Hope everyone has a great day!!! Gem the kitchen looks great! Sure you don't want to come along with us this weekend? Can I call you chicken now?” 9:18:41 AM 1/15/03 “I just priced some cabinets last night. Yikes! I'm gonna have to cut back on the gear purchases as well! But I'm soooo gonna love it when its done!” 9:23:21 AM 1/15/03 “hahaha, nope I am not going, but I will hike monday or sunday. I did realize that I can't stand the cold in a 25 degree bag. I am way to cold for that. NOw, if it will be in the 30's at night, I will go. :) Right now it looks like it will be around 18 degrees (low). Crazy, I can just imagine you in that tent. Boy, I wish I could go just to see you freeze. If you don't watch out I may just change my mind. LOL” 9:25:50 AM 1/15/03 “WOW...thought you were my friend...want to see me suffer??? :( I am so excited about my first outing at this point I really don't care how cold it is. My only concern at this point is the pending snow and the being able to get there. Hubby won't let me take the Trooper (think it is leverage) ANYWAY...I'm going...I may freeze but I'm gonna have fun! Let me know if you change your mind.” 9:34:33 AM 1/15/03 “Thanks Treebait, that sounds like something to think of. I think that I will definitely have the doctor try to find a reason for it, because it is a problem interfering with her schoolwork and activities.” 12:40:58 PM 1/15/03 “It's official: ear infection.” 1:56:51 PM 1/15/03 “Bummer, Sass. Well I have no advice, other than that it helps if you can get Abby to sleep propped up somewhat so the fluid in the ear doesn't cause too much pressure. Sometimes that meant that I had to make like a reclining chair myself and hold her while she slept.” 2:24:12 PM 1/15/03 “Hope some medication will cure it quickly. Good luck.” 2:55:08 PM 1/15/03 “ahh, I am the first one today? Good morning yall! my coffee is ready, kids are almost in school, yeah..... oh!! forgot, I have to work today!” 5:41:17 AM 1/16/03 “Two mornings in a row without fresh snow to shovel! Looks like y'all south of New England are in for a little bit tonight. Ten degrees and windy today. Off to Brattleboro to buy art supplies and browse the local gear stores, so I'll probably come home with a much lighter wallet.” 6:18:28 AM 1/16/03 “Oooohh art supplies, that sounds fun Steiny. Yep, we have a little snow forecasted for tonight, and then again Sun-Mon, although I haven't seen the details on the later one yet. All I know is it was snowing like crazy on Monday night and I wanted to take the kids out hiking in it in the dark, but I had promised to go to a Board of Ed meeting, so there went that opportunity. The moral is learn to say NO!” 6:23:12 AM 1/16/03 “One good thing, I did an audit for a boy scout troop, and they gave me a shopping gift certificate, totally unexpected. Shopping!” 6:24:33 AM 1/16/03 “Good morning, Gemini, and all you other grerat people getting up. Today is better, it will be mostly sunny with highs around 70. Gemini, what were you doing in Stuttgart? Ich bin ein Stuttgarter! Have you hiked in the Black Forest?” 6:24:34 AM 1/16/03 “Today I work for a new company. We were bought yesterday. Today I will fart the the direction of my lame duck department head. Tomorrow he may be farting in my direction.” 6:42:39 AM 1/16/03 “Morning everyone! Colder than a witch's you-know-what out there... Medicine is doing it's job already! HooRay! =)” 6:43:52 AM 1/16/03 “nowslimmer! you're german? had no clue. I was out parting of course. I am from Marbach and STuttgart was the closest place to party :) Menschenskinder, von Stuttgart, huh?” 6:45:44 AM 1/16/03 “Good deal Sass. My kids always got diarrhea on antibiotics for their ear infection, and yeast infections in the diaper area. Augmentin used to make them a little hyper, too.” 6:48:52 AM 1/16/03 “Arhhhhhggggggg! Now the second daughter is sick! Strep is going around at school and this one has a fever and sore throat this morning.” 6:54:55 AM 1/16/03 “She's on Augmentin and it makes her retch immediately. It's been a trick getting it to stay down but we manage by mixing it with applesauce. Only problem with that is she has to eat all the applesauce and she's not very hungry right now. So, basically twice a day we have to sit on our child and force applesauce between her tightly closed lips. Parenting is such a blast sometimes!! ;)” 6:57:29 AM 1/16/03 “Sassafras - How is that ear infection today? LyndyS - I really understand how proud you were of your daughter. I've had a few good moments, too, like the smile my daughter was wearing the first time in HS when she announced , "Daddy, I got all A's." Then, in a "college bowl" type contest against teams from other HS's, she surprised her classmates with her automotive knowledge. Shesupplied a correct answer that none of the other students knew. The answer was, "the choke." I had been trying to explain to her how a car works. She actually remembered something that I had told her!" Too bad about another sick one. Gemini - I spent 17 months there in the Army Counter Intelligence Corps. Had a ball.” 7:02:07 AM 1/16/03 “Nowslimmer-I guess that explains why you are here, now. ;-)” 7:03:29 AM 1/16/03 “Better Nowslimmer, thanks for asking! LyndyS, seems like last time Abby was sick, yours were too. We should start a club...you can be president since you have more kids.=) I hope they get better quickly!” 7:05:09 AM 1/16/03 “so you're not actually German? :) I can't belive you spelt everything right (better then my spelling) forgot to answer: no, I have never hiked the black forest. Wasn't into hiking back then, wish I would've been though.” 7:05:34 AM 1/16/03 “Morning Yall!!!” 7:33:40 AM 1/16/03 “."Menschenskinder, von Stuttgart, huh?" Gemini ????????????? I'm an ape from Stuttgart? or maybe, I'm an ancient one from Stuttgart? I'm actually of Skandinavisch decent. Thanks. I/ve been dreaming of going back to hike in the Black Forest. All I need is a little money. Been looking at it on the net. Thanks. Next to the computer I have German, Spanish and English dictionaaries. And I use this a lot.” 7:37:21 AM 1/16/03 “Buenos Días, Pathman.” 7:49:19 AM 1/16/03 “I took a course in speed reading. I need a course in proof reading. Bye, I need a workout.” 7:56:44 AM 1/16/03 “Good luck on the workout, nowslimmer. Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it. I told my daughter that I was so proud that she made it to the finals and then got up on stage and answered most of her questions right and fast. She has a shyness issue, and managed to overcome it. :) Sass, yes it does seem like our kids are sick at the same time. This year has been better than last year, but still not what I would call good. Stuffing applesauce into Abby's mouth sounds so messy, LOL. My worst was always the eye drops for pink eye. My kids always got bruises from that because it would always turn into a wrestling match. Usually it took both my husband and myself to hold my oldest and put the drops in. Now I'm waiting to see if that athletic promise turns into action on the basketball court.” 9:04:22 AM 1/16/03 6:10:45 AM 1/17/03 6:38:27 AM 1/17/03 “Thanks for the shuttle launch link, Nowslimmer! I was such a space junkie as a kid. .” 6:47:01 AM 1/17/03 “NS, I like the fact that your links alwyas open another window. That way I don't lose my place in TT. :) Hope the weather is nice in Florida when my sister and I get there next week. My mom said a cold front was moving through this weekend, so there's hope for some high's in the 70's. It'll be a nice change from what Sass said - the weather here really is colder than a witch's you know what! High of a whole 19 degrees in the metro Detroit area.” 7:01:05 AM 1/17/03 “Thanks, smiley girl. "the mercury is not expected to return to normal until at least the middle of next week." Good luck and have a nice visit. Coldest Temperatures Of Season Coming To Florida” 7:26:05 AM 1/17/03 “ah... the Final Frontier... <G> uh oh. more caffeine.” 7:30:09 AM 1/17/03 nowslimmer “Not good news. Mrs. Stump & I are headed for the Keys tomorrow. Can't you do something to warm it up a bit?” 8:12:09 AM 1/17/03 “I think I need to visit Florida. I haven't been there since I was six! That's pre-epcot center.” 8:27:58 AM 1/17/03 Sassafras “Sounds like you should wait a week, seems like it's gonna be a bit nippy! (Drat, we already have our tickets!)” 8:31:06 AM 1/17/03 “good morning! Well, better late then never. I slept way too long today! Husband had to be at work late today so he brought the kidz to the bus. Nice for a change. Now let me get my java.” 9:03:02 AM 1/17/03 I did my best! 9:04:18 AM 1/17/03 “Six below at 5:30 A.M. Coldest night of the year, so far. Big moon setting in a crystal clear sky with Jupiter tagging along and Venus still in the southeast. I've camped in 15 below - it's not as much fun as it sounds. Getting up is REAL hard to do. Shut the stove down a tad too much - my dread of chimney fires - and it was so cool that the cat was off the bed and curled up next to the stove. Got a good fire going now, though. Place'll warm up in a jiff. Stay warm, y'all.” 4:48:54 AM 1/18/03 “It's 4 below here and the extended forecast doesn’t have a warm in it. This is quite a cold spell we’ve been in.” 5:16:27 AM 1/18/03 “Get Up Already!” 5:23:20 AM 1/18/03 “It's zero here and it's been awhile since it's been this cold. I like it though, feels like a real winter.” 5:31:59 AM 1/18/03 “Yo!” 5:33:22 AM 1/18/03 “Must hike, How are you feeling? Did the flu clear up yet? My brother had it last week and it seems to be going around.” 5:39:27 AM 1/18/03 “I’m on the mend, but still not great. I did go to work yesterday and it was exhausting. I’m just going to stay indoors and take it easy this weekend.” 5:48:12 AM 1/18/03 “Get some MoonAnd breathe deep O2 is responsoble for some of our immune system. Then come in a put a hair dryer on low heat and breathe it will simulate fever and cause anti bodies to produce. Eat a big baked onion and go to bed! Gaurenteed to make ya better !” 5:52:32 AM 1/18/03 “Rest is the best thing for that. I got a flu shot in the fall, but so far I didn't get the flu. I hope my luck holds out. The flu is terrible.” 6:08:59 AM 1/18/03 It's too cold! “It's the moon's fault. It's friggen cold herein Melbourne, Florida! I'm headed for Miami today, where it is forcast to be at least 6° warmer. I could still see that damn moon until the sun chased it out of sight a minute ago. Stay away moon and take this yankee weather with you. I'm not saying, "good morning," on a day like this. Have fun, if you can. Ahhhh, my coffee is hot and ready.” 6:34:48 AM 1/18/03 “Mmmmmm...coffeeeeeeeee” 6:42:26 AM 1/18/03 Jump to Page << prev
