    In my experience trombone players are nothing but trouble and rather dorky. I'm sure you are waaay cooler.

    He IS.. He just needs to remember that! ;-)

    Thank you! Hope your day gets better soon. I'm having no luck sleeping, so I'm trying to keep myself occupied.

    Going to my first football game tonight, funny that my home team winds up playing in my new home because of snow! Strange first game, but ready to have some fun!

    Then home for the holidays tomorrow! Just hope the 10 hour drive isn't hell! Plus a job interview waiting for me when I get back from Thanksgiving. Things are looking good!

    Thank you whisperinghands! :)

    And Frank, just a fan of NY football. It's always the sport that took the 'backseat' in my family. Dad was a big basketball fan, Mom is a big baseball fan, and both would watch football occasionally, cause it's a fun sport to watch, with no real strong affiliation. I think my Dad liked the Jets more only because JET was his initials haha. So I'll root for both the Jets and the Giants.
    At least I do have a pretty decent drive to look forward too, the PA part was pleasantly scenic on drive here. Sure beats the NY<-->MD drive I did for 4 years...5 hours of NOTHING (which I know you understand!)

    Ah that makes sense, except I'm opposite you; way bigger football/hockey fan than basketball/baseball. It doesn't really matter this year, both NY teams suck... :))

    The only cool part about the MD-NY drive is going over the sasquehanna river and the delaware memorial bridge, but yeah, the other 4 hour, 50 minutes suck without music... ha

    I am very thankful for my son, family and friends! The last two mentioned may not always get me but atleast they try and mean well. I would be nowhere without all three.
    Also, thank you universe for the free acoustic guitar and computer chair we snatched from our neighbor's trash curb last week! After a good cleaning, they really both seem like they're in great condition. My son thinks they may be haunted! lol

    I've gotten so much furniture this way I can't even remember exactly how many pieces. The best is when it's in my own building - I can snatch it before it even hits the curb! :-) got a really nice microwave cart that way last year. It amazes how wasteful people can be, but it is a really huge effort to get shit from my building to the salvation army and they take MONTHS to come pick up.

    Frankie, I too hope you left today. Tomorrow doesn't look like it's going to be fun.

    Sharing a bed with my cat is almost as difficult as worse than sharing a bed with a person.

    You're covered in fur, WHY are you hogging the blanket? Also, you're like 1/10th of my size, WHY are you taking up all the space, forcing me into a tiny corner?

    Nope, I weighed the options and I'm gonna brave the snow/traffic tonight. Just got to get through work, then take my time and not rush. The drive should take about 2.5 hours without traffic/delays, but I'm preparing myself to sit for 5.... I sit in traffic alot, so I don't usually get stressed unless I'm late, and as long as I make it home with enough time to sleep before dinner tomorrow then I'll be good. :)) #-o

    Holy shit!! I love this time of year.. But it's a LOT of work!! Had a cat dog fight that required simple butterfly stitches in the dog's ear! As I finished that up, I smelled my two pie crusts burning!! So I had to make two new ones which required a trip to the grocery store for more baking soda and graham crackers for the pumpkin pie's crust!! Ugh!! But I got it done, eggs are shocking in the fridge, turkey has a dry brine on it, venison switched from Apple sauce and orange peel
    Marinade to salt, sugar and cracked pepper rub, pie filling is prepped, crusts ( second set) are done and chilling in the freezer. Bacon is cooked, yams are shaved boiled and quartered; soaking in a carrot, yam juice sauce, cornbread is cooked, separated, celery walnuts onions and corn are steamed and ready for being made into stuffing, rolls are precooked and cooling on the bread shelf, green beans are snapped and soaking in a salt mix to soften them
    Pre bake... And I didn't have time to make mushroom soup, so I had to buy it at the store! On yeah onions fried and pulled, drying on the shelf with the bread! Whew!! Good thing I had help! Poor Zoe... Tried to steal a piece of bacon from the cat!! Lol anyhow, hope everyone's holiday tomorrow is a rocking one!! :-D

    Stop, you're making me hungry!

    And never attempt surgery while baking - the timing is just too unpredictable. Surgery first, baking second. (Just wash your hands in between.)
