How cute.   

[Blue Moon]

Good Morning....and Hi to everyone.....want Blue Moon and CBB to know that we are under
and "ice storm warning" which I know you know unless you are still asleep.     Do be careful as I hear sirens every so often....heading toward I-75. 

I certainly have learned to live in and enjoy all four seasons.....although I thought we might
miss this winter.  Will be moving south sometime this year....more like one and a half seasons, but will be close to family.

Hugs....

Hi Mere.  We have about a .25" of pure ice.  It is starting to pass us, you should see it real soon.  We are under an ice storm warning until about 1pm today.  Ice is hanging off the tree branches this morning.  They had to close I-65 just 30 miles north of us and also the Natcher Parkway just down the road from me, they said both lanes were covered with wrecked vehicles.  I know they put down salt brine yesterday on the interstate and also the main roads here but it didn't help the interstates.  Be careful today.  At least by next Tuesday we should be having thunderstorms and temps in the 60's.  You just never know what the weather will be from day to day.

Mere, I hate to hear you are leaving our great state but don't blame you if it puts you near your family.

 

Told you Mere, it's Tuesday, today the high was about 70*, and we are under a tornado watch until 4:00am.  Guess I will spend the next few hours waiting for this.  I really really hate storms when it is dark outside.  It is very hard to sleep knowing bad storms are lurking outside.

Today is my anniversary-36 years.  Wow, that's a long long time.

I am in my 11th week without a cigarette.  It is just amazing.  Quitting smoking has caused weight gain.  I am trying to walk it off every day but I can see it will be a long, slow process.  I hear the new health care law will penalize you for smoking and charge you at least $5000 more a year for your insurance.  They are also saying they will penalize you for being fat! Hell, I can't win for losing.  I quit smoking and I think I beat the system.  Now I am gaining weight from quitting smoking and I find out I will get penalized for that also.

 

[klaasend]

I always used the excuse that I'd gain too much weight if I quit smoking UNTIL respiratory failure nearly killed me    Yes, I did gain weight after quitting but I slowly but surely took it off.  Took about 3 years after quitting to get back to where I should be. 

[Blue Moon]

I always used the excuse that I'd gain too much weight if I quit smoking UNTIL respiratory failure nearly killed me    Yes, I did gain weight after quitting but I slowly but surely took it off.  Took about 3 years after quitting to get back to where I should be. 

Yeah, I know you are right.  I quit because they found a spot on my lung.  Turns out it is what they call a "granuloma" and it is very common to people in the Ohio Valley area of the country.  It is caused by the soil and birds.  But I always said it would take a life-threatening scare for me to quit smoking.  3 years is a long time to get the weight under control.  I am walking at least a mile a day and trying to watch what I eat but eating is a hard thing to cut down on.  I guess the craving for a cigarette is being replaced with food.  Oh well, I still am very glad I quit.  It is something I never thought I would do.  I conquered that so I guess I will have to find a way to conquer the weight gain also.

Hope others in the path of this storm are o.k. today.  I was up this morning at 1:30am until 4:00am.  It was extremely rough.  Appears to have had tornadoes all around us or just straight-line winds with speeds up to 70mph.  The temperature during the storms this morning was 72*.  That is just unheard of unless it is in the middle of summer.   

[crazybabyborg]

Between the weight gain and living without cigarettes, Blue Moon, you made the right decision! 

If we could all move like those twins, we wouldn't have to worry about weight......     

[crazybabyborg]

How sweet   

[crazybabyborg]

OMG, TM! I just came here to post that video! 

Maybe it's because it's Friday of a long week and I'm really tired, but I cried....... not just a few tears, but boo-hooey cried! That one got me right through the heart!

Thanks for fixing the jeep, Klaas! I was gonna ask you if you could add that "beep, beep, beep" back up, warning sound to it!

I just love this.  The clydesdales are such graceful animals.  I was raised with horses.  We always had our dogs but we also always had horses also.  They were our pets that we rode, fed and took care of until---------------My father traded it for another horse.  I could never understand why he always traded horses and what he got out of it.  All we knew was there goes another pet!  My father would tell us we were ruining a perfect horse and we made it hard on him to show the horse in horseshows.

I do believe this is the best Budweiser commercial I have seen yet!   

[Mere]

I absolutely love this commercial.....have watched it over and over....
Thanks for bringing it here....

Blue Moon and CBB......22 and real snow flakes...!!!  This will be my last winter, so I am hoping for enough snow to take pictures.

I was right there with you CBB!   

Still tear up every time I watch it!

I agree BlueMoon, best one yet!   

One of the reasons it hit me in the heart is that my youngest still has his horses here, and his dog...his pets that we take care of since he moved out during college; and now he may be moving even further away for law school.  He comes over and rolls the hay in for them sometimes, but just doesn't take time with them to ride much right now and I know how much they must miss him!

His JR still just goes crazy when she sees him, she can hear his truck before anyone and I can always tell by her reaction that HE'S here!

YW Mere!   

I've watched it over and over too!   

I think we're supposed to get up to about 70 today, I'm ready for some sun!   

Hope you get enough snow for those pictures!
