A woman would never make a nuclear bomb. They would never make a weapon that kills. They’d make a weapon that makes you feel bad for a while.

Good morning everyboomie. Frankie


Welcome to your weekend!! Jackpumpkin


Hey have any of you seen the petition to move Halloween to the last Saturday in October? That would have been today. witch


Thousands of people have signed it, but some people just want to leave Halloween on the 31st, and do trick-or-treating on the Saturday before. ghost2


I don't really care. I don't get trick-or-treaters anyway. blackkitty


I'll bet I know someone who would rather cancel the whole affair though. snicker


I may go to the sod farm today if my back is back......enough. zombie


We are going to be a sunny 79 degrees. shiver


Have a happy day everyone. LOOK, a copacornia.....I mean a Copacabana cornucopia

Joe, you know how I feel about Halloween. I despise it! Actually, I love the decorations, the costumes...I absolutely hate, with every fiber of my being, trick and treaters. With so many alternatives these days, I don't know why they just can't go to an event instead.
Can you share some of that 79 degrees please?

soot, anything fun planned for the weekend?

I have a client today and then I will finish up my other work stuff and then I will have Sunday just for me! yay

Have a happy day all!

That means I have to put on something other than shorts and t-shirts, so have to go peruse my closet. May need to go shopping. Time to get moving! Have a great day ya'll wavegirl

L4L, how fun! Are you flying or driving?
Posted By: looney4labs

Re: Saturdiner - 10/27/18 10:28 PM

Ana, we are flying. Would much much rather drive but that would have added 6 days to the trip, and hubby couldn't get that long off. I'm not happy about leaving dogs for 5 days, so 11 days is not a possibility in my mind. And of course, if you drive, there is the "Well, we should swing buy and see so-and-so" mindset, that isn't there when you fly.

We are leaving a day of travel time cushion, as the last time Soot and son tried to fly to a gathering, they missed the event because of delayed flights.

It's a once-in-a-lifetime trip for us (at least for me.) There are many folks who go every year, but I'm not fond of traveling. I'm looking forward to experiencing it live.

Hi Looney puppy wishing you and hubby a safe trip and a wonderful time at Blizzcon….I know what it's like to leave your dogs behind at home - but on the bright side when you both get back give them all a big hug. lab
