May I have your attention please? Would every one that started a 10-count tournament please register in all of the 10-count tournaments. As soon as a tournament has enough registrants it can be eliminated from the tournament’s waiting for players category.

At this point, all that needs to be done is to click on play the game, reload the page for as many games that are in that round, giving you a score of zero. I hope that everything will be eliminated due to no winner or lack of participation.if you would like taking a low score so that there is a winner in the tournament will be over Thank you

At the moment, am tuned to Judge Joe Brown. I like when he racks someone up for being a blithering fool. He's more fair than Judge Judy. She will find for the male if at all possible. Any woman who goes before her is likely to lose.

[Tam5115]

I'm having a cranky day. Sleeping is all messed up again since being sick. grrrr. I'm just not feeling great enough to just stay up, so I lie there awake all flippin' night and doze off about 7 or so. That means I'm sleeping the day away! I HATE it.

Grrr, crank and moan and whine... never mind me, I'll get over it. :mad:

OK, friends. I'm back and I've even :INhouseReading04: to catch up.

I won't even try to respond to everybody's posts BUT.... in my defense, I was not the one to put Kami in charge.... Grins did that when he left and unless I missed it,he hasn't relieved her of the job.

Bayou Lass, you KNOW if it'd been to me........ :kissyface4:

We're gearing up for tax season too. I wish they'd make an announcement about the next "incentive package"... We're fielding more calls from people wanting to know when their next check is coming. :francis:

Did not know there was an "incentive package." Is that true?

[PatC]

Did not know there was an "incentive package." Is that true?

Basically----NO. There was a rumor at the end of last year that there'd be another round of checks after the first of the year like the $600/$1200 (max.) that they gave out last year.

The best info I have right now is that instead of giving cash away like a broken water line, the money will be spent on infrastructure projects to encourage additional employment.

Of course, once the plan gets through both houses of congress who knows what it'll be. You know the saying, "A giraffe is a horse built by a committee."

:happy0207:

[Alibar]

Thanks. I think giraffe's should be thankful they don't have a mongoose head, if Congress built them. LOL

I'm so relieved to hear from you. I do tend to worry about y'all when you don't come back online when you said you would.... ESPECIALLY over holidays and even more especially when I know you've been traveling.

I don't blame you for staying where the weather is nice.... but next time you report in! Do ya hear me?!? :zm1:

On weekends (crowds) I dash in and out of the local dollar store for cleaners, etc. I get tired of being run over or blocked by all the baskets on weekends. I am staying home and cooking a sort of soul food meal for my 91 yr. old mom who just got out of the hospital. She has been yearning for "old time" food. My cousin picked me a "mess" of greens from his garden. So, I am having to try and remember just how I used to season all the different veggies, etc. You lose the touch if you have not done it in a while. I used to take a soul food meal into my workplace for all the guys. It was a hit.

I've cooked plenty of soul food over the years as grew up on much of it. My mom liked it and cooked it for herself, so I would have it, too. She cooked other items for my dad and brothers. My son also cooks it for himself now and then.

There is a soul food cook-off here a week from today. I will try to go if the weather isn't fierce.

Good luck! All they ever have around here is BBQ and Chili cook-offs. I just turned it all off and it is waiting for the gang to get back. Word got out and my ex even called and asked me to save some for him. Now if I can just remember how I made that yummy cornbread. I always made it in a big iron skillet and browned it for a second on top of the stove before popping it into the oven, but I cannot remember for sure the exact measurements. I have some mix, but it is not the same.

Well, I grew up in OK. I'll give you my cornbread recipe if you want.

Cornbread just isn't as good if it didn't cook in an iron skillet! I guess I can't picture it how you could "...browned it for a second on top of the stove before popping it into the oven...". I always wait till it's done (the center pops back into place when you press on it lightly with a finger), then I turn the skillet upside down over a plate (the bottom looks so pretty and brown with the crust) then slide it back in the skillet bottom-side-up and put it BACK in the oven for a few minutes to make sure the top is browned lightly too.


YUMMMMMMMMM...:kissyface4:

YUMMMMMMMMM...:kissyface4:

My mom grew up in Arkansas and most of her cooking skills were learned there. She definitely had the requisite iron skillet for cornbread, but, she heated the skillet on top of the stove with a little bacon grease in it... heated until very hot then she poured the cornbread batter in to sizzle up a storm, then into the oven for less cooking time than if she hadn't done the top of the stove procedure.
I've always preferred the recipe on the yellow cornmeal box.

Oh, maybe I should have said that I start my cornbread that way too. That's what gives it that yummy fried crust on the bottom.

[Alibar]

Oh, maybe I should have said that I start my cornbread that way too. That's what gives it that yummy fried crust on the bottom.

Not even sure how I learned she did that, because she wanted no one in the kitchen underfoot. When I married, I had to figure most about cooking by myself, but, as the years went by and I wanted to known certain things I would ask her. She never measured anything and it's not easy to calculate how much is 8 handsfull of flour... LOL My second husband taught me how to make gravy and he did not want any leftover to be discarded. Who eats cold gravy? He did! :shock:

She did teach me how to cut up a chicken and I used the information many times and thought it behooved me to teach my daughter the skill. Years later, I learned she never cut one up after that day. What??? :francis:

[texanne]

The first time I cut up a chicken (I invited my aunt to dinner), she pointed to a pc. of chicken and asked "Which pc is that?" I had no idea how to cut one up. I did not live near my mom in those days, and that aunt taught me a lot about cooking. She felt it was her duty...LOL.

[Tam5115]

Really quiet here today.

[nanabillie]

I always helped cook growing up because Mom worked and Daddy was sick. I did well I think. After we were married I remember one night I was so proud. My gravy turned out great! DH said, "Well, it should, you've made gravy every meal since we've been married". I should have disposed of him then. Then after several months, I made biscuits. Now that I look back I can't imagine why it took me so long. DH said, "Did you make these?". Yes, I said. "Well, I don't want any more of those old canned biscuits!" I knew then I had messed up. I once had a friend tell me she thought I was someone's grandmother reincarnated. I could not tell her how to make biscuits except to use a hand full of lard, about this much flour.etc.
And boy, Texanne, do I love a "mess of greens".

[nanabillie]

If you need a refresher on how to cut up a chicken, go to Youtube. Lots of demonstrations but none that I saw showed you how to cut it up and be able to get the wishbone. Or as we called it the pulley bone.

[Noni]

Hello all! I got my grandson's cold and have been laid low for a few days.

LOL, all this talk about cornbread is making me hungry!

Hope everyone is doing well, hope to be back on the board tomorrow morning for coffee.

Morning everyone. Quiet day here. I have been having my coffee and watching blue jays, red winged blackbirds, goldfinch, cardinals, chickadees, wrens, etc gobbling up feed from my feeders (and off the ground).....plus woodpeckers on the trees. I am going broke buying bird seed this year. I think my feeders are so popular because they are hanging from shepards hooks with golf umbrellas attached to protect them from rain. The birds catch on that they can still hang out and eat while it is raining. My "mess" of greens turned out perfect yesterday, and even the grandsons ate them. Next year I am planting a fall garden because I am so jealous of my cousin's. Hope things are well with all of you.

Billie, if I forget how, then I'm in serious trouble. LOL And getting the pulley bone is having an important piece of chicken. Do ya reckon the commercial cutters decided not to use it and have fatter chicken breasts?

Oooooooo.....just realized that the coffee was from Cafe Du Monde* and the beignets........too good to be true. Yummy!!!!!!!

Morning, all.

Please take a minute and check out the Larry Swearingen thread under Death Penalty. Evidence shows this man's innocence, and he is to die in 15 days.

There's a link there to the Texas Governor's Office, and a lot of emails might help if, after reading the thread, you believe he is innocent.

Thanks!

Morning, peeps! Hafta get out this afternoon and at least it's not bone-chilling cold at 52 degrees this morning. Finally took my electric heater out of the closet and it's much better temp wise in my little corner in this room.

The snacks are so good, PatC! Perfect for the morning.

You're welcome. Sunny and cold (relatively) here today too. My indoor/outdoor thermometer says it's 59* outside right now and 73* in, but something is wrong with my internal thermometer 'cause I'm cold!! I've always been the one who was too warm in most places during the winter but not this year for some reason!

You're welcome too, Ali. Maybe I should get my little heater out and put it right next to me. Then I could feel warm without DH having to strip down to his undies to be comfortable. :girl_haha:

Bring me some warm sunshine too, please. It's cold here and getting colder every day this week. Snow flurries, even. And this is supposed to be the South! :groan:

Sorry Roamer.... I did my cold, rain and snow dance for the south this year. It wasn't to make you miserable though. I promise!!!
Blame Proud Irish. It's her fault I want it to snow in the south all winter

[Roamer]

She's gonna come kick your butt, you meanie. I know she hates it as much as I do.

[Roenick]

She's gonna come kick your butt, you meanie. I know she hates it as much as I do.

She made fun of me for not coming to work for 2 weeks when it snowed here. She's the meanie... hence the snow dance.

You and pups can come up here with me, it's warm(er). And your hubby can too if he promises not to call me m'am.a

[Roamer]

'mam'a??? He called you mama? :grin:

[chefann]

I use mine everyday at work. Cold, cold, friggid cold weather the next few days for us up here.

BRRR!! DH is going to Texas for a car club meeting, and keeps rubbing my nose in it. I'll be here in the cold, cold house. But I may nudge the thermostat up a couple of degrees from 58. :71526:

Well, PatC... picture this... the heater is aimed at my feet up to my knees, then, the ceiling fan is for the rest of me! :0t31:
Warmish outside today. Dr says I need one knuckle replaced! That isn't going to happen. He gave me a cortisone shot right into that joint and now it is black and blue. The shot was VERY painful. He kept pulling my finger to get the serum in and around the joint I suppose. It's my mouse finger. grrr

Grins! Time is flying... :francis:

[Roenick]

'mam'a??? He called you mama? :grin:

:waitasec: My fingers have dyslexia.

[Tam5115]

It's going to be freezing all week here. It won't get above zero until Friday.

[nanabillie]

Oh Tam! I can't imagine that. I still think I would be able to handle that better than I do our 95-100 plus humitity in the summer. My thermostat is broken.

[Tam5115]

Oh Tam! I can't imagine that. I still think I would be able to handle that better than I do our 95-100 plus humitity in the summer. My thermostat is broken.

It's fine as long as you can stay inside. We made sure we had enough food and supplies as it's supposed to hit -25 in the next day or two.

My goodness, -20???? Do they close schools for that kind of weather, or are you all used to that? We'll get below zero this week, but probably no worse than -3 or -4. I don't think I could bear to live in -20 degree weather. I complain as it is. How do you do it? :friends3:

They have closed schools in the past for cold weather. I think it's gotta be -10 or -15 to close the schools. Yeah, not good to have the kiddies sittin' out in that at bus stops.

[KellyO]

Kam, call your boss and tell him to pick one up for you on his way in.

We are still at 14 in the Southern part of Wisconsin, with a -3 windchill, but it's suppose to drop down a lot today. How far North are you Tam?

No, they generally do not close schools due to temperature. BUT, the entire time I was growing up, my father did not allow us to go to school when it got really cold. He always said that the school could say whatever they wanted, his kids weren't going to wait for a bus in that.

I can tell you that we all became a bunch of dancers at those bus stops. Bundled up and jumping around like water on a hot iron! Keep moving or freeze on the spot.

Well Tam what you have now, we will be getting soon, Thursday it's not suppose to be above zero. I'm not looking forward to that, we have a large place that's hard to heat. I'll have to pull out the portable heaters.

I have frost coming in under my front door.Put some rugs there, my parents have one of those things you slide under the door for drafts, I want to make one because I don't want to spend the money to buy one. lOL I have the material, all I have to buy is the foam rubber to slide into it.

maybe I'll have to ask my parents where they bought theirs, I don't feel like pulling out my sewing machine right now. I think one would work really well for you if you are getting frost now.

I've got an old raggedy blanket tucked in there now. You can really feel the cold coming in at the bottom of the door. brrrrr.

I made some hot chocolate, with whipped cream! :yes2:

When I lived in Omaha I never left home in the winter without my PPE (personal protection equipment).:0t31: Ooooo, hot chocolate sounds good right now...gonna go make me some but I can't have whipped cream in mine 'cause I am at work and I'm not gonna find any here. :friends3:

When I go outside these days it's certainly not a fashion statement. I wear gloves and a hat now. When I was a brainless young one it was not cool to wear a hat. LOL

Doj, Look at a piece of the split foam they sell in hardware stores to slip around pipes. I was looking at them the other day for just that. I need to measure and see how much of it I need. I'm pretty sure I have enough pieces of "scrap" material already.

Look on line at Carol Wright's HERE (http://www.carolwrightgifts.com/Household-Helpers/Organizers-More/Draft-Guard-Roller/35758.cfm)... I saw them in their catalog.

Me too, texanne. I was pretty comfortable when I started reading, now I want to go crawl back in bed and surround myself with the dogs to warm up!

It's low 40's here and I can't even imagine what it'd be like to be BELOW ZERO!!!

And I have to get dressed and go to the tax office today! I don't know if I have enough clothes to pile on to keep me warm. :sad0119:

Mornin' Texanne!! :biggrin:

Morning! LOL...I don't know about the sky falling, but my checking account is falling from buying all the birdseed. I just checked the temp on the deck...42 degrees. It will warm up because the sun is out and it is on the west side of the house....the sun heats up that side from noon on. I watch the birds from the inside......floor to ceiling windows on that side of the house (faces the river). This summer when I am sweltering, you guys can post your nice DRY cool temps.

Yes, birds LOVE the birdseed. We always buy the big bags when we get it. Haven't seen to many birds lately though. Saw our pigeons yesterday in the drive. 19 degrees atm, feels like 5. Update this afternoon. :cool:

I think all your birds are in my backyard. I live in a major migration path, so we see them all. People come from everywhere for the "Christmas Bird Count" every year. I never go because I am not that "into it", and you have to get out in marshes, etc on cold days to count. Just not my cup of tea...or coffee. 19 degrees....brrrrrrr (cannot even think about 5).

58 degrees?!?!?!?!?

I'd be doing more than "nudge"ing that puppy!!! A not to gentle bump to no less than 68 degrees would be a MUST!
We have a programmable thermostat, and it's set to 58 or 60 during the day during the week, and after I lost my job I never reprogrammed it (seemed silly to do so when my income was lost). I bumped it up to 62 today and it helps a lot. I also have a neckwarmer and fingerless gloves I crocheted that I wear around the house, too.

Heck, the highest temp we have the thermostat set to is 68 - it comes on at 5:15 am for about 90 minutes, and again 4pm-10pm.

Hello to everyone. I just found out that the neighbor next door who I had been given beds and foods to her and children busted my picture window. When asked why they did it, because it was something to do. Now the mom is made at me because I called the police and the other neighbors are the ones who saw what happened. Some times it doesn't pay to be nice to people, Sorry to bum everyone out good new Roamer.

[Roamer]

I hope it works well for you, Ali.

I always wake up early like that, but always take a quick nap later on. Don't even need long, just a refresher.

[Bayou Lass]

GOOD WEDNESDAY MORNING EVERY0NE!!! I can see that just about everyone is still in the deep freeze. It was only 21 here this morning and I just about froze my butt off trying to defrost my car. Roamer, such good news for you!!!:friends3:

[Roamer]

Thanks, BL. I was starting to think this day would never come! :love0085:

[Claudia]

Good morning!!! :happy0207:

It was 26* here when I walked out to the garage. Brrrrrr!!! They were calling for snow tonight or tomorrow, but have since canceled it. If it's gotta be this cold, I at least want some snow. If we're not going to get any, then we can just move right on into Spring right now, please!!!

The cutest thing happened last night....
Holly has been trying to get Chloe to play with her, but Chloe just wouldn't. She would just walk away from her. Well, last night, Chloe decided to play back. It was adorable!!! Chloe was lying down the whole time they were playing, but she was growling & biting at Holly & pushing her over with her big 'ol head. Holly would go tumbling & hop right back up & go at Chloe again, yipping & jumping around her. Totally adorable. Chloe never once hurt her, so Holly felt perfectly comfortable playing with her. I was thrilled.... I have been waiting & hoping they would play eventually. Spike wouldn't play with Chloe. He'd get her going & as soon as she tried to play back, he'd run & hide under the coffee table. Chloe would be left standing there wondering what the heck happened!

[Claudia]

Oh.... and I don't know how many of you know, but my SO lost his job a couple weeks ago. He is right this minute at a job interview for a job he really, really wants. Ya'll cross your fingers for him please!!!

Claudia, so cute about Holly and Chloe. Good fortune to your SO and the job. )))))))

Thank you! He's been in there for an hour - I hope that means it's going well! He's supposed to call me the second he is done!

[Roamer]

Good luck to him, Claudia! Mine is working, but it's awfully slow right now.

I love it about your babies playing! I was hoping they would.

The first time Romy ever played with Jack, I ran for the camera, it was so danged cute! Jack is all sprawled out on Romy's back.

Raven puts up with Jack, but let them be playing and Romy cries, she's right there. She's raised Romy since he was about four months old, and he's almost 12, so he's her one and only baby. I guess she just decided Jack's going to live here, so she'll let him stay.

She's almost 17 now, and healthy as she can be, but every time she sleeps, I'm down there checking to make sure she's still breathing.

I'm totally over protective of all my babies, DH says. He loves them as much as I do, but he's always saying, "Hon, they're dogs. Let them be dogs."

[texanne]

Good morning, everyone! Roamer...glad you got rid of the vac thingy. Hope you do well. Claudia...good luck to your SO on the job interview. These are tough times, but we will all get through them.

Not bad here today. Cold (for the gulf coast), but sunny.

[Roamer]

Morning, Texanne, and thanks! I feel so good without it I'm cleaning like a maniac. Just talked to DH on the phone and he told me the house will still be here tomorrow, so not to overdo today. I know he's right, but it feels so good to bend over and even walk without getting tangled up in that danged thing.

It's sunny here, too, but cold and getting colder all week.

[texanne]

Roamer, take it easy....your hubby is right. I know the feeling, tho. The first time I could walk by myself after tearing up my knee, I wanted to join a foot race. Even going up and down the stairs felt good.

[Claudia]

I was really hoping so too, Roamer! Chloe loves to play, but like I said, Spike never would play with her & I am so glad Holly will! Of course, Holly is a complete nutcase. She is hands down the funniest puppy I have ever seen. She gets crazy... running around in circles all through the house. She likes to run across the couch, from arm to arm. The other day, she was going a little too fast & ran right off the end. Poor little thing... I couldn't help but laugh, though. She stood up & looked around as if she couldn't figure out what happened!

Roamer, I have found that since Chloe turned 9, I keep looking for something to be wrong with her. The last time we were at the vet, she called Chloe a "senior dog" - well, that did it - now I am completely paranoid. Even though most of my dogs have lived to be well in their teens, I find I worry about her constantly. I hate it, but I am terrified of losing her. The vet told me she was very healthy, but I am a worrier. :z0tdntknw:

[texanne]

My Boston is 7 1/2 hrs old, so I know the feeling. I have had one live to be 15 yrs. old, but I am already worrying about this one because I see the first signs of grey in his muzzle. He still acts like a goofy pup, so I take comfort from that. I have vowed that this is my last one.

Yeah, Chloe is white, so I can't see the grey in her muzzle, but her one brown ear, I noticed recently, has been looking less brown. It's starting to blend in with the rest of her more. :girl_sad:

Chloe still acts playful, too, but sometimes after she gets especially crazy, she ends up limping. Just a slight limp, and it goes away in an hour or two, but a few years ago, she could go all day & not get hurt or be sore from it.

BTW, I LOVE Bostons! So cute!!! :basic45:

[KellyO]

Oh that is so cute, Claudia! I'm so glad Chloe is playing with Holly now!!! Yaay!!! More pics please!

[Roamer]

Sometimes Raven can't get up without her back legs giving out. She just lays down for a minute and tries again. My heart aches every time that happens.

My three go in and out all day long (DH says I have them spoiled rotten), but yesterday I thought she was out and walked all over the yard looking for her (and it's a huge yard), almost crying, afraid she was out there and couldn't get up.

Finally I looked around the house again and she was laying beside DH' bed. I just knelt down and hugged her, and telling her how happy I was to see her, even though I know she can't hear a word I say anymore.

[PatC]

I GOT MY WOUNDVAC OFF!!!! :basic44::basic44::basic44:



Congratulaions!! Great News.

[COLOR=" Navy"]Hello to everyone. I just found out that the neighbor next door who I had been given beds and foods to her and children busted my picture window. When asked why they did it, because it was something to do. Now the mom is made at me because I called the police and the other neighbors are the ones who saw what happened. Some times it doesn't pay to be nice to people, Sorry to bum everyone out good new Roamer.

That is a bummer, doc. I guess I'd have avoided the flack about calling the cops by saying my insurance company insisted on a Police Report.

:022:

[PatC]

I hope it works well for you, Ali.

I always wake up early like that, but always take a quick nap later on. Don't even need long, just a refresher.

I can do that too, Roamer... just 30 minutes or so and I'm bright-eyed and bushy-tailed again. DH doesn't see it that way. He goes in after work to take a "nap" and he gets completely undressed, gets into the bed under all the covers and goes to sleep for a minimum of two hours... more if the dogs (or I) don't wake him up.

:frustratedf:

[PatC]

Oh.... and I don't know how many of you know, but my SO lost his job a couple weeks ago. He is right this minute at a job interview for a job he really, really wants. Ya'll cross your fingers for him please!!!

I'm getting a late start here, so I don't know if you posted more about this, but for what it's worth, I'll cross my fingers for him.

It sounds like your Raven is at about the same stage as my Maggie. Maggie is 13 now, virtually stone deaf -- which DH tries to deny saying she's just ignoring us -- and has a hard time getting up, especially on these laminate floors we had put in. I actually worry about DH when her time comes for the Rainbow Bridge.

When we first got the flooring and realized she had such trouble, we got some area rugs... especially a long runner in front of the couch where she prefers to lay. Last night she was across the room and tried to get up and slid back down. DH said, "We need to get a big rug for this room." And he says I spoil the dogs. :girl_haha:

[Claudia]

Well, SO had a very good interview. It's between him & one other guy. Oh, I hope, I hope, I hope..... :innocent0001:

[Roamer]

I hope so too, Claudia!

Raven will be 17 in April, Pat. We also have laminate floors.

I worry about my DH, too. He simply adores Raven, and she her daddy. I know he wouldn't let her suffer is she was bad off, but if she just leaves us sometime...it will break his heart completely.

LOL, none of mine prefer to lay anywhere. They all have their nice, comfy beds, and end up in them at night, but any other time they just sprawl anywhere they want, and we just step around them like the suckers we are.

Raven has gotten into the habit of laying between the kitchen and dining room in the late afternoons...about dinner time...so I'm handing him hot plates from the kitchen (over her) so I don't have to step over her with them in my hand. My balance isn't good, and I'm so afraid I'll spill something on her.

They really have us trained well, I'm telling you, but they're all really good babies and deserve all the love we can give them.

[Scampi]

Good Evening all.

[look4u]

OUCH! Enroute home from bridge game this afternoon my middle finger on rt hand popped out of place. Never happened before. Can hold it a certain way and no pain... otherwise my whole arm feels sick. What a revolting development, grrrrr. Managed to call before dr office closed and can go in 9:30 in the morning. Typing one finger.

On Animal Planet was said Puerto Rico has a monumental problem with stray dogs. Sounds so awful for that small area to be overrun with dogs who have to fend for themselves,

I've heard that before about Puerto Rico, Ali. If I remember correctly, there are some groups in the U.S. that are going over there on rescue missions for them.

Think your finger just came out of joint, hon? Now you can't shoot anyone the bird for awhile. :smile:

Oh we really are alike. All four of our dogs lay anywhere they want too, the doxies especially like to lay in my lap! When I sit in the recliner I end up with a doxie on either side, Harry curled up between my feet and Maggie on that runner in front of the chair and couch (they're sitting at an angle next to each other). In the evenings, John is usually in that chair and she's right there.

At night the little ones are in bed with us and Maggie goes back and forth between sides of the bed. When I have to get up in the middle of the night I have to turn on my book light to see where she is. She has grown up with me stepping over her but, like you my balance isn't what it used to be. She doesn't hear me coming anymore so I always have to touch her lightly to make sure she knows I'm there, then she just freezes in place so I can step over her. LOL

Ha! I had a senior moment...or maybe a day or so. Yes, I meant 7 1/2 YEARS old.

[texanne]

I had to put a flannel sheet over my comforter because the Boston and Chihuahua keep sneaking on my bed when the sun comes through the window and taking their "sun" nap. I forget to move their beds into the middle of the floor where THEIR sunshine can find them. I found it easier to keep throwing the flannel sheet into the washing machine than constantly checking to see who is napping on my comforter.

[Roamer]

That's smart of you, Texanne. My daughter does the same thing.

When the kids were young, all our dogs (usually pits back then) slept with them, but when we moved to Florida in 1973 we only had Princess, and the sand fleas were so bad we had to make her stay off of everything.

Since then we haven't let them on the furniture. I'm a big dog person, so all mine are pretty good size, and they all shed like crazy.

Jack's a little smaller, but I've never let Raven and Romy on the furniture, so I can't let him, either. I wish I could let them sleep with me, but it's too late to start now, and I do make sure their beds are comfortable and clean. I'm feeling guilty sitting here typing this, believe it or not. :hide:

I love California weather.....especially the San Diego area. The only time I was ever uncomfortable was in September, when it was still a little warm at night.

My grandsons used to be Monster Jam freaks. We had Monster Jam birthday parties with each kid getting their favorite truck, etc. Now the younger two are getting into it, and we are having a Monster Jam party for the one turning 9, with all atendees going to the Monster Jam in Houston. They always had to have the pics with the drivers, autographs, etc. I will not go. I don't care for it, but will buy tickets, etc for the boys. I cannot believe we are going through the Monster Jam thing for the second time. lol

The only good thing is there is no precipitation forcast and that's good news. When it rains when it's this cold here we have a problem with ice and I don't want to be without heat for sure. I'm really worried about my friends caught up in the mess up North, ya'll stay warm and safe if you have to be out and about.

Roamer, good news about your wv, must feel great, but you make me feel guilty cleaning, take it easy.

I enjoyed going to see the monster trucks, too. Years ago when the boys were young we took them to the SuperDome... KC got a picture too, signed by the Big Foot people. He kept it on his wall till he moved out after college. I don't know what ever happened to it after that.
