You got that right, Joe. And I DO HAVE PLENTY of chili left.

Although, at least thru Friday, all wer're supposed to have is
RAIN, RAIN, RAIN. Went to Kroger awhile ago, and you'd
think people were getting ready to be snowed in. It was so
crowded in there, as the saying goes, "you couldn't shake people
with a stick." Maybe they're thinking we'll get a FLOOD
again, like back in 1994, when it started raining on 1/30 and didn't
stop for about two weeks.

Cw
need to save some of the chili might need it for ice melt.
stay safe

No, we won't get wet over it. But will check out the Yellow Pages and see what
restaurants I see listed around corner of M. Ali and Chestnut. Thanks for the
info.

Lunch sounds perfect. I'll need something to keep me warm today and tomorrow. I was in Indy Sunday and Monday so I know what you mean when you say its STILL raining. It did nothing but the whole time we were there.
Not a lot in the way of freezing rain last night at the house. Guess its all waiting for tonight and tomorrow. Time to get the snowblower out of the garage.[xx(]

I have a couple of dinner requests: Chicken and noodle soup with some kind of bread or dumplings(any way is fine, dumplings just sound yummy)

Okay gotta go stock up on ice melt.

Mike, we do have chicken noodle soup, with veggies in it, and I'll fix up a batch of
chicken and dumplings.[C=:-)][dinner]

Morning all! Well, here in Lou., KY we are STILL getting rain. Bad news is:
come Thursday, our high will only be in the low 40's. BUMMER.[sigh]

And Mookie, your wish is my command: hot chocolate cake right out
of the oven coming your way.

Breakfast will be: oatmeal, toast, and anyone who wants it: turkey bacon,
scrambled eggs, or biscuits and sausage gravy and sausage patties.

Lunch: chili, vegetable soup, baked potatoes, and leftover
meatloaf, fresh mashed potatoes, and green beans.

Supper: How about beef noodles and sucatash (lima beans w/corn)?
Mookie, do you, by chance, have any other suggestions for supper for
me?

CW - watercress on a plate, no dressing. You feed these people way too well and if you look closely, the diner is starting to tip slightly to the west! Let them eat cake - just not mine!

Moo

Mookie, you've got your watercress, no dressing. Maybe I'll check with owner
and see about just serving sandwiches and desserts for awhile. Think Jim
(jhhtrainsplanes) will go for that[?][;)] But I think I'd better leave the breakfast
menu alone, for right now.

^~^ - sniff......

Chocolate Cake in the oven......oh boy, oh boy! Nuts to breakfast - just a bowl of fresh chocolate cake and milk poured over it.....kitty heaven!

You know - I am not the smartest whatever in the universe, but in our town of 250K, at least 240K must know each other, cuz they are all on the phones with each other! Amazing! Maybe that is why we had an ice storm and the mall south of town had several police officers just dividing up the "accidents" into bunches! Guess I should start up Driver's Body Shop (Mookie's didn't sound quite right!)

Andrew! Skater's Waltz please!

Jim, thanks for the EARLY birthday wish: my birthday is actually on May 5th.
Locomutt just had a birthday on Nov. 8th. (54 Yrs.)

Cunningham's is still open. After the fire, they moved from 5th & York to
4th St. somwhere. We're still wondering about the steakhouse. Which
steakhouse on 4th are you talking about?

That's a changing climate for you Andrew....greater extremes and more variation. Not just warmer temperatures.

Hmmm. someone must have hid Mookie's apron! Cause I looked for all
our aprons so I could send them to the laundry service. I just thought
that maybe she took it home with her! [:I]

Today's breakfast is on the light side: oatmeal and toast. After all, we
do have to start reducing ourselves for the new year: but that doesn't
mean I'm totally changing the way I cook!

To Joe: That birthday hint wouldn't accidentally be a 70th birthday/
anniversary rail car, would it?

Lunch menu: light sandwiches such as tuna salad sandwiches,
turkey, roast beef, etc. with garden salads.

Supper menu: Meat loaf, mashed potatoes w/gravy, green beans and salad or
cole slaw.

[JoeKoh]

yes mookie glad to have you back. everything is where you left it. including the mustard stain on your apron.
stay safe
Joe

[Mookie]

Ta Da! I am back! ^~^

Thank goodness that is all over! One more day at home and I would have started pulling out my fur!

The weather was so nice all the time I was off, then I woke up this morning to an ice storm. The streets are just glass! So take heed if you are east of me - get out your ice skates and studs for your shoes!

My desk is a disaster, so ate breakfast at home and will only peek in for a few days! May get something to go - I am so thrilled to be back at work!!!! Good coffee, good friends and good reading material! And the work is fun, too!

Happy Happy

Mookie! [:D]

(Love how the local weatherman's estimate has jumped from inches to feet! Warnings are up already for eastern CO and western KS on Tuesday...wonder if UP will call out the rotary this year for Limon, CO to Salina, KS?)

Most of what I heard (I didn't run on any of the accidents) indicated bumps and bruises, if any injuries at all, although there was one mention of a broken collarbone. Temperature is in the 40's right now, with the continued possibility of some rain, but it won't be freezing.

On top of the icy roads, two of our three hospitals were on diversion (not taking patients) during the onslaught.

All peaceful now....

We got yesterday's midwest weather here in northern New York this morning. Only it was all ice. Roads were ice skating rinks, as far too many motorists have discovered on their arrival in a ditch, on their roof, etc. Several injury accidents, and part of the interstate is closed...

Writing this from the ambulance squad, standing by for further responses....

NOT a very encouriging situation is it?
I hope the injuries were minimal.
None at all,would be better.
