Good Morning !

OK, GOOD MORNING back to you (and everyone else).

Hmmm... one reply...
maybe it hasn't been long enough?

4... 3... 2... 1...

OK OK, I got distracted reading your posts.

Zero ! I'm not an 'aholic' anymore !

So Puppy I see your on the wagon. I see I'm, a shooter now, better bring back my sheriff.

Thanks, Puppy! And Good Morning to you although it is afternoon!!

That's me in the back.
Sheriff?      

Avitar enlargment
I'm off to round up the bad guys. Must be nice to have a chauffeur Puppy.

Now I can see the star... and know why he's so fat.

Belated morning Mrs.M

I stole another one of your pics, Puppy. Thanks, it's an improvement. BTW, he's not fat -pleasingly plump perhaps.

Good Morning/Afternoon/Nite Everyone

Well Done Puppy!!

O my!!! Lexie, that is sooo cute!!!!!

Morning/evening, everyone!!

Hey.

Mornin all Don't have the time to find a coffee pic but I agree Mrs. M & Puppy, More coffee!!!
I'm still here, just sooo busy listing my iris. It's going very well. Wow, does it take alot of time! Next year I'm going to have to get some hired help. The neighbors think I've had a makeover....lost my head and replaced it with my butt. (always bent over in the yard)
Thanks for the turbo lister tips. The only problem I've had with it is locking up, and a couple times it rearranged the pictures! Hmmm, gremlins???

MG, glad yo were able to salvage the iris after all the bad weather you have had...and seem to be still having!!

Yea, our weather this year is really messed up. Rain rain rain. Yesterday was only in the 60's and last night almost down to 50. Just crazy!Hope this doesn't mean our winter is gonna be really cold. I'll be down there sleepin on your couch Mrs. M! Oh, shoot, can't bring my babies tho.

...but morning/evening to you all anyway!

MG, I am in SC at the moment. It is beautiful here this AM, but it was raining when I left Naples last night. Our weather has been hot and wet.

Girl !! I am so jealous of you! Traveling all over the place.....I can't find time or money to go to town for one day!

MG, you got to know ..it is sooo darned hot in Naples in the summer, you can't stand to stay there!!

Goodmorningeveryone!

I had a really nice , but too short trip to NC. I have decided to move there along the coast. It is really pretty and the humidity is much less than here in S. Fl. I am looking for anyone tha want to help me pack! LOL! I know...I see you all running and hiding!

Morning.



That's all you're getting out of me.

OOhhhh, can I go too? I've only been that way once but I'd love to go back. North/South I don't care. Just somewhere away from the snow.
Actually we were there in January, and only saw the military base where our son was graduating. And alot of highway in between. Where is nice?

Hi Mrs. M...So your moving. It looks like puppy has your packing off to a good start. I will be with you in spirit. Let us know when the house warming party is.

Mrs.M is going to be a southern bell! You'll need to talk slower and with a southern drawl!

When does the move happen?

Gee, thanks for the boxes, Puppy! I really need them...and Jake, Gosh, I don't know about taking the whole house! LOL! Jabber, I have gotten pretty good at the southern drawl, living in Tennessee and Florida! LOL!I haven't gotten the closing date yet from the buyer, but before 8/31. You ALL are a hoot!!!

Morning y'all!

Mrs. M, any online sites to look at houses in the Carolina's?

MG, I went to excite and then brought up realty.
You could also call 1-800-334-8188 and ask them to send you a book of listings. I think yahoo also has a realty site. Of course there are plenty on google...you just need to look on a map and decide the area. NC is divided into coastal, middle, and mountain, I believe. Pricing there is a lot less than here and about the same as Tennessee. Less than Indiana and Illnois.Taxes are much less too.

Bah, I hope taxes are less!! Have to mail ours wed.... They went up $1200 last year to $4400!!! OUCH!!!

That's the way Indiana taxes are too, MG! My guess is, in the county, there, your taxes would be maybe 1000. In town, 1200 or so.

We have a tax added on called a "view tax". No thanks to the Chicago crowd moving to Galena (historical town - used to be neat with lots of antiques- now it's just little Chicago and the locals won't go near downtown! ) If we can see two miles or more from our windows we have to pay the extra tax! Somehow that seems illegal.

MG, you have got to be kidding!! My youngest son lived in a suburb of Chicago for a few years. I hated even visiting him there! I know his taxes were high and his property was way too much for what he had...IMO! On the otherhand, he loved it and still goes back to visit often. I guess to each his own.

Hello all. Hope everyone has a grand day!

Raining here, but guess we need it.

Morning all.

Good Morning
Feels like fall here. 60 degrees so far. But it's nicer to work outside.

But, I bet you won't miss it, Mrs. M.
I haven't traveled much, but of the places I have visited I like the weather in Victoria BC. Although I would not want to leave the US.

Jake, I'll probably waunder down this way come winter, but summers are terrible here, IMO! BC is lovely, Jake.

Keep the candle burning..see you all in the AM!

I have never been to Florida but went to the World's Fair in 1984 in New Orleans. The humidity was awful. I can't handle it. Couldn't wait to get back to the 100+ days here.

Jake, yep, is the same here!
And...

LOL Mrs. M, those toads look stoned!!

MG, lol, is THAT what stoned looks like!!

You can't fool me... you already knew!

Now really, Puppy, how could you know what you looked like when you were stoned??

ROFLMAO

g'nite everybody.

The closer I come to moving day, the behinder I get! Got to get the cars serviced today so I can take some up this weekend. Close moves sure are easier!

Hmmmm - somebody tell me when its Friday over there please? I cant be buggered using my brain to figure it out.

Its a lovely Cold, Foggy Soggy Friday here.

Just over 9 hours to go.

Depending on where you live, Puppy!

I think she was asking for the free snipe friday start, so that would be California time.

Ahh Puppy - you know a cheap skate when you see one

5 hrs 45 min & counting to free snipe Fri.

Lol, Puppy, I know..was being a smart A**!

Afternoon everyone! Guess you all are busy placing your free snipes!

Everything I'm finding, I either don't want, or can't afford!

Same problem here Puppy. Well, slightly different. I cant find anything I want or need.

I am finding lots of stuff. If we could just lick that affordability problem, we would have it made. C'mon Puppy, you always have the answers.

I think Mother Nature is playing a joke on me! I moved from Naples and missed the hurricane...not! I moved to Coastal NC and am getting the same this afternoon! Lol! Oh well,it must be time to "party"!

Strange weather this year... I can't believe it's the middle of August. It should be 85F+. It's been getting down into the low 50's at night for a week now.

I do prefer this to what should be though.

All moved in Mrs. M.?

Puppy, pretty much except my piano that will come probably next week..or when they get the notion! Can't rush these movers!
Looks like we will get just gail winds and a lot of rain and storm serge here. Nothing compared to the poor folks in ,Punta Gorda Fl. They really have had it terrible. I pray for them.

Our hurricane is gone, but the cleanup. The sun is out and I'm going for a walk on the beach!

Mrs.M, So how do the beaches of NC compare to the beaches of FL? I trust the move went well?

Jabber, I lived on the Gulf in Fl. so NC beaches are not the same since they are on the Atlantic side. Both are nice but more breezes here . That I enjoy...and the people are so gracious!
The move was the move from hell! Lol! But aren't all moves? I still haven't seen my piano! Guess it is on a world tour! Lol!
How are the shirt sales going,Jabber? We get so many laughs from them!

Hmmmm....have you done a search on ebay for pianos? Recognize any of them?

Not near what I think they should be doing! Reordered them in ash gray instead of white, hoping demand would be significantly more -- not happened yet! Guess I need to keep my day job, huh? "Welcome to Wal-mart!"

Jabber, maybe I better check out Ebay pianos!! LMAO!!

I am surprised your shirts, Jabber, haven't done well! We get sooo many comments!

Hope everyone has a delightful day!

That's the plan ! Morning all.

Hi kids,
Someone sent me >THIS< I thought it was cute and described some fourm members quite accurately.

OMG, Jake! That was really cute!...and I like seeing your JAKE at the bottom!!

Hi Mrs. M. Good hearing from you.
I like it better than the avatar thing but guess it's not allowed anymore. Hope I don't get the boot! Maybe I could use the dancing letters to welcome someone, do I dare?

Pray tell, Jake, what is the difference? We are allowed to post as pixs, but not as a sig? Hmmm...so, what if you like to repeat the same pix?

........has anyone seen my piano???

ARRRGH!!

I am 3 days late....but...

Good Morning!!!

YAY YAY!!! Its nearly Spring!!!!!

I too am all moved, but no where near unpacked yet. I still have more furniture out on the lawn that I have inside. Maybe that says I need to have a Garage Sale

Rick - if you happen to be around.....will have my puter set back up this weekend hopefully.

Lexie, hope your move goes smoother than mine...has anyone seen my piano floating around the net???

We paid $900 for removalists (packed everything ourselves), well worth the expense though. If the leadlighting in my crystal cabinet got damaged (very real concern with Hubbie moving things), it cost around $800 to replace.

I hope your piano has stickers/postcards from all the places it has visited on its journey Mrs M

Lexie, here, it is much higher to have a mover move you! The piano, which is a Baby Grand, was $1500 alone! And, if it is damaged the insurance they give you pays by the pound not the value! Anyway, it still has not showed up. Maybe I will receive it this week...I hope! And, please, Lexie, don't wish it to have stickers on it..what a thought!!

That’s what I call an early home pregnancy test.. .. .. .

Mrs M - I am sure you moved alot further than we did. We only moved about 13 miles and that was what the $900.00 for.

Hope your piano turns up sticker free

Rick - better late than never.

Lexie...well...yes!About 900 miles further, but that was just the piano. Furniture is many thousands to move. I think it is better to sell it and start over! I have never used a mover here that I didn't get loss and damage and by the pound, that's not good! Anyway, glad you finally got into your new place.

I finally received my long lost piano yesterday!....and Lexie, only one sticker!! LOL!

What kind of furniture do you have,as I am looking for king size beds for my kids Bedroom.

A rousing GOOD MORNING to all from wet South Florida!

Good morning from Manila, Philippines. Currently experiencing a very hot weather here. How's everyone?

Another wet and 75 good morning back to you (and everyone). You might note that over the past few years, the board traffic has fallen off tremendously ; there used to be some very interesting threads. Enjoy Manila, I visited Subic Bay several times years back and enjoyed my time there. Never got to Manila, though.

Sorry I was not able to log in for quite some time. I was so busy. Subic is still the same though it's a little bit quiet now. In Manila traffic is so terrible but still a nice place to visit.

Even more so now. It is a shame as this was a very lively forum. Hopefully it may come back to life.

Hey Dave! It took some time, but it appears Rick chased everybody off, then left himself! = jabber

I noticed. I also noticed that one of my first posts here was back in 2004!!!

Hey Dave!

I noticed in a couple of your old posts, you mentioned residing in southern FL. If still there, I hope you're OK after hurricane Irma. - jabber

Thank you. No, I now live in Chester, SC.

Good morning, everyone! Have a nice day!
