6:08 am

Is Chi-Town in the path of that snow storm?

Not that I know of, has been unseasonably warm

6:09 am

good news if you are not a ski fan

we have no mountains here :-)

6:11 am

lol, was thinking of x-c, my survival mechanism for winters in NE Ohio

ooohhhhhhhhhh, true

so, as you can now reckon, I am not a skier

6:16 am

Thou ha7 and then the Grinch took it all away..

6:21 am

all our ski hills are in panic mode,they have manaded to make a bit with the snow guns,and there has been a bit of natural stuff,but we are way below the average snowfall for this area and way above the normal temps

6:21 am

managed

6:24 am

ski slope operators are in seventh he6 when lots of snow is forecast

6:30 am

today's grid makes up for yesterday's nightmare

6:30 am

We'll see about that poodletoes. I might not make it very far. Hubby and son will do much better

8:44 am

CAn you do snorkeling this time of the year or is the water to rough?

9:57 am

poor Harry with sick child. hope it's just an upset tummy

9:57 am

9:57 am

9:57 am

amazing how that happens...

it's a bummer to be sick this close to Christmas

9:57 am

but gotta pack them both up in a couple hours to go get the 3 year old :)

9:58 am

it's the season for all the ickies.

9:58 am

we haven't all been healthy in two months. just viruses circulating and mutating all around the house

9:58 am

Hubby and I had the icks last Christmas. Thankfully we are healthy this year.

I've taken to spraying a ring of lysol around the kids. lol

9:59 am

lol mags

9:59 am

having but a single child(even if he is the demon from the 7th circle of hell) can be a blessing:)we almost had a second child when he was four but it was not to be

teenager crossy?

10:00 am

when we finall rid the house of germs I feel like I should bleach everything in sight

10:00 am

my kid picks up a bug at school and he hhas the sniffles for 12 hours,then the mrs and i are dying for a week

10:00 am

don't have littles around so we're not as likely to get all the ickies, but Hubz has a lot of contact with people...i just hand him the soap and kiss him later.

10:00 am

18 now magmom

10:00 am

I swear my 13year old daughter is the spawn of satan some days. Sheesh!

10:01 am

my oldest is just getting to tween-hood, so I'm gearing up

10:01 am

she turns 10 on monday

10:01 am

lord save the planet from 11-15 year old girls!..the weeping,the gnashing of teeth,the drama!!! run!

10:01 am

antibacterial wipes...use on doorknobs, phones, anything hands touch or comes in close contact with face

10:01 am

this is why I get flu shots every year - nothing like 20,000 college students!

10:01 am

Oh Harry. You have no idea what you are in for. I will pray for you

10:02 am

better batten down the hatches harry

10:02 am

10 years old is too young for tween-hood.

10:02 am

got a shotgun HH?

10:02 am

hah

10:02 am

My son will be 12 in about 3 months. *shudder*

10:02 am

My son will be 12 in about 3 months. *shudder*

10:02 am

If I had a front porch, I could sit there with a rifle

10:02 am

or maybe a place you can stay for 4 years with the wife and daught fight it out

10:02 am

flu shots r us!!

10:02 am

daughter

10:03 am

I wish Judi! That's when my daughter started with the attitude. Ugh!

10:03 am

i loved my boy when he turned 18...it was like a whole new human being!

10:03 am

he is new alright..:/

10:03 am

well my youngest daughter is only 2, so it's gonna be awhile till I'm done with all the drama

10:04 am

a grunting,sleeping texting money begging machine

10:04 am

my nieces are both in their 30's they still have the attitude!

10:04 am

so, if I can just get through the next 6 years I might actually like my kids again? LOL

10:04 am

in their 30's we call it "moxie" and it's a positive trait.

10:04 am

All that drama is far too much work for everyone.

10:05 am

no, one of them needs a swift boot in the butt!

10:06 am

There are days when it would be far easier to have them raised by wolves

10:06 am

my son is 22 but still has a lot of maturing to do (intelligence is not the same as maturity, unfortunately)

10:06 am

45!

10:06 am

same with my son sue,he is about 3 year behind his age bracket

10:07 am

lol mags. and this is when we all realize why some animals eat their young!

10:07 am

mine is all over the map, crossy, very mature in some ways and very immature in others

10:07 am

how many owrds today...I was told 188, but volleymom has 189 ?

10:07 am

UU, i'm afraid that's just being male.

10:08 am

indeed sure,my sons writing is at 5th grade,but he is in advanced autobody and is going to do co-op course for it next semester

10:08 am

seriously, I'm blessed with pretty darn good kids. They're smart, they tend to stay out of trouble and they are usually sweet and loving. If they just didn't have hormones...

10:08 am

I'm showing 188.

10:08 am

188 Ouw

10:08 am

well, there is that, lbd! at some point he will be somebody else's problem!!

10:08 am

thanks

10:08 am

so i think he will lean towards the trades vs the acedemics

10:09 am

time to list

10:09 am

good for him, crossy!

10:09 am

one thing to think of people..these children will be the one to decide what home we go in lol

10:09 am

That's okay, Crossy. There will always be a demand for skilled tradesmen/women.

10:09 am

nothing wrong with the trades! plumbing and hvac are really good trades

10:09 am

still don't know what mine is going to do, if he's going to get through college he has to learn better time management, and how to function when bored

10:09 am

at least he will be able to fix my car;)

10:10 am

lol,my son does his morning stuff all in the last 3 minutes!

10:11 am

no worries, UU. I didn't think mine would finish college, but he did and has his masters in physics.

10:11 am

lays there for 57 min groaning how tired he is(after only 10 hours sleep!)

10:11 am

<--- worries anyway

10:11 am

*UU, that's a mom's job...worrying*

10:11 am

he has 3 semesters under his belt and is skating with being on probation

10:11 am

mine is going right into the new college down the road when he is done with high school in year and a half

10:12 am

he will need to take second semester physics for the third time in the spring - I am teaching it (fortunately grading is not very subjective)

10:13 am

wow uu - he's going to be in your class?

10:13 am

unless he puts it off, harry

10:13 am

that must be hard also,being in moms class

10:13 am

I can't imagine having my kid in my class

10:14 am

it's a big class and I've already had his friends and children of my friends and colleagues in classes

10:14 am

I would think the mortification factor would at least be doubled in that case (on both parts).

10:14 am

you map out the building blocks of the universe and he is stumped then you go home and bake cookies

10:15 am

well, he wont have an excuse for not having his homework done.

10:15 am

he might do better with the building blocks of the universe; this is electromagnetic theory

10:15 am

would be like rembrant teaching his kids to paint lol..big shoes

10:15 am

and the homework is online and automatically graded

10:17 am

th 7= britt/canadian cinema

10:18 am

"Worrying is using your imagination to create something you don't want."

10:18 am

worrying about the future is like trying to empty the ocean with a tea spoon

10:20 am

i like the old japanese way of it yesterday is done,do not waste anguish on it,tomorrow is far away and a million things may happen to change its course,but today is here now and must be enjoyed to the fullest

10:21 am

i had my mother for advanced english in hs

10:21 am

Me too. Keep that thought alive. Hi Welki.

8:28 pm

Hi welki

8:30 pm

ugh ... dryer is making high pitched squeaking noises (cat is here beside me). sounds like death throes

8:31 pm

It's a belt Welki. That's what mine did before it gave up the ghost.

8:32 pm

i wish it was the belt, mol. we took it apart and it's metal against metal .. the dryer barrel is rubbing against the frame. but similar enough - it's only a matter of time

8:33 pm

it's served us well - i have no idea how long dryers are supposed to last, but this one is almost 13 years old

welki, we found a dead dried up rat in our drier... threw it to the curb!

the drier and rat that is :)

8:33 pm

hey mrp!

Hi mrp

hi seas!

worst part, sea, is shopping for a new one. i love the way the fancy schmancy ones look, but am drawn to the old faithfuls :)

8:35 pm

no, mrp .. just checked. still wednesday's

i think so too welki... is a bugger when a needed appliance does that just days before xmas... that is what happened to my microwave. I got a new one delivered 2 days ago

8:35 pm

I'm the same way welki, the more technical the more costly the repairs

bugger.... will try again

8:36 pm

Good night all.

hi and nite wht :)
