Thank you for this Group Harford Helen,

and I think it's okay to be single,

at least we can mingle

without getting into a bingle

and we might even find a li'l tingle - lol!

Good Evening Helen

Helen, the last e-mail I received, about one hour ago has the wrong link on it, it stills s end people to the ls TBD. May be one of the reasons people don't make it to this site.

I'm looking at my last message, whoa!!!typos everywhere...anyway, I won't be posting very often have deadlines to meet and house guests, but I'm still around.

HELLO AND WELCOME

Well, it is 9am on a Friday morning down over here is Ozz,

which means  -  there is only FOUR more sleeps dear peeps!

W O W oldmike, they are stunning graphics of the reality of the weather they are experiencing in Madison at this time, thanks a lot.

I keep looking out my windows for snow and hoping I'll see it soon.  Snow makes winter worthwhile.  I've had the flu since I got back from San Antonio so I couldn't get out and play in the snow even if we had some, but I'd still love to see it.  Hope you're all having a great holiday....4 more days till Christmas.  I'm going to miss it this year.

Hi! New to this site. New to this group. The only thing I'm old at is Life!

hello trish

Hello flipper.

To the person who is looking or snow:

It's supposed to snow here tonight and Tuesday night. I have a shovel on my front porch. Please shovel my snow and take it with you.

Suthinsoul here is your snow

AAWW!!!  Thanks Julia.  You're a sweetie!  Huggs from Tennessee!!

Happy New Year to one and all!

I'm with you on that one Sister JULIA !

Recent good books I've loved:

DNA USA by Bryan Sykes - enthralled me so much I sent off for a genetics testing kit. 

The Seven Daughters of Eve by Bryan Sykes - interesting, but not so much as DNA USA

The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid  by Bill Bryson - about growing up in the 50's - funny and full of nostalgia.

I found Roger Rabbit on YouTube and watched part of it.  I'm also watching a movie on deafness on youtube that is really interesting.  

Next weekend's book: Albert Einstein - His Life and the Universe by Walter Isaacson.  

I am listening to The Logic of Life, the rational economics of an irrational world by Tim Hartford as well and quite enjoying it.  Although, I admit, with my hearing the folks in the car next to me get to "enjoy" it as well, I'm sure. :)

oldmike, even though the video below is extremely sad,

I thank you for placing it here, it is a result of the times

that we are living in right now and I feel strongly that

EVERYBODY that drives a car should watch this one.

I have attempted to `Share' this video where it says

at the end of the video, but nothing happens when

I click on any of the three options, so,

I am asking if you could kindly post the URL or 

the Embed Code of this video  please,

as I want to forward it to my adult daughters

and four grandsons, along with other friends.

This is a MUST SEE video, and I cannot thank you

enough for placing it here today.

Ozzie -- see TornadoWoman's post below for the youtube link.  Thanks TW!

"Excellent", thank you so much TW, and oldmike,

I will act on this straight away, this video needs to reach

as many people as possible, especially the young ones

who often think their elders `worry too much' etc,

as for myself, every time I am aware

that any members of my family are taking a long trip

somewhere, holidays etc, I can't help but remain

silently anxious until I've heard they have arrived safely.

Now there is the added worry of this texting fad

that can be fatal.

I'm thankful for seeing these Comments today.

You're welcome Mike and ozzie!  I wanted to send that to some of my family members and friends  who STILL think they're in complete control when they text while driving.  They say the messages are real short - sure - just like all of those texters who were only texting ONE 3-letter word and either killed or injured others or died or were injured themselves.

The flu is keeping me home and allowing me time to do things I don't usually do. I read the messages about some of us spending the evening at home reading. I have books available and if you have Kindle and you send me your e-mail, I'll be happy to send you a book for free. I can't send you the non-fiction because I'm in a war with the publisher to get my rights back. However I have 2 suspense with romantic elements available. You can check them out on my website and pick the one you want.www.mariagrazia.tv 

How do I become a member?  I'm 63 & still as fun loving as I was my whole life!!

Off to the New England Home for the Deaf.... singing the driving song....

How about 'up the creek without a paddle' = being in a foreign country with no knowledge of their language. So kudos 4 trying 2 learn something!

Thank u Serenity 4 that lovely song!  I've never heard it before, but do enjoy Willie Nelson.  Iused 2 work with the blind & disabled & once knew the letters of the deaf alphabet.  My girl friend & I in Jr. & High school were in orchestras together & we used that a lot to 'talk' when the conductor was working on getting another part of the group to do their parts right.  Sometimes it was a little downtime & others a lot :)  

WOW, broke - where ya been!! So nice to see you here!!

LOL broke, that is a good one = I'll have 2 remember it!
