Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

THANK YOU
for your service!

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

Ready to catch your breath? Maybe get a little sleep tonight? Must have been a rough week so far.

[radu]

Howdy, PRO.

Still waitin’ for you to share some of your nice weather with us down here. LOL! Been right chilly this week. Feels more like fall than spring.

[radu]

Howdy, LUV.

I need to find out where you “shop”. You find some of the coolest graphics. This one melts my heart.

[luvie]

Hi! Thank you. I “stole” them from other people. LOL! Some I even found on Facebook or Twitter. They come in handy sometimes! LOL!

[PROCON]

Hiya radu!

Actually here the past few days it's been cold and rainy.

Son's over tonight hanging out and we had dinner a bit ago before I kick him out 'cuz of my early morning.

I just bought a new computer and it arrived today, a desktop this time, my 5 year old laptop, despite my weekly maintenance was getting slow, so I bought a refurbished DELL desktop with a 22" monitor and all the bells and whistles for under $200.

Still getting used to it but it is MUCH faster and easier to see without my reading glasses, LOL!

The kittehs behavin'?

[radu]

Whatever works! LOL! I’d “steal” ‘em too.
But I won’t go to FB or Twitter to get them. some sites, I just stay away from.

Still comfy down your way? It was supposed to be warm here but it barely broke 60 degrees. Weatherfolks blew it big time.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hope the weather cooperates so you can get your inspection sticker on time.

[radu]

We had the cold and rainy today but it’s been sunny the past couple of days. Just cool with right chilly nights.

They keep saying we have a warm-up coming but there are also a lot of rainy days in the 7-day forecast.

Sounds like you got a great deal on your new computer! Nice to have one that’s nice and fast, and that monitor sounds soooooo nice. Mine’s a little 17 incher but a larger one won’t fit in the roll top desk.

The kittehs are surprisingly quiet this evening. Skeers me ‘cause I feel they’re up to no good shortly. LOL! The full moon’s coming up this weekend so we’ll take any quiet we can get for now. :-)

[luvie]

It was in the 80s here. Kind of warm but not awful. I got some housework done and barely broke a sweat. LOL! Of course I had the AC and/or the fan going, too.

60 doesn’t sound bad to me. I sleep sooooo much better when it’s cool! But I know you are darn ready for some warm even though it does get kind of steamy there when it warms up. I suppose you do get used to it. You have gorgeous plants and flowers because of it, which is a bonus. :)

[radu]

80s with your dry air doesn’t sound too bad. That’s what they’d initially said we’d have today but we weren’t close.
60s IS good for sleeping but our lows have been around 50 or cooler. Cool enough to turn on the heater just enough to knock the chill out.

They SAY we’ll be around 90 this Saturday which will make it a bit warm in the museum. The large room has AC but the smaller room doesn’t, and that’s where I spend most of the time.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh my goodness!!!! What a wonderful tribute to General Flynn...I keep waiting for good things to happen to him and his family for all the sacrifices they’ve made for our country. He has been “treated” so very, very badly.

Evening, Kathy! At last, spring has sprung!
