Today I Learned...

[Today I Learned...]

That my husband's boss, his young son, and his parents were held up by gunpoint at the golf course last weekend. Scary!

on the golf course of all places? that's so bizarre - must have freaked them out! Hope they're alright.

[Question of the Day - 02/24/08]

Amylou, I'm asking you kindly to please leave me alone.

and I have no problem whatsoever with doing that, it's just that with all the chaos going on over "there" it would be nice to leave it there and keep the Farm a place of calm and peace... that's all.

[Question of the Day - 02/24/08]

Whether we admit it or not I think that's the reason many of us do. However, I've recently found that in some cases (for example, on the Officials), it can be very harmful IF some unstable individual decided to focus on you, especially on a regular basis. That can be quite frightening.

I've had enough of this...

please PLEASE for the love of all things holy, take this where it belongs, not here!

[Question of the Day - 02/24/08]

I don't know if it's the problem or the cure..lol

smarter words have never been said Ames! :045:

[I Hate... Version II]

Thanks Ref - there's a reason we have the Farm and that "other place" is for the conflict... leave it there.

[Caught in the act, the Echosoftom story]

Hmmm - should I rethink the whole hanging out with Sharon in Florida thing? I don't want to end up on the latest episode of "Cops!"

[Question of the Day - 02/23/08]

I am a VERY light sleeper - will wake to the furnace comng on, a tiny creak in the ceiling fan - anything...

[Benmont Tench and the Watkins Family Hour - 02/21/08]

Wish I could see that - it's obvious that our guy Benmont has many hidden talents! Would love to see more of him as an individual (outside of TPaTH).

Sharon - gonna make us drag the bra story out of you?

[Question of the Day - 02/22/08]

definitely the Dream Package(s)!

[Redeeming Dream Package Stuff]

Thanks Linda! will have to go and retry the second line of each!

now I'm totally confused, I placed three orders (apparently) with fanfire - not sure which code is left!

[Today I Learned...]

^ Thanks Farmers - kind of looking forward to the tiny road trip and seeing all the old relatives

[Redeeming Dream Package Stuff]

minus ohhh $15 for shipping the book and shirt

was waiting to be pissed off about shipping and tax, thought for sure they wouldn't dare, and they didn't.

No tax, no shipping cost

not sure why they needed the credit card info as there were no changes to it. Probably just in the automated system.

[Question of the Day - 02/16/08]

Wow MJ! That is gorgeous!

I've gone on and on about my special place so much you all are probably sick of it!

In the big bed at the Flagler Beach house, late afternoon, ocean out front, taking one of those coma-like summer naps! Heaven!

[Redeeming Dream Package Stuff]

Really cool thing is - I got my dream package codes and redeemed them - damed if the coupon code for the store didn't come in ten minutes later! someone (or some computer) is on the ball at HCC!

[Today I Learned...]

My grandma died this morning - not too sad, she was 95 and had been a widow for many years so she was totally at peace and ready to go. Have to make a drive to Toledo in the next few days - hope the weather works out.

[Illinois school shooting leaves 6 dead, 16 wounded]

Any time something like this happens it hits home - but this one really has us shook. NIU is about 45 min. from here - a really nice very rural campus. Mitch and I go there for the steel band concerts. I have a feeling most of these victims are going to be local. :085:

[Happy Valentines Day Farmers!]

Happy Valentines Day ALL! Smooch someone you love!

[Question of the Day - 02/14/08]

Hells Yeah! :003:

[of the Day - 02/14/08]

definitely, happens quite a few times - I have a hard time getting through an album until I've played it 3-4 times. Some though (Like Last DJ) I just love from the first listen.

[Beagle, a Breed Long Unsung, Wins Best in Show]

Captain and I watched Uno this morning on Fox - he is a really pretty beagle! Was happy to see that he is as "misbehaved" as any other beagle, usually the winners sit quietly and all, but he was baying away and they kept having to feed him treats to get him to stand still!

Funny, we happened upon Cap a year ago and have grown to really love him - it seems with Underdog and now this it's the year of the Beagle! Can't go anywhere without him getting alot of attention.

Hope people realize that to have a well-behaved beagle takes alot of training... would hate to see this become the new "it" dog and then find all the lazy owners sending them to shelters.

[Question of the Day - 02/13/08]

I'd say "Captain, I know you love Daddy but do you have to pee every time to see him?" and he'd say - "Mom, when is this white stuff outside going away - I miss our walks!"
