Thanks Kathy!

Good afternoon, Meg, and happy weekend to you as well...((HUGS))

Hope your back is behaving and your sleep cycle is getting its act together.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Happy weekend, beachy...((HUGS))...no time to sneak in before you left. Taking the afternoon off to take my Dad to the doctor, so had to really hustle. Spent the whole morning dealing with either returned W-2s, or those that moved and didn’t let us know.

We might get freezing rain tomorrow. We are in the midst, again, of another heat wave. It’s 1pm and 34 degrees at my house. I HATE THIS WEATHER!!!

I just went shopping for a Kindle book. I love reading on my iPad.

Have a wonderful weekend and don’t get wet.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good afternoon, Arrowhead...((HUGS))...thanks for breakfast.

Any measurable showers? How’s your lake looking these days?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good afternoon, blackie...((HUGS))...you and Barb loving your Kindles?

[Arrowhead1952]

I could not believe the number of callers on KLBJ in Austin who were against the actions of the father. Of course, you would expect that in liberal cities like this.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Rock On!! Our troops are the best.

Love the Rock!! LOL!

Have a great wind in the hair weekend. ((HUGS))

[Arrowhead1952]

((HUGS)) back at you Kathy. The lake is BAD. It is less than 35% of capacity.

[Kathy in Alaska]

March 3rd is the big day.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Well....hopefully time will get it back up to capacity....and by summer.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I absolutely LOVE what the father did. He made his point without matching her awful language, and it is not as if she wasn’t warned. Go Dad!!!

Later tonight I’ll read the thread.

((HUGS)) to both of you for the posts and pings.

[blackie]

Good morning Kathy. Aye, the Kindles work great. :)

{{HUGS}}

[Kathy in Alaska]

Some of those that had comments on the thread seem to have forgotten that the daughter had already been warned about the same problem/behavior....she didn’t learn any lesson the first time. Action was taken the second time.

Hope you are feeling better. It’s above freezing again today. *sigh*

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Kathy!

*HUGS*

Still feeling under the weather today. We're having an Arctic blast this evening - temp at 30 now and dropping rapidly. Winds are picking up - will be a three-dog-night!

Still catching up...

Thanks, unique, for the green guys.

Arrowhead.....#50!!
