The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

[betty rose]

I hope they don't shut your power down. How are you going to play on Chit Chat with your buddies here, if you don't have power?

I've thought about that too. We lose our power often in the winter, if we have really bad storms. We lost our power one year for three days, during a blizzard. It got mighty cold in the house, we weren't allowed to have a real wood burning fireplace. Ours are electric with an electric starter. Doesn't do you any good in a power outage. They have a heater in them, but won't work in this situation.

My dog was staring at the kitchen wall last night. It's not a new wall, but he was staring at it. Every now and then, he'd look back at us at the kitchen table, and then he'd stare at the wall again. I swear there was nothing on the wall.

That's so funny!

Yah, that's fine, but I'd also just wish they'd let these kids be kids, and enjoy some cake and ice cream. Next thing you know, they'll ban them from smiling while on school property . . . oh, I hate this stuff. And you know what? I had 8 years of nuns in school, and even they seem lightweight compared to some the rules these kids have to follow.

I agree, just trying to put a positive spin on the crazy rules today. We never had to think about what we brought to school. I wonder why no one, in my elementary years had food restrictions.

Get rest Betty! And no need to apologize! We all know that you're just being über-considerate of Goofy's feelings. That's one of the qualities I like best about you - you're always thinking about how others feel. xoxo

Thanks, for understanding my feelings. xoxo

@brb1006, here's the clip. Enjoy!

That was a great clip.

 

[betty rose]

Wow! We've just heard from Mr. Bets, everyone!! WELCOME to Chit Chat, Mr. Bets!!

Hubby loved this!

 

[betty rose]

Cage accessories not included.
Probably best that way for @MR FERRET...

I was thinking @MR FERRET needed a better security system, you know he would find a way out of that cage; as he is so creative. Maybe barbed wire, like they use in prison.

54 tomorrow over here.

Brrr.

 

[betty rose]

We are stuck in the low 60's, cloudy and high winds. Right now they are whistling like they do during a snow storm making it feel very chilly. I'm not ready for this yet. Well ever.

Right there with you Gabe. I wish now, that hubby had gotten transferred to Florida, instead of Colorado. Pretty state, just not enough summer.

 

[betty rose]

As far as I know, he's coming home either tomorrow or Saturday.
I haven't heard anything about in patient rehab.

Wow that is fast. I'm glad he is doing so good.

 

[betty rose]

That's quick. My Dad was sent to hospital in care rehab. I have to say he was there at least a month. But we have to remember my Dad was not great at doing what he needed to do with his heart operation nor his hip so both times they rehab'd him. He has amazing health coverage and they pick up a 100% of whatever medicare doesn't. Both the hospital and rehab center for his hip were more than willing to keep him as long as Doc's said necessary. And my Mom got a needed break as he is 'needy.'

That was wise , caregivers can get really tired, from the stress, and taking care of a loved one.

Good morning, all. TGIF. Thanks for all the kind words yesterday. It's looking like fall today, cool rain coming in for a few hours, and the lows are going to be in the 40's. Time to get out the wooly mittens!

I've thought about that too. We lose our power often in the winter, if we have really bad storms. We lost our power one year for three days, during a blizzard. It got mighty cold in the house, we weren't allowed to have a real wood burning fireplace. Ours are gas with an electric starter. Doesn't do you any good in a power outage.

Sympathy like! We have a kerosene heater for emergencies only. I hope I never have to use it again. Seeing your dh is good with electricity can he make a battery jump starter for the gas unit?

That's a great idea. I'll have to ask him. Good morning @figmentfan 423.

Good morning to Jarvis' dad. I have yet to name my car anything but good on gas

How funny - that's the name of my car, too!

It's 59 degrees here right now and I am never ever ready or going to be ready for that. What good is living in the south if you can't be sweaty, smelly and saying things like... sure is a hot one today ain't it? Or...are ya'all keeping cool?

I'll gladly swap you my 49!
