Or if things are really bad Larry, do what I do and start blinking one eye and twitching your head from side to side.......Just kidding.[swg]

Chad...You must of had a secretary typing that rather long letter posted above...after having all that op on the finger / hand....Personally, I don't know how anyone could type at all after all that.....let alone be concerned about spelling....Must be dedication.

I still do the two finger peck on the keyboard so it is just a matter of useing my middle finger on my right hand instead of my index. There is no pain involved (except for what the doctor did) and that's why I didn't address the issue right away. I am getting tired of people asking what I am pointing at though.[;)]

[chad thomas]

Hummm.... A secratary to type my posts on the train forums.....I like that concept...

Na, I would get fired for sure.[(-D]

[CShaveRR]

Hope things get better for you soon, Chad! Keep it covered (for more reasons than one!).

Blah day today, in spite of the nice weather. Tomorrow is going to be fun here--they just posted a winter storm watch for tomorrow night; we could get four to eight inches of snow by Saturday morning.

Hmmm...I forgot when MC was due to arrive in our neck of the woods. You don't suppose this would be the feathery stuff, do you?

Uncle Pete hasn't said go yet - Somebody in OMAHA waiting for one of those really mean storms to break out? (sinckers eminating from 1400 Douglass?)

[chad thomas]

Leads one to ask is he following the weather or is it following him.[swg]

Well, the "Hallelujah Chorus" is now going!! WE HAVE ELECTRICITY again
after a week in the dark[:D][:D] Now we no longer feel quite like "mushrooms":
you know, they are grown in the dark!![:I][}:)] The man from the electric company
has just left after hooking us up from the weather-head. The electricians had
us hooked up temporarily at 3:10 p.m. EST.

Walt and I want to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you for
your thoughts and prayers. You don't know what that means to us, knowing
everyone of you has been thinking of us, and praying for us. PRAYERS DO
WORK!! We can NEVER thank all of you enough.

Think Mutt and I are ready for some of that meat loaf, mashed taters, Larry's
barbequed chicken, and everything else!! Sure does sound good for tonight!!

CHAD: hope your hand is better very, very soon. We will keep YOU in our
prayers!!

[JoeKoh]

cw welcome back!!!!!! hope your email is cleaned out.
stay safe
joe

[CShaveRR]

I thoughtthe place looked a little brighter! I don't think that's purely the result of increased lighting.

Welcome back, Cher! (And Mutt, too!)

[blhanel]

Alright! Break out the chocolate cake quick, before Mook gets back!

[Anonymous]

For the occasion, I made two chocolate cheesecakes; one for CW and one to distract Mookie.[swg]

[Modelcar]

....A welcome surprise.....So glad to hear You {Paula and Walt}, have had your electric service repaired and connected again.....We know lots of folks on here were praying for you and we also know you are grateful for that....We feel better now knowing you folks are not in "the dark" and have your conveniences back.....What a blessing...!

[(-D][(-D][(-D] Hadn't though about that one.

[chad thomas]

Thanks Joe and Paula, and a big welcome back to you and walt. The place just isn't the same without you. In celebration tonight I'll buy dinner for everyone!!![:D]

[cherokee woman]

Thank you, everybody, for the [#welcome] messages! Walt and I feel truly
blessed to have friends (family) like all of you in our lives. You are all so
very precious to both of us. Please, don't ever forget that!!

Chad, could I have an order of lasagna and a bowl of spicy hot chilli?!?!
That sounds so good right now. I'll provide the dessert: do have a couple
of chocolate cakes out, and an apple pie, and a strawberry cobbler.

[blhanel]

Mmmm, and is that chocolate cake good! It's so good, I think I'll take sec- OUCH! Something just clawed me in the back!

[Anonymous]

Well Thank You Chad [:D]

I will have that nice super large, hungry man 32 oz cut of Prime Rib done MR. And for a few sides, a 16 oz NY Strip, scallops, shrimp, mushroom (lots of them please) a nice large baked potato with tons of butter, some of the green stuff (that CW doesn't like) with a nice coating of cheese sauce, 2 other vegys, and some nice hot yeast rolls. [:p] For dessert, a nice large slice of NY Cheesecake, some hot apply pie with cheese, and of course with hot apply pie you just HAVE to have vanilla ice cream, some a few of the speciality desserts of the day. That should do me for half the day. [:D] [:o)] [8D]


It is nice to see CW and Mutt back online. It is good to have POWER, right CW ?

Funny, it is 63 outside right now at about 1 am. Someone remind me what month we are in right now, seems about like April or May to me.

Well everyone take care.

[Mookie]

Ah - the lights are on in the diner! What a great feeling! It had been so dark and gloomy in here I had to keep sitting out on the back step. Got a splinter in my tail!

I will just whip up a little breakfast before CW comes in - kibbles, meow mix, canned catfish, side of milk! Oh and a vitamin! Won't she be pleased! Even Mutt will enjoy that - dogs always enjoy cat food. Notice cats don't eat dog food - unless they are very indiscriminate!

Brian from Iowa.....won't he be surprised when he comes in and finds the plate that his chocolate cake was on is all clean and put back in the cupboard. Always glad to be of service to people I like! And next time he gets into the cake, maybe I can make his new jeans look expensive - with holes in them!

I read Jim's menu and instantly got heartburn! Time for a little sun - I think I see a spot over in the corner in the rocking chair....@

[cherokee woman]

Good morning everyone!! Ah, how nice it is to say that to everyone again!!
Have been up just long enough to put on the coffee and make up some
fresh juice: have your choice of orange, tangerine, and pineapple juice.

To go along with the kibbles Mookie put out, there is turkey bacon, sausage,
sausage gravy & biscuits, choice of fried taters or hash browns, and
scrambled eggs.

If anyone takes electricity for granted, just let something happen to your
fuse box (if you still have one of those in your house!), and see how
you handle it. I think it was a good thing I was raised in the country, where
things like that could happen at any time.

Everybody take care, and I'll be back in a bit. Came in here before I even
checked my inbox for mail.

[JoeKoh]

paula
its always good to have a back up plan just in case and thanks for breakfast!
brian didnt I warn you? DO NOT MIF THE CAT. going to help mamma get the shopping done before the rain comes today.wondering if we will have visitors tommorow from pennsylvania.they are headed for chicago but looking at the weather maps they might stay home.
stay safe
Joe

CW - Good to have you back to start off the mornings! We've been trying to keep up, but it's been hit or miss...

Ms Mook - My cat (who gets along very well with my dog, and only slightly less so with my daughter's Dalmatian) is always waiting in the wings when I give the dog her daily packet of moist food. Once Kieko eats all the moist food, Pookie sneaks in to clean up some of the leftover "gravy". She gets her water from the dog's dish, too, but doesn't touch the kibbles.

On the other hand, the cat's food dish is up on a counter in the laundry room, so the dogs don't get to it...

What happened to winter? 48 here now, the snow is mostly gone (except the lake effect stuff that fell earlier in the week to our south). I'm afraid that we won't get much more snow, and when you get right down to it, we really do need that 100". It keeps the water table up and the reservoirs full. I can live with the snow - it's the ice and the freeze/thaw I hate.

[cherokee woman]

Larry, thank you for your kind words.

Speaking of the weather feeling like spring time, one day last week, think
it was Sunday afternoon, decided to go for a short walk. While on my stroll,
I saw about 5 or 6 ROBINS !!

[Modelcar]

...My neice has reported seeing Robins over in Philadelphia about a week ago...I'm afraid they have come back much too early....Even March can have wild weather swings.
CW....We understand when a home is cut off from power it is a radical change...Last Jan. 5th here in Muncie when the ice storm hit we had 114,000 folks without electricity, some for up to 10 days....We here at our home just 55 hours but we managed to get out of here and go 10 miles where there was power and get in a Hampton Inn until we got power back...But we had no water, heat or of course anything run by electricity...Total electric home and our own well, etc....It REALLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE not to have power....! We were so glad to hear you and Mutt were again supplied with power yesterday....

[mudchicken]

Hot Cider Please( We now have juice to heat up 'da juice)

4 Inches of snow here overnight. Everybody last night and this morning is playing bumper cars account the thin layer of ice under the snow.

Things getting back to normal. (Cat drinking out of the water-pik reservoir, dogs drinking out of the foot bath, Ice & snow - normal is good!)

Welcome back CJ & Mutt

[Anonymous]

Hmmmmm. There doesn't seem to be any paw marks in the chocolate cheesecake I left out. Guess I'll have to take it back home and eat it myself to celebrate getting my second star before they get taken away.

[Modelcar]

...This January so far has been wild.....Temp right now is 52.5 degrees and our normal is 31 and 15 this time of the year....No snow....heavy clouds this morning. But boy we're going the right direction, towards Spring....Have gained 28 minutes of daylight at sunset and about 3 min. at sunup so far since the min. in December....Wife is afraid the Tulips are going to start coming up in our planters here at the house....Don't think I'll need to mow the yard anyway soon though....Anyway, John Deere needs new tires this Spring before I start that again....But it's good to think about that stuff...ha...
