Fine!! Then I won't post a picture of the AR Uno made me for Christmas. :( :(

I feel your pain, fellas. My '04 Mazda SUV has nary a scratch on her and just turned 160,000. Unfortunately, she has this phantom electrical problem that I'm afraid might do her in. I have things like dash lights going off and on, instrument lights going off and on, radio works sometimes etc. We'll have to see what happens next. I've warned Uno that she may decide she's tired of me and turn herself into a car-b-que. We'll see.

Congrats!!!

Yes BUT, and there is always the BUT, can you imagine the consequences if the car in front of you kicked up one or more of those little beauties and they found their way to your windshield at mach speed? That would not be as much fun...............

A lefty like me. I like it!!!!

You couldn't help but smile when she was on the screen. Rest in Peace Ms. Moore. Thanks for all the smiles.

Another use might be in crafts. Those look similar to the greenish marbles I've seen sold at places like Michael's or JoAnn's for use in flower arranging.

I guess I must be living in a bubble. The weather guesser I watch every evening is pretty right on, most of the time. He's a little bit of a showman and exaggerates on occasion, but still pretty accurate. I would rather he tell us we will get 2" of snow, and we only receive 0.2" than the opposite.

This is Mt Wilson in So Cal as of about 10 minutes ago. The observatory is at 5,700 feet. https://clan-morrison.smugmug.com/SASS-Costumes/n-dQJMdb/i-g2ppMpK/A

WOW!!! Would you believe we are supposed to get up to 71 today??? In January, in the midwest. I guess since it is Missouri stranger things have happened......

Joe. I really appreciate your intelligence. Please explain to this ditsy blond how 253 = England, 269 = expects etc. I have figured out duty but the rest is beyond me. Thank you for all your great posts.

Awesome!!! Congrats PawPaw.

I guess I'm an old timer. I really liked the days of old when people would dress to go to the store or out for the evening, and I don't mean grabbing a clean pair of jeans and a t-shirt. I mean dresses, hats, heels, jewelry, ties and coats. I miss that kind of glamour. Sigh. I guess I live in the wrong age.

When we lived in Cali, we used to volunteer at an annual Halloween charity event at the Universal Studios back lot. We would decorate our section of the back lot and hand out candy donated by manufacturers to trick or treaters. They also had local restaurants giving away their food in case the guests got hungry. Those trick or treaters would pay to come in and participate, with all the proceeds going to Ronald McDonald charities. It would attract thousands of celebrities and elites from all around the area. I got to meet people like Will and Jada Smith and their family, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, Alice Cooper, Jerry Seinfeld and many others. I was usually too busy to strike up a conversation with any of them though.

Prayers up for the family. Respiratory ailments, especially at their age, can be very serious.

How she can narrate that with a straight face..........

We laugh at this but I just heard about a co-worker who's grandparents fell for a phone scam this past weekend. They received a call from a person alleging to be a bail bondsman telling them their grandson was in jail and needed to be bailed out. Send $4K to the Western Union office at the local Walmart where the bondsman would retrieve the money and get the young man out of jail. After the grandparents complied, they received another call saying the amount was wrong and they needed to send another $4K to the Walmart for the bail bondsman. They complied. When the caller attempted this a third time, the grandparents grew suspicious and called the parents of the grandson to find out what was going on. That's when they determined it was a hoax. These simple farm folks are now out $8K with no recourse. They are looking at surveillance video from the store to determine who picked up the money but it doesn't look good. Be aware, they're out there...

Congrats, SD. She is quite the markswoman!!!

IIRC my father met him when the astronauts toured the facility where the capsules were built. My father was in awe to be in such honored company. Rest in peace, sir.

Oh my goodness. Really??? We have mutual agreements about nearly everything pertaining to the house. If we don't agree, and the investment is significant, we wait until we can reach an agreement. Personally, I like that chair and would have it in my media room in a minute. I will have to post pictures to show you what we mutually agreed on for that room........

In the couple of years I've lived here, I would say YES!!!

So what do your peeves look like? Kinda like Tribbles or what? I'm especially interested in those nauga/peeves. Those sound really interesting. Can you use their hides for anything? How many would you need? http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/a7/b6/40/a7b640c10ebf02d6bfcf8e67a898227e.jpg
