Chit Chat Thread for the week of October 06, 2008

Where are the usual suspects???

I hope EVERYONE has a GREAT week.

I am still fighting this cold that I have. I am hoping to feel better soon. This is the only thing that I dislike about fall, getting sick.

Every day I get to feeling a little bit better, but not at 100% again yet.

Miss POI

Having three kids, I've seen many times where one of them would bring something home from school, and have it passed all around, and on a couple of occasions, get it again from someone else at school.

I am amazed at how many parents send their child to school knowing that their child is sick. The reason is that the parent can't afford to take time off from work, so they sent the youngin' to school.

Monday...

I hope you feel better. My wife has been battling a cold for over a week now.

And another monday, mmmmmmm wonder what i am going to do this week.

Have a great week!

While trying to fix a problem with IE 7 I downloaded and installed Beta IE 8, now when I click on unread posts it takes me to the top of the page with the unread posts rather than to the unread posts.... The trials and tribulations of an internet surfer... Something other than update 4.10 to complain about...

Jeez, Miss POI. This being sick thing is dragging on way too long. We'll have to send you some virtual chicken soup and a hot toddie to get you better!

Feel better real soon!

Redskins do it again.

There is no denying it now...
In the northeast it is definitely cooling down.

Feel better Miss POI. The flu and cold season has yet to awaken!

I am also having various problems with Beta IE 8. I have switched over to using Firefox on my PC.

Everything is now as it was but I still see a phantom image on this site... I have a spook in my machine.... Does anyone else see an incorrect picture for the wal-mart combined listing in the recently added or updated page? (Click on poi files at top of this page, scroll down to "view all recently added or updated" and then scroll down to "Wal-Mart, Sams clubs & Wal-Mart Supercenters in one file") Is there a picture of walmart there?

Just great, 401K's just took another dive after today. That is just wonderful.

At the bottom of the "in one file" listing there is a pic of a Wal-Mart.

I am getting an unusual add type picture there, but when I renew the page it changes to the correct one. I've been talking to JM about it but have not found the problem yet....

I saw a political cartoon over the weekend. Had two guys, one looking over a newspaper. The one asks what the other is doing, he responds looking at my 101k. First guy says don't you mean 401k? Second guy, not after this week!!

One of my neighbors and his wife Just had Triplets today. All 3 were healthy..7 weeks early but almost 4 pounds each. OK now the amazing part she is 50 and her husband is 52.....I am glad to say it will take a lot of help and they have great neighbors.

I agree glad it wasn't me. done that and been there don't need any more kids retirement is to great.

Just got 1.5 inches of rain over the weekend and snow on the top of the mountains. Winter is on it's way. See where Walmart is already putting out christmas stuff with sales.

We have not had any rain since hurricane Faye.

Hope it will swing back up before my retirement time

Rays beat the White Sox (now both Chicago teams have been eliminated) to win the ALDS!

What a season!!

UGH!!!

Down in Flames.

One of the Local Headlines put it best: Wait Til ... Nevermind

I'm here!

It's time to buckle-up the seat belts,and enjoy the ALCS. This when you will start to people dressing statues in team colors along with your downtown skyscrapers windows the neighborhood homes flying the Ray's Flag.
I can only hope you can make it to the park for at least one game or more, because the ballpark transforms into a magical place for the fans from here out.
Go Rays

Oh, oh, what in the world do you do with a 3 month old baby that gets REALLY mad?? He is such a sweet little boy at times tho!!!

Up here in MASS, the nights are really cool. Hubby is trying to paint the outside front of the house, and Home Depot is not shipping new exterior paint to stores. He had to drive somewhere in New Hampshire today to get 6 more gallons to do the job. I hope he can finish before it gets too cold.

And I thought hummingbirds would all be gone south, but saw one lone female hummer sipping nectar from the nasturtiums last week. Poor little thing, I hope she makes it to a warmer clime.

Our dachshund is going crazy, trying to catch a rabbit, squirrel, or chipmunk. They are everywhere in our yard, chowing down on the bird feeder spills.

I rather see the Rays win before Boston wins. But it would be nice to see Torre and the Dodgers take on the Red Sox in the Series, and if he won....THAT would be awesome. Also i would like to give my condolences to all the Met fans out there who saw your season come to a crashing halt yet again on the last day of the season. Yes i am a Yankee fan. And YES we stunk this year.

Sparky and I are here in Albuquerque this week. We're here at the balloon fiesta. Here is a video clip I made yesterday during Sparky's
first balloon ride.

H Hannah, great clip;)

Miss POI

Man, where does the time go. Work a lot of overtime and have no extra time for the computer and your windmill disappears.

I take a cold f/x once a day. I have not had a cold in two years. My mom who turned 95 years old today also takes one a day and has not had a cold in a year and a half.

Hello Painters is there a specialist on here that knows a trick on how to mask the jambs so you dont get a paint edge when painting the body Thanks

Get some well-deserved rest, and hope to see you up and well very soon.

Miss POI, when you get over this cold, go and get a Flu Shot. My doctor makes me get one, knowing that I go to Florida for the Winter.

Hello everyone,

Hello gps-newbie

joemac

My whole family will be getting flu shots this year. I just can't believe that I am still sick. I am hoping to feel better tomorrow.

Miss POI

1 down & 2 more to go to be champions again!

The only problem I have with the flu shot, is it does not always help. I have not been getting the flu for a couple of years, so last year I got the flu shot to be safe. THEN I got the flu, and got it bad. They said the shot did not work for the flu virus I had. Well, we can hope this year's shots cover us better. Good Luck! And hope you feel better soon.

Deborah

Never thought this would make me happy...But I hope it keeps dropping...that will help the economy...I Hope all is stabilized soon.

Got rain in Houston today - first since IKE. Sure don't need anymore of that IKE stuff. Still have a lot of blue roofs and trees laying around. We are still recovering but now have power and water.

Albuquerque… Had a very nice visit there a couple years ago. Visit Historic Old Town if you get the chance. Granted there are lots of ‘Touristy’ shops in there but it’s like a little village/town in the middle of all that hustle and bustle of a big city.

The huge adobe San Felipe de Neri Church on the north side of the square with lots of shade trees and on the east side the locals spread out brightly colored blankets with their handmade jewelry, pots and other assorted items. Lots of winding alleys to all sorts of different shops.

If you have the time try a pleasant drive along the Turquoise Trail (Highway 14) to Santa Fe then on to Taos. You’ll pass through the eclectic town of Madrid before reaching Santa Fe. Madrid was the location of a scene from the movie Wild Hogs and is a recovering coal town that was discovered by artists and has been reborn.

This town is also the location of a bar, The Mine Shaft Tavern, that from the outside looks like a real dive. Once inside you’ll find a friendly dinning-bar-live band on stage place. The weekends are pretty busy with biker groups, (no, not those kinda bikers. Not that there’s anything wrong with that kind.) who like the winding road tour to and from the area. At least it was when I was there.

A collection of the artsy type of people have migrated to the town and provide a wide range of shops from home made bar soap, candles jewelry, cloths, incense to high end rugs of exquisite color and quality, (read big bucks).

Didn’t mean to come off as the New Mexico Tourist Department but just the mention of Albuquerque brings back a lot of good memories of a great visit. A Google search will bring up some PanOramo photos of the town and other shots from along the trail.

Enjoy your stay

If you can find some Sassa Frass root in your area it will help clear you up a bit. Just bite/cut off a little bit and chew on it, (don’t swallow the root). If you have a big enough piece you can boil it to make a tea and drink a couple cups a day. Old Indian fixer upper. Works for me. Honest Injun

... made it through Tuesday

--it's the dog's fault
