Here is the shiny new Break Room for you to share your daily thoughts, conversational chit-chat, maybe a joke or two and all the little things that really don't need its own thread. There are plenty of seats available, so don't be shy and come chat! Who is going to be first to break the ice? Ana

What to do tomorrow: my wife and I will take off the Christmas lights that we have on our galery, but we will keep the decorations that we have inside for a few more days. We are expecting some snow in the week-end, so that will keep us busy. All have a good day on Friday.

I don't do the same thing that family does everyday, but I do basically do the same thing everyday - sit at my computer. Emails, news stories, game selling sites, GameBoomers, and game playing. Talk to a friend on the phone, 1/2 hour of family time with my brother in the evening, and sometimes a bit of television. The other things I want to do never seem to get done.
soot, I do not miss work one bit!
Chief, it's nice to see you back.

Good morning, I’m enjoying my first cup of coffee this morning. I have to go get a new battery for my Volvo today. The last one lasted for 8 years. About time for a new one .

Woohoo! Look at you all here! I love it! It's Friday, a long workday for me, I work tomorrow as usual also, but I'm done by noonish and then it's officially the weekend for me. We had a ton of graupel fall this morning. So heavy it made pinging noises like we had a tin roof. Then it changed to big snowflakes, and now it's a sleet/snow combo. It's going to be a fun day working outside. Catch you all later!

Fantastic Friday ya'll Ana, I heard the weatherman yesterday talking about graupel. Not sure I'd heard the word before that! I envy you the dogs, but not the weather. Enjoy! It is sunny and beautiful out, but WINDY, so I may work out in the bedroom. Hate to miss the sunshine, but wind does very unkind things to my sinuses. I found a lady on Youtube who seems to have workouts that will be fun and won't kill me, so think I might just give one of those a try today. TLC, enjoy the R&R. Sometimes, that is hard to come by. Have a great one ya'll

Hey, everyone. Happy Friday. So today I decided it was time to clear out my closet, and boy, do I wish I hadn't. I have my own walk-in closet and it's starting to be more like a "clear-your-way-with-a machete" closet. I never did do a real cleanout after we moved here because of my husband's illness, so it's like a jungle in there. And where did I get all those shoes and boots? And purses? Some of them are from my working years and I suppose that makes sense, but still, it's a bit embarrassing. And what's with the red brocade Fluevog boots? They're lovely, but, still...Why did I think I had to have those? Looks like our local Women's Transition House is about to get a bag of some really good stuff!

Good morning to you all. We should get around 10 to 12 inches of snow. I can send some to anyone. It's free. All have a good day.

hagatha, It's amazing what you can accumulate! Glad you have a good place to donate to. connie, sounds like a full day! Gerry, unless it's a hot summer day, rain is only my favorite to watch from indoors. Winter rain is my worst days to have to be out in! Enjoy your walk. Mad, good to see you here! soot, enjoy your long weekend! Do you get Monday off too? L4L, we get graupel here a few times a winter. It hurts when it hits you. I prefer snow. Hope you have a nice weather day to get out. TLC, hope you are healing well! Winfrey, I can't believe you had one battery for 8 years! That's impressive! starcom, how is the snow situation? chief, enjoy your snowy weekend! oldbroad, it's nice having a day to do whatever you like! family, enjoy! My client cancelled today so I am officially off till Monday! Woohoo! Just my boarder to take care of, but he's a big love! Have a great day all!

Super Saturday ya'll It's a beautiful day with lots of blue skies, but lots of wind and it's cold out there. I'm taking a bedcation (as much as I can manage). Gonna read the whole paper and play a game and watch the news. Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Good morning, all.
Chief, I've almost forgotten what an eastern Canada winter is like -- I moved to BC about 40 years ago and on the coast "winter" is really just a very, very long rainy day. I do miss those really crisp snowy days sometimes, going out cross-country skiing. When it snows here it's damp and slushy and miserable and we're terrible wimps here. If we get 1/2 inch of snow everyone panics and stays home from work.
I recently discovered the joys of stove-top espresso pots, so I'm off to make myself a cappuccino and then play Skyrim.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

What a nice start to this new gathering of friends from all over Unfortunately, I've some worrisome news to share. Some of you may recall that, last Fall, the vet noticed a problem with my dog, Huey's, left eyelid drooping. It's was initially diagnosed as Horner's syndrome, like partial face paralysis that also affects humans, and told to get an MRI. I took him to a neurologist who determined that, if something was going on, it was too early to tell. Lately, even though his appetite hasn't changed, periodically he won't digest it properly, and he looked to be loosing weight. Took to vet yesterday and she confirmed that he has lost some weight and appears gaunt in his ribs and shoulders. She took some blood to see if she could spot anything. Meanwhile, I've got a call in to the neurologist. Unless the vet sees something, it's time for that MRI. The neurologist's suggestion came from her few minutes with Huey who acted much more normal than her other sicker patients. Lately, I've realized that that's just his nature. No matter what is going on, he's a happy go lucky dog. Even when he's sick, he's still peppy. I'm hoping whatever ice and snow may be coming will wait until that is done. I can handle the cold; just don't want to drive in crappy weather.
Life's a puzzle; one piece at a time.

hagatha, I'm indeed in the Montréal region, born here and still living here. Sometime snow is fun but today that means shovel and snow from the street being pushed on the side of the car. Thats life.
