Sudokuaholics Anonymous 10

Tami... :( you beat me too it.. I will change it to the 19th then.

Welcome to page 331

Rolanda, you snooze, you lose

Speaking of snoozing, I am off to bed. Got to be bright eyed and bushy tailed for all my wonderful little students tomorrow.


(I hope you hear the sarcasm in my voice)

Suzy... I'm gonna annoy Dana and pick the 25th.

That is what I have Suzy. And it has attached itself when I have ticked to close it down, It is sitting there and will not let me access anything on the computer.We are trying to download something to clear it away.
Tami, your students sound like some Belinda has at her school.
Off to get my hair cut.

June.... Have you tried completely rebooting the computer?

Greetings, Everyone!

June, I have also heard about the security scam that pops up on a computer. Since the virus checker Ken ran showed no problems, I'd be inclined to believe that! How annoying that you hadn't slept well last night! Hopefully the nap helped a lot and also hoping you sleep much better tonight! The lamb with figs and honey sounds yummy! When you finish cleaning Ken's keyboard, you can drop by and clean the one I'm using. It's disgustingly filthy.

Suzy, I'm going to try our other computer. For some reason, I wasn't able to listen to Alie's song on this one. VERY frustrating!

Heidi, I hope you find your checkbook! (At least we know where ours is, which is good because we had a call Sunday morning from our credit card company. Fraud alert. So our credit card has been cancelled and they will issue a new one. Not a good time to be waiting for that, as D is here now, and her hubby will be here this weekend. We are out of the habit of carrying cash.) How exciting that you're building an owl nesting box! I hope it will be put to great use!

Suzanne, spend that money well! Enjoy the Masons/Eastern Star fundraiser! The Shriners Hospital is a great resource for families with sick children! I also hope you enjoy dinner with your friend Helen!

MizT, it's SO hard to stay warm on a chilly damp day! I'm glad to hear you have a sherpa throw and polar tech shirt/jacket! Hopefully making the soup helped warm things up as well! Enjoy lunch with Al's brother tomorrow! Good for you for making the round trips to the mail box! Enjoy the sense of accomplishment!

Tami, were the boys throwing the rock inside the school? If so, that could have led to damages, as well as injuries if they had thrown accurately. A 10-day suspension may help they reconsider if throwing rocks is a good idea.

Suzy, I'll choose the 20th - for no particular reason.

I'm going to try to be in bed by midnight. We need to get D to the train by about 7:20 tomorrow morning.

{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}, positive thoughts, , healing vibes, and prayers for all of you! Good Night!

HAPPY Everybody!!!!

Suzy, I am picking the 23rd, my birthday, but the 29th would be good too as it was my mother's birthday. The year I was 21 she celebrated her 12th birthday

So we have
9 - me
12 - Alie
13 - Dana
14 - Alie's BG
16 - Tami
19 - Rolanda
20 - Julie
23 - Brenda
25 - Heidi
29 - Dad/Grandad

What a way to never grow up Brenda! She'd always have an excuse for tantrums...

I posted a pic of the cardigan so far. Not much done yet, but pretty good for her first try I think.

Anecdote from today: I took Dana to the bank to deposit her inheritance and outside was a guy selling raffle tickets. The prize was a really great wooden, carved bench that he had made himself, the recipients of the money are his cousins who lost everything in a house fire. The bench was amazing! I'd love to win it. Turns out it is only the second one he has made and not what he does for a living... I was impressed both by his skill and by his efforts to help his cousins.

Morning all. Coffee is available. Grab a cup, sit down and enjoy.

Suzy, it sounds like the guy with the raffle is talented.

Julie, my school is hard to describe. Think of 2 diamonds side by side. Where the points in the middle meet is squared off. The classrooms are the walls of the diamonds and the square in the middle. The rest is open. There is grass and trees in the middle of the diamonds. The boys were in the middle where there are a few benches also. Remember, I live in South Florida. They keep us open to the elements.

The 9th is a double birthday in my family, so I won't compete with you Suzy, I will just ask permission to stand beside you on that guess ♥

29th...lol :)

Her due date is the 26th, so the 29th is quite possible. Just because Dana wants to get it over with soon, doesn't mean that the baby will cooperate. Dana will have to learn that babies are not the most cooperative and convenient critters. I think this one will start early teaching it's mom that lesson.

everybody.

Good Morning All... My chosen date will be the 22nd Suzy. It's also my son and DIL's anniversary and hasn't been selected as of yet... hoping all goes well and that you will soon join us in the wonderfulness of grandparent-hood.♥
Julie, you really stay busy and don't get much sleep normally...how often do you get in bed at the time you set as goal when posting I wonder...I always become distracted and end up much later than planned. You asked if the year Reina is taking is a break in seeking her degree, and the answer is yes, unfortunately, she has had several breaks and she is becoming frustrated, yet determined to finish as the school of her choice ( San Francisco State). It is so expensive and grants and financial aid is drying up very quickly, then schools have started downsizing staff and class schedules get funky...so its become trying to get the classes needed to complete this final year...hopefully when she goes back, things will come together. I keep my fingers crossed.
Have a great day/night and a better tomorrow. Peace.

Suzy, I'll be 11, if it's not already taken. Just popping in here before I check my email.

MIL will be moving to another hospital on Monday. The care facility she is in now told her yesterday that they need her bed (?????) and she needs to move. Hubby is trying to find out what is going on because she was supposed to be at the care facility for 3 months. Need her bed? Well, she needs it too!!!

I was sitting on a bus behind a mother and her young son.
Her boy kept looking around and making weird funny faces at me.
After a few minutes I tired of his antics so I said,
"When I was a young girl my mother told me that if I made an ugly face it just might stay that way."

The little ba$tard replied, "Well, you can't say you weren't warned."

The Importance of walking

Walking can add minutes to your life.
This enables you at 85 years old
to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing
home at $3,000 per month.

I am down to just under 50 email ... and I think I'll give up for now.

I went for fasting blood tests this morning, and I have my doctor's appointment tomorrow. I will be so glad to have the arm checked out. Some days it is so bad I can't even lift an empty cup!

Think I will head home and grab some lunch. I'll drop in when I can. That's a threat, not a promise!!!!

That's easy to read, Theresa. What sort of people can't read it? People who can't read at all?

Thanks for sharing some great stuff, Theresa. Hurry back. We love your fun posts. Good luck at the doctor's tomorrow. I hope you get some useful answers.

Good afternoon. I found out that my Aunt Lil passed away peacefully yesterday morning. I thank you all for your support and prayers and I am glad that Lil did not linger too long.

Hi All,
Condolences Tami and family. Seems like Aunt Lil did it her way, and mad a peaceful exit into a better world. May the Dove of love made the way sweeter for her and the entire family. Peace.

Tami and family.

Condolences Tami and family ♥

RIP Aunt Lil

Tami, thinking of your Aunt Lil and the extended family. Did she live close? Will you be able to attend the funeral? May thoughts of happier days make this time of grief a bit easier.

Today was ground hog day, and it is reported the little rascal saw his shadow. Six more weeks of winter. Well, we have not really had winter yet. I closed my doors and windows today at 5:45. Temp is still in high 60's. I sat in the sun today in shirt sleeves. It has been a lovely day. forecast was for cloudy , nope we had sun most of the day with high floating white clouds to make the blue skies look bluer.

Rest in Peace, Aunt Lil.
I'm glad that she was able to spend her final days on her own terms, and passed with dignity.
Tami and family.

Tricia, Aunt Lil moved to California about 6 years ago to be closer to her daughters. They will be having a service for her on Saturday. She will be cremated and her ashes will be buried here, next to her husband, in March.
