Not really shut up. We of course leave the furnace set at about 62 and don't shut the water off or winterize it. We have to be going up to rake leaves although we do have the perennials all cut back. Up to our hineys in leaves here too. Be glad when the snow flies and yard work is done.

They only found out about the return of cancer about a month ago. I do want Diane to know how well thought of he was by the eBay people.
Yes my Bill and I are ok. Old and crabby. LOL

Bill (itsagas) passed away at 12:05. He was a brilliant guy, witty and an all around good fellah. I hope you all will keep his wife Diane in your thoughts.

Of course we have to go up and mow and Bill and SIL put in a little dock to make it easier to get on the Waverunner. Easier for them, I only went on it once and darn near had a stroke.
I went up last week as some of the trim on the house needed a fresh coat of paint. Wondering when that thing called leisure kicks in?

Shelly no Fran wasn't ill but she did have knee replacements, lost a huge amount of weight and is just fine. Hi Max. Went up to the lake Fri and Sat to mow and clean windows. Yeah, yard work getting caught up but it's getting much harder for us old crocks to take care of two houses an hour and forty five minutes apart. LOL. Of course the kids think that since we're retired we have all the time in the world.
Toad posts all the time on FB about all his finds. I think his house must look like Treasure Hoarders.
I did in fact yesterday morning find the FIND of a lifetime. Hit an estate sale in southern Michigan and found THIS: http://www.bonanza.com/listings/Burgess-Leigh-Flow-Blue-Platter-Non-Pareil-Pattern-Ca-1891/4335442 I am still in total shock.

The mail truck was parked in a driveway but not into it but parallel to the road. He just shot out into Bill's lane. Thank God Bill had slowed down because he saw the car with the flashing lights.

Did 2,000 worth of damage. The mail guy got out ranting, raving and going "postal!" The police came and told the mail guy off saying they were supposed to obey the rules of the road like any driver. Talk about fantastic luck, behind the mail truck was a car with a flashing light containing a POSTAL INSPECTOR who sided with DH. LOL so there is a damage claim to come out of the P.O. budget.

I cannot however get along without the products of companies that produce oil, food, materials to build houses, and so on and so forth. I can also get along without the likes of Gore and Michael Moore ranting about Global warming while raking in millions, and telling us about our evil "carbon footprint." BTW poor Al, it's so cold at his mansion in TN that he had to purchase another house in a more temperate climate. http://www.globalwarminghoax.com/news.php?extend.135
On the other hand if there is global warming I am most grateful because it's only going down to 17 below zero F here instead of the 20 below predicted.

My question to him is "Why is ok for Beyonce to make 50 million and not ok for the CEO who has 3,000 employees and earns 100 million in profits to make 5 million?"

Gordon we didn't inject politics into it. That was up to you.
HMMMM Michael Moore? He is a raving Liberal who is a big proponent of share the wealth, demonizes the wealthy and generally spews his moronic views.
Perhaps you would be interested in the wonderful Michale Moore and his digs in Michigan. Looks to me like he doesn't share much of his substantial wealth and certainly doesn't share his groceries.

Beg to differ Gordon. Record warmth there and record cold here. Of course Algore keeps perpetuating the myth. He's made many millions of dollars.

Now I know we can both find sites to back up our opinions but many leading atmospheric scientists have said that it has slowly reversed. The temperatures have fluctuated many times over the millenia.

Just came from the supermarket and you'd think people around here had never seen snow. Not only Saturday, shopping day for many but blizzard conditions and they suddenly need bread and milk.

Six inches of snow on the ground now and starting tonight there will be 8-10 inches more. Record cold next week and they are saying Tuesday morning could approach 20 below zero and that's Fahrenheit. High winds will cause blizzard conditions.
I will be contacting Algore to come and shovel our driveway.

I love those big sale sites and click on them with the wild hope that just maybe I have one in the back of a cupboard. Never happens.

That's where the little bouquets called nosegays originated. Well but there is no excuse these days. We have trash bags, trashmen picking up the stuff, indoor plumbing and such.

Some of the cities we have walked are unreal. Cairo and Athens looked like there was a garbage collectors strike. Rome, yeah kinda bad also London. At least Athens and London had some clean areas. Prolly where the tourists go so they try to keep it clean. The tourist spots in Rome also fairly clean but OMG why do young people think they need to put graffiti on everything?
Will say Sydney was rather clean Gordon. Keflavik, Iceland was pristine clean.
In the US we saw glas IV bottles and plastic bags laying on the beach. Didn't think those were even used anymore. Red Rocks outdoor theater in Colorado had hypodermic needles laying all over. Prolly from a rock concert. It us sad how many brainless half wits there are mucking up the planet.

We don't take Teddy to the doggie park anymore. Afrais he'll pick something up and the fact that he found out that if he hung out at the picnic tables where the humans sit that he gets petted, stroked, fawned over and told he's beautiful.

Yesterday was shot and check up day for calico Daphne. We adopted her from the animal hospital. The doctor who we adopted her from actually saved her life.
