accch.. just take it on the chin... I've been ticked off a couple of times over the years .. didn't realise I'd done anything wrong.. and it smarted for a minute.. but just remember whatever it was it was something that Admin thought was wrong and removed it.. it couldn't have been that bad tho' cuz you're not suspended.. (y):sneaky:

2 ft of heavy wet snow. My son has our big 4WD and he is stuck at his job. Power out since 4am all over the area - I have internet and phone (only) via my portable generator for now. At least we have a wood burner to keep us warm and I was able to heat water for coffee.

Pretty much the same here..except, thankfully we still have power. I'm keeping my Ipad and phone fully charged so if we do lose power at least I'll have those...

Not been a great week but, feeling better today and will be taking a walk and popping into the supermarket later when it's quiet. There is still some snow on the grass outside but the pavements are clear and the sky is blue, it's cold but almost sunny. Feels like quite an adventure :)

your pavements are clear ?.. wow.. ours are calf deep in snow, and thick ice.. we did have beautiful Blue skies today tho'..... have you seen my photos on the photo thread?

Pleased to hear you're feeling better , sorry to hear you were poorly..:(
 
Got up 5 am. Went back to sleep. Awoke 7:12 am then read bible, neighbor made coffee, cooked breakfast, rolled over to AutoZone for lock and door antifreezing stuff.

Came back, applied and now rewarming self. It's clear, so going to cross fingers and hope the church (Living Hope) will stop by with truck for food distribution.

Missed past two weeks. T day and the head guy was down with flu. So wait till they arrive before shopping.

Now about to leave a scathing rebuke for Auto Zone....

Baked cookies last nikght. Once I got of bed, 3:30pm, I took a new pill for sleep, did not put me down at night but I sure slept well today. Any way, I have bagged up cookies and delivered to my neighbor, another widow, that is recovering from chemo. She needs to put some weight back on.

I have another bag ready for neighbors catty corner from me. They have 3 sweet little boys. They have albinism so are not out much during the day. They must be off on an adventure as the sun is down. Winter is a blessing with early dark and overcast skies, they get to get out to run and play all the little boy games.
 
The repair garage called to tell me my car is done. I walked to the repair shop to pay the bill and get my car. They gave me $200.00 off if I paid cash. I was kind of nervous walking up there with what I think of as a lot of money in my purse. I wore my purse that you slip over your shoulder so it was not dangling for someone to grab. No one has ever grabbed my purse over the past 40 years. When I was young someone grabbed mine though. Lost a lot of things I needed plus I loved the suede purse. Anyhow I got up there safely. Got the car and it's running much better. And they made it safe too.

Went shopping at the expensive grocery store and I was careful not to buy too much there. I'm going to go to Aldi's next time.

We're listening to music and watching tv with it muted. I often do that with the close captioning on.

Have a good night y'all!

A sub-frame for the front, fixed power steering problem and also the tie rod problem and an oil change. There was something with the rack n pinion, too. Thanks for asking! I would have much rather got another car but didn't have enough saved--probably never will as my savings usually goes for Vet. bills and at times car repairs. I'm thankful it was repairable and they made it safe again. I'm also glad to have a car at all. I need one with the weather element here and also for appointments. She told me that the car should last for awhile now==I certainly hope so!
When I took it in they told me it was not safe to drive it. I believe them because the car was acting wacky. It's a wacky car!! :LOL:

well that's fantastic that you;ve got those jobs done..the steering rack job alone in the UK could cost anywhere between £500 and £1500... but most of all having that done, you've got peace of mind for hopefully another few years
 
Hubby and I decorated our tree today. The doll under the tree means the world to me. When I was only 5yrs old my Mom's Mom passed away in November. My Mother said no Christmas Tree that year and no visit from Santa. My Dad got very upset because me and my sister were only 5 and 7 yrs old. Christmas morning when we woke up my Dad had left both of us dolls. From that day we both put our dolls under our trees. A few years ago we were both offered $1000. for each doll. Not all the money in the world would we sell the dolls for.

Yes, I'm very glad it's done. Repairs on cars cost more now too with inflation. The total for all they did was $1520.00. It's the most I've ever paid for car repairs. I'm glad to still have a car. It drives much better now and I'm also safe now when I drive. That's very important.
