I am ready for a late night snack. Possibly of intrest, when in "The Cities" (Minneapolis/St.Paul for those people not in Minnesota) we were going to a Twins baseball game, when I saw BNSF,BN,SF,and EMD units heading light for Northtown. The BN,SF, and BNSF were of special intrest.

Boy, I sure could go for a tall glass of that lemonade right now. I've been busy re-landscaping the front lawn of our house, including planting a clump of birch trees that are already 12 feet tall. Had to dig a pretty deep hole for them!

Cool! Some neat morning wakeup music.

Le'see - Scrambled eggs, some bacon, french toast with maple syrup, an English muffin, tall glass of OJ. I'm all set!

With the health history on my father's side of the family I could eat all of the 'right' things and still have a cholesterol count out in the stratosphere somewhere. Might as well enjoy myself. Besides, I make every effort to eat in moderation - just one helping of each... And my mother's side is known for its longevity.

Morning All [:)]

I liked working second shift. No big bosses around and pretty relaxed. [8D]

Now, the bad news, Duchess is sick , now she is not throwing up, it is the other end. [B)] [V] [:(]

Grrrrr, its THAT time of the year again, time to renew the truck's license plate. [:(] I hate standing in line while those "people" take their time doing everything BUT their job. [:(!]

Can anyone send me some rain, it seems like everyone but me gets rain the last month. I have water my lawn just to keep part of it from dying.

I tried to find the Stupid Question Thread last night after work. That was one thread which was always interesting and the perfect place to ask a quesion. I think it would do the forum good to bring it back.

Well I have things to do this morning before work so off I go. [;)]

Everyone take care.

The weather is here, wish you were beautiful. [:D] [:o)] [;)]

Already craving the cold drinks today--hot and sticky outside. Yesterday was so steamy that I couldn't see the Chicago skyline from work, in spite of the fact that it was a clear day (it's about 14 miles from Tower A to Tower S[ears]). There's a slight chance of rain tonight.

Tomorrow night we're going down to the Lake for a concert in Grant Park. That should be cool--in more ways than one!

As long as we're reading T-shirts, I saw one in the mall last week (that was my visit to a mall for 2005), worn by a young guy:

"PARENTS FOR SALE...Buy one, get one free."

My favorite was a shirt in camoflage print, on which was emblazoned:

"HA! Now you can't see me!"

I have a T-Shirt I wear for sailing that reads (upside down on the back) "If you can read this, pull me back in the boat."

Of course I sail alone, so a lot of good that does me...

I've got a shirt that reads "Still plays with trains". My sister gave it to me when I worked for the railroad. I also used to have a shirt that read "Real men don't need instructions".

I'll take a few gallons of water or Gatorade for work today, forecast high of 92 around here, and humid. Gonna be hot in the plant today. I might sneak in about 3am for dinner tonite, we'll see.

Have a good day everyone, I'll try to.

Let's see, train shirts...

How about; "Got steam?"

A shirt that says; "What's your type?" and lists the Whyte classification system.

Or how about "HO scale modelers do it 1:87 times a day."[;)]

What has happened to my TWINS!!!!! In the words of Charlie Brown: AAAUUUGGHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Both the Twins and the Cubs have gone substancially (wrong spelling) downhill.

Mookie: I just woke up and was not in the mood to cook. And the squirrel was attacked by something.

Ok, my neighbor (weird guy) raises squirrels, so this morning he knocks on my house and says, "What happened to my squirrel", and I told him I didnt know. He said he might press charges. (as if there are any) (as I said, weird guy)

I aslo have noticed that even through what I have dubbed "The Crappy Post" era, the coffee shop has stayed out of the crappy posts area. YAY for us!

When I was younger and I had to go to the supermarket with my mom and a friend of mine (sometimes) we would hold racing competitions down the asle's with shoping carts. It got so bad to the point of were we were knocking down items and other things off the shelves. We also tackled one another into the shelves which also caused the food or whatever to go splat. Good times, god times. I was kind of distructive as a kid, my mom said I should be in the demoliation bussness, since the only real thing I knew how to do well was search and distroy. Thats why I played ice hockey for 9 yrs. lol

CW I'm going to need to have some of that meatloaf.

Today in Philly it was suposed to rain and thunder storm but, did we get anything??? NO!! I worry about some of these weather reports. It got up to around 80 somthing here. I do wonder if the rain is going to come later on?//.

T-shirts I have one from six flags that says on the front "Have you ever been this high?" Back is reads NITRO SIX FLAGS GREAT ADVENTURE height 240ft, speed 80mph, ride duration 4mins. People always ask me about that shirt because of the "Have you ever been this high? saying.
I have another one that reads "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful, hate me because your boyfriend thinks I am."

YAY! Lemonade, thank you!

Conjunction Junction, what's your function? Hooking up words, and phrases and clauses.

Out of the frying pan, AND into the fire. Cut the sandbags, BUT the balloon wouldn't go any higher. Let's go up to the mountains, OR down to the see. Always say 'thank you,' OR at least say 'please!'

I love Conjunction Junction.[:D]
