Wow...it's dark! //click// That's better!  I'll turn the coffee on, get the juice ready, and set some donuts and fruit out.  I'm on the early shift for the month so I can help with this on a regular basis if needed.  I wonder if there's any cold pizza left over from Saturday....

Canadianpacific-

I have had similar dealings with Hobbytown USA (in general).  I used to be quite heavily involved with RC racing and was Semi-Pro.  To make a long story short...neither I nor my sponsors would shop there if we were given the keys to the store and a blank check.  Most HT USA's I've ever dealt with are the epitome of bad hobbyshops/retail establishments.  Many of the 'store policies' rip the customer off and make for lots of bad blood.

Nothing wrong with a light lunch - sounds pretty good, as a matter of fact.

It's "down" to 46 here, with clear skies.  The next few days are looking a little dicey, though.

Got some of my Christmas decorations down.  Will finish up after lunch, then I have to bake treats for the dogs.  No - they aren't spoiled (well, maybe, but...), the Dal is allergic to wheat, so he gets wheat-free home-made treats.  My dog enjoys them, too.  Recipe available on request.

Looking to be a beautiful day today with a high in the mid 60s.  My focus for the day will be Psalm 35.  CW, glad to hear that you are feeling better.  I get those "sick to my stomach" headaches way too often for my liking.

Well, I finally got Sunday Dinner ready.  Although Sunday Dinner isn't as big as it is usually.  On the warmer bar you will find:  tomato soup, cream of broccoli soup, beef veggie soup, and your choice of grilled cheese sandwiches or roast beef, lettuce and tomato sandwiches.  Think I've got enough of everything to last this afternoon and evening.

Progress report:  stomach is beginning to feel a little bit better, and headache has eased up tremendously.  Thank you all for the prayers and support.

CP...the reducing value of gift cards is pretty common.  It's in the fine print on the card...but it happens more on major card (Visa, MC) gift cards than store cards.  I had a Barnes and Nobel card I got for christmas and immediately misplaced.  When I fianally found it, I thought it would be next to worthless, but they honored the full value.  It was not a choice of the clerk at the store, the 'puter did the figgur'n.

Interestingly, a gift card sale doesnt actually account as a sale until the use of hte gift card.  It is carried as a liability on the books, because it is something they have to deliver in the future.  So I guess the decreasing value is a way of encouraging folks to use them so they can decrease the liabilities on the balance sheet...something accountants (and stockholders) are more worried about than consumers... 

HOw about some whole grain waffles with apple compote and coffee this morning?  Feeling pretty hungry...going into my Eat Like a Bear ready to hibernate mode....

I woke up with a minor headache this morning, so I can sympathize to some degree with Cherokee Woman and anyone else who suffers from them, especially if they are of the migraine type. Anyway CW, I hope you will do a lot better as the day progresses.

It's kind of a gloomy morning here in Sioux Falls, our temperature is currently at 32 degrees. With the wind chill factored in, it actually feels like 19 degrees. The wind here is out of the northwest. I've looked at the weather conditions for Louisville, Kentucky, and it looks like Locomutt, Cherokee Woman and Sarah are getting a lot of rain. Does it ever stop raining in Louisville??

I went to or local Hobby Town store yesterday with a Hobby Town gift card that was given to me some three years ago by a former employer of mine, not knowing that if I did not use it within two years, the Hobby Town Corporation would levy a monthly charge of $2.00 against the card. The people who run this local Hobby Town store are friends of mine, and they told me that there was only $4.00 left on the card. I was forced to shell out an additional $10.29 for the jig saw puzzle that I bought. I think this is a rip-off on the part of Hobby Town in general. I am not finding fault with the owners of this local store. Has anyone else out there run into the same kind of a snag with Hobby Town or other hobby shops??

The jig saw puzzle that I bought is "Spirit of the Mountain" by Nicholas Trudgian, and it depicts a passenger train on the Rio Grande Southern in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado in the late 19th century. Very nice!

Well, I've managed to 'crawl" in this morning.  Not sure how long, though.  The headache is a little better, but still letting me and my stomach know it's there.  Yeah, it's one of those daggone headaches that make you so sick. Sad [:(]  that you almost wish you wereDead [xx(]I really hate getting one of those headaches.

Sarah, thank you so very much for taking over, and making and baking the pizzas for me last night.  

Joe, thank you very much for getting breakfast this morning.  I've got me a big cup of coffee, and I think I might try some pancakes and sausage a little bit later.

Everyone have a great day.

Good afternoon everbody! It's just another cloudy, rainy cold day here. The local Cub Scouts had a "We'll pick up your tree and maybe you can leave a donation for us on the door" fundraiser set for this morning. I was afraid that they would get the envelope with money, but no tree. The wind was gusting up to 40 mph last and the tree went for a roll. I had to claim it from the street and drag it back to the driveway. I jammed it between a street sign that says "No Parking" and the street light.

I've seen trains with CN units pulling cars that look like pellet cars marked cartotex? I forget what I was told they are carrying. Aluminum pellets? maybe. Pretty cool.

I've been keeping many of you in prayer...for healed eyes and newborn eyes and such. 

CW, I am really craving a cheese omelet. Is it possible to get one this late in the day?

Man, you folks are making me jealous with all of your warm weather. Here in Reno, we've been shivering for weeks with temps as low as 5 and highs sometimes no better than 30.  It's been warming up a little and we may actually have a 40 degree day this next week.  I wish some global warming would come my way!!  

Sigh...well, the Hawaiian Pizza sounds like a winner to me!

.....And we are to see some colder temps this coming week here in Indiana too....but really haven't heard of any major precip along with it yet. 

Normally I have my winter tires installed on my pickup about the 1st of Nov. and I still have not done so this season....If I see the pattern changing than I'll take action but so far, not necessary.

Mid 40's today mostly cloudy with a bit of sunshine at times today.  Normal temps for our area now would be:  34 / 19

I don't know if we blame this on global warming but some system is out of place on the earth to be producing this kind of weather over such a wide area.
