could be worse..

Drive carefully....slow and steady.

Thank you. I don't drive in snow, but hubby will drive me to a train station. Goodness knows how many trains they'll cancel today, though.

The boy golden retriever that I adopted when he couldn't stay with his family at 5 months name was Fritz. I had to slowly rename him, he became Jethro because my Dads name is Fred/Frederick. He wasn't amused with the dog named Fritz.

Your dad wasn't amused? I named my dog after one of my brothers, and told my bro that it was the supreme compliment, that I named the dog after him. He smiled. Had no choice; the deed had been done!

 

[MinnieM123]

I'm glad to hear you survived.

Hee hee . . . I went about 1/2 hr. ago, and shovelled for another 20 minutes. We had 3 more inches overnight, so my area's total is 25 inches from this almost 2-day storm! Looks gorgeous out, though.

 

[MinnieM123]

Oh my.
Did you actually just end a post involving snow with a sad-faced smilie...?!?!?!

Ha! Yah, i did. But the sad face concerned the difficult commute this morning, not the snow, itself.

 

[MinnieM123]

Oh yea! LUVS me some venison, too...!

Have you ever had moose? I had it once, and was surprised at how good it was. A friend of ours cooked it and it had to be done a certain way (I can't remember the method), but it was really tasty.

 

[Gabe1]

Better...?

I call that first piece laying down and the left corner.

 

[Gabe1]

Well, there are other people who prefer mayonnaise condiment or tartar sauce.

I only use butter and lemon with lobster and some crab. There are lots of good sauces made for fish with a bit of mayonnaise.

 

[Gabe1]

Yep, a high of 82 degrees and sunny side up all day long here...!!!
But, a cold front's comin' through and it'll only get up to 79 tomorrow.

I did say stifle now didn't I Sir???

 

[Gabe1]

probably they expected the old formula where the girl needs to "be saved" by a prince.
Merida and Mulan are prime examples of ladies who need no men to get carp done.

I was so happy my DD didn't bond with Princesses when she was small.

Some of these little girls in the parks look so sweet in their little princess dresses in the parks. Other Parents carry it too far and go full out bitty bop and these sweet little tots look like they are decked out for a night on the town.
I've seen the same thing over the year with dance recitals. Between the outfits, make-up and hair they look anything but sweet.

I was so much more comfortable with mine being athletes however there is a whole different demographic of
Sports Parents out there too.

Sub out those anemic looking fries for a fully loaded baked potato, and this would be perfect:

Much better. I'm a fan of Red Robin's Garlic-Herb Parmesan Fries.

 

[Gabe1]

If your equipments are dying this fast.. I really recommend putting it in a very ventilated area and protected with a UPS (to prevent black outs, brown outs..etc.. from damaging the hard disk, as its the most delicate part)

It does have the protection however you are right, it is slammed in top bottom, side by wood in the cabinet. Only back and front have access to air.

We have Uverse, Comcast and Direct TV. Uverse is the only one that doesn't go out all the time but their internet is so slow. Least of the evils so Uverse it is. We do blow out a DVR box every 6 months though.

Wow, I find that strange. I have Uverse and no problem I have ever had with my DVR over the last two years has needed anymore then a reboot. Also have it for my internet and frankly the only way it could be faster were if it were to respond before I asked for a site. Everything, other then poor websites, are instantaneous.

Your dad wasn't amused? I named my dog after one of my brothers, and told my bro that it was the supreme compliment, that I named the dog after him. He smiled. Had no choice; the deed had been done!

Ha! No Fred was not amused with Fritz aka subsequently Jethro.

Yep. The way it was explained to me was Uverse has various transmitters ontop of electrical poles etc. Depending on how close your property is to the closest transmitter and how many others are on the net determines the speed with them. I have full bars now but around dinner last night it was down to 2 making it similar to old dial up AOL.

 

[Gabe1]

You are sweet. Believe me, I'll never fit in skinny jeans, nor do I want to.

Right there with ya sister friend. Even my 23 year old DD that is 5'4" and somewhere around 100 pounds will not wear skinny jeans. She looks real good in her Express Jeans that are tight enough without looking like someone poured her into them.

those look delicious!

Uverse is wireless using 2.4 band or 5.4 band?

No moose, but, I have had elk, which I really enjoyed.
Sounds tasty though, so if I ever get the chance, you can bet I'll eat it...!

Just finished this design that's goin' on an 85 acre horse ranch up near Dallas...



And, a not-so-Hidden Mickey that I sketched into the rock work...
