Stuff. . .

Wow!  Everyone's back.  What a good week.  {:-)

Trudy, So COOL!!! -- about the Celtic Thunder concert excitement! :)  Nice, too that you had such a good time catching up with a former schoolmate, even if it was decades. . .  {;-)

I just reserved 9 books from the library by Melissa McClone.  I sure hope I like them as she's a new to me author, I think.

Continuing to pray for your friend, Sharon.  I hope you don't mind, but I posted your prayer request in the Prayer Room at eH.  They all send {{{{HUGS}}}} to you, and Sharon & family, and assured me they would pray. 

Hey, if wires work. . .  We're just glad you're able to get back to us. {:-)

I'm sorry I turned the rest of your hair gray.  I'm back to normal now, except for a small bruise on the elbow I bumped.  Thanks to everyone for all the good wishes and hugs.  :)

Cady, oh my gosh!  You've had your share of trouble lately, too.  {{{{HUGS}}}}  I'm glad everyone is improving!

The Perfect Hope by Nora Roberts -- is that the one someone said was a Harl. book?  Is it any good? 

Donna M, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! the picture with the colored branch against the cloudy sky!!! 

I don't watch DWTS.  That's not the kind of dancing I like -- seems more like exhibitionism to me. . .

Our payday this month is a week after yours -- the 3rd last business day of each month, except in Dec. when it's on the 22nd.  Makes Jan one very long month!  That's what happens when you "work" for the gov't. . .

{:-)  If you guys celebrated Thanksgiving a little earlier you'd be able to decorate for Christmas sooner, too.  {;-P  {:-D  We never take our decorations down until after Ukranian Christmas, either, which is Jan 7.  (one year we even left them up until my birthday, which is Jan 25.)

We have more snow already than we had all last winter.  The city crews worked 24/7 from Sun afternoon to Thurs evening to get the dump of snow we got last weekend from Thurs evening to Sun morning cleared away.  Our son-in-law works for the city.  He was on the night crew and worked from midnight till noon every day, then got Fri off.  He was so tired he almost slept the clock around. 

Sandi, I'm very glad you enjoyed your training week, especially dinner with your brother!  All of a sudden you'll have 2 notary stamps. . .  I'm sorry you don't live closer.  We could sure use a notary right about now.  Our daughter & family are trying to buy the house they're renting.  The lawyer has the papers drawn up, but the guy who has to sign them (the owner of the house) is working 6 hours from here.  If you lived closer we could just take you and the papers and drive up there. . .  {;-)

Margie, Wow!  That was really something scary with your sister!!!  I'm glad the doc actually admitted that he learned his lesson.

Do computers have batteries?  Oh.  Are you referring to a laptop?  Sometimes after I've upgraded stuff on my computer it freezes on me and I have to restart it several times before everything learns to work together -- but then my computer is 10 years old. . .  (and not a laptop)

Mary, Good to see you back again!  :)  Welcome to the Social Security Group!  {:-)  We can apply for early Canada Pension at age 60, but don't get the full pension benefits until age 65.  They call that Old Age Security. 

Oh my, look at the time!  No wonder I'm hungry!  Lunch time, more later. . .  :)
