Saturday, we left the house with AC, stopped to get a few things and drove in rain with the heater for the next 20 miles. By the time we got to the farm, we had to return to AC, but had the heater on when driving home.

Glad to hear all went well.

Mine was busy but good.

Have a good day.

[beachn4fun]

Good morning dear

((HUGS))

How was your holiday?

[beachn4fun]

LOL

Of course they prefer the paper to the toys. It’s the same with kids, IMO. Give them toys and they’d rather bang on pots and pans or hide in cardboard boxes!

[Arrowhead1952]

Good morning to you too. (((HUGS)))

We had a great Christmas, but it turned sad when we had to put the daughter on the plane back to LA yesterday.

---

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Your requests are being ignored. Often you can get people to pay attention by simply adding a few words to the end of your request, such as "Pick up your socks, dear, or die screaming."

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

You'll need to find a present soon - you're almost out of time. Try to find a good deal on a dibble. Everybody needs a dibble. Some people even like a double dibble, but if you ask me, that's going too far.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

A person of Irish descent will attempt to sell you something you don't especially want, today. Strive to turn the conversation to Tilapia (a type of freshwater fish) -- you'll find it's his new hobby.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Excellent day to make strange mouth noises, particularly in a crowded elevator.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Someone will try to give you an egg salad sandwich today. Refuse them. Be polite, yet firm.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Leek soup day, today. Despite your recent tendency towards shoplifting vegetables, I highly recommend you buy a leek, not take one.

Libra (September 22 - October 22)

Today you will buy a package of those birthday-party confetti-blaster thingies, and will rig booby traps for several of your friends. One of them will die of a heart-attack, due to the surprise, and you'll be plagued with horrible undying guilt for the rest of your life. Plus, you will run out of toothpaste, today.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Soon you will start work on a mystery novel, "The Curse Of The Mummy's Nose", told from the point of view of your cat, Erik.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Today you will get a wrong number phone call. See how long you can keep them on the line before they figure it out. Extra points if you can get them to tell you their height and weight!

Capricorn (December 22 - January 20)

Today you'll become incensed at the thought that you missed out on all the fun during the 60's and 70's, and will change your name to "Sunflower" in protest.

Aquarius (January 21 - February 18)

This will be a very happy week for you. And you know what they've been saying about that for thousands of years, don't you? "Happy Good! Me Like Happy!"

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

You will be on your way downtown today, when you will be struck by an odd thought. Fortunately it will bounce harmlessly off you.

Welcome to the Canteen, DYngbld....thanks for sharing your Boot Camp Christmas...getting wisdom teeth pulled can't have been a whole lot of fun. And thank you for your service to our country.

Good afternoon, Meg....give yourself a couple more days of holiday spirit. The paperwork and cleaning will still be there.

[HiJinx]

like from 3:00-9:00 EST).

Sounds like get-togethers at my son's in-laws. They're still living in Camelot - makes for interesting after-dinner conversations!

[HiJinx]

Today you will get a wrong number phone call. See how long you can keep them on the line before they figure it out. Extra points if you can get them to tell you their height and weight!

Well, that was easy. I just told the caller I was a college student doing my thesis on actuarial surveys and needed her personal information to validate my conclusions. In addition to telling me that she is 5'6" and 115 pounds, the young lady gave me her birthdate, age, measurements, likes and dislikes, and her phone number.

I passed it all to my son, who has a date with her next Friday night.

[HiJinx]

-12? It was a balmy 24 degrees when we left to see the kids Saturday morning. It feels much warmer today.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good aternoon, beachy. Happy cleaning. It was -12 at my house this morning. ((HUGS))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oops...that should be AFTERNOON!
