 1) Click on the graphic to open the Calendar. 2) Once there you can click on any month and even click to the right to go into next year. Once you are in the month that you joined FR you will need to click on the number in the calendar and then an add item screen will come up. 3) In the next box enter your name in the "Calendar Text" field and then click on submit. 4) If any of the screens fail to load simply click on refresh in your browser and that will usually fix it. 5) If all else fails or simply if you want me to do this for you send me an FReepmail and I will gladly do it for you. ~ Mixer |
That was from an era when you could tell the make of a car by just a quick glance.
Nowdays, if one is ever witness and needs to name the type vehicle, you just start with the "A's" and run through the list. :) (except the bug and Hummers)
Heard lots of stories about the frigid conditions up there by the crews.
Also had another co-worker who worked a season in Antartica. Now there was some chilling tales he told.
All the beautiful sunrise and breakfast pics you post are like a 'happy pill" for all us Freepers...and, much appreciated...)
Sounds hellish.. but somehow I bet that you made the best of things
and had fun despite all the privations.. and unimaginable cold..
(Hey, I'm in Houston, snow is something made up by greeting card companies.)
Laboriously banked snow into a large rectangle around the perimeter the length of the whole building.
A slap flare lit thawed the outdoor faucet sufficiently to get water flow, and when filled to the foot-high brim, that froze overnight to make a credible rink!
Checked out skates from Special Services, and in the evening after 7 p.m., (all back porch lights on for illumination and cheer) we'd kick off the children and have Adults Only, some of us (ahem) not too adept and prone to - - well be prone..:)))
Always had vats of hot chocolate to dole out.
Okay - in the Real World is OneUpManShip.
At another eightplex at the end of the playground, an astute copycat brought home his fire truck and cheated - pumped all the water into the rectangle, outdoing us.
It was WAHR, I tell you, so I organized our eightplex and two out front around the court into a Sledding Party!
Convoyed out to the Ski Slope - set up on the grills the never-ceasing vats of hot chocolate, marshmallows, hot dogs, munchies - and everyone who so desired took turns on the dozens of sleds.
As a young mother not wanting to break a leg, I went on the bunny slope on the sled.
Sitting at the bottom, with horror I saw coming down the Main Slope on sleds my two boys - 9 & 10 years old - at @ 70 mph!!!
LOL
No one had described to them how much speed they would build..:))
Fortunately, angels steered the sleds and slowed them without throwing them off.
Or three.. but I could not imagine anyone better suited for it..
She's tough, Mom is.
Durable and resiliant goods, we are ~ ~ ~
LOL
