SATURDAY FOR THE MVM

[zip2play]

Good morning, skinny ones.
Here's a picture of a typical day in my sauna:



Theater this afternoon, something called SHYLOCK (I guess HE wouldn't have wanted a 30% top cap on interest rates either.)

Gang, if you want to spend some snowy days looking at some of the best photographs and etching back as far as they go, check this site out...there are two addy's becazsue the NYPL collection is doing a changeover...use whichever is more straightforward for you.

I think the first is easiest for a first visit and the second easiest to find something VERY specific.

How about some blouses for women with REALLY good dieting habits: dig those waistlines:

I'm taking Bob to an Italian Restaurant for a belated birthday after the show....we MAY have to loosen those blouses!

Looks like the EAST is in for a week of cold, rain, sleet and SNEAUX!

Zip you're a tough act to follow. Love the fellows and gals at your sauna. Don't see any grapes though. Wonder how those gals got those waist lines? Maybe they had problem breathing with all of those corsets.

Ginny thanks for my new avitar. They had an orchid show last week in Paducah that I did not get to but thought about you and your kids.

Nothing new to report. Hope I can bet busy next week and power wash the shed before we paint it. I am anxious to get started. My oldest son, a painter part time, will be busy helping me. Maybe I can get some things out of the way before he gets here. 2 of my sons will be running in a race in Nashville around the 19th of this month. So it will all workout just fine. I am planning a turkey dinner for Sunday, my oldest birthday. One of the kids is the local one.

Shawnee I don't think my tulips will come up. No more growth on the two that did sprout through the soil. There should be some action there.

Bought and tried a Snickerdookle cookie mix that was on sale at WM for .50 from carbsense (MiniCarb). The price was right, it has some soy in it though. 2 net carbs per cookie. I snatched a taste but I like my almond flour better. I'll give them a real test tomorrow when I eat 3 of them.

Susun hope your DSIL has time to get your mail and internet running from home again.

Hey to the rest of the bunch.

Back for more later.

Now you have done it Roger. I just spent considerable time browsing those sites. Wow!! It will take me YEARS to look at everything. Humm, I guess I'll have to order more ink for the printer if I want some of them to hang on the wall.

Can't imagine having a waist that small. How the hell could they breathe?

Happy Belated Birthday to Bob.

Missed our annual St. Pat's day parade but we may go to one of the post parade parties just to hear some of the pipers. There are many to choose from. The big pipe bands from NYC, Phil. Boston and other areas will be here, but we especially enjoy a blind piper from Philadelphia who is absolutely spectacular.

Loretta, I'm waiting for my Carbquick to arrive. According to UPS site, Monday is the delivery date. I want to try some cookies and biscuits.

We should power wash our deck and put another coat of stain on it. We did it last year but the darn stain didn't hold up very well at all.

Yumm, Turkey dinner. Happy Birthday to your son.

More later.
I'm looking for some paint in our basement so I can touch up some of the kitchen wall.

Hey all,

We had a busy day today starting off with Bull and Tyke getting their annual dr's visit, complete with shots. They were very good, and the dr gave them TREATS! Happy pups Then did a little flea market/antique/junk shopping before going to the Lawn and Garden show. Nice show this year, crowds were down from the last time while we were there, but that's a good thing for us! We were able to get around easily. So a good day was had by all!

Loretta, love the avatar! Pretty laelia! I know your DH is tickled to have his boat back too. I like the apple cinnamon muffin mix, got some on my counter to make yet tonight. I like the generic robitussing cough pills, they work great for me......especially since I can't stand cough syrup! I'm a lightweight with meds, so I only take 1/2 dose.

Linda, if you're looking at waist sizes from when they wore corsets, women actually died from organ compression then! They would just plain smush themselves in the name of vanity. I think I'll take the natural, able-to-breathe look! Hope your DS can continue his sobriety. Not an easy task, but well worth it!

Zip, hope the show and dinner are both good! How is Phonecia doing bloomwise? Saw lots of pretty phals etc at the L & G today, but only came back with one plant, NOT a phal!

Susan, glad you finally got the computer back on track. If we lost our connection it would drive us nuts (short trip)! All of our gang have had 'those parts' eliminated too. Of course, they're all mixed breeds so showing isn't an option, but any dog here will have that done as we aren't breeders or intend to become so.

Julie, wow, I sure didn't realize it's been 9 months for Nick! Congratulations to him for continuing so well! Thank you for giving him a chance at a real life. Even though he's of chronological age to be considered an adult, he's had a lot of growing up to do in a short time.

Barb, how long before you see spring in your area? Officially, the 20th signifies it, but that don't mean squat up north! Will you have wildlife issues once everything thaws?

Shawnee, didn't take the camera to the show, but thought I'd share a new avatar with y'all. Kind of my spring welcome after a pretty day today! Grrrr on the critters getting to the tulips! We don't have much trouble with that here, but there's 5 pairs of eyes keeping close watch! Any pup time this weekend for ya?

Well, all, off to lurk for a bit, then bed. Hope everyone has a good night!
