Thanks for reporting in, Sweetie. Good News that the infection is receding.

I just got home. Drove 45 miles to get here. About every mile and a half there was a bloody mess on the highway. Lots of deer killed tonite out there. Season doesn't ope for a couple of weeks, yet.

I had to brake 3 times during the trip,,, each time slowing for an indecisive one who couldn't decide whether or not to chance a trip across the road.

I hope you have a restful night.

I'll have nightmares... Jump... damn you, stupid deer... Jump...

I'm going to call it another night.

God bless us all, each and every one.

I don't know if this works or if it's in the urban legend category but I've heard that blinking one's headlights, from low beams to high, rapidly and repeatedly, will make deer 'freeze' rather than suddenly deciding to dart out in front of the car.

We hit a deer once (or, more accurately, she hit us) and we didn't hear this little trick until later. Thankfully, since then we haven't had an opportunity to test it out. Have seen plenty of deer but none that seemed on the verge of dashing out right in front of the car. I did try it out with a bunny rabbit that was in the back yard one night when I got home and it did 'freeze' while I was flicking the lights so maybe there's something to the story. It's worth trying if one can have the presence of mind and the time to do it.

Glad you're recovering. I guess all that propping is paying off so keep it up as much as possible ... :-)

[kayak]

Am praying for you to have one of those normal days you write about.

*hugs* and prayers!

Freeping is better this early

[kassie]

Good morning.

Nice cool morning here, 57.

[DollyCali]

Freeping is better this early

primarily it is better if you enjoy talking to yourself!

I was doing catchup on another LONG thread at 3ish.. 7 posts from me!

Monring ! Back from shopping. No other shopper in store.

[kassie]

Good morning.

Best time to get the freshest fruits and vegetables.

[lysie]

Good morning. About 2 inches of *s* on the ground.

[Miss Marple]

This morning it is 35 here! I believe winter is on the way.

[lysie]

Good morning, Dolly.

[DollyCali]

We had our first frost last night Kassie.. I miss the weather from my many years of living in the south.

Actually I just bought chicken. I cook meat less than I watch TV... But this is for relatives etc. For some reason Tofu doesn't strike a happy chord with the elderly invalid relatives

But the fruits/veggies all looked great.(as did the bakery!!!!) I did all other shopping yesterday at another store.

[DollyCali]

last night I had the news on looking to see if there was any war news & caught the weather.. saw that you (and AFhys) were going to possibly get some "white stuff"

Guess I better get out my cross country skis,boots, etc.

drat. But the bike & kayak will still get use for entire winter

[kassie]

Oh brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I am not looking forward to our trip to KS on Thursday of this week.

Our A/C came on yesterday afternoon and evening.We have it set at 80. I haven't unpacked our winter clothes yet. I'm going to have to dig them out to take with us.

[lysie]

The first snow is always the worse. People forget how to drive in it. Once I get acclimated...I'm all set for the season.

[Miss Marple]

This is my husband's favorite time of year...ANTICIPATING the first snowstorm and stocking up on food and supplies.

Mr. Marple loves snow. Nothing makes him more jolly than snow falling in large quantities.

[kassie]

As tired as I am of this humidity/heat, I'd never be ready for bone chilling cold weather.

I do fondly remember the last Christmas we spent in KS. Right after we had opened our presents, we had a beautiful snow storm. Everything was decorated with huge snow flakes. It was just beautiful.

In Virginia we got about 12 inches of snow. It snowed at midnight and everyone was out playing in it. Dusty and the dogs did not remember snow from earlier years.

It stayed for a good week. We lived in a forest and the sun just couldn't peek through the limbs and branches to melt it.

[kassie]

LOL, my little granddaughters would wonder if he was Christmas.

They call Santa, Christmas. They know he's jolly all the time.
