More confirmation regarding JK2 remaining suspects from Medleyrelay at FOB:

Sadly I heard from a reliable source that this is true. It was not the van der Sloots, but reliable. Normally I would not like to believe Monkey Poop and was hoping that MF or someone would come on here and speak up.

Those poor, pitiful Joran-supporting suckers...they make up their own reality.

[blah]

Poor frozen Monkeys.  Do be sure to stay under the electric blankie tonight.

       

im sitting here in a short sleeve shirt drinkin a half frozen beer

its 19 degrees out, 3 with the wind chill

maybe theres something wrong with me    

Well, I wasn't going to say anything, but since you brought it up. . . . .

     

come on now, no keping secrets, spill it !

[carpe noctem]

LOL Ono!

Awwww
Ya just put one foot over your shoulder

and then the other.


 heh heh

[Ono]

I live in Michigan and it gets and stays friggen cold and I never do the things you are talking about, never had a problem.  The only thing I do is unhook the hoses and store them for the winter.  If you have a water pipe that is exposed to the air (as in not buried or anything) for several feet you might want to insulate it but other than that, the odds of your pipes freezing ae pretty darn close to zero.

It depends on whether or not your home is up on pier and beam....if so, then hence the need to wrap the pipes and do the drip. If your home is on a slab, it isn't necessary. The location is moot.

What about us folks with dirt floors?

Cannot help you there.   Put on extra leggins for the run to the out buildings!

It's getting thru the snowdrift to the firewood that's a hassle.

  Don't keep the firewood in the outbuildings.

[LilPuma]

Carnut, a gun for shooting buffalo?  Oh, my.  Oh, my.  

I think I'm ... speechless.

I didn't see any gun.  I couldn't get my eyes off the Elvis picture.  

[Tylergal]

None

You should both be very proud!!

Thank you buckeye, despite the trials of this year she's still done so well, I even found a butterfly charm for her bracelet but shhhh, no one tell that's a secret. I plan to give it to her to wear at graduation.

I know you are proud of her as you should be, for more reasons than one, but that cum laude thingie is really fantastic.  I know she has worked hard and has been through a lot and it is pretty amazing that she graduates, muchless that she is graduating cum laude.  I hope she will take a break and do something fun for a while.  She is going to love the butterfly, what a neat gift!

[blah]

I just can't believe that Melody was not the first person the Sloots thought to contact...her being so close and all.....that is a shame...bless her heart (did I say that right?...I'm really from the North).

dint you git the memo?

Us northernArs, talk like southernArs now, ya hear?

I haven't looked, but I'll bet the quiet over there at Refugees is deafening tonight.

[Frijole]

Anna, I thought you were ins Alabama, why are you worried about your pipes freezing?

For the same reason I'm worried about my pipes freezing in Tennessee. It's going to be 18 degrees here the next two nights.  

LMAO.. That was the HIGH here today!  Unless your pipes are different - you should be OK.  Better get out the toddy!  

And hello monks!  Catching up on the latest news... at least there appears to be some progress.  Will say a prayer.

[nonesuche]

honestly she's helping with cookies through the holiday, the job market is very very slow.......that being said I'm scheduled to have my fourth interview with a global company tomorrow and it's been two months of interview process! I'll be thankful to have her helping me and she thinks it's fun and not work, so no one tell her cookies are work too  

[blah]

blah-

Honestly I think you should look into it, whenever Martha Stewart puts her stamp on something it seems to fly out the door too  

yeah as long as she's not selling stocks !!



 

[Buckeye]

Sleuth

If you're around...do you still have your old outline of all the judges??

[Ono]

LOL Ono!

Awwww

hey Blah,

Is Jaansen really retiring Jan 1, 2007?

Are we done with her? I hope.  

For Nat's and her family's sake!

[AZLady]

Good luck, None.  Knock em dead!!     If you've made it to the fourth interview, I think you're a shoe-in.  They like you, that's for sure, so keep your chin up and the fire in your eyes, lady.

[Carnut]

Guess who Elvis was on BFN Chat.

[carpe noctem]

Hey Frijole!

Yes, today things started looking up!

3 The Weasels are still VERY MUCH Weasels.

I'm glad.
