Good Morning!

[Goaway]

Good Morning! I opted for the fresh ground coffee this morning, the beans were in the grinder but i cannot remember what beans they are.
Cool, a blind test for my buds:
1. is gourmet worth buying?
2. can i tell by the taste what variety i am drinking?
hmmmm, 1.pass: it is definitely yummy ; 2. my taste buds lack the sophistication to identify the beans so that's a fail.
more research and taste training is called for: Coffee On!
Not a great purpose for life but one i accept, lol

You can if you do your own roast. The flavor is different - if you buy roasted beans, you often get an unwanted sour taste. Sour cherry, bitter lemon, moldy dirt.... After I learned a few things about roasting coffee, I wont be going back to pre roasted or ground coffee. If I can avoid it!

Good morning!! Rough night sleeping. Trains were loud and one guy seems to like to keep his hand on the horn as he drives through springfield. It woke my son up and he was terrified. Odd, as this happens once a week.

Same. We are also ready for 2021 to come to an end. So sorry about your sister's beautiful dog.

ty, he was a ragdoll. He loved children and would sit on their laps like a stiff stuffed toy. They would would just hold him and pet him, his ears and his nose and he would lay there. I would always watch to make sure they didn't hurt him. He was a love bug... The female though, she was traumatized as a pup and never grew to accept strangers in the house. She was attacked (sniffed) by a pitbull as a puppy. I think what triggered the trauma was the owner ran over and beat on his dog. I Never understood why he did it.

Good morning. Lots of hurt going on here, including myself. Our DIL called last night to read me a letter she found that our son had left. We're doing better in general, but this has been a tough, tough year. We thought 2020 was bad. I'd like to pretend that 2021 never existed.

I have to look for the positives, as hard as they are to find right now. The biggest positive is our precious grandchildren. You can't help but laugh at their silly antics. We will be out of town with two of them over Christmas. We need to be out of town now. It helps. Another positive is our upcoming cruise in January. If covid goes crazy and the cruise industry slams shut again, we have plan B. Both plans involve warmth and beaches. Another positive is my tanks are somehow doing well, even with my neglect lately.

Life can throw some crazy curveballs...we just have to make the best of those situations and keep moving forward. At least, that's what I have to do.

Have a great Friday! :)

Just for you. I will skip the other sales going on. And only attend here as I do not want to buy 5 different shipping modules.

no shipping mods for me on this one.
curbside pickup. ;)

That makes it easier for you! That extra 30-50 makes it difficult to dedicate to a sale. So it has to be worth it for me to buy that module.

Also, with my state of mind last night, sunny decided to make faces at me.
I should have made a video instead.

good morning all... :)

Good morning everyone. Well, I got my bone screws, bits of my hip bone removed, and other stuff no one wants to hear about. I am not taking pain pills at the moment and feel somewhat okay, so I won't complain. It sounds like a few of us are having a rough couple of days. I hope everything improves for you.
Here's something you can laugh at. When I was leaving the hospital the nurse offered to help me go to the bathroom. I told her no thanks and that I would be embarrassed for her to see my private bits. She said, " trust me, I have seen plenty of them already." I was hoping for some kind of compliment after that, but none came.

I have screws in the garage but Jill wont use the drill to put them in so I guess I am stuck going to the doctor.
Cody went home today. Grant says Paige is obsessed. I suppose that is a good way to start out.

I have spent the morning on the couch trying to get the pain and muscle spasms out of my leg enough to make the trip to the doctor. We were supposed to meet Jeanna to give her Lucky. Jill went while I remained at home. Not a happy camper.

You know I love them! ;Joyful

MRI, steroids and Neurontin. I am probably going to turn into a Chupacabra from all this stuff. Maybe the pain is from the tail trying to poke through the skin.

I hope you continue to improve! Here's a funny for you. True story. A VP we knew was having surgery years ago and was having a fit about wearing a gown (and being "exposed"). Protocol was protocol and he had to abide by the rules. Because he made such a big deal about it, when he woke up from anesthesia, he had a bright red ribbon tied...well, there.

Good evening all. Been out for a couple days. My Covid booster killed my butt for a day. Looks like I missed a lot in two days!
Hope everyone heals from all their health issues!

Congrats!

Good morning, coffee done. Had some oatmeal. Actually goes very good with black coffee.
Doing my best to be happy this month. The last several months have been hard on me, emotionally.

I don't know how some can just open up and say it all. I wish I could at times. I've always bottled everything up.

Merry December! We have warm weather for a short bit. Going to have to enjoy what I can with the little one and the dog. Sunny can't handle winter well.

Please feel free to message me anytime! I may not be able to help but I can listen. Sometimes that is all we need!

Many of the young ladies that worked at the store went on to be nurses. One gave me a barium enema. I guess she was nervous and kept jabbing me. I finally said Lori, it's 2 inches to the left.

Welcome to the weekend. Let it be better than the week!

 

[Mike from TN]

Good Morning Everyone!
Going to be another warm day here today, high 60’s.
I got a few hours of leaf blowing done yesterday. Only made a dent in them but I feel like I accomplished something. I might do a little more today after my other weekend chores are done. It’s parrot cage pressure washing day here, WAHOO!
I only got “hit” twice during the night. Both clusters were fairly short lived, about 1/2 hour each and about 5-6 out of ten on the pain scale. Got about 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep, which, for me lately, is a huge deal.
Hope Y’all have a fantastic day and remember, SANTA IS WATCHING!

Good Morning! I'm up and out, going about the business of living, and
business is good!

 

[ReefGrammie]

Good morning! I have an idea for a new reality TV show. You put a bunch of accountants in a room and tell them they have to build a TV cabinet without saying bad words or hurting each other...how hard can it be to build a TV cabinet????? Don't ask me. I said a few bad words. I yelled at my husband, who yelled back. It was so much fun for my off day. ;) We finally ended up speaking to each other. The cabinet turned out great...after we had to practically take it apart and put it back together! I'm retiring from the TV cabinet building business. End of story. :rolleyes::)

I'll stick to uncomplicated things like reef tanks....and Excel macros. At least I know I can build those. Have a great Saturday! ;Joyful

Good morning. Someone started another thread about dogmas. I love those. I can post pics of my reef dogmas
