Truth but I'm also putting my youngest kiddo through college too.

Money can't buy happiness but it's more comfortable to cry in a Lexus than on a bicycle. :)

You're right ... it can't buy happiness, but it does make the un-happiness more fun to deal with. :)

Money can buy happiness only when Lilith turns professional Domme.

^^^^ :thumbs:

The PHD would pander to your desire for independent acknowledgement that you're not some bimbo Texan transplant in Florida.

You are happy where you are doing things which impact the lives of thousands and they force money on you to do it.

Is the grant conditional?

Starts in may. I'd have to teach and research and write over the next 4 years. Now or never.

Tough call.

Ship I sailed on to Germany back in 1947; the Daniel Sultan.

Better than an early Liberty ship, DB.

Interesting enough, in 1958 when we came back from Japan, we missed sailing on the Sultan again. It was scheduled to dock in Yokohama a week after we left. Instead, we came back on the William Mitchell. It set a record (for the Mitchell) in making the best time ever from Yokohama to Seattle. :)

I am planning a vacation

:thumbs: ^^^^

I've got some errands to run this morning.

I got married :D

Congrats!!! on the marriage

I missed this yesterday.

Congratulations to you both.

Congrats to you both FWM!

Oh, that's so weird.

Today my nephew hit 40 years old. Pretty good considering the dude is a survivor of congenital cancer.

Congratulations to you and your new hubby. :hippy:

WOW! Congratulations FlirtWithMe!

That's terrific news and here's the very best to you and your new husband! He's a
very lucky guy to get such a terrific and lovely lady as his bride. God bless you both!

Congratulations, FHM.

Because of the lovely freezing rain/sleet/snow we received today, work for me has been cancelled. After sliding around where the grass used to be (I think it's under the ice) I can see why.

LS, just be careful. Been worried for all of the folks that have been plagued by severe weather. Even here, where it hasn't been nearly so bad, I know of several people that have taken spills ... some with some nasty ol' cuts, scrapes and bruises. :(

I'm originally from CT. Walking on ice is an art I'm quite familiar with. Unfortunately, I moved south long before I learned how to drive. Handling that I'd rather not attempt. I may be crazy when it comes to some things, but I'm not stupid.

I'm with you for the most part LS. although I will state this: if you're facing ice (or worse, snow on top of ice), you're better off not trying to drive. A lot of people learned to drive on snow. Ain't nobody but Zamboni drivers who learned to drive on ice. and look how slow they really go.

I am so stealing this.

Me, too, Scotz!

The driver here on ice are drug addicts.

The offspring unit hit 27 today.

^^^ that's because they don't know 'where to keep their furnace' :rofl:

The best thing for GG & LS is that they KNOW :car: on ice and snow is quite different. We have a lot of folks here that don't seem to get that concept. :banghead:




btw:
Great line GG. It will become classic. :line:

And for FWM .....

I'll tell ya' something, PF ...


:D

Dinner time here.

Here's something:
... Wind Chill Advisory remains in effect until noon EST Friday...

* wind chill... between 5 and 15 below into the evening hours
before falling tonight to around 10 to 20 degrees below zero.

* Temperatures... lows tonight zero to around five degrees below zero.

After reading what I have missed I am feeling sad, happy and cold for all of you!

It's JULY!

I'm not looking for tomorrow that's going to be in the 90's (F) again :hot: but if you want to see tomorrow, stay away from me.

Feeling beat tired & ready for bed. I'm a real Saturday night party animal for an 830p on a Saturday.

A bit warm this morning although not quite as bad as it had been. It'll sure be nice to get our new heat pump (air conditioner) back again Thursday morning.
