Good morning Lurkers :) Glad to see everyone in the bad weather path made it through smoothly last night. The DH will be driving straight into all that later today headed for MS. I sure don't miss Spring in the South!

Another busy day ahead as camping season is closing in on us. Phones are ringing off the wall now so I better get moving, get dressed and grab another cup 'o joe before I try to talk to anyone.

Hope everyone has a great day! As a side note -- I feel like my vaping is all on the right track so far. Still quite difficult with coffee or after meals, but I'm getting there! For me to have only had 1 pack of analogs versus smoking an entire carton in a week is huge! The DH (who dumped the analogs 20yrs ago) could not be happier with my progress too. Happy Dance!!

Congrats BB :banana: every day gets a little easier! Have a great day! Hope you DH travels aren't too bad.

    Good morning lovely lurkers. :wub:

    Glad everyone made it through the storms...hope they are getting some much needed rest now.

    Supposed to rain here today, but so far it's just been very light...hope it stays that way.

    Time to grab some more coffee and finish getting ready...hope everyone has a great day. :)
    Good morning Angel :wub:
    Hope you have a smooth day ;)

    Good morning BB :wub:
    Sounds like you are in for a busy day!

    One pack instead of a carton is awesome! :thumbs:

    Good morning,lurkers:wub:
    Good morning Fran. :wub:

    Good morning Fran:wub:
    Good morning Bobbi. :wub:
    I thought about you missing your internet at the apartment. :(

    Good morning Fran, Bobbi and all lovely and handsome Lurkers :wub:




    :lol: Bet you two are sleeping now ;)
    We had some storming but it's pitch black out and I'm not out on the deck :laugh: From what I can tell our tornado watch ended at 5 a.m. :unsure: Looks like dads area got hit bad.
    Good morning Dale. :wub:
    I've been up for about an hour. (trash day :laugh:)
    I predict a nap in my near future. :lol:

    Have you heard from your dad yet?? Hope they're okay.
    I saw one tiny stick in our yard. I don't see any damage looking out the windows, will inspect more later, but I don't think our area had much.
    The wind was stronger earlier in the evening than when the actual storm arrived.
    I was up reading not really storm watching until it got close.
    That was when I got online to see if you or OBG had checked in.
    Rita never stirred from that position when the storm got here.
    You can't hear a whole lot in the basement though.

    The wind whistles through the basement window (if it's strong enough), and it sounds like a creepy ghost. :laugh:

    I heard from DH, and he said the storm was no big deal up where he was, so hopefully Joey didn't have any problems either.

    Good morning,dale:wub: 40's again for us but with rain today.
    So glad it's not snow!!
    40's feels pretty good after it's been cold for a long time.


    Good morning everyone. :wub: thank goodness you guys are through the bad weather for now. Hope you getting some much needed rest. The play by play puts butterflies in my stomach.


    Thank you, OBG. Will look into that this evening. It looked like a lot of sodium? 330mg per 1/4 c prepared. Is that a lot?
    I'll be the guinea pig and let ya know what I think ;) Then we'll get Dale to try it. Bwahaha :D



    You are a very kind person. :) I hope that you are right.



    She looks so relaxed. Bet her momma was not, at that time. an extra hour of daylight is awesome! I don't know about you guys, but in recent years I'm really feeling the time changes. Lasts like a week or so. :nah:

    Have a great day everyone. :)
    She was very relaxed. She's scared of the storms, she does better if I take her to the basement.
    It wasn't bad here at all.

    I feel it for about a month as well. :(
    Statistically, there are more heart attacks that occur the Sunday night, to Monday morning of the time change weekend, than any other one day of the year...or so I read in an article a year or so ago.
    We're supposed to ease into the time changes by altering our bed/wake times the week or so before.

    Good morning Sara :wub:

    Your transition period only lasts a week or so? Mine lasts at least a month :lol:
    Me too!! :lol:

    Good morning lovely lurkers. :wub:

    Glad everyone made it through the storms...hope they are getting some much needed rest now.

    Good morning Angel. :wub:
    Hope you have a great day, and you keep an eye on your weather too. Your area had the big old red target on it today for potentially strong storms. :nun:

    Hope you have a great day too!!
    Sounds like you're doing very well transitioning away from the stinkies!! :banana:

    I'm heading off to eat something, and get some more coffee.
    I feel kinda hung over like Paul did the other morning. :laugh:

    Good morning Lori :wub:

    I slept through our weather as usual ;) Thunder has to really shake the house to disturb me.
    Have no idea about dad and Mary, didn't think to check what went on in Arkadelphia :facepalm: We haven't been able to stay in touch since he moved because he messed up his iPad somehow and is locked out of it.

    Going grocery shopping soon then I hope I do those closets.

    I prob could have had I just gone to sleep. :laugh:
    Oh, okay. Hopefully they're okay. :)
    Uk oh, maybe messed up his password too many times. :( Maybe they can unlock it at an Apple location. :unsure:

    I could make a run to the store too. :nah:
    Guess I should get moving as well.

    Lunchtime check in...so far no rain, just windy still...but the radar is showing the wet stuff heading this way...just hope it's not right when I have to head home this evening.

    Lori, glad things were okay there and no damage...and happy Rita slept right through it all.

    OBG, sorry about your tree...but glad it was just a few limbs and not the whole tree.

    Hope DH has safe travels...and that's awesome how you've cut down...just remember that every one not smoked is a victory! You're doing great! :thumbs:

    Safe travels heading home Angel. :)

    Lol's, poor Dale. That's a fun job. Bet you're glad it's behind you!!

    No, I don't think it's quite bike weather OBG. Did you see the forecast for Sat.?? :facepalm:

    Sorry you're so pooped Joey (I am too, despite my nap earlier), glad you didn't get bad storms or damage!

    BB, I'm soooooo thankful I don't work with the public!! Just on a rare occasion these days.
    I do payables, so I don't have to help customers, other than backup for the gal who answers the phones when she can't get to it. Mostly those calls I just transfer to whoever they need. :)

    Ready for a quiet evening.

    I maybe be later getting on tomorrow night.
    I have a visitation to attend for the father of a guy I work with.
    He was just 70 years old. :( He'd gone into the hospital for a carotid artery procedure, and after the procedure, his organs just didn't wake back up/respond/bounce back, I can't remember what term they used.
    Every day is precious. :nun:
