Dang. Not going to be a fun drive, that’s for sure! If you opt for the other route, I hope there aren’t any accidents on that one.

Wonder what the heck is going on with your computers at home. That’s weird. If everything else comes up, FR should.

[radu]

Howdy, PRO.

After work, did you get the things done today that you didn’t get around to yesterday? :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[radu]

Yay for rain!

Sounds like Mother Nature is finally being kind to those of us who have been ignored for a while. ‘Bout time, huh?

[Kathy in Alaska]

In first....The Mayor grabs the gold!!

[radu]

Howdy, LUV.

Have a good day? Still enjoying that cute lil hooty owl?

[PROCON]

Howdy radu!

*Groan*, I did stay up WAY too late last night and paid for it this morning, hard to open my eyes up at 4:30...(but at least I got a 50 and 100), LOL.

Son's over now and we're hanging. I just kicked back after work, a bit of a sore back today. 😣😣

[Kathy in Alaska]

And in second....radu snags the silver!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

WOO-HOO, Pro...a good work day?

Yucky weather here now. Hanging at work hoping a accident on my route home will clear out.

[Kathy in Alaska]

And rounding out the top three....ML bags the bronze!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Luv...it does stink. Thankfully the office computer doesn’t have the same problem. I would have to stay at work til midnight to keep up, or come here on the weekend to post threads! LOL!

I’m about ready to venture out for home. I’m going to try my usual route. If it’s blocked, I will have to turn around and come back to the alternate route.

[radu]

LOL! I figured it was going to be hard to crawl out of bed this morning. But hey, ya got a two-fer last night!

I hope your back feels better in the morning. Long days are miserable with an achey back. Ugh!

Glad I got the shopping done yesterday as it’s rained steadily since I woke up.
Sitting here watching Amazing Race. It’s one of the ways I “travel” the world - - they send the teams to some neat places.

[radu]

Woohoo, thanks!
Doesn’t happen very often, does it? LOL

[radu]

Sitting here hoping they’ll have the wreck cleared off so you can stick to your usual route home.

[PROCON]

A good work day with a bit of a sore back.

My Dad told me to never get old...I didn't listen...😀😀

[luvie]

It was a great day! And yes, that cutie is still looking down at me from the top of my old coke machine in the dining area. He was a surprise...made me LOL when I first noticed him. :)

[luvie]

Be safe! If you need help with threads, just holler. Text rather than e-mail. I get it quicker. LOL!

[radu]

Glad you had a great day.
That lil cutie made me LOL when I saw the pic. That’s just too cute.

It was a quiet day here. Wet, wet, and more wet so I went nowhere. Glad to get the rain though. Nice and steady so no flooding issues.

Supposed to let up by tomorrow and that’s nice since I have to get out. Republican women’s group meeting in the morning.

[luvie]

I hope it is dried out by the time you have to leave to go to the meeting. I know you would hate to have to drive on wet roads. I sure do! Not to mention getting from the car to the building!

Was your hubby surprised by your Valentine for him? Were the kitties good today for your gift? :) Silly question. LOL!

[radu]

I don’t mind driving on wet roads. It’s icy roads I won’t drive on. Too many fools around here who won’t drive slowly and safely, so I stay home out of their way.

But it IS nice to be able to go in and out of places without getting wet. What would be really nice is a little sunshine but I’m not holding my breath. We have varying rain chances for the next several days so it looks like cloudy skies are in order.

Nah, he wasn’t surprised by his candy. I get it for him every year. LOL! He loves those truffles.

He did surprise me with a box of choklits this year though. He normally just ignores the day.

Kittehs have been wild injuns most of the day - - as usual. They’re finally out of steam and are quiet at the moment. Whew!
