COMMON GROUND COFFEE HOUSE #93

As bad as I hate ice, maybe this will be the beginning of the end of the drought ya'll have suffered through so long. One can hope!

Good morning everyone!

I dragged around yesterday and got almost nothing done so today will be double timing! Of course I'll have to take time out occasionally to pet Jenna. She's home with a fever and feels bad, but isn't really sick, not to sick to play computer games anyway! I can deal with this. Have to call the school in a bit. Chris has a migraine and I sent a note telling them to give him medicine at 10, but somehow his teacher always manages to "forget" to send him. Complaints start today. I can't break up the migraine at school if they won't give him the meds on time. They don't want him to stay home. You would think that if attendence is the priority they would give him the meds so he could stay! (dumb schools )

Is it a full moon this week? Everyone at my house, with the exception of yours truely, is in a bad mood! Even my friends are in a bad mood. Maybe it just been cold and rainy here for too long.

Oh Margo! I just love mysteries. You let me know if you need any "proof reading".

LOL @ squirrel ... not to worry. I shall be careful ... does it like to be pet?

When I was in college once there was a mother and three baby squierrels nesting between the window and the screen in my dorm room. so cute!

Unfortunately I gotta go call a dentist about a dog. HA HA HA ... I mean I gotta call a dentist about an article I'm writing. I don't like dentists and I don't like calling people I don't know. So if I don't come back alive ... you can have a resident ghost and a resident squirrel.

Margo; don't you mean a resident ghost writer?

Cindi: The full moon was February 13th. Hang in there!

Well MargoWriter....you never know who's gonna show up at the coffee house It's great to see you.

I love Maine. Old Orchard Beach, and Baxter State Park. The Appalachian trail ends there, doncha know.....

Expecting several inches of snow in the mountains, not much in town.

Looked at some puppies last nite. Aussie shepherd & lab mixes. All teeth & tail. I think we'll be picking one up this weekend. I will have a very unhappy cat for a while, I guess.

Oooh, I am back, and still alive. LOL @ ghost writer

Yes, Curtis, you never know ... here today, gone tomorrow. I just have a hard time being organized no matter WHAT I'm doing, hence I fly hither and thither. Enjoy your puppy! My cat was I think 7 or so before my sister brought her dog home. He wasn't happy with the new addition.

** passes up doughnuts again **
Oooh, I'm doing good.
**pats herself on the back**

Well, have you ever heard of a shy dentist? I haven't--they talk your ear off while they're working on your mouth, and then you have to go to the ear doctor afterwards. Heh heh ... Anyway, this dentist person would prefer I email him some questions for my article and he'll get back to me ... That's okay by me. I hate talkin on the phone!

Speaking of talking people's ears off
**blush**

The weather report here on one channel calls for a 40% change of rain and storms tonight and tomorrow while another is calling for 60% chance...I wonder which one is right? <<<sigh>>>

Vivian said that four people have gone home sick with the flu. She nearly stayed home today because of her sinus'. One of the people worked on her line and she's been in direct contact with Vivian off and on all last week and yesterday. Vivian wasn't a happy camper when she found out. With my lowered immunity she's always worried that I will become deathly ill. I keep telling her not to worry...I have an APPOINTED time.

Not much else going on here in the great State of Tennessee.

Afternoon all,

Margo: The only reason dentists talk to you in the office is because they have our mouth propped open and we can't talk back.

I got a perm the middle of December and I haven't had my hair cut since! Yes, I look like a shaggy dog...

Anyway, Brent is finished with school for the day and we're off to the beauty shop to get some of this mess cut off and then we're making a stop at Wally World.

I have my supper already prepared and a cake baked for dessert!

Have a good afternoon!

After 27 years of operation, the GM vehicle assembly plant in
Oklahoma City (South of Tinker Air Force Base) produced it's last

This is the first of 12 GM assembly plants to be shut down.
The 2200 union workers will be paid (but not working) until Sept 2007.
Some 800 other workers will be looking for new jobs.
Some 1,800 full time workers that work in parts transportation
(this is just the Oklahoma group) and other dependent jobs are
now out of a job. Big impact to the economy of my area.

A couple of dozen people in security and building support will
keep their job for awile.

I get to go to work today, much of the ice is gone.

That SUV should be put up at the Fair Grounds with the first vehicle produced there . . . .

Evening Gang,
Stoppin' in to let BH loose, & she is wound up..we been playfightin' off & on ever since I got home from work. At least we've been giving Agee some good laughs! But for you lateniters she's still looking for fingers to gnaw on.
Oh, Margo..here on the board she's peacable enough, & here at the house..well She don't care for strangers. Me, Agee, & Sam (our dog) are the only ones to ever handle her. No she don't really like Sam that much...but she tolorates her!!
I brought in some Peach Cobbler, might need to be warmed up some.
Have a blessed night all!

Morning all:

I've been up since about 12:15 am and thought I would pop in. It's raining like crazy here. I'm hoping and praying the creek doesn't overflow again. Last time Vivian had to call in because the crazy thing flooded the roads out and we couldn't go anywhere until the next day. It's been pretty heavy for the last hour or so. It's supposed to clear up by noon.

Hope y'all have a great day!

Good morning all,

I just relieved BH and she is 'antsy' waiting for you to pick her up, preacher. She wants to play and I just don't have the time this morning (peach cobbler was goooooood).

Coffee is on, tea is brewing, and biscuits are in the oven. Next person in can take them out and set out the jelly.

Well, it had been so long since I'd gotten my hair cut, that none of the perm could be saved so I got it cut short and I mean SHORT. Oh well, it will grow and this too shall pass...

Surfing,
§ue

"this too shall pass..."

Don't you mean grow?!?

YES!!! unless you are talking about me, then it would be pass.
I got BH this morni' fore work & you were right Sue, she still wanted to tussel! But I'm just glad to have my old BH back..don't care how ruff she gets with me!
In reality, she was waiting on me when I came thru the door again today. Agee said she hears my truck & is up on the side lookin out the window! Makes me feel plum good that even a little ole squirrel is glad to see me home!!
It was supposed to been back in the 50's today here, somebody got it wrong again. It's about the same as when I went to work this morning, not ccooold, but rather chilly.They said last nite that this Sun. nite it's supposed to be down to 16.That ought to wake me up Mon. morning!!
Sue, my little Agee keeps saying she's gonna cut her hair really short. It's about tailbone length rite now. I tell her it's her hair, but she keeps putting it off. She did a dangerous thing last wkend...had me cut off the dead ends! I got it pretty straight though.
Well i'll try to check in later, gotta go to the bank fore it closes. Have a good afternoon!!

Well,
Againg just lettin BH loose. She might be a little more tired tonite. I spent the bigger part of the evening playin with her, then i put her jug of nuts in the middle of the LR floor & let her have at it! She buried nuts all over the house!!She was so excited she was even runnin on all 4's at times...& thats rare with her.
Gonna try & retire a little early, it's raining here now & that helps me get to sleep easier. Have a blessed nite all!

Just popping in to say good night and...

Pleasant dreams all!

Oh, BTW, today is the 70th birthday of one Orson Henry Rathburn jr. Happy birthday, dad.

Awwwww. Happy Birthday too Dad!

Happy Birthday Mr. Rathburn Jr.!!
Been a long day or two,course not sleepin much ain't helping. Jerry called last nite to tell his momma he's headin for Ark. today to start his orientation, & should start to work Mon.
Took Agee to work & got my runnin around finished so now it's relaxin time!! Least untill BH wakes up from her nap & realizes I'm home. I noticed Agee has cleaned her cage so now I gotta scrounge up another box to put in for her.
Weather turned out nice today after a foggy morning, had to creep most of the way to work it was so thick, with people just flyin by me like they could see just fine! But it's been nice & sunny since about 8:00, but I guess that cold front will start moving in tomorrow sometime. There are so many trees & plants trying to bud out I hate to think about the teen temps coming this weekend.
Well I do have one more errand to run...almost forgot, so I shall return, hopefully!
