Welcome to the group JohnnieBoy. Glad you joined us.  We've missed you.

Does anybody know why this Mon. Oct. 5 the banks'll be closed? I googled it & it's not listed as a fed. or state holiday.

Officerripley, I don't know why they would be closed this coming Monday.  The following Monday is a bank holiday (Columbus Day).  I haven't heard of any closings in this area but then I haven't researched it. 

All my banks will be open on Monday.

Officerripley, Oct 12th is Colombus Day so maybe you were thinking of that Monday?

Today, October 7, is Dark Poetry Day, to commemorate the day Edgar Allan Poe died in 1849. "Once upon a midnight dreary,..."

Hi, Jozee, it was actually the bank that told me they wouldn't pay an auto-bill on Mon, 10/5 since that was "a non business day." So I just figured that meant no banks open or mail on that day. But maybe they were mistakenly thinking that was Col. Day. (Although they did wait 'till 10/6 to pay the bill.)

Oh ok...got it lol!

Wow is that beautiful, Helen! Where do you find all the pretty pix?

OfficerRipley, I find them on the internet and I made the saying in another program online.  

Thanks, Helen, just beautiful.

A woman is looking for a Christmas present for her husband. She walks by a pet shop and sees a beautiful parrot. The price is $50. 

“Why so little?” she asks. The store manager says, “This bird used to live in a brothel and has a kind of a vulgar mouth.” 

The woman decides to buy the parrot anyway. She brings the parrot home and puts his cage near the Christmas tree. First thing the bird says is, “New house, new madam.” She's a little shocked but figures that’s not so bad. 

When her two daughters get home from school, the bird sees them and says, “New house, new madam, new girls.” The woman is surprised, but she figures the parrot will straighten out once it figures out who everybody is. 

A little while later, the woman’s husband, Frank, comes home from work. As he walks in the door, the bird says: “Hi Frank.”

Remember Mark Kuhn? I don't know what his TBD name was, but I'm sure some of you may remember arguing with him! 

We were best buds for many years, chatting on the phone every night. He passed away in his sleep from heart failure on August 11th. I thought y'all would want to know.

Sorry for your loss Lynn.  I didn't know him but I am sad you lost a buddy to chat with.  Condolences. May he RIP

I'm late to this (been out of town), so here's mine:

Ohhhkay, looks like I can't embed gifs anymore, sigh. Anyway, Happy New years everybody.

Happy New Year everyone!

Helen when I went to your page to send you a message, it was blank except for your profile pic and another small picture. 

A  continuing dream spaning over 3 years. It was a warning. I told it to go away. Years later when in a real dangerous situation I remembered it and was not killed by a truck tha jumped the curb where I had been previously sanding waiting fot the crosswalk light to change. I was saved by that dream.

Thank you all for your condolences. I have a long road of healing.

Hugs to you, Jozee; come here and vent whenever you need to.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and I'm sure there are several big shoulders here to lean on if you need one. 

Jozee,it IS a long road to healing so just take it slowly.  You'll get there!

Keep it clean folks.
