Best wishes and prayers from here too Randy.

[locomutt]

Randy,

Thoughts and Prayers to all concerned from here.
CW & I have a close family member that suffers from
same illness/disease;seems that it's not publicized as
much as other things are.
We wish her a very speedy recovery.

Walt

[blhanel]

I have first-hand experience with what she's going through.

[Mookie]

Randy - your mom's condition is more common than we would like. And it runs in families. Not a fun thing to go through, but once she heals she should feel a whole lot better. I wish her well.

Afternoon all...

Been a rough past few days for me, I called my parents Saturday to find out my mom was in the hospital, her diverticulitis (I think that's right) was becoming a problem (This has something to do with the large intestine, but I haven't talked to a doctor about it yet.). Anyway, I found out Monday she was to have surgery, called my sister yesterday, found out she was doing good, she was scheduled to be moved out of ICU into a private room, but she'll be there for a week or two recovering.

Been wet up here since yesterday morning, not sure if the weather had anything to do with a fatal wreck near Waupon, which is about an hour of so northeast of me. A car travelling down US151 plowed into a train car 31 deep in the train and was dragged for seven miles before the train stopped. Ugly mess.[xx(][xx(][xx(]

Back to the weather, forecast for later is to get wet, windy and cold, high for tomorrow is not supposed to even hit 50, and will stay cool for a few days.

Potato soup with roast beef sandwiches sounds great for lunch, I'll take some, please.

[locomutt]

Mookie; you're correct about "cats" having opinions;but they're
supposed to use "the pause,at the end of a clause"; NOT
"the Claws at the end of their Paws!!" [(-D][(-D]

Tree;removal of said things HAS been considered;that one's
still rather up in the air.

Brian(Ia);think that was trainutz,not totally sure.[%-)]
Maybe if I put the carp around the lilacs,I wouldn't have
to totally think about the removal procedure.[(-D]
You All have a safe trip to Vegas.[^]
Congrats on the 4th star also! [bow]

Sarah;might consider that manure,if it's from Pa.;don't think I would
want any of the stuff from 'Joisey';might be a bit more contaminated!![swg]

Brian (Ky);Your check's covered;hope you remembered to take a "Doggie Bag"
home for the REST of the Family![:O][8D][:I][^][swg]

Morning All

I have been watching our radar yesterday and today. Yesterday there was red east of us, north of us, and west of us. Today there is red south of us, but so far all we have had here is rain. The extremely heavy rain they predicted for us yesterday must have fallen elsewhere because it didn't fall here. However, we still have it in the forecast for today. It looks like a good portion of the central states are getting rain today.

I mowed the yard yesterday, did laundry, and unloaded the dishwasher. Today more of the same except for the yard. Hopefully I can get some other housework done today.

It sure is nice to actualy have some spring this year. I love not having to spend money on heat or A/C. It seems like so many years we have had the heat on one week and the A/C the next. It is cloudy here today and currently 73. It rained some this morning and could rain again any minute.

I hope the weather is nice when the 844 gets here. It has been maybe 10 years since it was here last. [:(] So I am looking forward to seeing it.

I see we lost someone. I hate to see that.

Well Everyone Take Care

[louisnash]

CW,
I'll take a bowl of potato soup and a roast beef sandwich. Haven't had roast beef for some time.
Just leave the check with LM, and I'll let him take care of it for me.

Brian (KY)

[blhanel]

One more star, please! I was hoping you'd give me an excuse to collect it now...[tup]

Oh, I'm sure I'll waste a few quarters in the slots. I'd be better off to give them to my son and let him play poker with them, though.

[chad thomas]

Ah come on now, I'm sure you have some change laying around somewhere.[;)] And congrats on that 4th star you're about to get.

[blhanel]

Thanks Chad- for what we're doing, we won't need much luck, not enough money or time for that. Any spare time we do have will be spent next to or in the Sahara's swimming pool.[8D]

[chad thomas]

Hey Brian, Good luck in Vegas. I was just up there a couple months ago for a wedding myself. Hope you all have a good time.[8D]

[blhanel]

QUOTE: CW, thanks for all the fine food here in the Diner. Guess it's time to move on and leave the bandwidth for those with quality posts.
Abyssinia.

When I first saw this, I didn't pay close enough attention to who posted it- what did I miss?[%-)]

[blhanel]

Just a BLT for me, please. Gotta take it easy before heading to Vegas.

[cherokee woman]

Well, we started getting thunder about 45 minutes ago. Since it's now raining,
here's the lunch menu today: your choice of tomato, vegetable beef, or potato
soup w/your choice of these sandwices: PB&J, bologna & cheese, plain PB,
grilled cheese, BLT, roast beef.

[Mookie]

Tee hee - I am enjoying the morning read here!

CW - call your extension agent - it is free and they can tell you if you maybe need to add something to the soil. It may be too acidic or not enough.

Like Tree said, if you don't cut the suckers they will take over your property.

Tree - [^] One of a cats more endearing qualities. They have their opinions at their fingertips!

Also - check out www.journalstar.com under articles about our local fire dept and something pretty nice that they did on a very cold windy day. Kleenex will follow.

Joe - Millie's two biggest faults - I have my hands full and then try to undo the seat belt!
And the door is always locked when I try to get out (I am being let out at the curb) Or I am trying to roll down the window and the Driver shuts the key off. It is an experience just watching us try to get in and out of the car! Back to the crank and roll it yourself. And the only seatbelt was when the driver stuck their arm in front of you! Ah....

Jay - love Doonesbury! So politically "correct!".

Brian - the icky water they have for ponds nearby, you should bury the carp - you sure wouldn't want to eat them!

BC - evidently they have a park full of lilacs! Sigh....I think I would live there during spring!

Sarah - we dry, varnish and sell that manure. Makes good paperweights - I think. Maybe I should think about that for the kitty litt.........er........maybe not. I did give an Xmas gift one year of a small container of kitty litter. (of course it was clean!) [:(!]

I will need one picnic basket to go for Friday - I am going to take a day off work ([:O] - really! Gonna go looking for a big sack to put my possessions in for my trip east. It will be really tiring looking, so need to have some tidbits while I lay on my blanket under a shade tree and ponder where to find said sack. Probably take all day. Very tiring. May have to take several naps......

Gonna start now and practice...........

Good Wednesday morning, everyone. Well, looks like rain is starting here.
They say we might have some severe storms late this afternoon, into the
evening. Jim, here it's already raining in your area. Believe that's what we're
supposed to get later this afternoon, and tonight.

Breakfast this morning: bacon, sausage and pancakes. Anyone want some
watermelon chunks for breakfast?

Supposed to rain tomorrow here. Hopefully it won't arrive until after my drive tonight - have to travel to Utica for a "car host" meeting with the Adirondack RR. Not looking forward to the two hour drive home with a midnight arrival...

I'll take some of that watermelon!

[JoeKoh]

calling for rain here later today and tonight.we can use it. been getting a little dry.
stay safe

You can try going fishing! One year my Dad speared some carp that were running up the stream next to our property- he dug holes next to some little evergreens we had, and buried the carp in them; the next year, the evergreens doubled in size!

[tree68]

Re: Lilacs - Seems like I've been told that they only bloom every other year - or rather that a given branch blooms every other year, so half of the plant is blooming every year. [%-)]

Mine just plain got to unwieldy, and now they are gone. As much as I love the smell of real lilacs, they weren't worth the hassles. Maybe I'll put some in out by the back fence...

As for a foolproof way of getting it to bloom - try to get rid of it....[:P]

And then there are clean cats. I'm usually too busy bandaging up my wounds to see if the cat smells good.... And I even use lilac-scented shampoo!

[CSXrules4eva]

CW you want manure no problem. At my house were are over stocked with manure due to the number of my grandma's gardens and feilds romaing the property. Actually, you can smell it from a good 1/2 block away.

Well, Chad is sounds as if you had way too much fun a couple of days ago. That almost reminds me of the times I have walked into a sports bar during NFL or NHL playoffs, here in Philly. I would always walk in with our team jersey on, and as soon as I step into the bar I get people that I don't know giving me high fives, and yelling YEAAA!!!!! It still happenes to me as of this day.

CW what's for din din??

[cherokee woman]

John, I've tried the Miracle Grow you attach to the water hose. Hasn't worked so far.
Brian (IA), we prune it every fall, and that's not working, either. The bush grows, but
just not producing any flowers. All the other things he planted at the same time are
really thriving. The other things planted were a Soldier's Prayer Red Rose, a holly
bush, and a burning bush. Maybe I need someone to bring me a bag of manure to
put on it this fall.

[jeaton]

Since the subjects today range from evenings in TJ to smelling the lilacs-any serious Doonesbury fans out there? Check this out:

[blhanel]

I remember hearing somewhere that you have to prune the lilac bush back every fall, which tends to make it flower more.

[JoeKoh]

watermelon works great too and potatoes for smashed taters yummy!
stay safe

CW,
Try using that Miracle Grow Plant stuff. Looking foward to Dinner, things have been busy around here.
