Well Hello!

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Everyone's posting about their snow covered backyards and I'm just sitting here with 70 degree weather.

I am jealous! We don't have snow but the rain chills to the bone. BRR!

This would be still be true if I weren't on vacation. Colorado is freezing!

 

[Gabe1]

I tend to agree.

That cat is showing so much restraint

On the way home from Houston this evening, in Tomball, Texas we saw it as low as $1.52.9.
I'm startin' to wonder how far $0.29.9 is away...!

After reading this post last night I was annoyed to pay $2.20 today.

 

[Gabe1]

Pretty sure the OPEP will prevent it from going that low.

Pretty soon it will be time once again for a conjured up 'crisis' to jack up the price again. We had that happen over the summer. A refinery had an undisclosed mishap and prices of gasoline jumped 50 cents in 15 minutes and was up $1.40 by the next day. No explanation from the refinery.

or you can just buy a DVD player/burner and have your cable or sattelite go right to it

Or just stick the VHS tape into the VHS player.

Thanks, I am feeling better but I have a cough hanging on. I am at the in-laws now and they have shedding dogs so I don't know what is my cold and what is allergies to the dog dander and fur. There is a lot of fur around and it is creeping me out. I miss my non-shedding schnauzer.

I vacuumed today. Then I saw Walt go over to the window in the livingroom. He shook and hair just rained down to the floor. 'Tis the season. In the kitchen though his hair seems to all blow under the kitchen cabinets. Makes it easy to take a paper towel and scoop it all up. Walt sheds more than my two Golden Retrievers combined.

I tend to agree.

It's been in the 70s here...I've been going swimming. Even went in the ocean (it was cold).

 

[StarWarsGirl]

I only put ketchup on my mac 'n cheese, scrambled eggs, grilled cheese (on the side for dipping), and on my meatloaf before I bake it.




Occasionally on the side of my fries, again for dipping.
And maybe with fried leftover potatoes.
Once in a while, with fried leftover spaghetti/macaroni.
Always on a fried egg sandwich.
With an omelette, if there is no salsa.
Sometimes on a hotdog ....

I had a burger today. I did not add ketchup, and I left the tomato on.

Good morning @ Cesar R M. I hope you had a nice holiday!

I did!
We had awesome dinner in consecutive days.
the 25th we had another reunion with tons of BBQ spicy wings.

 

[Cesar R M]

I hope you have safe travels, pixie dust coming your way.

just mere 3 days more for my trip. I'm nervous!
I have almost everything ready.

 

[Cesar R M]

So sorry.
We've never had any major problems flying, and we've flown every time. Otherwise it would take about 22 hrs. of driving. I'll take the 3 hrs. of drinks and flying anytime.

you're lucky!. I 've had my huge doze of delays, cancellations and lost connection flights.
most scary was when I was still almost completely deaf with a normal hearing aid.
Had to write a lot.
thankfully, I got free hotel, vouchers.. first class..etc..

 

[Cesar R M]

I can truthfully, and with a lot of gratitude, say that I have never had a problem on a plane. Always got the seat(s) I reserved, have never been bumped and no matter what section of the plane I was in, it got to the airport at the same time as the other sections. The only time that they ever misplaced my luggage was when I was in route to Vietnam and first had a stop over in San Francisco. It was my duffel bag. It was delivered to me the next morning. I don't remember the details about it, but, I would have been in deep do-do if they hadn't been able to locate it. (But, they did.)

lucky x 2.
I remember once assigning my seats 7 months before the flight. and I was kicked in an oversold flight. I was FURIOUS.
This was during the Delta-Continental merge.
I demanded them to pay ALL my expenses since I had lost my connection flight again.
Of course, if I could scream in english I would have.
had to type everything.. and trust me.. that lady in the counter had the biggest "Dont give a darn" face. Had to show everything to other Continental counter.. then SHE resolved everything.

First I don't have a computer with all those doodads. Second, that's too much work

sounds complex but it isnt.
infact, most of the older "media pcs" from HP, Compaq and Dell.. had tv capture cards on their higher end.
before they were replaced by DVDs.

 

[Cesar R M]

Thank you! December has been crazy. I'm looking forward to a peaceful January.

hardly peaceful. January is the day of wiggling in pain as you see your debts caused by december expending

Or just stick the VHS tape into the VHS player.

The problem is, VHS tapes start to degrade after a few runs.
