Paula, please, seriously consider finding a dentist.
As to seat numbers--for use in a triple decker cattle car (look how high the numbers are)?
Tom, porter or redcap badge numbers? They do look as though they would fit on a cap. I queried you since you have evinced a liking for the road my father worked for. Since I grew up in a town served by the Southern, and my first trips that I had anything to do with the planning thereof were on the Southern, I have had a strong liking for that road, but I, of course, am not familiar with all of the Southern's practices and usages.

Hmmmm. Baggage tags? Seems like I've seen some that looked something like that.
CW - Time for a visit to one kind of doctor or the other. You might have a dental problem, or it could be a sign of something more significant. Better safe than sorry.

Afternoon all.
I don’t understand some of the kids these day’s. I’m just a kid who stays out of trouble, and then these know-it-all kids get into these huge fist fights out to kill one another for petty little reasons. I saw one of these huge fist fights today at the bus stop. Dad had to go out and stop them. The would have killed one another. There were also little kids around watching. I’d like to know why society can’t be less violent these days.
Humph…

In my psychology course at Creighton, we've taken a look at several studies that indicate that violence on TV and video games plays a large role in shaping the tendencies of kids these days. If a kid watches a lot of violent TV shows, or plays violent video games, he will be more likely to show signs of violence. There have been enough studies that support this correlation that the majority of psychologists accept it as fact. The situation probably won't change much until we find a way to keep kids (young kids in particular) away from this kind of stuff.

Good Tuesday morning, everyone. I hope you all had a very good evening last night. All three of us here at home, took a hand at sweeping/shoveling the snow yesterday afternoon: I started the ball rolling, by sweeping the front porch and steps; then Walt went out, and swept the snow off the awning, and reswept the porch steps. Sarah finished by doing the shoveling the sidewalks. I went out in the yard, and measured the snow: center of front yard, 4 & 3/4 inches, south area of front yard, 4 inches and did not make it to the back yard to measure out there. If I went out there, that total would have been a combined total w/the other snows we've gotten lateley, as nothing has melted back there.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are freshly made and ready to go.
On the serving station this morning: bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, sausage patties & links, oatmeal, grits, toast (dry, buttered and french), scrambled eggs, fried taters, made from scratch buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy.
Johnny, Larry and others, as soon as this snow clears up some, where I can get the two blocks west to my doctor, I'll make an appointment, and also find a dentist.
Everyone enjoy your morning, keep safe and take care.
good morning
happy "Fat" Tuesday.we have a little bit of snow but matt is on time.heard they were playing bumper cars on I-71 in Cincinnati yesterday.Justin some kids are not raised with any manners.There was a time when young men were swearing at each other to be cool in a family restaurant.Making people uncomfortable.I went over and kindy reminded them that although I am guilty of using swear words at times,this ain't the time nor the place.It was quiet the rest of the time and they apologized to the family beside them.Cw thanks for breakfast.Time for a nap.

Had coffee. Had breakfast. Now need to go work off my rant plowing fields...
Mornin. 30 and clear in Carolina, headed for 46 and sunny. Joe, what you did in the restaurant doesn't always work. The same thing happened locally a few years ago, and a minister in the restaurant did what you did. When the punks were through with him, he had to go to the emergency room! Life is cheap nowadays and people are dying or being assaulted over trivial things. Last week, gunshots were fired after a local basketball game. Schools are war zones and parents object to any kind of discipline being used on their darlings. End of soapbox, no more, out
Tom, it is indeed very sad these days that a lot of people seem to be giving no thought whatsover to properly raising their children and instructing them about good behavior. I read a lot of news stories on the internet that are indeed very disturbing to me.
13 degrees here in Gillette, Wyoming, it is supposed to get up to 40 here this afternoon. Not much snow here in this community, and my sister and her husband told me that they never get very much. I think we will be headed into Sheridan, in the Bighorn Mountains on Thursday to visit my neice and her husband.
CW, you mentioned that you need to find a dentist. I will be going back to my sister's dentist later this morning for a full panoramic ex-ray of both upper and lower sets of my teeth, these ex-rays will then be taken to the oral surgeon who will extract the one bad tooth that I have. And if I have any need for any further work, I can take the ex-rays to my own dentist in Sioux Falls.
A bright an balmy 25 here in the northwoods of NY, with just a hint of snow flurries.
I've got to sit in on an interview this afternoon, but for the morning, I think some more decluttering is on the agenda. Got one cupboard in particular whose contents may mostly be headed for the trash.
Off to the post office with the Dal (he expects the daily walks...
.....Light snow continues....Just looked at my unofficial records here and I note we've had snow cover now since Feb. 6th. No sign yet of let up of these weather systems crossing west to east, but fortunately, the center of them seems to still be a on a path going south of us....just on the fringe of many of them. But, if it continues as it is now, we'll no doubt add another 2" or so today.....Temps. now in the mid 20's....
Good stuff continues though....We've gained 1.5 hrs. of daylight now since we hit the low spot.
They are able to keep county and addition roads and streets open, but with it staying cold, the hard packed layer of snow / ice on the streets assures us we must drive defensively and carefully when driving locally.

Good afternoon, folks. We did not have Produce again this week. There hasn't been anyone over at the Center since Sunday, so no snow has been cleared off the steps and ramp. The Center's director lives across the river in Indiana, so imagine he is snowed in over there. Our high today is to be around 28 degrees, currently in the mid 20s at 12:21 p.m. and there's a very brisk breeze blowing around outside.
For the rest of the afternoon and tonight, I've made the following, and put the pots on the serving station:
1. Vegetable beef soup w/fresh baked cornbread (or you can have crackers, if you want
2. Chili: mild, medium and 2 alarm hot. All three are distinctly labled , so you'll know which you are getting.
There's also some grilled cheese sandwiches, PB&J, tuna and ham w/cheese
Mookie, do you still have grandson with you?
I know what part of my toothache problem is: the filling has come out of that bottom left tooth, and that's what is causing the aching. So far, no swelling in my jaw, and am keeping tabs on it.
Think I'll go dig out my big winter coat, put on some more layers of clothing, and take Winter, the dog, out for a walk around the front and side yard.
Everyone enjoy your meal, have a good afternoon, keep warm, safe and take care.
P.S. Ray, thanks for the postcard from Wyoming. It arrived in today's mail.
Soup & cornbread is always a winner. Sorry about your toothache. I hate dentists. That is why I have to wear falsies now.

We've had at least an inch of snow on the ground since December 8th in Omaha, including a stretch of over 20 days with more than a foot on the ground. We've got you beat!
I'm also quite pleased with the increasing daylight. The evenings aren't as dreary and depressing anymore. I'm looking forward to the start of daylight savings time in March.
I'm liking the longer days, too.
I was checking around on-line to see if I could find a balance board for my Wii. Talk about scarce! A local store showed up has having them in stock, so I made a flying trip into town, but, alas, they had none.
Rumor has it that a newer version will be coming out, so no one wants to stock the old one.
afternoon
well we had some sun this afternoon that helped melt the bit of snow from this morning.We might get some more from lake michigan yet.doing chores and waiting to see what homework matt has to do when he comes home.Cw chili and cornbread will do for supper tonight.

Evening, all. Everything has been replaced on the serving station: soup, cornbread, chilis and sandwiches.
For dessert tonight, you have: yellow cake w/chocolate icing, chocolate fudge brownies w/English walnuts chopped up in them, w/your choice of whipped cream or ice cream to go with the brownies or cake.
Bob, in order for me to get dentures, I'm going to have to have some serious work done on my mouth. My upper gum is deteriotating, so that would have to be built back up, along with whatever else the dentist would need to do. So, I'm gonna have to save up for that. A friend of mine just had that done, and it is costing her close to $2,000.00,plus, even with her health insurance.
Everyone have a good evening, stay warm, keep safe and take care.
Good Wednesday morning, everyone. I hope you all had a very enjoyable evening. And, I hope you all have a very good day today.
Coffee, juices, and the other assorted morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. There's even some strawberry milk this morning, along with chocolate milk.
On the serving station this morning: bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, pork sausage, scrambled eggs, hash brown taters, buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy.
Mookie, here's your coffee mug, ready to go.
Everyone have a good morning, enjoy and take care.
bidzy, bidzy, bidzy......
Good morning. 37 and bright sunshine in Carolina. Not a whole lot to report today. Everybody stay safe and warm
......Something different...., It's not snowing. Very bright and off and on sunshine. Temp has actually risen to the 30's....! Wow...haven't seen that for a while.
You've got that right, Quinton! We currently have a temp of 31.8 degrees on our outdoor thermometer, with some moderate sunshine. Supposed to be very mild tomorrow, and calm.
For lunch today, there's some chili (mild and medium) left from last night, and I've also fixed some open-face roast beef sandwiches w/mashed taters, gravy, beans, corn and tossed salad.
Well, the electrician finally got out, and we now have a working ceiling light in our bedroom. But there's a part for the fan that has rotted away. So in the spring, before we can turn on the ceiling fan, we'll have to take that one down, and put up a new one. (Glad we happen to have one on hand, never been out of the box!!)
Everyone have a good afternoon, and take care of yourselves. And do I have any requests for supper tonight? (I was kind of leaning towards Chinese for tonight, but want your all's input, please. Whatever you all want, is what I'll fix.
Fried Rice, Lo Mein, Chow Mein, Sweet & Sour Pork. Pot Stickers, Crab Rangoon, Won Ton Soup? I can get all that?
Interesting day today.We had snizzle this afternoon outside when I got the mail.Matt had a good day at school today.Local paper says city has gotten a grant to study lowering the pavement of the clinton st viaduct.There was also an editorial comment in the paper as well already.We will see what happens.Cw thanks for supper.Be sure you and Walt have proper support for the ceiling fan before installing.They showed a video of what could happen at the local home store.matt said hey dad watch this.
