OK, we need a new law. Anyone that has a four day weekend is to go to Drivers Ed. before heading out on the highway. I had to go 21 miles this morning to Durham and there were four accidents on the road west bound and two more east bound. That created a I-40 parking lot for much of the way. An hour and a half later I arrived at my destination. Coming back took just a little under 20 minutes. I guess that all super highways need a no rubber necking lane to keep traffic moving.

Good one!!!

I burst out laughing reading this! It's true--people can't drive as it is, let alone on mobbed roads on a long holiday weekend.

As did I!

That's so bad I can't even sympathy like it. I have quite a few words but this being family friendly and all I can't list them. More ammo? Something stronger than wine?

Ammo and Wine would be perfect. Across the room is a nice dry (expensive) bottle of Riesling looking my way. I bought it for our Black Friday Feast but never got to it. Tempting.

What in the world do you do with it inside your car?

 

[Gabe1]

Sympathy like View attachment 328337 and more Riesling heading your way. Stay safe my
friend

Thank you, thank you very much. And yes the Riesling is tempting me, the only thing holding me back is I'd have to get up from under all the warm blankets I'm under.

LOL that might be what my OB looked like this morning too.. except the one currently on my car only has 1 ear.

My Easter Egg Mickey lost 2 of his ears this spring. There WAS the traditional Mickey Ears and Rabbit Ears behind them. I had him since 2007, good long life he had.

I was wondering too why the @Mr Ferret 88 kept Orange Bird in his car too...afraid to ask.

 

[Gabe1]

Isn't that the problem with long weekends? Hard to get back into a groove. It doesn't help when the weather is cold, rainy, and gloomy either.

Are you in the portion of the state that is to get 18 inches of snow or is the worst going to miss ya?

That looks so pretty out there. Then again I love that area you live in. If I might ask is it a condo or townhome? Still looking for my 'right' place to retire in that general area.

Point well taken, love your problem solving skills!

Hope your Thanksgiving was great.

It was pretty good - had a houseful for the week! It’s nice to have company, but it’s nice to have a quiet house again too!

Thank you! Sure you can ask—it’s a condo.

Holidays zap the strength out of a lot of people. You had some extra planning this time, with transporting the feast. Takes some extra energy to line up all your cards correctly on that undertaking. And then there's spending the day with the rellies . . .

Holidays isn't the only time with issues with the relatives. What I dealt with for my birthday parties when I was a kids with the relatives over was not the best of memories. My favorite birthday parties as a kid was the ones without the relatives for a reason.

All I am willing to say is back when I was kid my parents had my have 2 birthday parties on different dates. My parents had the relatives over for my birthday on the actually day I was born back when I was a kid.

Went to get my new Surface. It is awesome. Could not be happier with it. I just wrote all this with its pen.

Nice!!!

My new iPad came this past Saturday and its case today. Happy Camper.



EDIT: I spy my little Dumbo in the upper right, I guess just for you lol.

Thank you, and OK, I want to live in your neighborhood!

That is exactly what we did. A kids party and Family one cause I could never inflict my inlaw family and most of their kids on friends. None of us like them not even the kids own father liked them and it was his family. We did away with those types of parties when my kids were young teens and actually younger than that for the daughter. Why do something you hate?

My families idea of a birthday celebration is taking you out to buy whatever you want as a gift and then taking you out for a nice meal-you choice of where.
