Who will be the last person to add to this "never ending" thread?

[Marg Shurtliff]

All this racing talk . I get lost .
23 posts since here yesterday . Managed 3 hours and 6 minutes with the first one and just 48 minutes with the second one . Won't get much today .
Hey , Susan , we got a ton of wet snow last night . Took forever to melt enough to go . Took an hour and a half to get to church .Traffic was about a quarter what it usually is . I had to take many tries to even get out of my driveway . Wouldn't have but a man who had just passed by across the street came back and crossed over and would tell me when both ways are clear and I could try . 3 or 4 more tries got me ouy=t . Needless to say I was late for church but I made it ! About an hour and a half after I got home Doug did my snow . I rolled my windows down and the snow stayed upright and when I tried to push it out most fell inside . I got covered , my coat and my pants . Took forever to dry off .

[Patrick Russell]

It happens. I get lost when talking about lots of things.

I get lost, too, in racing talk. Only one cousin [of those that I am close to] is into it [cuz her hubby is] so there is no need on my part to have to keep up with it, so I don't. Other sports like baseball, football and basketball my family really loves so I try to keep track of things. Ex. I feel so proud of myself for knowing why my cousin Michelle is excited about the TREES. And I feel proud of myself for knowing that I need to tell my mom about the TREES cuz she loved them, too. And I know enough to be concerned if the TREES and the Dawgs get into the final round of the 'big dance' cuz there will be BIG discussion in the famly. I can't begin to describe how smart I feel cuz I know what TREES mean [the Sycamores aka Indiana State University won a Basketball game and will go to the NCAA tournament - 4 relatives are ISU grads] and to know that cousin Mel's alma mater is nicknamed the Dawgs. And Mom refers to the NCAA final four as the big dance. I am so not into sports other than skating, skiing and swimming.

[Patrick Russell]

NASCAR, rugby, and curling are about the only sports that I have found that can keep my interest and those I don't even watch that much.

[Glenda Harvey]

Hi Everyone :smilies0295:

[Patrick Russell]

Hello

[Glenda Harvey]

I should probably be saying good night. I really am trying to curtail the amount of time I spend on the internet. So good night everyone :smilies1098:

[Patrick Russell]

Again sleep is silly and yet unavoidable :(.

[Gina Stevenson]

Being mostly a trivia thread here, may as well add once again -- while up for a pit stop 4+/nearly 5am -- [lost in the crash? ;)] that about all I know re Indianapolis 500 is that I fell asleep at it. Tired to fall asleep amidst all that noise! But then the tedium of going in circles ... might think even a driver could be tempted to fall asleep, too.

I have been to a few stock car races when I was young, and I have heard the roar from miles away! I cannot imagine the constant thunder of those cars today.

I wouldn't be able to sleep with the noise, but I agree that it seems tedious to watch people go around in circles over and over

[Gina Stevenson]

Yes, when a teen went to a few stock car races, tho't it was neat seeing those '69 [et al] Camaros, and ended up w/one years later. However, today I'd not go near such a place ... cannot stand such loud noises!

Susan, after awhile that noise becomes a drone ... and when tired, bored of circuitous meandgerings, it was easy to fall asleep. Was watching it from one of the ground areas, not bleachers, so it was easy to lie down on the blanket instead of staying sitting up, and then ......... ;)

[Charlotte 'Mercer' Burton]

I would just like to announce that falling asleep at 2 AM is a bad idea when you have to wake up before 6 AM.

[Steven Burton]

I have come to the conclusion that R2-D2 was really the Sith Lord and that Palpatine was a his pawn!

[Patrick Russell]

Are you sure it wasn't C3-PO making it look like was R2-D2?

[Marg Shurtliff]

Steven and Patrick seem to have their own language . lol .

Just 14 post this time and I barely got 37 minutes being last . That should improve as the week goes on .

[Glenda Harvey]

Hello :smilies0295:

[Marg Shurtliff]

Hello to you , too, Glenda

[Susan Unger]

Highschool friends who still live up north have been posting their snow pics [we just got loads of rain]. Normally, I would be insanely jealous but I am trying to let it go.....

[Charlotte 'Mercer' Burton]

Steven and Patrick seem to have their own language . lol .

Oh man, you think it's bad on NazNet. You should see them in person. I can't even follow their conversation half the time.

[Patrick Russell]

Charlotte you're welcome, we do what we can.

[Gina Stevenson]

Not only is the title of the thread missing in all the posts, but everyone's name is missing ... found this thread in the fun forum by the # of posts made to it ... highest one there.

ALSO, there's a crazy sliding thing in every post underneath the post that can be moved waaaay to the right, tho' there's nothing to be seen there. In fact, if it's moved just a fraction of an inch, the post disappears. Something's wrong! Hope NazNet's not on its way to yet another CRASH !!! Yikes!

OK, was thinking this slide bar was in every post, as I'd seen it so many times; looked again, after posting this, and it's in many, but not all. More weird than if it were in all of them.

[Steven Burton]

Are you sure it wasn't C3-PO making it look like was R2-D2?

I was told C3-PO had his memory erased after episode 3. So, my theory about him was kind of disregarded.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Oh man, you think it's bad on NazNet. You should see them in person. I can't even follow their conversation half the time.

Thanks , Charlotte . Nice to know I'm not alone .

Just 7 posts this time around and I had two of them getting 4 minutes with the first but a whopping 6 hours and 49 minutes with the second .

[Glenda Harvey]

Today was a warm sunny day but the last storm the weekend before last was so big there is still snow on the ground. It seems strange.

[Marg Shurtliff]

We are getting another winter storm today . At least 4 to 6 inches and it sounds like more . And more again tomorrow . Spring where are you ? I need you !

[Gina Stevenson]

Still not seeing half of what I'm supposed to see here ... and only could do the "laugh" button a couple of times this trip here because of knowing where it's located, not because the words show up.

ANYONE? What's up?

[also, just blank boxes at bottom here, so you have to know where to click w/o words there, too]

EDITED TO ADD: Even in the drop-down menu at the top of the browser [in address box], main page names are missing!

NOW, tho't of another possibility: browser hi-jacked, instead of Firefox having some big problem with this newest version ???

[Patrick Russell]

I don't know...personally I'd be willing to guess C3-PO had a backup system.

[Susan Unger]

Thanks , Charlotte . Nice to know I'm not alone .

I didn't post much after dinner. Felt bad, like I had abandoned this thread. But, I am noticing that if I am off the computer at night and just play my flute at night my insomnia isn't so bad.

Saw a robin yesteday.

Could get up to 3 inches in 48 hours. UGH!!!! oh my head!

[Patrick Russell]

There have been days here where windows have been opened already, including today.

[Glenda Harvey]

Today and yesterday were warm enough for me to start walking on my lunch break again and tonight I am going to a Zumba class.

[Steven Burton]

Watch out for the rain coming!

[Charlotte 'Mercer' Burton]

If y'all are having trouble with Firefox, switch to Chrome. It's a beautiful thing.

[Steven Burton]

Now if I could only get them to pay her every time she talks about it.

[Susan Unger]

Watch out for the rain coming!

Not looking forward to this!

[Steven Burton]

Oh I love rain, but not to much of it I prefer just a day or two of it ever couple f weeks. The smell the sounds ah just makes me think of relaxation.

[Susan Unger]

The ground is already saturated from the melted snow, now the rain is coming. Hopefully the creeks and river won't overflood their banks.

[Steven Burton]

Now you are seeing why I dislike snow. Besides the cold it leaves a giant mess around.

[Marg Shurtliff]

16 posts this time but I sure didn't fare well being last . 16 minutes the first time and 6 minutes the second one .
Just as I expected our 4 to 6 inches of snow is now 8 to 9 . I still want spring and I want it NOW !!!!

[Steven Burton]

Do, y'all get J.G. Wentworth commercials in Canada?

[Marg Shurtliff]

Do, y'all get J.G. Wentworth commercials in Canada?

I'd say " no " as I've never heard of one but them I " tape " all I watch and fast forward most commercials . What does it advertise ?

[Susan Unger]

Now you are seeing why I dislike snow. Besides the cold it leaves a giant mess around.

Heavens no...snow is beautiful. It makes everything look pretty :) Rain just makes mud.

[Glenda Harvey]

11 posts since I was last on which was less than 4 hours ago!

[Patrick Russell]

just as long as it isn't ice I'm not too particular.

[Glenda Harvey]

just as long as it isn't ice I'm not too particular.

Are you still on the snow conversation? In case you haven't realized it yet, Susan adores snow!

[Susan Unger]

Well, nighty night all....

Dreaming of snow tonight, as always!

[Charlotte 'Mercer' Burton]

I would love snow if it weren't so dang cold.

[Patrick Russell]

So begins another new day

[Glenda Harvey]

Good Morning :smilies0822:

[Mark Metcalfe]

Yikes! I missed 3300 by 2!!

[Charlotte 'Mercer' Burton]

Off to Lubbock for a Children's Bible Quizzing thing. Wish us luck.

[Patrick Russell]

Hope Lubbock is fun

[Charlotte 'Mercer' Burton]

Hope Lubbock is fun

So far so good. They have a tiny doggy who has befriended me. I like him, because he is both small and quiet. Those qualities don't often go together in dogs.

[Susan Unger]

We need Noah's ark here in the mid-atlantic states...

[Patrick Russell]

We need Noah's ark here in the mid-atlantic states...

The ark might need some repairs first.

[Susan Unger]

The ark might need some repairs first.

Funny :)

We've had 2.5 inches so far. .5 more is expected over night. I am tired of this.

[Marg Shurtliff]

After we got all that snow Wednesday night it started raining and hasn't stopped .Doug rushed in to do my snow before 9 AM . I'm pretty sure had he left it most of it would have melted with the rain . Oh well. There goes another $ 20 .
Apparently we are breaking the record rainfall set in 1954 , I believe .At least there is no flash freeze in the forecast .

17 posts since yesterday but I got a mere 3 minutes and 2 minutes being last .

[Susan Unger]

You got a lot more this time Marg.

[Patrick Russell]

today is a peaceful day.

[Susan Unger]

Doing homework for Naz His and Pol. what to say?

[Patrick Russell]

things seem slow on here today, :(

[Glenda Harvey]

Beautiful mountain weather today :smilies0822:

[Patrick Russell]

mountains are nice

[Glenda Harvey]

mountains are nice

Yes they are!

[Marg Shurtliff]

Quiet here today .Just 7 posts and my little post got 8 hours and 5 minutes being last .

[Gina Stevenson]

Yes they are!

YES! [mountains, that is, are nice] Saw them easily from where I lived both in California and Arizona (daily). Here in Michigan, I've not seen a mountain in years !! I want to be able ($$) to go back out west!

[Marg Shurtliff]

I am partially already on daylight savings time . I have set the clocks upstairs and 4 down here . Need to do my watch and my answering machines and the microwave and I'll be done. I hate losing that hour but its much easier for me to do it on a Saturday than on a Sunday .

[Mark Metcalfe]

I agree with Marge, although I will wait to set them forward until afternoon today. I can probably tell myself to get to bed an hour "earlier" and make it easier on the other end.

I suppose only church folk and people who work on Sunday care about this.

P.S. I hope I am around for the big one.

[Glenda Harvey]

Good morning all :smilies0822:

[Susan Unger]

I am not looking forward to missing that hour tonight.

[Patrick Russell]

there are parts of the U.S. that do not follow DST one could always move there to avoid the loss of sleep. I have considered it.

[Glenda Harvey]

I am not looking forward to missing that hour tonight.

But I like having the extra daylight at the end of the day.

[Susan Unger]

Parts of Indiana being one of them. I wish my parents would be willing to move again cuz I'd love to move back home to Indiana :) where most of her family is located.

[Susan Unger]

But I like having the extra daylight at the end of the day.
This is falling on a bad weekend for me. I really need this hour tonight. Next weekend would be better for me.

[Glenda Harvey]

It comes earlier than it used to. Losing an hour sleep is always difficult.

OK, you've lost me, Mark ... "the big one" ?? What's that, since we're talking DST?


there are parts of the U.S. that do not follow DST one could always move there to avoid the loss of sleep. I have considered it.

Yes, other than Indiana, I lived in the ART time zone when in Arizona. ART = Arizona Redneck Time (some of y'all may want to skip this, having seen it before ;)):


:smilies0262:"If'n y'all take an hour from here & y'all put it over thar,
y'all ain't got no mo' time'n ya had before ...
so why change the clocks at all!?" :smilies0262:



This is falling on a bad weekend for me. I really need this hour tonight. Next weekend would be better for me.

Why's that? Y'all have a paper due before next weekend, and could use that extra hour this weekend to work on it? ;)

[Patrick Russell]

It's just one of those days

[Gina Stevenson]

It's just one of those days

And if you keep posting here, whatever the subject matter, might just have a chance one of these days (years? ;)) of being that "last one to post here," too. ;)

[Marg Shurtliff]

Just 13 posts since yesterday but got an hour and 17 minutes with the first and 4 hours and 4 minutes with the second .

[Marg Shurtliff]

I've never done this before but I am aiming to snag Mark's big one !

[Marg Shurtliff]

Now unless someone slips in here -- I got it !!! Post # 3333 !!!!!!

[Steven Burton]

Oh dear you got half of the devil there.

[Charlotte 'Mercer' Burton]

Back from Lubbock! Now one more day, and then off to OKC for Spring Break!

[Susan Unger]

Why's that? Y'all have a paper due before next weekend, and could use that extra hour this weekend to work on it? ;)Insomnia is bad. I need my evenings to be calm and settled. Turns out that wasn't going to happen - Mom wanted me to go to a Jazz concert so now I am ready to dance all over walls. I'll be 3 am before I get this out of my system....Then have to wake up early for church. BAD BAD BAD.

Here is a clip of what we heard tonight -


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r76B9K4PFlM

[Steven Burton]

Now she is wanting everybody to stay up with her.

[Susan Unger]

Now she is wanting everybody to stay up with her.

Come join me everyone!!! We can dance to Benny Goodman the whole night long!

After 2.5 hours of his playing [and I was like 5 rows away from him], I am just way to hyper. thus, I really need that hour tonight.

[Steven Burton]

Eat a banana and some warm wilk. Or you could eat a a lot of carbohydrates. Which could make your body crash in about an hour.

[Susan Unger]

I'm allergic to bananas....lots of carbs would mess up my body [migraines are not so bad when I keep intake of carbs limited]. But, I think I will go play my flute. That always relaxes me. Or I can try my oboe.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Oh dear you got half of the devil there.

I thought the devil or evil was just 666 not 6666 . We long passed that one .Not sure who got that one .

Just checked , Jim got 666.

[Susan Unger]

ugh...mornings!

[Mark Metcalfe]

Now unless someone slips in here -- I got it !!! Post # 3333 !!!!!!

You night owls!!!

Congratulations! 3333 IS a very BIG one!! Woohoo!

[Glenda Harvey]

I'm am trying to get in the habit of going to bed at 10:30 every night and wake up at 5:30 every morning. Easier said than done.

:smilies1098: :smilies0822: :smilies1664:

The fact that you would even try that means you're already working harder than me. I'm trying to stay out of the habit of going to bed at 5:30 every morning. :tongue:

[Glenda Harvey]

The fact that you would even try that means you're already working harder than me. I'm trying to stay out of the habit of going to bed at 5:30 every morning. :tongue:

I have to be at work at 7:30. Work is 25 minutes from my house. If I want to exercise and get a devotional in before getting ready for work I need to be up by 5:30. I usually end up waking up at 6:30 and late for work. I have trouble getting to bed before midnight and end up not getting to sleep until at least 12:30 or later. Everything I'm reading lately says that we need to get 6 to 8 hours of sleep for our health and longevity. They also recommend keeping the same schedule on our days off that we have during our work week.

[Susan Unger]

The fact that you would even try that means you're already working harder than me. I'm trying to stay out of the habit of going to bed at 5:30 every morning. :tongue:

That was me a couple of years ago. My goal now is to be thinking about sleep by midnight. Lately the last few weeks, I have actually been sucessful.

[Glenda Harvey]

I hope I can be successful at this. I think it will make a difference for me at work too.

[Susan Unger]

I hope I can be successful at this. I think it will make a difference for me at work too.

I have to end all activity after dinner. I turn off the lights, light some candles and play my flute. Then, I will notice how 11 pm seems so "late" to me. If I don't do this - insomnia! That is what happened last night. i finally fell asleep at 4 am and got up at 7:35. ugh.

That's what they suggest in the articles about sleep. Any activity even television within 3 hours of bed time can keep you awake.

[Charlotte 'Mercer' Burton]

Oh, I usually think about sleep around midnight. And then something happens and I forget about it again.

Are you still in school? What time are your classes?

[Charlotte 'Mercer' Burton]

Are you still in school? What time are your classes?

I'm not in school. I work part time and leave for work around 1:45 PM each weekday.

[Susan Unger]

That's what they suggest in the articles about sleep. Any activity even television within 3 hours of bed time can keep you awake.I used to be able to fall asleep at the drop of a hat regardless of caffeine, lights and activity. But the last 15 years or so I haven't been able to unless I go through all this down time. I am sure it is because I still have anxiety which I didn't have when I was younger.


Oh, I usually think about sleep around midnight. And then something happens and I forget about it again.When anxiety was at its worst [after quitting teaching in 2000], I didn't even think about sleep until 4 am.

[Steven Burton]

Yup, sounds like anxiety is the effect in part. I would recommend mentioning it to your doc. There are some good meds out there than help you manage it with out the trouble costly side effects. I actually had to get on medication or I would not be able to sleep for more than an hour or two at a time due to anxiety. And you can then slowly work your way off the meds when your anxiety starts to drop. Some people even get over it our their body resets itself.

[Glenda Harvey]

I'm not in school. I work part time and leave for work around 1:45 PM each weekday.

So you are on a swing type shift. When I was a Nurse Aid years ago I worked the 3 to 11 shift and found myself staying up and getting up late. It is a hard habit to break.

[Marg Shurtliff]

You night owls!!!

Congratulations! 3333 IS a very BIG one!! Woohoo!

Thank you but since when is just after 9 PM worthy of night owls ? I know I truly am a night owl - worked nights for too many years and survive best with those hours but this was an early post !


So you are on a swing type shift. When I was a Nurse Aid years ago I worked the 3 to 11 shift and found myself staying up and getting up late. It is a hard habit to break.

I used to get lots of sleep when I did evenings . But never saw anyone else ! Too wound up when I got home from work so stayed up and then was up just in time to go to work again !

25 posts this time . Got 1 minute with my first 3 posts - I did that to myself ! - and 7 hours and 22 minutes with the
4th .

[Glenda Harvey]

I can't think of any thing clever to say but have to post since I'm here.

Bed early tonight as I never get much sleep Saturday nights .( off my routine ) See you tomorrow . Have a good night .

[Steven Burton]

Good night.

[Glenda Harvey]

I should say good night too. I have things to do before I go to bed.

[Charlotte 'Mercer' Burton]

He says good night and then goes to talk to people online instead of going to sleep. Ah well. I guess great minds think alike. Good night. ;)

[Glenda Harvey]

I do the same. I think I really am addicted. Need to get better self discipline. It's 10:00 p.m. already.

[Charlotte 'Mercer' Burton]

I do the same. I think I really am addicted. Need to get better self discipline. It's 10:00 p.m. already.

Okay, well, 1:30 AM and still talking to people, but it's okay, because tomorrow if I'm up until 1:30 AM it will be talking to people in person! Woohoo!

[Gina Stevenson]

Goodnight, y'all. Was thinking last time I booted up FF -- again !! -- would like to begin collecting $1 for everytime it crashes [& has crashed in the last day or two]. With such a collection, I could begin a pathway to being rich, perhaps. ;)

[Steven Burton]

Talk to y'all next week ;)

[Susan Unger]

I do the same. I think I really am addicted. Need to get better self discipline. It's 10:00 p.m. already.

I'm working on this - decided after dinner the computer is turned off and stays off til breakfast.

Talk to y'all next week ;)Where ya going?

And you can then slowly work your way off the meds when your anxiety starts to drop. Some people even get over it our their body resets itself.I'm on anxiety meds right now. I also play my flute to calm me down every day and help the healing process. Still need calmer evenings though. Unfortunately, that will be a challenge this week.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Be praying for you , Susan , for calmness and peace .

Only 14 posts and I got all of 2 hours and 27 minutes with the first one but just 6 minutes with the second .

Nawwww.


Yes, but only if I am the last person to add to this thread! ;-)

Yeah, right. After we all get done congratulating you, you'd have to take a bow to be the last one ... again ... and then someone's sure to want to congratulate you all over again! ;)


Woohoo! I am the winner!

Uh-uh.


Congratulations Mark! :smilies0262:

A bit premature there, Glenda.

OK, now that we've countered a few posts, we can say goodnight, tho' it is extremely early for that, considering that even AZ is only at 10:30pm, having not changed their clocks with the rest of us.

[Glenda Harvey]

Good Night :smilies1098:

Good Night :smilies1098:

See? Told ya it was a bit early for "good night" and, sure enough, Glenda pipes up afterwards ... must someone stay up nearly all night to have the last "good night"? OK, goodnight again. ;)

[Marg Shurtliff]

Good night . Heading to bed early as I have to get up for a memorial service this afternoon . Have a good night all.

[Sue Pyles]

I am excited that spring is just around the corner.

[Mark Metcalfe]

I am excited that spring is just around the corner.

Something el;se is just around the corner!

[Patrick Russell]

Well the birds are certainly convinced it's spring already.

[Mark Metcalfe]

Snow melt has been slow in my area, but I'd say we're about halfway there.

[Mark Metcalfe]

Because we are close enough...

[Mark Metcalfe]

....and it seems that I have some sort of numerical infatuation....

[Mark Metcalfe]

...and a competitive nature that at times presents itself if strange ways....

[Mark Metcalfe]

Woohoo!!
3400 Snarfolaramalamadingdong!

Oh this is a drag. I just felt number envy for having missed #3333. Kind of lets the air out of my 3400 snag.

Just kidding! That was awesome!!

I talked with a man tonight whom I have always enjoyed hearing him pray. And I have wondered what makes his praying different than most others' praying. I found out that there was a time after he left Liberia and was going to school here in the US that he never knew from day to day where his daily food was going to come from. He'd pray a lot every day for God to provide. On the days where he had no food, God provided by either taking away the hunger pains or by providing him with food. While he is ok now, he has never forgotten those days of desperation and prayer. That is what has made him different

[Marg Shurtliff]

Well done , Mark , on getting post 3400 ! From the one who snarfed 3333 !!!!!!!

21 posts this time and got 49 minutes with my first but 5 hours and 20 minutes with the second .

[Tinker Boyd]

Study Break

[Tinker Boyd]

okay, back to work

[Glenda Harvey]

okay, back to work

That wasn't a very long study break.

[Marg Shurtliff]

That wasn't a very long study break.


Boy are you right . Same time for both posts !

Just got an E-mail from my second cousin in Florida .Her daughter is finishing up Nursing at a Christian college in Pensacola. She commented that her daughter should use a larger font next time to help some of us older ones reading it . I couldn't remember having a problem and I like to do mine in size 12 .I checked and she used 16 ! I think their computer has a problem(s) . She later said it takes up to a half hour to boot and download E-mail . I think it changes the font as well ! Weird .

[Gina Stevenson]

Just think ... because you snarfed 3333 from him, he's got one long wait to get to 4444, unless this thread goes crazy, of course. ;)

Fell asleep rather early tonight, so the bit I'm doing on (FB & here) is post-pit stop. ;)

So, g'nite again.

[Susan Unger]

More Nazarene History to read. ooorah!

[Marg Shurtliff]

Only 7 today and managed less than an hour both times . 40 minutes , then 57 minutes . Its those middle of the night pit stops that does me in . Sometimes I wish I had access to the computer upstairs , too, but then I'd probably lose sleep spending more time on it .

[Julie Reed]

I just read this thread for the first time.

You got that right , Gina! I am sure if my computer was on the same floor as my bed I 'd be popping in some nights . I'd want to every night but would have to give it a miss if I had to go out later that day . Oh well, ain't gonna happen .
Have to quit here soon anyway .

Only 8 posts this time and although I only got 17 minutes with the first I got 3 hours and 49 minutes with the second one . A quiet day .

[Glenda Harvey]

The thread doesn't seem like it was too active today.

[Marg Shurtliff]

You got that right , Glenda . Just about time for Gina to check in . Hi Gina !

[Glenda Harvey]

Good Night Everyone :smilies1098:

[Susan Unger]

Yesterday was a stressful day for me so didn't really think much about posting on here or elsewhere. I am trying to have a calmer weekend today and tomorrow so that on Sunday am I will be more with it. I and three others will be receiving our local pastor's licenses and then have a luncheon afterwards. I'd like to be awake and alert for this...not always a given on a Sunday morning :)

[Glenda Harvey]

After a very warm two weeks........... We have Snow!! :smilies0231:

After record tieing warmth yesterday we are back to seasonable 50 F. Yeah!

[Glenda Harvey]

Weather in Southern California can be very strange at times.

[Mark Metcalfe]

Movie night tonight.

[Gina Stevenson]

Nope, I didn't stop here as soon as you tho't I might (saw a post re this about 2am). It's now post-7pm, and here I is! ;)

[Patrick Russell]

Sleep might be a good thing soon but it might be too early for that.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Another quiet day here .Just 10 posts but mine sure weren't last very long . 7 minutes , then just 5 minutes . Not a good day for me being last !

[Glenda Harvey]

I will add another post.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Happy first day of spring ! Wish it felt like spring . Current temp is 27º F .

[Gina Stevenson]

:smilies1098: Goodnight, NazNet. Fell asleep early, woke up late. ;)

[Susan Unger]

I am up early :smilies1098:

[Susan Unger]

Happy first day of spring ! Wish it felt like spring . Current temp is 27º F .

Reminds me of Easter 2007 - the earliest Easter possible. It was 32 F. Since all of my Easter clothes are spring clothes, I decided to wear my Christmas sweater to church. VERY WEIRD.

[Gina Stevenson]

Half asleep, eh? That happens to me often until I'm up for awhile. ;)

Christmas sweater for Easter? Sounds about my speed, dressing-wise. It's not the warmest place here by Easter, often.

[Glenda Harvey]

First day of spring and we have a huge storm coming in with 2 to 3 feet of snow predicted. :smilies0195: :smilies0231:

[Gina Stevenson]

Real nice first day here, too ... tho' I understand (just heard it) that it "officially" does not arrive until about 7pm. Whoopie, huh? We've got rather heavy rain, and then we just heard, too, that we may have a nice ice storm Tuesday & Wednesday. Definitely typical spring here, a bit of this, that, the other ... some snow predicted, too.

[Patrick Russell]

spring will come when God decides not when the calendar dictates. Besides it's still another day of life and God is still God.

[Marg Shurtliff]

9 posts this time and I fared better being last . 1 hour and 9 minutes for the first and 20 minutes for the second.

Had planned on a trip to the sugar bush tomorrow with my neighbour but looks like the weather has something else planned . Another 2 to 4 inches of snow so unless they are wrong we'll be staying home . Its about 60 or 70 miles round trip if I don't make any wrong turns . I think we did OK last year but most years we took very scenic routes accidentally !

[Glenda Harvey]

We've had little snow so far. The big storm is suppose to hit around 8:00 p.m.

[Susan Unger]

Had a looonnnnggggg day today. But, other than being really worn out, not a bad day. Four of us received our local minister's license in church today. Then we had a dinner afterwards. And then this evening went to a small group study for the book "One month to live". It reminded me of the days in which Sunday PM meant church when I'd rather stay at home watching TV or sleeping ;) But, it was a good conversation. Also, I woke up at 6 am to make it to the Episcopal church service that I like. So, a very longggg day.

[Steven Burton]

spring will come when God decides not when the calendar dictates. Besides it's still another day of life and God is still God.

Wait I thought spring came when Hades let Persephone out of the underworld?

[Glenda Harvey]

Snow is covering the ground now. I was suppose to go to Studio City to hear a friend of the family sing but decided not to because I didn't want to drive back in a snow storm.

[Charlotte 'Mercer' Burton]

Ah, a whole week spending time in face to face relationship with very dear friends. It's nice to have some time with people who don't look at you like you're crazy or showing off when you try to talk about your interests. And now, back to the real world.

[Glenda Harvey]

She always enjoys herself, its just the other people that are the problem ;).

[Patrick Russell]

so ends another day.

[Gina Stevenson]

Well, isn't He God also in a few other places where the "waiting" is a lot nicer than in other places? I'd prefer having another clime once again in which to "wait" for this so-called "spring" to come! ;oP ;)

[Glenda Harvey]

We have about 6 inches of snow :smilies0231:

[Mark Metcalfe]

Glenda - two pair #3434

Good snarf!

[Mark Metcalfe]

Marge - Palindrome #3443

Good Snarf!

[Mark Metcalfe]

Me! Sequential Snarf! #3456!!

Bwa ha ha ha ha ha!

[Glenda Harvey]

We got a couple of feet of snow. Roads not plowed yet, so waiting awhile before I even attempt to get to work. :smilies0231:

[Marg Shurtliff]

Marge - Palindrome #3443

Good Snarf!

Had thought of that palindrome post ages ago but then forgot about it .Thanks for pointing it out , Mark .Yours was quite a coup though . So congratulations back to you as well.

14 posts since I checked in yesterday and my little post got just under an hour - 59 minutes .

And yes , the sugar bush trip got cancelled so I had some relaxing time instead . The white world out there sure looks very " spring-like " for the first full day of spring . Actually , I'll admit it really looked quite pretty with snow on the branches and a fresh coat on the ground . But if you quote me on that I'll deny it as a long standing member of the IHSC .

[Glenda Harvey]

Electricity was out for about six hours but it's back on now. When I called Edison the recording was saying it might be out until tomorrow morning so I was glad when it came back on ahead of schedule. I think it has stopped snowing too.

[Susan Unger]

I bought some Spring and Easter stuff this evening. I opened up my jars of Liliac scented candles and thought I would pass out from the smell. It reminded me of why I have never liked Spring. But, I am trying to change my ways and appreciate the other seasons.

[Steven Burton]

Y are you getting scented candles with scents like that?

[Glenda Harvey]

Still getting some tiny flakes. Paid someone to shovel my driveway so should be able to get to work tomorrow. :smilies0231:

We are cooler than normal for this time of year but at least it'll be sunny for the next few days . Bring on spring in reality not just by the calendar .

[Gina Stevenson]

Two feet!? Ugh! Glad I was "down the mountain" instead of "up there" while living in soCal ... tho' I did love to visit your lovely area. ;)

Amen to that! DENIAL is the way to go, when the likeability of such a scene is so short-lived ... snow gets dirty fast ... it's pretty at Christmas & on picture post cards, no? ;)

Awww, how kind of you ... you fanatical cold-weather/snow-lover. ;)


We are cooler than normal for this time of year but at least it'll be sunny for the next few days . Bring on spring in reality not just by the calendar .

Yes, we heard the old "cooler than normal" prediction, too, for about the next week it's to be something like 10 degrees below normal! Seems to feel even colder than it did when it returns after a little reprieve.


There also seems to be a trend of mixed sex living arrangements in which a number of young adults share a house or apartment (Threes Company Style) with separate bedrooms, none of them being couples but just sharing rent and household privileges.

Hmmm ... if we haven't yet quoted something we marked to quote in another thread, it asks now if we want to quote it here. Interesting. So, since it did ask, I'll add here -- since this is the "discuss-anything-&-everything-never-ending" thread -- that this doesn't sound all that bad. Tho', again, due to appearances ... it might be much easier sometimes to live platonically with someone other than another gal, b/c that just is often enough not "cool," that it makes sense. :(

[Gina Stevenson]

Goodnight zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Marg Shurtliff]

And goodnight to you , too!!!!!

[Susan Unger]

Y are you getting scented candles with scents like that?

To broaden my horizons. Instead of just celebrating Fall and Winter, I am trying to celebrate Spring. So, I bought spring scents like lilac and jasmine. Jasmine's ok but lilac - oh my. Growing up we had one in our backyard...now I am remembering why I never wanted to go into the backyard. Lilacs look pretty but the smell is just overpowering to me. In other words, I didn't remember how negatively I reacted as a kid t Lilac. I can do lavendar, jasmine and sweet pea but not so sure about lilac.

pretty nifty

[Steven Burton]

Ah my mom had a rose garden and other flowers not sure the other ones. But I prefer flowers that are not as strong since I have allergies. Spring is my favorite time of the year but I allergy problems so I don't get to enjoy it as much anymore.

[Susan Unger]

Speed reading Nazarene history is oh so...stress inducing. I'm trying to read it all in 2 weeks' time.

[Gina Stevenson]

Yeah, Red Green's OK ... funny dude. ;)

[Glenda Harvey]

Hi Everyone :smilies0295:

[Susan Unger]

Hi Glenda!

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

Greetings last post-ers.

[Susan Unger]

Greetings O, Humble one.

[Glenda Harvey]

Greetings to the both of you too.

[Marg Shurtliff]

13 posts this time and a visit from Scott , even !!

Got 13 minutes being last with my first post but a whoppong 5 hours and 56 minutes with the second .

And Susan, I love the smell of lilacs . There used to a street near here that I liked to bike ride on in spring . Lilac trees on both sides of the street , lovely !
One winter at our old church we had lilacs ( the smell ) in February . An animal had died in the pipes and the smell was terrible .Our young pastor at the time donated 2 bottles of lilac aftershave lotion to pour down the registers and it did the trick . Don't think he minded using them for a useful purpose .

[Steven Burton]

oh no the thread is going to be closed.

[Gina Stevenson]

oh no the thread is going to be closed.

Huh!? Is that what you read from Scott's greeting to "last posters"? Think everyone on the thread was being referred to there, since that's it's title. ;)

[Marg Shurtliff]

Yes , I agree with Gina . He was just popping in to say hi.

And yeah, that smell'd kill any other smell I do believe.

Good night last-ees

[Charlotte 'Mercer' Burton]

Good night last-ees

Good night. Also, if we're the "last-ees," then who is the "last-er?"

[Glenda Harvey]

I think the last-ees are the late night people. Of course those of us in California tend to to post later than everyone else.

[Charlotte 'Mercer' Burton]

I think you actually post later than me most nights. :smilies1098:

[Charlotte 'Mercer' Burton]

I think you actually post later than me most nights. :smilies1098:

And I still quit posting well before I actually go to sleep most nights.

[Marg Shurtliff]

And I stay up really late most nights !
