Monkey Musings Daily Open Discussion #10 1/23 - 6/12/2008

GO - the snow up your way is beautiful, you get far more than where I'm offsite working now, but you are right - it can be dangerous. I have to fly back early tomorrow morning, haven't checked the weather yet but I did pick up some better clothing items to keep me warm just in case.

I've sold my home and moving next week to my new one, it backs up to 700 acres of undeveloped property. I was over checking on the carpet installation and landscaping yesterday afternoon, sure enough their were deer standing in the trees as twilight arrived? I think I"ll have to be careful to plant items they don't like to eat ! 

Yep nonesie, be careful what you plant. I take pains planting various seeds, bulbs and young plants in my flower gardens and nothing is more disheartening than watching them start to sprout and waking up one morning to find them munched off about an inch or so from the soil.....

I've had a great deal of success with a product called Liquid Fence.  What makes it better than other products is that it is systemic meaning that the plant absorbs it.  When you first begin to use it the animals do try to eat but they get sick immediately.  After that they can smell plants that it is used on.  I have not had things eaten now for years

Do not know if any of the monkeys have been an executor or executrix of a will, but I am currently officiating in the latter....have a buyer of our parent's home and have been busy trying to sift through 60 plus years of our parents & our life.  I try to catch up and post when I can, but always seem to be behind. 

I stand with Natalee and her family. 

GO...a year has passed since our Dad left us...somehow I had hoped for another spring to do all this stuff and it's not happening....it's cold, either snowing or raining, (raining tonight).....makes for a challenging clearing out of the house. 

Just saying hi, and want you to know that I read when I can and I'm not abandoning ship....

Speaking of cold, Canada hre with my weather report :
Cold, getting colder.
Hate it right now.
Bone chillin'.
No end in sight.
There are no unplanned activities. Get errands done on the way home, make sure you have suppplies at all times.
Watching alot of movies lately,
Good reviews by ME :
310 to Yuma.
The Brave One Jody Foster is quite good in this one. It captures the emotion of how she feels after her fiance is killed.
BAD :
Gone Baby Gone ... no charcter development, lead actor is Ben Affleck's brother who tried to do a Boston accent, can hardly understand him 

[Kat_Gram]

Gone Baby Gone Sorry, used yellow like in lemon , trying to be clever, didn't quite work

Alabama has been pummeled by tornadoes for the second time this month.  Please remember those injured and who lost everything in your prayers.

Thanks

I have internet connection but is about half the speed of dial up but am told that I am lucky to have it at all.  Still waiting to hear from those in southeastern corner of the state and hope all is well with them.

I even missed GandSons  b-day party this weekend

Just posting to say hello.  All the talk of weather... oh my GOD is it ever cold.  I ache so bad from it.  It's been about 10 degrees (the HIGH) for weeks now.  Supposed to get down to 2 tonite with 30 mph winds making the windchill factor when I go to work tomorrow MINUS 30 degrees.

This is not normal.  This is way colder than we normally get.  I want global warming back!

Yes, I have never worried too much about Global Warming.  We have a warning out tonight for wind chills.  It will probably be in the area of -45 to -50 when I get up tomorrow.  We got our 13" of snow and now it will get cold again until the next snow fall.   Farmers almanac predicted a mild/dry winter for us.  This is on schedule to be the worst winter in 100 years for us.  I know other parts of the country are suffering also.

Klaas, I didn't want to put this in the Natalee thread but...as you pointed out my 777 count post, it was ironic that I got a gift today of, yes you guessed it {{edit}}. I might need this post deleted if you think it is inappropriate and not in my best interest.

GO I thought of you when I was posting because if it is MINUS 30 here I knew it'd be far worse your way.  Yes Farmer's almanac was whacked this year.  They canceled school in Omaha today - too risky to the kids who have to wait for buses.  I am pretty sure I still have to work darn it.  Got the layer thing going on.  Not looking forward to going out in it.

Stay warm Monkeys!

A little shopping story for Wednesday:

A lady walks into Tiffany's. She browses around, spots a beautiful diamond bracelet and walks over to inspect it. As she bends over to look more closely she inadvertently breaks wind.Very embarrassed, she looks around nervously to see if anyone has noticed her little accident and prays that a sales person doesn't pop up right now.As she turns around, her worst nightmare materializes in the form of a salesman standing right behind her.Cool as a cucumber and displaying complete professionalism, the salesman greets the lady with, 'Good day, Madam. How may we help you today?'Very uncomfortably, but hoping that the salesman may just not have been there at the time of her little 'accident', she asks, 'Sir, what is the price of this lovely bracelet?'He answers, 'Madam, if you farted just looking at it, you're going to $hit when I tell you the price.'

Hi guys!

I should know this, but I don't! 

Is there a thread for the Brianna Denison case? I've looked, but may have not been looking in the appropriate place. TIA!

thanks, I found a way in but only one of the browsers will work now and then not in the usual way.

I had to use the sign in on the bottom of the page.   It only works with Safari and I am not sure that will be consistent

GreatOwl, did you get your login issues resolved? I am currently logged in on a mac running Safari, and also just successfully logged in via firefox as well - both from the top of the site. So, it does not appear to be a script or code issue.

Perhaps you have some partially loaded pages saved in your cache? You might try emptying your browser cache and rebooting to see if that helps.
