A good day, thanks! I had a follow-up with my urologist this morning - all is well with the nether plumbing.

There's a dirty rumor that we're going to have a Winter Storm in the next few days. A point of possible interest - March 11, 1991 we had an absolute blizzard in the Washington/Baltimore area.

Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...Denver first? Then where?

Is it still raining?

[radu]

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,
THANK YOU
for your service!

[Kathy in Alaska]

I hope it’s nice for the St Patrick’s Day Parade.

Daylight saving (ick) and St Paddy’s all in one week.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu....back to chat in a bit. I’m off for chocolate milk and then home.

[ConorMacNessa]

Daylight Savings Time is a fiction designed to torture the honest working men and women of America.

Legalized jet-lag imposed upon the non-traveler.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

I’ll be right here when you get home.

[radu]

Howdy, PRO.

Have you recuperated from the weekend yet? :-)

Any warm-up in the near future? We had a nice day with sunshine and decent temps. Tomorrow will be nicer, then we have wintry weather moving in for the weekend. Weather whiplash is wearing us out!

[radu]

Howdy do, Conor. *Hugz*

Was it nice enough to get out to admire new blooms around the yard today?

[radu]

Remember them...
...they are ALL heroes!

They are indeed!

Hope you had a good day. Still choking on smoke?

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Radu!

*HUGS*

A bright day today - still high winds here. The daffodils are blooming - the roses are in leaf. All is well with the World.

[PROCON]

Hiya radu!

Warm-ups are 'spose to happen tomorrow, we'll see.

I did all my shopping errands today, food and stuff.

Still playing our video game, son should be by later this week to join in the fun.

Kittehs behavin'?

[radu]

Glad you had a pretty day. It’s a shame the winds are still bowing strong though. Takes a little of the fun out of being outside.

Our roses aren’t I leaf yet which is odd since everything else seems to be popping out. Probably a good thing for them since we have a chance of a wintry mix overnight Friday, I believe it is.

[ConorMacNessa]

We've had hig winds for a while - haven't been able to fly our Colors.
