessed the TV was programmed years ago, and had jumped back due to Daylight Savings Time. I fixed the TV. Later, I went to my car and its clock was also an hour behind. Rather than change it twice, Oct 30 and again Nov 6, I just left it,figuring it's just easier to let it sty. Now on Sunday I'll have to re-do the TV, as well as all the regular clocks. Sigh...

I remember when the change took place before Halloween instead of after and it was so dark driving home from work and there were already so many kids on the streets and sidewalks that I was terrified I would accidentally hit one.

I kept wondering why they didn't wait until after Halloween to change the clocks...and now they do. You're welcome. :-) LOL

Jodi- who loves waking up when it's dark but also wants it to stay light until 8pm so I can go hiking after work.

Why do we even need daylight savings times anymore? Originally it was to save electricity and help the farmers in the fields.
