Got the coffee on and had to go to bakery and buy white bread and stuff some raisins in it for Modelcar! The things I don't do for you people!

Nora here, Nora gone. Tornado here, tornado gone. Details after coffee - lots of it.

Everyone ok - we were tucked in safe in Lincoln.

More later.

Jim,

Your right, I'm drooling as we speak. I really don't mind squash all that much, but it's not very high on the list of favorite (and first choice for) fruits and vegatables.

I didn't see any reports of Nora's visit. How did it go? Did you take her and them to see norange egines (lol). Is Nora back home now or still out? I had some computer problems over the weekend plus I haven't had much time on msn lately so I have not talked with her in a while. [:(]

Inquiring minds want to know. [;)]

Hi guys! Just wanted to let you know that I'm gonna uninstall MSN Messenger in a few weeks. I might reinstall in in the fall. I'm doing this to keep myself off the computer this summer (I'm on it a lot as it is).

Try using self control..

when you get a car, are you going to wreck it everytime, jsut to keep yourself from driving it?

Not a prophecy you may want to follow for very long.

Since I "opened" the Depot Diner & Coffee Shop I kinda watch the "count" of guests. The Diner has now had slightly over 2,000 customers (views) with many of them being repeat customers. I like repeat customers [;)] [:)] [:D] .

Tonight I am having Cream of Potato Soup. Anyone want to join me for a nice hot bowl, I will be glad to share. [:p]

Another 10 hour shift tonight so I am tired. It will be 330 am in a few minutes so that means I won't be in bed till around 4. [:(] Duchess will get me up by 9 at the latest. [:(] Anyone want a Doberman? Just kidding, she is my "kid" and even though she is very onary I just couldn't get rid of her. She will be 2 in June.

First one in again this morning -

Jim will trade Duchess for duplex neighbor. He has a cell phone that he has to take outside to use. So after we go to bed, he stands on the porch and yells into his cell phone. Now my thinking is why would he need the expense of a cell phone, when we can hear him quite clearly with all the doors and windows closed. Just yell at his callee!

Plus he has a vocabulary that would melt paint on the nearest house! [B)]

Sigh....

Bring on the coffee, bacon, eggs, biscuits and gravy!!

Hey, Mook, if the polka music doesn't work, try some jazz or little kids' songs. If neither work, try an iron skillet!!

Say - there's an idea! Polka music would do it! Except it would drive Mookie and the driver nuts, too!

You and Mookie can have the chocolate cake and eat it too. [8)] [:o)] [:I] [:p] [8D] [:)]

I like white cake with white icing. [:p] Sorry, I just never really was that big a fan of chocolate cake. I like vanilla milk shakes and vanilla ice cream over chocolate too. But to each his own, it takes all kinds to make the world go around.

Every time I come here I misteriously get hungry. I wonder how that happens? Exscuse me, but I have to go get a pint of the Flavor of the day from the Local Culvers now, thanks alot. It's double oreo, which sounds really good.
