    Mwah! Hugs and kisses all around! I hope your day to day has some quiet moments to remember those who've loved you throughout the years, to love those near you now, and to love and respect yourself, too.

    I've got the gifts bought for our celebration, which will be Saturday, and the meal planned. I still need to write the love letters. Today is my long day, though, so probably not today.

    Good Morning,
    What's it going to take to move from talking stage to action? BBB needs warm tropical retreats. Hope all are doing better, seems sinus infections abound though many are dealing with flu.
    May LOVE come each and everyone way,
    Enjoy the Day,
    Sam I am

    Update - We ended out contract with the real estate agents and will set up interviews for when we get home to choose new agent and more forward to get our house sold. I think our house was too unique for our agents.

    Happy Valentines Day and a spiritually meaningful Ash Wednesday as appropriate.

    I told the mechanic my tale of woe about how I hadn't gotten a paycheck and 15 months and the car dying three days later. More or less begged for leniency. We'll see.

    In the meantime, the furnace went through four cycles last night without the fire catching properly, so I'll be bringing the HVAC guy out today or tomorrow to have a look at it.

    Drinking coffee from the new coffee station today from my travel mug that i *remembered* to bring home yesterday. Unfortunately, the coffee is what Roger Ebert once described as "Terrible." I have new pods on order - 50% off when you register the brewer - so I'm hoping that what I bought will be better than what I picked up in the Office Max store closing clearance.

    Sorry you had to dump the realtors, Raine. I hope you find a new one better suited to a place like yours.

    Good Morning!

    Raine, I hope that you have better luck with this realtor.

    Skip, good luck with your sale. Your new house is looking awesome!

    Bob, fantastic news! Keep it up! Prayers of thanksgiving rising.

    Have a great day!

    Morning BBB

    Happy Valentine's day to all.

    Raining again this morning but hopefully will clear off.

    Happy Valentine's Day BBB!

    Good luck finding a new agent, Raine.

    That initial construction progress goes quickly, doesn't it, Skip? It's exciting. Then they get to doing all the finishing inside and it slows to a crawl.

    Have an early appointment with a hand specialist, this morning, to discuss my thumbs, then delivering valentines to our grandkids.

    Grilling steaks and vegies for DW tonight, rather than enter the restaurant wars.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Made it safely to Savannah yesterday. Staying in a nice boutique hotel. Groupon came through.
    • Dinner last night was Shrimp and Grits at the Crystal Beer Parlor. Don't get much more Southern than that.
    • Out with the old and in with the new. Realtors that is.
    • It's beginning to look like a house Skip.
    • Lou, try the Donut Shop kcups. My favorite. Right up there with Starbucks but cheaper.
    • We are headed to the Savannah Roasters coffee shop and then a day of sightseeing with friends.
    • Have a great Valentines Day everyone.

    Happy Valentine's day ! We shall celebrate Sat. night, since I'm still shacking up with big Mac. Who might I add is a big baby.

    WW WI for me tonite. Hope its a good meeting topic.

    Good decision Raine. How far will the new FoxCon Kenosha WI HQ be from your place? I think 40 miles? Maybe some exec. is looking for a great estate, that they can bring horses onto, etc? Just a thought... Good luck.

    Enjoy your day in Savannah Dennis, sounds great!

    Lou you deserve a break! And a great cup of coffee every day!

    Have a good day !!!

    Mary, I SO wish you could come to my meetings! It's been an AMAZING topic for me this week. But then I didn't do it exactly as written, either ... :)

    Lou - begging for leniency is a good thing - fingers crossed.
    David - I hope the hand doc appointment went well.
    Thanks for all the house well wirshes.
    Mary - that’s a great idea - I’ll mention FoxCon during our next agent interviews.
    Shrimp on the barbie for Valentine’s dinner!

    Lou, try the Donut Shop kcups. My favorite. Right up there with Starbucks but cheaper.
    --

    I ordered those, Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts and some tea with my discount. Hopefully, I'll find a winner.

    Tomorrow, my strategy is to brew the swill as an 8 oz cup instead of 12 and see if that makes it any stronger. I can drink bad coffee if it's strong, but I can't suffer through weak stuff.
