I wish I could....a couple of peeps in particular

If every day you say to yourself, "Tomorrow I'm going to die.", one day you'll be correct.

My neighbors haven't earned the honor of me in less clothing. ;) Though I see the guy across the street in his boxers and t-shirt regularly during the summer.

They don't appreciate what they're missing!

But have we? (Once again, I mean...your photo threads are numerous. And well-loved.)

Might could be. ;) And that's kind of you. Thank you.

The mistletoe is hung

^^^^ Good idea! :) :x:

I've got to usher at church this morning.

As well-hung as the stockings?

Thanks fellas. I'm clear!!

The sedatives they gave be beforehand did have an interesting amnesic effect...don't remember huge blocks of time after I awoke from the procedure. That was fun. The worst part was actually the day prior, trying to drink 64oz of vile mixture...ugh.

Looks like a good time was had by all!

How'd you do?

We had a good time yesterday visiting twelve shut ins. Had a great time. These are some really terrific people who struggle because of age and/or physical difficulties ... but who are really some of the warmest and nicest people you could ever want to meet. :thumbs:

Ice storm hit us yesterday knocking out our power from 10AM until about 10AM this morning (24hour outage). Without power, our basement flooded with maybe 5" of water. Fortunately, a friend brought over a generator today and we've drained the basement of water (although more is coming in, the restored power is letting our sump pump take care of it). Then our old sump pump froze and so we had to install a new one. Fortunately, the old one had lasted long enough to get rid of almost all the water and so we got the new one in with little additional damage. Anyway, from 10AM yesterday amid freezing temperature, our house dipped only from 73 to 61 when the power came back on today. Without power, of course, no router or modem and so no pixies this morning. Hopefully no more heavy rains and freezing temps building up ice on the trees and lines ... and least not in the immediate future. We're ready for a break.

Sorry to hear about your testing, DB. :( I suffered much less last night myself. I'm a bit too close to the Lake now so the all night rain with 55 knot gusts took out my power for only 23 hrs, (21:00-20:00). No water damage but the wind cooled the house pretty quick. My biggest problem was waking up with a cold nose. Guess that makes me a healthy dog. :blink:
