Beautiful day here so far but it looks like clouds on the horizon.

Yesterday, Meghan was trying to figure out what to do about Cairo - when to go, where to stay. She's not sure if she should work a little at a summer job to get some money or just go. Also, since I wanted to go see Bryana in Spain when she goes to that school program for a month, Meghan was thinking of going too. So maybe she will go there first and then go on to Cairo from there. I'll have to refinance my mortgage, but life is too short and this is a once in a lifetime trip!

STELLA, There was a post from Becky yesterday, last night, in the last 5 pages or so.

Morning all. Decided to check in early today.

Gail, my heart goes out to you and your family. It's hard losing a pet.

Mamacita, my uncle has had a hip replacement and both knees done. Though not at the same time. The 3 surgeries were done over a 5 period. So, I'm sure Sully will do just fine with you there helping.

Hi MizT. Surprised to see me?

GOOD Maen all. another lovely day in the neighborhood, today might be a tad warmer. blue skies, fluffy clouds, gentle breeze, my kind of day!

vdV, good to see you check in, hope to see you around a bit more.

BRONI, hope you are soon recovered, and back home. GET WELL SOON, you hear?

HI BECKY, yes, surprised to see you, I was just talking about you.

Thought I felt my ears burning.

How are you today?

Today is going to be a nice day, I am going to enjoy it. How about you, how are you today?

Ahhhh, it is change over time on EASY, well, I had rather chat than check in over there hehe

It's going to be nice this afternoon. Morning has been a little drizzly.

Doing good. Going to the grocery this afternoon.

OH, the dreaded reprovisioning of the fort.



I hate shopping!

If you want to, go ahead and visit there. I can leave a note of Stella's and Broni's pages.

I have an appointment today and they are comming to me, so that meant a general raking through of the public rooms. I need to be doing the last bits on that, but here I sit.

I don't mind it. I've gotten to know a few of the clerks and we stand around visiting. Hubby thinks it's a hoot.

I said, I had rather chat! I have been missing out on chats lately and need a fix. Besides, we can get a page closer to TOPPS for those interested in that kind of thing

Gotta set your priorities. I should be doing laundry, but decided it could wait.

our local grocery is staffed by college students, turnover is frequent, and not a lot to say to a pierced, tattoed young person now. Our small town is a college town, and the grocery is about the choice for work for the students. that or fast food, and most think fast food beneath them.

I usually show up after everyone has been here. A day late and a dollar short, as they say.

I could run one more load, but it is not yet a full load, so I think I shall wait. I did whites and mediums yesterday. A lovely breezy day with low humidity, they dried quickly.

been that way for me too, till the last day or so. Nice to chat live again, like the last to post contest

This has been loverly, but I do need to make some breakfast and get busy. good to chat and hope to see you about again soon, we have been missing you here.

The stores I go to are far enough away from the university that the students don't even shop there. Know what you mean about fast food places. I can't remember the last time I saw a high school student working at one.

Bye MizT. Guess it's time for me to head off to the dungeon and do laundry. My favorite chore, not.

University is right downtown Montevallo! A lovely old campus, and the town once was there to support the school, with services and things for students, before the interstate and idea it is OK to run 30 miles away for a pizza and a movie and shopping. Back when college students rode the train to school, and had a bicycle to get around.

OSU is like a little town in the middle of the city. But, Columbus and OSU in their wisdom, decided they needed the Gateway. Chased out all the affordable restaurant, etc. They facaded all the buildings and put in high end stores and restaurants. Last fall we went down for an art exhibit and everything was pretty much empty. I don't know where the students go now.

Hi Becky and MizT! Sorry I didn't see your previous posts Becky. My head is still in a cloud!

Hi all, it's a beautiful day here again, that's two in a row. The forecast is good till the weekend so I'm hoping spring is well and truely here to stay.

CynB hope you manage to track down which hospital Broni is in. If you manage to see her send her our good wishes from here in Stevenage uk

Hi Everyone...so good to see those of you that have been away for awhile...or just have been a day late and a dollar short,according to Becky...
Beautiful day here and I'm going tojust plain enjoy it by doing.......nothing!

Hope you all will join in with me if this goes as I'd like......
Bronti....Get Well Sooooooooooooon

Good morning Mamacita,Brenda,Stella, Becky,MizT,
Your day sounds ideal Mama.
I have done the puzzles etc so might go and get some more sleep.

Good Maen All!

The fast food restaurants are full of high school students here. The way our pay scales work, young kids are paid less than older kids and adults. So the fast food places are full of the younger ones, with a few older ones in so things don't go completely loony. Once they get to 17 or so they are scheduled for fewer and fewer shifts until they just get fed up and leave - making room for a lower paid employee...

Having said that, the 'good' older ones are kept around. A friend's daughter, just started Uni, has to turn down shifts because they give her too many. So maybe I should give the fast foodies a little credit and suggest that they give the younger ones a good go, and if they aren't cutting it...

MizT - I love your 'general raking through' comment. I am now imagining leaves and fallen flowers decorating the floor of your home. It is actually a nice image...

Broni - Get Well Soon!!!

June - up in the middle of the night again! That dreaded cat? Hopefully I will catch you before I have to go off and start my day....

Read some stories, got some more coffee, and still alone... talking to myself... um... isn't that a sign of something?

I know, I could chat to Suanne, though she's pretty boring...
