Sadly I feel like I am always cleaning, but I want to do a Spring cleaning where I get the furniture moved out of the rooms and clean every nook and cranny.

You really do that?! Yikes!

Good news....it's warm enough to rain and it is raining
Bad news: the ground is frozen, there is so much snow on the ground, the rain melts the snow but that now makes more liquid water, drains are frozen over with snow so there is nowhere for the water to go....my area is in a flood warning through Thursday or longer, it is supposed to rain until Thursday. But the temperature might drop tomorrow night so it might turn to ice.

When it is all done it is like we just moved in. I love that feeling. With 6 people and 6 pets, 4 of which shed, it is sort of necessary. I actually want to have our floors redone. I want the same floors that @93boomer put in her house. Hoping for a sale on the material sometime in the near future.

That sounds like a really bad weather situation.

Yeah not really ideal. The last 7 weeks of weather have really done a number....record sub-zero temps, record snowfalls, ice, now rain. Crazy, but not much can be done.

Well thank you. That was in a hot tub this past weekend when it was about 12 degrees outside, because, you know, I always do such sensible things.

Hahaaa!!!!!
Reminds me of mine and DWifeys last ski trip to Colorado back in the late 80’s...
We met some friends from Iowa in Avon/Beaver Creek. The night we got there we all went down to one of the hot tubs. I think it was about 20 degrees, and the combination of temps had this continual plume of steam engulfing the tub to the point of not being able to see everyone in it.
Right after we got settled in the tub, I realized “Oh carp! I forgot the beer in the room!!!”
About 3 seconds later I heard a pop top open and a hand came through the steam with a fresh beer in it...just some stranger who recognized the emergency at hand...!!!!!
As soon as I finished that beer, I went back to the condo to get our beer and returned the favor...!!!

Thank you and one of these years I'm going into the city to hit the cheap shot place with you

Interested, as there used to be a place we frequented back in the early 80’s here that did $0.50 shots on certain nights.
The kicker was, they also had a continual “station” that did $2.00 shots, where you sat in a barber chair, they leaned you back, and then filled your mouth...NO JOKE...!!!!!!!
Not surprisingly, I can no longer recall the name of the place...!!!

Anyway, seriously, what are considered cheap shots these days, especially in NYC, LA, etc...?!

I'm going to use your method for news..

Good news: I'm almost completely healthy for my trip, tomorrow I'm leaving and my interview is on friday. (my buttchecks will be sore for a bit.. but worth it I guess).
Bad news: My boss just called me to fix a few things and do a few changes on the sites. And then told us that they are almost bankrupted. So my "job hunting opportunity" transformed into a "do or die" job hunt. To resume, they said I would get paid 1 month more of full salary when im going to be completely cut off.
Which is horrible news.
Might have to consolidate my debt into a single entity again.

Bag is almost ready, going to do a last minute backup tomorrow of my email program just in case. and off ill go!

Go to BOG and you can have France and Belgium knocked off your list

As I’ve posted before...
Been there, done that, wasn’t gonna’ pay what Disney wanted for that t- shirt...especially since mine and my DSs $32.99 strip steaks were gristle-fests...
Although, the bottled Belgian ale I had was, somewhat, acceptable...!?

Oh man! What news! Best wishes on your interview.

 

[donaldtoo]

honestly, I used to like Star Wars.. but now the ultra cheesyness of the prequels and now even further with the Adam Diver (Kylo) BS.. I'm kinda bailing out as well.

Rogue One was the last decent movie for me.
and Solo was a basic Sunday flick.

Yep, same here.
As I’ve posted before, I saw an interview with Mark Hamill in ‘77 on one of our local news stations one morning before school, as the “newcomer” was here to promote “Star Wars” just before the original movie was released. I was sooooo excited for it...!!!!!
And, to me anyway, that first flick, and the 2 to follow (to slightly varying degrees ) are just the best...!!!!!

The only other SWs movie I’ve seen in a theater is TFA, and I fell asleep during that...!!!!!

Talk about milkin’ somethin’ for everything it’s worth, and then some...I think Lucas just thought to himself...
I made it happen, and don’t wanna’ run it into the ground, but, if Disney is willing to pay monstrous bucks and run it into the ground themselves, then I’m OK with that...!!!!!

At this point, they would hafta’ pay US to go back to walt dizzy world...

 

[Gabe1]

I do agree with that... plus with the way the seasons have shifted about a month (Summer use to be June, July, August. Now it seems to be July, August, September) It doesn't get hot until July, then you put the kids back in School in August when it's a bajillion degrees and expect them to pay attention!

When I was out of elementary school and onto Jr High all of our schools had air conditioning. We are in a different county and all of our schools have air conditioning both our elementary and high school districts.

 

[donaldtoo]

Alrighty gang, I be out for now, and will try more ketchup over the next few days...!
Sweet dreamin’ and mornin’ to all of y’all...!!!
Later-ishhhhhhhhhhh...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even minions want to be with the Mouse....

Currently 64 degrees at WDW and it is after midnight there. Wish I was.

Breaks my heart that a construction worker lost their life tonight at Epcot. Each and every time that a Disney Cast Member or contractor looses their life at Disney World it hurts just as much. Prayers to his family and God Rest his Soul.

My sons oldest friend since they were in daycare as infants was a monorail driver the night of the fatal crash. He knows it could have easily been him. It is always rough to loose anyone who's work is to bring us all more happiness in OUR HAPPY PLACE. It is this place we all have in common and a loss of a soul is so sad. RIP.

I can't like this post. I'm sorry. I will send more prayers and good Karma for your interview. Want nothing but for the best for you. You have overcome so much in life and over this year too. Pray you get the life break you deserve. Godspeed my friend.

 

[Gabe1]

You really do that?! Yikes!

Giggle. Life is too short. When I sold my home I saw things I never saw in over 30 years. EEK. But guess what. I lived without knowing that and we are all still living. Time saved, time not wasted in life.

Tbh I wish gas prices go up so Americans start buying smaller cars

The ying and yang. I will never purchase a small car with the weather conditions I live in anymore than I'd live in a trailer give the tornadoes we have. It is something about respect for what Mother Earth brings upon where you live and preparing for it. The Three little pig story rings true to real life.

I plan to retire south. Won't need the 4x4 wheel drive. Still I question being the one with smaller car vs larger on the roads. Logic says the smaller car looses when struck by a larger car/SUV/Truck no matter where you live. I've thought about gas prices vs the increased safety of a larger car in the event of an accident cause we all know the pick-ups and SUVs will still remain on the roads even if purchases lean more to smaller cars for a while. The larger cars always come back and the little ones remain the most vulnerable in a crash. When I move south I will continue wrestle with the gamble even with the gas prices. Money saved doesn't help if you are hurt or dead.
