You'll have the hang of it in no time.
Start with simple stuff,

Or Google.

Not much going on here. I did take Bo to the vet yesterday for his monthly round of flea repellent.
Watching for fire danger today. Much of Oklahoma is under a Fire Weather Watch. Expecting winds to gust to near 40 in Northern OK today.We'll see what happens.

To: beachn4fun
Kilts are not native to Scotland. They originated in France. Really?????
Good morning/afternoon, beachy...((HUGS)) Another week survived with checks printed yesterday. Of course the payroll can't be posted because something is stuck in the system. This is getting to be a regular problem. *sigh*
Freezing rain yesterday afternoon, snow later in the day. REALLY snowing on the way to work, and one report says 2-5 inches of snow, another says LOTS OF FREEZING RAIN!
The Pacific Ocean is serving up really warm stuff and making getting around hazardous.
Have a wonderful Thursday.

Hiya Ma (((HUGS))
Passing through on my way out the door.
Look, you can keep the snow and cold, thank you very much. I freaked this morning when I saw some flurries. But the sun came out and we’re all good.
I’m hoping we have some Scots visitors at the Canteen who can verify the kilt business. I will do some googling later when I post the thread.
Have a wonderful afternoon and evening, and try not to think about “of course the payroll can’t be posted...stuck in the system. This is getting to be a regular problem.”
