Evening Kathy and thanks for tonight’s Canteen!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))

More excitement today?

I’m off to get my hair cut, and then home to read birthday cards to my Mom....91 today. Be back later.

[PROCON]

Woo-Hoo, I got #22!

[PROCON]

dang it, can't even get a #22...

[radu]

Glad the day’s going well.
Sounds like you’ll be going full steam ahead the next few days. Hope you took it easy today to be rested and ready to go!

[luvie]

LOL! Looks like you’re timing is off. Time for a tuneup! :)

[radu]

ROTFLMAO!!!

Well, other than that, how ya doin’, PRO?
Missed ya last night. It was quiet mighty around here.

[PROCON]

Since the weather has been getting a little nicer, I've been talking more to the neighbors.

One guy came over yesterday and today and talked my ear off until I finally kicked him out awhile ago, LOL

It's tough being popular :-)

[left that other site]

Happy Birthday to your Mom!

Not much today happening...I overslept a bit, took an online IQ Test and got EVERY ANSWER CORRECT, and was told I have an IQ of 145.

I usually score high, but never like that!

(usually 130-140, depending on the test and how many beers I’ve had)

The funny thing is...if I’m so smart, how come I’m not RICH? :-)

[luvie]

Yeah...what she said! Where WERE you! Huh? :)

[The Mayor]

Thank you Kathy! Winter is back

[PROCON]

LOL, thanks a lot LUV!

BTW LUV, since you're in retail, what's the big Valentine's Day gift men are seeking?

Jewelry, flowers, candy, lingerie....other?

How about women, do gals buy for their sweethearts?

[radu]

Lucky you, having nice weather to enjoy. Sounds like you aren’t the only one taking advantage of it. LOL

We have another week of YUCK, then it’s supposed to warm up nicely.

[luvie]

Well, I'm in the jewelry business. Men buy anything with hearts and the women buy something manly. We have some nice leather bracelets, keychains, rings, etc.

BTW...have you heard THIS--From Refuge in OR?

Scary stuff!

[PROCON]

Spring is only about 5 weeks away! I really enjoy seeing everything blossom again and the temps warming up.

How are the kittehs treating you tonight?

[PROCON]

Wow, that is scary stuff. WTF on the twitter page? Happening so fast!

I don't trust my government...

[luvie]

I’m afraid for those poor people. This is a last stand for them, I’m thinking.

The chat is going by at the speed of light.

[radu]

We’re hoping for an early Spring this year. The past two Springs were quite late.
There’s one daffodil blooming outside the kitchen window now and it reeeeeeeeally puts me in the mood for more color.

Kittehs are behaving, for a change. Well, all except Lily. She’s always a brat. LOL

[radu]

I’ve been following it on another thread.
Holding my breath!

[luvie]

Scary stuff.
