I'm ranting right w/you, Marilyn and TPatricco! I was 'learning' so much about this interesting nation--and laughing too! ;-)

Rant: Everyone from meteorologists, to psychics, to the Farmer's Almanac are predicting an awful winter. As if every winter here isn't awful!

Rave: Tuesday is my birthday!!!!! I've survived 42 winters......what's one more???

Do you think someone thought Molvania was real?

Rave: Gorgeous weather, sunshine, cool and breezy. A nice winter ahead ( maybe it will make up for the summer)
Rant: People who rant about people who post rants after the rant time is up.LOL

RAVE OR RANT: I am going out on a blind date tonight but I don't think he is really blind, maybe nearsighted.

RAVE: I bought a really spunky outfit to wear.

RANT: That I am reduced to accepting blind dates.

Rave:
Peeky and your honesty, it is cute! Think of it as an adventure, whether he is Prince Charming or a toad, every life experience is important.
Good Luck!

Thanks. I know it isn't travel related, but I will let you know.

peeky, you never know!
I met the Yankee while traveling, ended up staying where I met him, we have traveled ever since

Rave: All are healthy today. Remembering that wonderful flutter (7x). The Patriots. The Sox will do it.
Rant: Cold and rainy. I can hear the heat grumbling. Our old-time furnace is like the one in "A Christmas Story" and probably costs us enough every year to pay for 3 or 4 trips to somewhere sunny and warm.

By the way Hyacinth, I love your screen name. When my cousin was having a baby, he told everyone if it was a girl he would call her Hyacinthia. Luckily he had a boy but I still love hyacinths.

Rave_ Thanks Marilyn! We had a blast when she was in St. Louis!
Also, go St. Louis Cardinals!!! We are going all the way!
Rant - None

Also, Peeky - ......Go For It! Have the time fo your lfe!!!

yes, I love Mrs Bucket's name.

Yours truly,

Mrs Slocum

Rave: The terrible smoky area is finally better. Not perfect but one can breath.
Rant: My deck that was tilted and has been jiggling was finally worked on last week. But the city inspectors arrived today and did not approve the repairs, not up to city codes, so workmen are coming back next week to "try again".

Rave: The posters who cheer eachother on...ie Bonnie B's diet, our baby, Peeky's blind date, etc.

To Peeky: I met my husband on a blind date...I had already had a couple of lousy blind date experiences and was pretty much over the whole concept, but a coworker convinced me to go out w/him. She coincidently knew him but wasn't the 'setter-upper' and didn't even know the one who got this all started. Long story short, it was the best blind date ever! I've had friends meet their significant others this way too, so sometimes it can work out...And think of it this way, if the date isn't what you wanted, than you looked cute and now have another great outfit!

Peeky, my curiosity is peaked--pun intended How did the date go?!? "trip" report, please

Yes, we are waiting for the details. Hope you had a fantastic evening...
Anne

Maybe Peeky's evening is still going on...

Hey Anne, what happened to the hedgehog?
(as close as I can get)

Marilyn, you're right--I've been married so long I forgot!

Marilyn,
the next day the hedgehog was transferred to a more hospitable environment. A warm one with lots of Love!!
Also, some big wigs were in town and he could not be seen in the Marketing Directors office!!
A

Anne, I am so relieved. Thanks!
