Haha. Could be used for that. haha. We actually went to a local warehouse liquidation sale and bought their hand carts to store fire wood. The work amazingly, and when we need to use the 4th driveway for working on cars, it is really easy to move the fire wood.

My husband says I have not taste buds left. If i cook for others, my husband has to taste the food while i'm preparing because i don't taste spice until it is too hot for others to enjoy!
But hey if that is the way you were brought up, one can't help it!!

I have never tried but I could probably win a spicy eating contest, nothing phases me. THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE A CHALLENGE!!

When my husband cooks he usually says "you won't have to add extra pepper in it I put a jalapeno in it" (as i'm adding more spice to it)....he ususally give me one of these

so no rumbling from the rear here!

SPEAKING OF, HOW IS PETE TODAY, UPDATE PLEASE!!

Great Idea, but poor Tink, she looks cold.

I think Tink enjoyed the snow!! I think I was able to see a snow angel and I think Tink did it...

Hey we need to persuade TN MM to post photos of her animals,, she has a virtual petting zoo on her farm in Tn. I especially wanna see the pot bellied piggies... and esp. her horses..



Gem- Petey is slowly on the mend, we had a dsicussion and decided that he wasn't improving enough and we were going to take him back to the vet Saturday morning. Well, today he actually was able to stand up and greet us and he actually barked a little when someone rang our doorbell... he still shivers, still acts as if he has pain in his abdomen and really struggles to pooey but we DO see improvement, he finished his first round of antibiotics and now starts the second round.... here's hoping we see more improvement tomorrow!

Hey Big Norm!! How are you?? So, I think someone else already asked you this but why do you feel stuck in Florida?? Maybe you were being facetious??

Didn't we see pics of you in the Tropics somewhere? And didn't you love it? What would you like about Minnesota or Helsinki? You might like Northern Maine.

So I was just thinking... although you were stressed about not working... you got a little vacation... LOTS of chocolate eating... new friends and NOW you are going to get paid MORE AND have better benefits? Pretty sweet deal.

Everything you said is true and correct except for one thing, I couldn't call this as vacation, it was hell.
Every single day i sat and applied to jobs and answered questions. I felt quilty going out and doing anything "fun" or shop because I was meant to work.
When I was working before I was a workaholic, and worked long hours and then all of a sudden no job.
I don't think I told anyone how i found out about being laid off. My husband and I were on vacation in Scotland, we our flight landed I turned on my work email and saw a "you've been laid off" email... so what does one do when going to Europe for vacation and getting an email like that... PARTY! nothing else to do!! came back cleaned out my office and start over...
MOnday is a new day!

I know... not fun and not easy. Your "laid off" email from the employer is pretty lame. Wow. MUCH worse than a break-up by text message! Guilt sucks... and yeah, it would be nice if you could actually ENJOY yourself when not working. I was just thinking that you could look back and PRETEND you were on a vacation. Do you start your new job on Monday? Or will you get a REAL little vacation before you start?
