The Lurker Thread

[Rat2chat2]

Goodness! My screen shows you posting at 1 am, , sure hope you’re getting some sleep now.

I wish! I was up and down all night. Not sure if it is the weather. We had light snow flurries today, but they never amounted to anything. Did not keep me from going to the dollar store. heehee I just told Perry I was ready for bed. I stayed up today in hopes that I can get straightened out. Fingers crossed.

I think you need to tell Perry to go to sleep as well.

It's been one of those weeks already, and there are 3 days to go yet. Not so much the students, but the parents are driving us absolutely nuts!

I think you need to tell Perry to go to sleep as well.

I wish I could sleep like him. He wears a CPAP (just like my ex), and he is asleep while his pillow is still cool.

He also sleeps 8-9 hours straight, and I think he would sleep longer if nature did not call so loudly.

I think I take naps all night. Got up a couple of hours after I went to sleep, and I have been up reading and waiting on a load of wash to dry. Why hasn't someone invented bib overalls with removable hooks or silicone? The sound in the dryer is driving me crazy. (not that there is a lot of difference from my usual state).

Good afternoon, dale.

Hey Fran.

Gosh today is flying by!

I have been a little busy though. It’s quite warm here today, weather app says 59 and it’s sunny finally!

Quite windy tho’, Paco is driving me nuts barking at the rattling door

 

[FranC]

32 and snowing here. I've been mostly reading today.

I’ve been reading a lot this afternoon. Sure don’t envy you that snow!

Mornin' all.

Mornin' all.

Good morning retired, have a good day.

Good morning. Went to sleep easily but did not stay long enough. Oh well. The coffee is tasting great this morning. I am getting a new Mr. Coffee Sunday. I bought myself a Christmas present.

Perry likes plain black coffee in a big pot. I like single cups and sometimes flavored, so I got a maker that does both.

As I may have mentioned, Perry drinks expensive bourbon, and I don't drink at all. I joined an ABC lottery here in my county, and guess who won? So today I am one of the 600 that gets a chance to buy an allocated alcohol. My understanding is that it is a really expensive and collectible bottle that is marked down. You only have so long to pick it out. I guess that is why I am up early. I'll let you know what I get. I have tasted some of his, and they all taste YUCK to me. He could give me a bottle of rubbing alcohol from Walmart, and I wouldn't know the difference. He literally likes the taste and sips a little at a time. Thank goodness we don't both drink and collect. He bought a bottle of something the other day that was $250. For Christmas, I bought him a $90 bottle of something only because they told me it was allocated, and I liked the bottle. I pick out clothes based on cost and color, so I guess it only stands to reason that I would select liquor by the design of the bottle.

Oh well, that's my Friday morning. Happy Fri-YAY to all!

Mornin' y'all.

Yep. Once your taste buds get a little taste of the good stuff, bourbons like Jack Daniels are not worth your time.

Good morning Rat2 and retired.

Rat2 they make a little rechargeable lamp shade for nice looking bottles, you should try one


Oh retired, guess I’m just one of the uncouth masses. Crown Royal or Jack is fine with me. Although I prefer other things like rum’s.

Good morning all

Gosh, Dale, I'll take those 50s any day. We had 30's the other day with snow and rain in the same day. That has made quite the mess. Went out and shoveled wet, heavy slop after work as the temps were going to drop and I didn't want it to freeze. Supposed to get another couple inches tonight into tomorrow. I saw a couple days in the 40s next week.

We don't have overall bibs here, Rat, but the ties on hoodies, gym shorts and whatever else drive me crazy. lol I agree with the fresh meats. Last time we were at our local butcher we checked into getting half a cow for the freezer.

Good evening Sara.

Well you probably don’t want to know that we’ve been in the middle of 60’s the last two days However starting Saturday night we’ll be in the mid to low teens through Sunday and Monday, that’ll feel bad after this past week.

 

[retired1]

Yeah, we topped 70 today. Sunday night/Monday morning they're predicting our first hard freeze. What's crazy is by next weekend, we'll be pushing 80!
