Ah, you have much to learn grasshopper. The moderators are participants here, we trust them fully, safe in the knowledge that they would never do such a thing. This is peaceful meadows my friend. Relax, kick back and enjoy.

Had a nice Mothers Day weekend. Went to the Womens Tea at Church yesterday with my daughter and future daughter in law and then to a movie and out to an early dinner. Today my son and his fiance took me to lunch and a movie. Overall a very nice time.

A decent Mother's day weekend here. On Friday we dropped off our little fellow for a weekend boyscout outing at the Advent Christian camp in Marion, MA, then we took the scenic way back taking in a nice dinner on the way home. My wifes plans were to have her mom and dad over for the afternoon on Sunday, so I moved a few vehicles around, mowed the lawn and trimmed, then a nice quiet evening. We had a great service this morning and a nice lunch and afternoon with the inlaws.
Except that our little fellow had gotten very little sleep and was especially crabby and emotional. I had a couple of chats with him trying to break his spell. After everyone left, I got the chance to let him vent and cry a bit and then I was able to get through to him. For the last hour he has recovered nicely and he's headed up to bed willingly right now. Not a bad day afterall.

Current temp 55º and I'm off to bed .

Good morning Marg! And no problem, actually we have two sons, one is 11 and his older brother is 27. No grandchildren yet, we are praying though. Let me see if I can rustle up a family picture somewheres.
58 degrees here with a 30% chance of showers, high of 70. Should be a decent day to work on a roofing job, needs to be done tomorrow by noon cause rain is a coming.

It seems most fitting to use this thread for my first post on NazNet so that, at least for a time, the first can be last.
Now, back to the weather .....

Maybe your not old enough to remember Superman?It was!? Must have missed that. Never knew dat!
Maybe my memory is faulty, but I remember that they had managed to control the climate on Krypton, then changes started to take place and the control systems failed. Just before the planet exploded Superman's dad Jor-El, shot Superman to earth in a capsule. Or something like that.

If I had started the thread I can change whatever I want but since I didn't start the thread , I think that isn't the right route . Mind you , that is just how I feel and others would have no qualm doing so in fun . Its not mean . I sure wouldn't want anyone touching what I wrote unless they were correcting spelling or editing out a part , that heaven forbid I'd ever do it , should not be said here ! And techincally it was appended it was inserted .

Actually turned the A/C on yesterday , late afternoon . But sitting here at the computer this evening with hands near frozen I realized I was very cold and switched the heat back on again . It hasn't come on much but I'm warmer and my hands feel a lot better . Current temp is 57º. Was a lovely day yesterday . Up to 76º .

Thanks , Jim . I didn't notice at all. Wasn't thinking of snarfs . The unexpercted ones are the ones to savour . Thanks , again .
MargPost Thanks / Like - 1 Thanks, 0 Laughing
You are most welcome.
I've found that sneaking up on a snarf is much more fun. Especially if you are ten posts away and working feverishly to get the ten posts in before someone else comes in and grabs it.
Which actually happened to me way back when I was attempting to get #666. Luckily I was able to delete one of my posts and roll the counter back.

...Made you look...
And Marg got another (US-related) double-snarf! 7676 = our most recent '76 was1976's bicentennial.
Yes, Marg, I do know your country's year, too ... centennial was 1967 {went to Montreal for Expo}.

Wonder if we were at Expo 67 at the same time . We went up at least 5 or 6 times . It was only 100 miles and my brother was living there at that time . I would have gone one more time as relatives were visiting and heading up but it was my last day in nurses' training . It was only a half day but my mom didn't want me to miss as I hadn't missed a day to that point in the 3 years .
Current temp 44º but its going up to 73º today and low 80s Saturday and Sunday !!!
Marg
