#bostezo2# Good morning femme and friends. #alarm2# Once again running late. I just didn't want to get up this a.m. and being retired and living by myself, I had nothing pushing me to get up. ???It looks to be a strange weather day today. Starting cloudy with temp 48F going to thunderboomers and high 73F!!! #phil_34# #phil_34# #phil_34# :)The NCAA March Madness begins at noon today, so I'll be watching that off and on today - 16 games televised today!! #bf-basketballsmiley# #bf-basketballsmiley# #bf-basketballsmiley# #bf-basketballsmiley# #bf-basketballsmiley# #bf-basketballsmiley# ;)In case none of you have realized, I'm a BIG sports fan as well as a news junkie. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :-*Have a tantalizing Thursday everyone!! Good morning everyone.. Once again running late. I just didn't want to get up this a.m. and being retired and living by myself, I had nothing pushing me to get up. The weather is turning strange - fair with temps in the 40s in the morning, thunderstorms with a high of 73F in the afternoon, Now how does one dress for a day like that?? [img src="[http://www.sectalk.com/boards/images/imported/2011/08/SmileyScratchingHeadAni-1.gif"][img src="[http://www.sectalk.com/boards/images/imported/2011/08/SmileyScratchingHeadAni-1.gif"][img src="[http://www.sectalk.com/boards/images/imported/2011/08/SmileyScratchingHeadAni-1.gif"][img src="[http://www.sectalk.com/boards/images/imported/2011/08/SmileyScratchingHeadAni-1.gif"] The NCAA March Madness begins at noon today, so I'll be watching that off and on today - 16 games televised today!!
In case none of you have realized, I'm a BIG sports fan as well as a news junkie. Michigan State has gone into March Madness as a #1 seed under Coach Izzo and each time has come out as NCAA champion. So naturally, I picked against him!! My team, Syracuse (also a #1 seed) is in a heap of trouble, losing their 7' center. They'll be lucky if they get out of the 2nd / 3rd round. Ah well, it's only a basketball game, not the end to peace in our time as we know it. Have a tantalizing Thursday everyone. It's almost Friday.

Good morning everybody. Another warm day here in the Finger Lakes (high 71F). Yesterday I had to turn on the fans it got so warm!! And in the evening we had a thunderstorm that seemed to be stationed right over me!! Every time it thundered, it shook my trailer!! But it doesn't look like it's going to last. There's a huge snowstorm coming from the west. <sigh> I'm getting my eyes examined today for new glasses. I've got to breakdown and finally get bifocals. Another sign of old age Where is everyone this a.m. Had a hard weekend? Too many libations? I hope you have a mad, mad, mad, mad, mad Monday!!
#animated-smileys-eating-drinking-162# Good morning femme and friends. #smileys-household-620728# #tea2# #fansmiley# Another warm day forecasted for here. Yesterday I had to turn my fans on, it got so warm!! #iibvpak3# #iibvpak3# ???So where is everyone today. Rough weekend? Too many #cocktail-3# #cocktail-3# #cocktail-3#?? :(I'm getting my eyes examined today for new glasses. I've got to breakdown and finally get bifocals. :oAnother sign of old age :-*I hope you all have a mad, mad, mad, mad, mad Monday.
#tea2# Goof afternoon my UK friends. Pod- -I read an article on that Jewish school shooting in Toulouse, France. Horrid!! And did you see that there has been a similar shooting (man on scooter) of 3 paratroopers in the Toulouse area. The gun from the first shooting (1 soldier) was used in the 2nd shooting of 2 soldiers. In both cases, a man on a motorscooter just like the school shooting. But what connection can there be between the killing of 3 soldiers and the school? ???Break up best friends? If thats all they have to worry about, they're lucky. Best friends may fight but they make up. It's your casual friendships that can lead to bustups!!! Pip- -Is the glass in the conservatory yet? :)We've got sun and warm weather here, on the day before the official start of spring. ::)But it doesn't look like it's going to last. There's a huge snowstorm coming from the west. <sigh #girl_sigh#> :-*I hope you all are having a mad, mad, mad, mad Monday.

#window# Good morning my friends. At least one more day of warm weather, maybe two, and then the temps are due to drop back to more normal ones. Ah well, I knew it couldn't last. But the grass is greener and some trees are budding and the weather gods can't take that away!!!#hapydancsmil# #hapydancsmil# #hapydancsmil# #hapydancsmil# #hapydancsmil# #hapydancsmil#
I used to be a night owl, back in the days of MSNBC. There was a group of 5-6 posters (quik kel, krickitt, Capt Sparrow, ghostdance, etc.) who for one reason or another were apt to post in the wee hours. Most were lost when those boards went down. <#girl_sigh# sigh> I'm usually still up by midnight but no longer do any posting.
Kelly- -Like? I'm not sure. It hits too close to home!! :-*I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.

"3 police hurt in shootout with suspect in Jewish school slayings" Congrats for once to the French for such quick work. Have a wondrful Wednesday.
#window# Good afternoon my UK friends. Pod- -I gave up on buying lottery tickets years ago. Never won a single solitary cent. I had better luck at the horse races. There, at least, I usually broke even. #eusa_doh# Wow, Kelly, you're really on your soapbox today. And no joking.
"3 police hurt in shootout with suspect in Jewish school slayings" 8-)Congrats for once to the French for such quick work. :-*I hope you all are having a wondrful Wednesday. "

#tea2# Good morning femme and friends. :)I'm a big fan of Hershey's sugar free dark chocolate. I could eat a whole bag at one sitting but limit myself to two mini-bars. :)As for ice creeam - I love Schwan's peach frozen yogurt with real peach pieces. But sherbet - raspberry all the way!! :-*TGIF everyone. #window# Good morning IIF & Wingnut, who, Kelly, Sparkle, femme, FS and anyone else visiting. ::)The weather is getting back to more normal. I really wasn't ready for summertime weather without going through spring first. Today's high isn't supposed to get out o the 60s. :'(How will I survive??? at least this last one was really good!! ;D ;D ;D ;D :-*TGIF everyone!!
Good afternoon my friends. Today our weather is going back to being more normal with temps reaching only the 60s. I was not eady for the wether gods to decide to skip spring althogether this year. I'm not feeling too good today and I'm thinking of going back to bed. < sigh> TGIF everyone.

#Connie_windowtongue# Good morning femme and friends :-/I guess since everyone seems MIA, feme's computer troubles are still ongoing. Sorry about that. ::)The weather here is sinking back to normal. Temp is 47F and it's overcast - those sunny blue skies have definitely passed away! :'(Syracuse lost last night to Ohio St. Now I don't care who wins the NCAA championship, Well maybe if it's Louisville. At least they are still a Big East team. :-*I hope everyone's having a fine Sunday.
Good morning everyone. We're back to more normal spring weather - temp 47F and gloomy with possible showers later. Ah well, I knew the summy skies and warmth couldn't last. <sigh> Syracuse lost to Ohio State!! Now I can only hope that Louisville can beat Kentucky and just how likely is that to happen? Slim to None?? On the other hand, opening day for baseball is only 12 days away. I hope everyone is having a perfectly lovely Sunday.

Good morning everyone. More sunny but cold weather but at least it's above freezing so maybe the fruit trees wil be OK. Here's hoping. I have never been bitten by the renoation bug, thank god. I set up house and that's the way it stays until I have to move again. My last home is a trailer which has lovely paneling and plenty of windows (this my only requirement for happy living). I matched my furniture to fit the walls 10 years ago and I'm perfectly happy with them. I love this smiley!! I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday.
#Connie_windowtongue# Good morning IIF & Wingnut, who, Kelly, FS, Sparkle, femme and anyone else dropping in. #cold1# It's cold but sunny today but above freezing, thank goodness, and hopefully the fruit trees are safe. IIF- -I think there might be something to what Hoge is saying. I listened to snippets of the press conference and his favorite phrase was "I'm excited" that he used in almost every other sentence. It showed a complete lack of imagination and ability to express himself. Someone said he used the word "excited" 44 times. Inarticulation personified!! Kelly- -You set your trick up beautifullly. ;D ;D ;D :-*I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday.
#cold# Good afternoon my UK friends. Today it's cold but sunny with temps above freezing, so the fruit trees are hopefully surviving their early flowering. i certainly hope so or this area will be in a lot of economic trouble later this year. :(Poor Kelly, awake with the birds. Ours haven't arrived yet and so no singing outside. ???Just where is Pip hiding? Has her conservatory collapsed trapping her under the patio furniture? or has she suffered heat stroke from all the sunny days? :-*I hope all the rest of you are having a terrific Tuesday.

#tea2# Good morning femme and friends. :DThis spring weather is driving me SANE!!!! Yesterday was windy but sunny and temps in the 60s. Today it alternates between gloom and rain and temps in lower 40s. AARRRRGGGGGHHHH!! femme- -Good luck at the doctors. I hope nothing is wrong?? ::)I've got to call mine and make an appointment for my after-winter appointment. Then comes my annual physical. Ah well, It's not as bad as it used to be - no more yearly pap smears. Kelly- #connie_mini_lalalalala# -Once again you come through to lighten my mood. Thanks. IIF- -Are the wildfires any better today - mostly contained, I hope. :-*I hope you all have a thirstless Thursday. ;D ;D
Good afternoon everybody.. The weather today is depressing - rain then gloom with temps in the 40s. And yesterday it was sunny with temps in the 60s!! It's driving me crazy.
I'm watching the Oakland-Seattle opening series in Japan. Has anyone heard what the rationale for the first series of the season to be in Japan? I could see MLB going to Europe to try and drum up more interest, but baseball-mad Japan? Have a grrrreat Thursday everone. #tea2# Good afternoon my UK friends. ???The weather here has gone back to gloom and doom interspersed with periods of rain. Yesterday we had sun and blue skies with temps in the 60s and now we've got THIS. Pod- -Is there a reason for gas lines or is that just a usual thing? I never get anxious until the needle hits "E" and then you usually still have a couple of gallons grace. Pip- -You never answered my question. Is your conservatory done and all outfitted? So you can enjoy all that sunny weather in comfort? Kelly- ;D-since who and I are probably the only ones here who have seen the joke twice, I wouldn't worry about it. It's still funny. :-*Have a great Thurdsay everyone.

#smileys-household-620728# Good morning femme and friends. blue- -according to the news, there's a new multi-millionaire in Maryland and there may be others elsewhere. All I know for sure is that I'm not one of them Of course, since I didn't buy a ticket I can't be, but this only a minor detail. ;D ;D ;D ;D >:(I don't know how I'm going to last until the presidential election in November. I'm already fed up with the whole thing and each day it only gets worse. I'm totally disappointed / disgusted with the GOP candidates and the party. I wasn't that favorable to it before the electioneering started and now I wouldn't vote for a Republican if he/she were the only candidate available. A more unrealistic, cantankerous, reactionary group I don't think I have ever seen in all my years. And I was originally a registered Republican??? #42204v1666286ik0# #42204v1666286ik0# :-/Not that the Democrats are much better, but at least they're living in the 21st century with me. #eusa_doh# OK, I'm off my soapbox. You're safe. ;D ;D Kelly #disappointed-1021# I'm sorry that you're not feeling well and I hope your tummy recovers quickly.#hearts_3v# :-*I hope you all have a super Saturday.
Good morning everyone. Another gloomy, cold and wet day here. Typical for March but slightly warmer with temps in the 30s to 40s, so I guess I should be thankful but I'm not!! I see that there's a new multi-millionaire in Maryland and there may be others elsewhere. All I know for sure is that I'm not one of them. Of course, since I didn't buy a ticket I can't be, but this is only a minor detail. Have a "wicked" weekend everyone.
#1lg072tea# Good afternoon my UK friends. Kelly- -Sorry that you don't feel well. I hope your tummy recovers soon.

We have cut our consumption but instead of reaping the rewards, we're getting socked with the result of others (mainly Asia) wasteful use. I think all countries of the world should fine any auto company who tries to sell a car (new or used) with a gas comsumption under 30 miles per gallon, $1,000 per car. Maybe that would force them to get rid of all the gas-guzzling monsters out there. #waiting-929# #waiting-929# #waiting-929# #waiting-929# ???So Pip, the sun still shining there ins Spain? #d_sunny# Do you ever get rain?

Good morning femme and friends and happy peanut butter & jelly day. Well, I got some of what I wished for with the weather. The sun has arrived with its lovely blue skies BUT it's hasn't warmed up much. In fact, the weatherman warned of a possible hard frost tonight. Did any of you fill out NCAA tournament brackets and if you did, howja do? My bracket is a mess but somehow I came out with the championship game of Kentucky vs. Kansas (picking Kansas to win). Tomorrow's the NCAA women's championship - Nortre Dame vs. Baylor. Baylor is trying to be the first team, men or women, to ever go 40-0 in a single season.
For years Baylor has been at the bottom of the feeding line of sports. And this year they get the Heisman Trophy winner in football and the overwhelming favorite women's basketball team. Way to go Baylor!! I hope you all have a madcap Monday!!

Good morning femme and friends. I've never watched Hell's Kitchen but I have watched a BBCAmerica program Ramsey's (something can't remember) who travels around the US fixing broken restaurants, usually to the dismay of their proprietors!! Today seems to be another sunny day and slightly warmer starting out. Yesterday we got into the lower 60s and hopefully will do so again today. It wound up to be gorgeous yesterday.
Happy birthday to Scottish Lassie. Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone. #window# Good morning IIF & Wingnut, who, Kelly, FS, femme and anyone else dropping in. Kelly- -It's so good to have you back! I'm so sorry that you had food poisoning. ???Have you figured out what it was that caused the problem? There's a salmonella outbreak here due to sushi. But your back and so is the joke. Funneee!! I missed them so much. #JC_cupidgirl# #JC_cupidgirl# #JC_cupidgirl# #JC_cupidgirl# #d_sunny# It's a lovely spring day here today - sunny blue skies altough the temp is still in the mid-40s. #cakesmileyf# Happy birthday Scottish Lassie. :'(Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone. #window# Good afternoon my UK friends.

Happy Easter morning femme and friends. :(So I don't get a pic by fuzzems? What am I? Chopped liver? This has been my favorite for years. #d_sunny# Another sunny day but warmer - temps in the 60s. Perfect for Easter!! :-*I hope you all have a lovely Easter. Happy Easter my friends. Another sunny day and somewhat warmer. A perfect Easter day for this time of the year!! I'll be spending the afternoon with family, hopefully including my granddaughter Mia. Between my two sons and my dil's identical twin, there are 7 in the next generation ranging from 19 to 3 months. The oldest is a young woman in her first year of college. She was valecdortian of her high school and is going to SUNY Fredonia. She has a double major - pre-med biology and music. Fredonia is the only place she applied to that would allow the double major. I haven't seen her since Thanksgiving (her parents are divorced and she spends every other major holiday here). hope you all have a lovely Easter with your loved ones. Happy Easter afternon my UK friends. #d_sunny# Sunny here with temps getting somewhat warmer so that it looks to be a perfect spring day for Easter.

Good afternoon everyone. Well, It's afternoon now. I had to go to Social Security this a.m. - they didn't send me a document that I needed for my taxes (done by my dil every year). Only took 2 1/2 hours which is quick when dealing with the feds (or state government too).
Now back to my 2nd book, The Pain Companion by Amanda Quick - a Regency book. For those unfamilliar with the term, it is set in the era of the regency of the Prince of Wales, eldest son of the "insance" George III, in the first part of the 19th century. The first book I read was Midnight Crystal: Book 3 in the Dreamlight trilogy by Jayne Castle. I haven't read the first two books, but I may. Jayne Ann Krents has been preoccupied with writing a series of books under all three of her names about what she calls the Arcane Society - individuals with paranormal of psychic abilities and in general I've gotten tired of it. Here futuristic stories (Jayne Castle, pseud.) have always had this element, but until the Arcnae Society books, her historial and contemporary romances didnt. Now, it's time to get back to my reading. I hope you all have a great Thursday.
