Good Mroning everyone :-/Today seems to be a "do-nothing" day, neither fair nor foul. And the ground is totally bare, only brown grass. Ugh!! :-*Despite everything, I hope you all have a good day. Kelly Get well soon. We miss you jokes and sunny disposition. who- -I fully sympathize with you. I broke my are just below the elbow (both bones) and had to have a cast from the middle of my hand to halfway up my upper arm. From Mother's Day to the end of August. But mine were complete breaks, not hairline like yours--and 40 years ago. who- -Aren't sons wonderful! My youngest has been helping me out every since I left the hospital a year ago. He's even moved into the same trailer park where I am so he can be nearer at hand.
] Good afternoon to my UK friends who & kelly - I hope you both feel better soon. who- -Can you use your hand (the broken arm one) at all? I had a cast on my broken arm but could use the hand somewhat.

Good morning everyone from Tuxy and me #MG_257# Rain, rain, rain - I wish it would go away. When the temps are in the 30s, I'd rather have snow. BTW a winter advisory is in effect in our area so maybe winter is finally on its way. Syracuse is still #1 in the country in basketball!! Last night they beat Villanova in Philadelphia by 13 points. That's 3 weeks now at #1 as they remain one of three colleges still undefeated. Of course, I don't expect them to go the whole season without a loss or two, but it's kinda fun having the #! team just down the road a piece.
Have a great Thursday everyone.
#Laie_15# Good morning Satorians. :(It's raining here but a winter advisory is in effect - they are expecting snow later. I hope they are right. I hate rain when the temps in the 30s. sus- -I agree totally about Haley Babour's actions. I notice that a court has intervened and blocked the pardons. I hope those men are returned to prison where they belong. Why were they allowed to work in and around the governor's mansion in the first place? :oBut that's Mississippi for you. It's the ony state that I've ever heard of that imposed taxes on something that was illegal - alcohol. You couldn't buy an alcoholic drink but the bootleggers & moonshiners had to pay a state tax!! When you went out for the evening, you carried your alcoholic beverage in a brown paper bag and order the chasers at the bar or restaurant. Paying the price of a drink (which was also taxed). :-*Anyway, I hope you have a good Thursday.
Good afternoon my UK friends from Tuxy and me Lord, we are a sickly bunch!! I've been on statins, diuretics, cholesterol meds and diabetic pills since 1994 when I had my heart attack. So those little round things do seem to be doing their job, along with watching my diet and losing weight. Thank goodness most of them are now generic. who- -I hope that getting a less powerful pain med means that you're getting better. And don't worry about messing up the day. I do it all the time. Luckily, I have a calendar on my computer screen that circles the date or I might never know what day it was!! ::)Ah, the pleasures of getting old, older and oldest!! Kelly- #1-giggle# -I feel very much like the old man in your joke! :-*Anyway, I hope you all are having a perfectly lovely Thursday.

Good morning everyone. It finally looks like winter outside. We had about 5 inches of the white stuff. But it is COLD and getting colder today. Low is figured to be in single figures, but at least above 0. I guess I need to be thankful for small things, right? 8-)The NFL playoffs go on today - New Orleans at San Francisco this afternoon and Denver at New England this evening. Some experts are actually expecting Denver to beat New England - Tim Tebow vs Tom Brady and Tebow wins? Not in this lifetime. I'll be rooting for San Fran in the first game. If the Giants can beat the Packers tomorrow, I'd rather see them go up against San Fran. So far, they have a terribel record against Drew Brees and the Saints!! Who are any of you rooting for? IIF--are you a Tebower? REMEMBER - Mystery Person tonight at 5 p.m..
Good morning Satorians. Well, winter finally arrived and we got about 5 inches of snow yesterday. And it's guaranteed to last at least a couple of days. The low temp today is supposed to be in the single digits! #cold1# #cold1# #cold1# #Vala_30# Actuallly, it's still snowing so the ski resorts must be jumping for joy. #smiley1828# #smiley1828# #smiley1828# #smiley1828# #smiley1828# #smiley1828# #smiley1828# sus--I'll be curous to hear what you thing of War Horse. Some have been complaining that it was left off the list of Oscar candidates. REMEMBER - Mystery Person tonight at 5 p.m..

#Laie_15# Good morning Fluffers. #smiley1828# Our third day of snow. A record for this winter but today the temps are supposed to go up and tonight the forecast is for rain , and there will go the snow. Ah well, we didn't need those ski/snowboard trails and snowmobile trails, now did we? ???Did anyone watch the Golden Globes last night? Meryl Streep did it again - won best actress for The Iron Lady. I think they said it's her 7th Golden Globe award! She's really an amazing actress. George Clooney won the best actor for The Descendents. He gave an interesting interview on the red carpet before the ceremonies - he said that he was moving into direction mainly because of his age. It's the first time I ever heard a leading man complain about age discrimination, usually it's the actresses who have that problem. Poor baby. My Giants won!! Beat those big, bad Packers at Lambaugh Field, 37-20. Now it's on to San Francisco for the NFC Championship - the two most unlikely teams in the playoffs. May the best (Giants) team win!! #party2# #party2# #party2# #party2# #party2# #party2# :-*Have a great Monday everyone. Good morning Satorians. sus- -I watched the Golden Globes too. I wasn't at all surprised when Meryl Streep won for The Iron Lady. With all the articles I've seen recently extolling her as this generation's greatest actress, I figured she was a shoo-in. And I feel the same as you about Christopher Plummer. ::)Do you plan to see The Artist? I think that's the one picture that I would like to see. It intrigues me - a nearly silent film. The clips I saw on the Golden Globes looked interesting and I lenjoyed the acceptance by the actor Jean Dujardin who won best actor in comedy/musical. I wasn't surprised that War Horse didn't win - it's too different with a horse as the leading "actor", but at least it got recognition. :-/And then there was the red carpet interviews. Most were just a chance to see the gowns. I did notice a trend - feathers around the bottom of the dress. I saw at least 3-4 of them. And I agree with you tux comment. Surely for one night the men could wear a bow tie? One interesting comment - by George Clooney. He's concentrating more on direction than acting, implying that he was getting too old for the roles. Now there's a switch. Usually it's the actresses who complain that there are noles for older (40+) women. 8-)All in all it was an interesting evening and I thank the Golden Globes and Gervais's irreverent emceeing!!
#Laie_15# Good afternoon my UK friends. Well, we've had three days of cold (yesterday felt like -1F) with the temp today 18F but rising. The snow has lasted for three whole days! But if the weather forecast is true, it won't last the night. They're forecast temps in the 30s and heavy rain. <sigh> Kelly- #1-giggle# -you did it again. Smiles all around. #1lg072tea# Have a lovely Monday, my frineds.

Good morning everyone. This has been the strangest winter. We're back to bare ground again after yesterday's temps in 40s and rain. But it's gloomy enough and cold enough out there today for more snow. Snow has become a 'now you see it, now you don't' condition. Gov. Cuomo released the planned state budget today - he says it can be balanced without any raise in taxes and fees whith a restructured pension plan for government employees and teachers. Should be an interesting fight coming up. Have a great day everyone.
#Laie_15# Good morning Satorians. #thinking-006# About the blackouts by various websites. I heard former Sen. Dodd on Morning Joe this a.m. explaining the anti-piracy bill. In order for a website to be effected, they will have to be convicted of piracy in a court of law with a suit brought by the Dept. of Justice. Websites like Googel, Wikipedia, Craigslist, Angieslist, etc. wouldn't be affected. It sites that sell counterfeit goods that are defective or dangerous that have to worry. Frankly, after listening to what he said and the subsequent discussion (Bob Woodward and Andrea Mitchell were part of the table) I think I support the bill. #high5# #high5# #high5# #high5#
;DExactly my sentiments, too. ::)I didn't see the doctor - I had an ultrasound done on my carotid arteries as a follow-up to last June's problem that turned out to be no problem with the arteries at that time. In six months, I'm to hve another ultrasound and then see the doctor for an overall assessment. sus- -a butterfly dog!! Maybe something could be done to counteract it's motion sickness? They are such cute things and an already trained adult dog. Could you speak to your vet and find out if there was something to help with the car sickness? :-*I hope you have a good Wednesday.
#Laie_15# Good afternoon to my UK friends. Kelly- #1-giggle# -you're certainly in rare form today!! Love the pics. And I do hope you enjoy the movie. Take plenty of tissues!!!

#Laie_15# Good morning everyone. #cold# Our brief flirtation with warmth has disappeared and we're back to gloomy cold. Of course, the forecasted snow showers for last night failed to appear, so they're back for this afternoon and evening. I'm taking bets that they will disappear too. Any takers? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D #smiley1828# #smiley1828# #smiley1828# #smiley1828# #smiley1828# #smiley1828# #smiley1828# #smiley1828# #smiley1828# #smiley1828# CW- #smileys-food-fastfood-809892# -I've always had a yen toward Cosmology. I must have read Stephen Hawking's Brief History several times, plus listened to the tape. I also read Roger Penrod and Richard Feynmen. All three wrote books that the intelligent layperson could read and understand. I found it fascinating. ;DAnd don't be quite so pessimistic about the Lions. They made the playoffs and maybe the philosophy has changed. Nothing wrong with a little optimism. Kelly- #silla4blt3# You're a treasure!! :-*I hope you all have a truly #gr8# Tuesday.
] #Laie_15# Good morning Satorians. sus- -I'm sorry that your appointment didn't work. A holistic chiro? Lord, what will they think of next. If you want holistic medicine, go to an osteopath. His advice can't hurt but will it fix your problem? I hope so. ???We're back to temps in the 30s and gloom and doom. More forecast for snow showers which, like last night, probably will never appear. <sigh> ;)I'm curious to see who and what were nominated for the Oscars. Did War Horse make it? :-*Have a great Tuesday.

Good morning everyone. The weather forecast was right - can you believe that? We got a couple of inches of snow overnight and more forecasted for today. Maybe we're going to have a winter after all. Did any of you watch the Screen Actors Guild awards? They definitely disagreed with the Golden Globes. Picked The Help as best picture with the two black actresses getting best actress and best supporting actress. And Jean Dujardin of The Artist won best actor. The only award that was the same was best supporting actor. And SAG is comprised only of performers, so the awards were by their peers, which I would think gives the award a special meaning. Two people that I know, one from the UK, have given The Iron Lady an unfavorable review, except for Meryl Streep's acting. It's main focus seemed to be the dementia she faced at the end of her life. I hope you all have a mirthful Monday.

#Laie_15# Good afternoon my UK friends. 8-)Great news, who. You must be going nuts, sitting home these last few weeks. And your boss sounds like you are really appreciated. BUT please be careful in the future - no more tripping over pavements. That is definitely a NO NO!!
Marvellous:you lot are up bright n early today --betcha all gone now, The old saying look after the pounds and the pennies will take care of themselves. Load of crap!! bet Cameron & Milliband are feeling cock-a-hoop , about R.B.S.boss Stephen Hester saying "I dont want to be a pariah" so i will not accept my bonus of £1.million---he is still getting £8.million ----its made up of other payouts like £3.3 mill this year & £4.5 mill in shares from a long term bonus scheme, Perhaps they should let him keep the £1mill and stopped the rest The money from the long term bonus could then be paid out to the little people that he has trimmed from the company---last but not least, as my tax was used to prop up R.B.S that makes me a shareholder ? why were we not consulted about this absurd bonuses cos as sure as GOD made little apples --think you know the rest.
#eusa_doh# #eusa_doh# #eusa_doh# #eusa_doh# #eusa_doh# #eusa_doh# #tease# Pod- -Don't feel bad. We're in the same fix with Mitt Romney, who makes millions on investments and pays only 15% tax rate while the average worker, making $30-40,000 pays 28-33%. Something is definitely wrong there. #tantru10# #tantru10# #tantru10# #tantru10# #tantru10# #tantru10# #tantru10# #tantru10# Kelly- -Thanks for the review of The Iron Lady. In essence, you and sus agree that it's not worth seeing, except for Meryl Streep. Pip- -The sun is shining here today too, but the temp is only 25ºF and feelss like 16ºF!! :-*I hope you all are having a very mirthful Monday.

Good afternoon everyone. As you can see, I'm running late today. 1st of the month bill paying time. Ugh!! The temp here in central NY is 52F! On the 1st of February. Unbelievable! Well, the Republican dog and pony show goes on with more boring hijinxs. Talk about the dumbing down of America. And on that note, I wish you all a good day.

Ahhhhhhh! I needed that. Good morning chatterers. I hope your Friday is going well. For some unknown reason I'm feeling very chipper this a.m. ::)We've lost all of the little bit of snow we had and are back to bare ground once more. I can faintly hear all the ski resorts having hysterics in the background. ???I wonder how all the snow-dependent businesses (clothing, ski/snow equipment, snowmobiles, etc.) are doing this year and how many will survive? ;)Luckily, neither I nor mine are involved. ;D ;D ;D TGIF everyone.
Good morning Satorians.

Good afternoon everyone. Overslept this a.m. Last night's Mystery Game game tired me out!!! Thank god today's the Super Bowl!! I don't think I could take another day of hype - two weeks of nothing by Giants vs Pats and I'm a Giant fan. I refuse to watch any of today's lead-in to the Super Bowl. They are lucky that I'm a Giant fan or I wouldn't watch at all.
I'm upset at those who vote for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. How could Bill Parcells not be elected!! or Chris Carter!! They're a bunch of idjits. The weather here is uneventful - mostly cloudy without a snowflake in sight. If this was summertime, we'd call it a drought. But all in all, I'm feeling fairly chipper today. I hope you are all having a grrrrrrrrrreat Sunday.
GO GIANTS

If they see snowflakes in the air once a year it's a miracle to them. Cornwall isn't a city?? WOW!!! You learn something new every day. (I'm just kidding - I know Corwanll is a county. Daphne du Maurier's favorite setting) What's this talk about borzois? I had one when I was in my teens. He was a wonderful dog who wanted to be a lapdog but could only fit his head on my lap. One thing - don't live anywhere near some wet spots. They love to roll in the stuff and then be hurt when you won't let them come near you. Unfortunately, he got hit by a car and killed. I was devastated. Pip- -You actually had some cold weather. You poor thing. :-*I hope you are all having a grrrrrrrrrreat Sunday.
#alarm2# Bedtime. Talk to you in the morning.

Good afternoon everyone. It's been snowing here off and on since yesterday and we've now got about 6-7 inches of the white stuff on the ground. For once it really feels like winter. However, I don't know how long it's going to last - the sun is shining now. One of the things that I lost was my e-mail contacts, so any of you that have my addy, please e-mail me. And any of you that would like my e-mail, PM me with yours and I'll send you mine. I hope you all have a great Sunday.
