INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Got the no melt chocolate ready and I did not have beans for dinner lol. Be in your pocket Queenie. Seems everything I've had was an early morning call. Not sure I could handle afternoon.

Patty - Just plain good to hear from you. Lurk away.

Shy - that is the sweetest Balto story.

I finally got thru to somebody at Verizon. Ever try to find a repair #? We have buried telephone lines but they cross the creek behind me elevated. The pole is leaning at not quite a 45 degree angle (propped up by trees) and the line across the creek is entangled with vines, limbs and assorted junk. I was supposed to HAHA have a call back yesterday afternoon. Any local person knows this is the only bridge on this road and can clearly see the leaning pole. I don't think my 37 new neighbors will want their new service interrupted. Another builder got out and drove around yesterday but nothing else has happened up there. I would think water lines would come first at least the main lines. I think it's individual tying into the water service but all but one of the lots will be too small for a well.

Need to fly. Driving a Sunday School friend into town for lunch and her pharmacy.

PattyP.......lurk if you can, check in when you are up to it. Rest...& eat ice cream....

Queenie, in your pocket, sorry, I am not sure what surgery you are having.

Cubbie, the photo with the lights strung across the flat area is a skating rink. They have world class skaters perform in the summer. It's busy year round, fun to watch. My DD took lessons there when she was a kid. Took the bus up with a group from school. We live 70 miles from this ski resort. Sun Valley.

Hello to all, Dutchie, a Xmas photo of the grand baby ? I almost lost this post, whew ! hate that

Sass, I contacted Norton, by instant chat.... and they took over my computer & fixed the problem... I also uninstalled a malwarebytes program, and another Driver update program.... Removed anything I didn't know what it was, from my programs feature ..... Works really fast now......

I know other sneaky little programs ride piggy-back when you install something.... and they can change the way your computer works....

So far, so good....!

MAGS! Wouldn't we ALL love a nice back-rub?

Home from surgery (this was the cosmetic tweaking, post-lumpectomy). Shaky and nibbling slowly on a banana, but very glad to be home. Cat's wary.

Queenie - Glad you are home. Sounds uneventful which at this stage of our experiences is marvelous. Take good care of yourself and get rest. Hope you've stocked up on movies, warm blankies and treats.

Rosie Posie - missing you here and your very wise voice. Hoping you're just having some family time.

Sas, and other partiers: but was it Vosges chocolate? I'll be licking the crumbs out of my bedspreads.

I predict a very early bedtime tonight! And yes, the surgery and recovery were uneventful, thank dog.

Patty, rest and take care of yourself. We know you're lurking. We'll try to behave until you are up to joining in the mischief.

Queen, glad all went well today. I hope you are asleep by now.

Patty, glad to see you check in. Figured you were still wiped out after your hospital stay. Keep reading and we will try to keep you entertained.

Holeinone, now I know what you are talking about. Sun Valley is a big deal in the figure skating world.

Sas, that cable wound around an auger happened here a couple of years ago. Had to look at the photo to make sure that wasn't taken here! What a mess, many businesses were without Internet service for a couple of days. The other thing that happens a lot around here is people dig up the lines with backhoes by mistake. That's the midwest for you - we've got more power equipment than sense.

Oh hey Cubbie, what state are you in and what time is it there?

I just remember....SHY- again, I love your fur babies story. It belongs in Reader's Digest!! My mutt (Belgian Mal and Dutch shepherd, I think) does the "aroooooo"when she tries to tell us something or when she is happy. I wonder now if she has husky blood in her.

Good morning ladies- off to the dentist for an early cleaning, some work fo finalize my new contract with client and cleaning company coming today. You know what that means, the "cleaning before the cleaning!"

Loveroflife- yes, that photo was taken by me!

Morning everybody....! Going to see Theresa, and her "neighbor" Wilma, who is 87 and her little dog Abby! Bought Abby a cute little squeek toy for Christmas, and am taking the gals scarves, etc! Abby LOVES chicken, so I've got some turkey all cut up for her....

My computer seems to be working fine again..... so far.... I have no news..... so I'll talk to y'all later!

Thinking of you Peppermint, Blondie & Rosie.... you guys take good care!

Sleep well Peppermint! xoxo

Rose, Ms. Sas is right. All we have of you is your words, but you do what you need to do. Just want to let you know that your voice is important and very much appreciated.
