lol true.
And I won't miss it when I leave either. The pool made it tolerable. The pool I will miss. Love having a pool I could walk out and fall into whenever I felt like.

I once put on my duster and hat and walked past 2 trailers and into the dock office, and it was raining so hard it soaked my LEGGS under the duster. In Florida. Rain was bouncing up off the pavement that hard.

Yup, I believe it. I've been dressed up on my way to things only to hit a storm. Ended up soaked. Looked like a wet cat in church.

Know how I solved that? I don't dress up for things.

I did that once but it wasn't from me being good, it was the good beer.

Its all good now. We are going to find her a new doctor before this one kills her.

I have to copy and paste cat to get the spelling right.

Lot of people here who know how you are feeling. Sorry for you.

You are here aren't you, so the answer is yes.

Breakfast for dinner tonight starting with biscuits and sausage/pepper gravy.

If I had been able to make it to my class reunion yesterday I wouldn't have lost my dog- we'd have been in Illinois Monday morning. Little guy could be a turd. Walked into the bedroom one night last winter to find this.

Aww Huck, sweet boy. When they do stuff like that it is hard to be mad at them.

Bark, that's good news. She deserves a good Doc.

I spent some time working in Pensacola when I was younger. It rained every day between 1400-1500.

State of emergency back home. Heavy rains/flooding. Very bad. Roads gone. Homes gone. So far I haven't heard anything negative for our home.
Over 6" and still raining.

Good morning. Already drinking my usual first hot drink of the day, fresh squeezed lime and lemon. Will have a coffee later.

Welcome back Chaikwa. Now looking for the good in you and respecting your journey. Did you have a good journey? That is what you meant isn't it?

Made fresh coffee. It's a special Mexican blend, only available locally. It's too early to make Ph00, so somebody else can make that later. Waiting for Clint and Top to bring the goodies.

It did NOT rain last night. First night that it did not rain in about 5 nights.

Got my truck back on Saturday and it sure looks purdy. Actually it looks like new again. It was not that bad when I sent it for a complete makeover at the beauty parlor, but now that it is completely cleaned up and polished it looks different. Already had nice comments about it. The new shocks are en route to me and will be here in a couple of days and once those are in, the truck will be almost better than new.

Hope the rest of you have an outstanding day.
