Good evening, Luv!

*HUGS*

That's not only hilarious, but right on the mark!

Hmmmm. . . for some reason, don't know why, all the women I've ever been involved with are Rubenesque. Their posteriors are not the only thing that's ample! :)

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I hope so too for your sanity.

We had about 4 inches of snow today (white knuckle drive to work), but with temps hovering at freezing the roads are clear. All 4 inches are still on my driveway. The plow guy hasn’t been here yet.

Hopefully soon we will say Spring gas sprung....

That would have been a good one! :)

Howdy! Glad you enjoyed! I’d be careful about how to describe

Awwwwwwwwwww....sharing his food with a kitten.

Good evening, Luv. Too cute!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Don’t forget to set your clocks ahead one hour Saturday night. Daylight Saving starts.

Just when it starts getting light on the morning drive, we get dark again.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...did you sally forth today? Conditions any better than yesterday with road closures?

Have your meds finally knocked out the ickies?

[ConorMacNessa]

I did Sally Forth today - a long day. At the Dr's at 0615 for a B-12 injection, at the office all day, and then another Dr's appointment at 1930. I didn't get home until after 2100.

Must retire now - another early call tomorrow. Good night - will talk to you tomorrow!
