Pour yourself a mug of your favorite morning brew. Pull up a chair and join us for our morning roll call here on the BBB.

    Mornin' BBB

    Hmm, anyone know POFS?
    Will you be driving, Steph? A muscle relaxer (if you aren't driving) plus lidocaine patch would be helpful.
    Working today. Missing a memorial service in Maine for a fallen field trialer. She was a bright shining light and just fell down dead at a dog training seminar. 50 years old. She seemed younger to me, but everyone under 50 seems young to me these days.
    After work, driving to New Hampshire to judge one day and then run the girls the next.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Long week. Long long long.
    I reached County Animal Shelter Director and have this POS flagged for no adoptions through them. Not sure how to do same with Pet Finder and others. Though we have animal control director on standby if we see or smell anything awry. Still angry.
    Might grill out tonight.
    Five more days before we leave for sunny CA and Napa!

    Cheers

    Good morning.

    Sorry to hear about your friend, Lee.

    POS is Point of Sale and anything with a mommy and daddy word in it is just Russian Misinformation, Kelly.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • I got the car serviced and donated platelets BUT... when finished I got up and walked 20' and looked down and saw blood all over my arm and shirt. I guess they didn't get the 'plug' in. Apparently, I'll live.
    • It's a dreary day here in GA. A good day for watching football.
    • I hope you are feeling better this morning Steph. Safe travels.
    • Safe travels and good luck Lee.

    Sorry to hear about your friend, SGM! Go TCU Frog's today!

    Dennis: I had sticker shock this week! Got the Rubicon oil/filter changed: $135! YIKES! Apparently the 392 requires synthetic and some special filter! Good grief!

    We hosted a blood drive at 'hood two weeks ago. I did the double platelets and while driving to lunch with DW a while later, felt like I was going to "black out" - got really light headed and dry mouth. Freaked me out a bit.

    Way to poke at the Russian mis/dis/mal information machine, Lou! Now you know they're watching and monitoring the 8 -10 of us in here everyday going forward! блин!

    Good Morning,
    Cloudy drizzling day with highs only in 70's
    Hope you are feeling better today Steph.
    Love Napa Valley, but has gotten costly, even so would love to have a couple months to fully explore it again.
    Shoulder and arm still very tender but glad to be rid of sling and brace.

    Wisconsin welcomes you Kelly Gary

    Good day hanging out and showing my dear friend around our little lake town center. Boy it's sad to witness her memory decline, worse than I expected. I got her back, while here, of course! I've had to help her a bit with misplaced things, etc and timelines.... She went in 1-2 weeks ago for lots of tests and she is awaiting results now. Really just needed a break from her dh and dd whom are understandablely concerned and watching her every move. She needs some space to breathe... As she put it.

    POS to has meant more like "pc of kittenpoo"🤣 to me.

    We will head out some where tonite for dinner, then take the long way home tomorrow and stop for fresh apples and pumpkins.

    Glad you have arrived safe Steph! Hope you find a chiropractor there.

    Good luck Lee and Girls!!!
