    I just noticed that the dates on our threads for the past couple days have been off. I realized it because, according to our thread, yesterday was my birthday. :wink:

    But, in truth, today is my new Dsil's birthday. Happy birthday, Mitchell! I just flooded his fb page with happy birthday dog memes. He LOVES dogs.

    Busy day today, so I'm off. I hope you all have meaningful, productive, fulfilling days! Hugs all around!

    Wow! Good catch!

    Busy day ahead. Gotta find a place to live. We are under contract - but the buyers won't let us rent back. They need the house "cleansed and free of spirits" the day we close. There is about a 30 day gap between closing and getting into new house. Ugh..... Logistics!!!

    Gotta run - but hoping this is the one......

    Cheers

    Mornin' BBB.

    Yep, somehow I started the incorrect dating trend Monday. Happy birthday Mitchell.

    It just seemed you had your birthday week a couple of months ago, Lisa. Time flies.

    Ugh. Snow thrower on tractor kept throwing its drive belt yesterday. Turned an hour job into a 2 hour job. #needabiggertractor.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning.
    You said it Lee. Need a bigger tractor. How much snow did you get?
    It looked like a Blizzard here last night. Only a small amount on the ground this morning. My car is outside warming up because ds has the garage fixing his. Errr
    Make it a great day.

    Good Morning,
    HAPPY HUMPING!!!!
    Congrats on contract, now we need to get Raine and Tom's under contract.
    Happy Birthmonth Lisa! Sunday we will go to Birthweek.
    Dave, hope wrist is still doing good,
    Steve, hope all residual cold and flu are gone,
    I am about as conservative as they come generally; Bible thumping gun toting deplorable
    Sunny but cold here for the South, rain in store for weekend again.
    Enjoy the Day,
    Sam I am

    Good morning.

    Mary - there is a third path. New groups of people try to forge one all the time. All I want is market realist, socially indifferent and that acknowledges there's an actual world out there that requires our engagement. Libertarians fit the bill for me except for that last piece - and that's a pretty big piece.

    Speaking of pieces - any plans for Pi Day?

    Congratulations, Skip! Now pack up your kitten and get the kitten out!

    Good Morning

    Early in 6:15am, so early out, for some shopping. Need a new outfit for Baltimore, then its off to ww mtg. What can I expect there in Baltimore?, never been! Im downtown on the harbor.

    Bibles, guns, big kitten tractors, pieces of Pi, cleansing of spirits, and birthdays, sounds like a very interesting mix! Whad da partay that could be!

    Spring/summer is in the air! We're planning a couple fun trips come April, and having some houseguest for a weekend at our place too, and another trip in June to NC, Im excited, I need a couple get aways!

    Hasta la vista

    Morning BBB

    Congrats on the contract skip. Can you send the inlaws on a vacation? I assume FIL isn't really well enough..

    It is perfect weather here in Houston. Unfortunately we work a ton so I don't really enjoy it. I need to find a patio for dinner.

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Signing in early, here on the West Coast, after a night of insomnia.

    Great that you have a contract, Skip! We went through a similar issue when we built our house. There was a three-week gap between closing on the sale of our old home and taking the keys to the new one. Easier for us, though: it was two adults, a teenager and a dog, no aging parents to provide for. I'm sure you'll find a workable solution.

    "Perfect weather" and Houston are not terms I generally associate with one another. Every time I have been there it was hot and so humid you felt like you were swimming.

    Get my stitches out this morning, and a cast will replace my splint. I'm thinking the cast will be heavier. That will be annoying. sigh.

    Good Morning BBB.
    Our listing launched yesterday. Sign is up and Tom will put up his big a** sign over the weekend. I’ll share a picture :D
    Congratulations Bill!!!
    Lisa - happy birth month!
    Lee - sorry about the tractors. If we lived closer you could share Tom's Kaboda.
    David - good luck with the are recovery. Sounds long but worth it.
    Steph - I hope you find a relaxing patio
    Mary - dentist at 7am? Wow!
    Sam - we love you just the way you are.
    Lou - are we tired of all the political ads yet?
    Kelly - you are a super cool mom
    Do good out there everyone.

    Good Morning!

    Skip, congratulations on the contract! Get the pod container over to your old digs now, and start loading!

    Dave, best wishes for your stitch removal. Think of all of the pain free wood turning that is in your future!

    Have a great day!

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Happy birthday Mitchell and welcome to the family.
    • Congratulations Skip. Yeh, it could be a rough month. Residence Inn in Woodbridge is an option.
    • The cast won't be fun Dave but it is progress.
    • Lee, rumor has it Tom may have a Kubota for sale soon.
    • Enjoy the warm weather Steph.

    We got about 8 inches of snow.

    Congrats on contract, Skip.

    Hmmm, Tom is gonna sell the tractor?

    Thanks, though remember, we still have to void the house of spirits and have it "cleansed." They seriously wrote that as a condition/clause......

    Perhaps it was the cultural and language barrier - but they didn't laugh when I said, "....my mother in law does not convey"
