    G'Morning~
    • Let Farmer's Dog and Geico return to the airwaves tonight!
    • Stay safe today if you are out/about! Head's on a swivel!
    • 'Hood Financial Forum tonight. Me thinks I'm not making alot of friends after the presentation! 8% HOA dues hike is going to rub ALOT of people wrong!
    • "Duane" - the leisure leach from Tampa texted most of yesterday - using "pal" "sport" "friend" to persuade me. I asked him my nickname and he didn't know it. Billy is not his pal; his friend; and only my Grandfather called me "sport!" Ughhh
    • WITW is Lou & C today? Pics please? Give us something to smile about during this miserable contentious thing we got going on here today!

    Mornin' BBB

    Interestingly enough, the election has really had minimal impact on my life. I do not watch live TV, so no commercials. I automatically block or report all things related to politics, so not even much on my social media. I made my decision and voted early last week. I routinely avoid crowds, and am constantly vigilant for bad actors any time, any where. My boys used to say I was paranoid.
    I certainly wish there are no shenanigans. Me dad used to say, "there is enough drama in life without creating more". Pray for peace, but be ready to protect it.
    Sounds like DSIL is improving, Mary. Hope you get Tom back ASAP.
    How was "pumping iron", Steph?
    Last day, Lou?
    M is in Colorado this week getting some furnishings for the new place and loving on DGS.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning !

    We early voted back in Oct day one. I remember going behind the curtin with my mom to vote in the 70s, she'd let me pull the lever (old school voting machines). And the PTA always had their bake sale.

    Us Grammas love dgk time for sure! I bet Christmas is in CO this year, Lee?

    I get some dgs time later this afternoon, after work. Im online window shoppping, I think snow pants and boots are in order for dgs this winter. Outside Snow Play and fresh air is a must this winter!!!

    The Thanksgiving dinner guest list here is complete. We are seating 12 plus 2 toddlers! Can't wait!

    Tis the season!

    Be safe, have a great day!

    Good morning BBB friends.

    I avoid the political thing as much as I can, too, Lee, but have been unable to stop the constant texts - mostly from the side I don't support. I just about never feel threatened or at risk from anything around here. No polling places in Washington, so nowhere for anyone to congregate that would affect voting. I plan to climb in a hole today and not come out until tomorrow, anyway.

    Good Morning,
    We voted a couple weeks ago, but being in Georgia one can always count on drama: none out here but in Atlanta and metro area. So glad we moved out this way in 2005. Working for Fulton County till 2016 I know much of drama and stories was true.
    I think its funny when folks call me Lennie, Leo or even Leonard it proves they do not know me.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Emmaus reunion group caused me to get up earlier than I like. Good people though.
    • Nice lunch with a former HP coworker yesterday which was nice.
    • Georgia had a record turnout for early voting this year. I'm not sure there are many left to go to the polls.
    • TV should be interesting tonight, and tomorrow and the next day.
    • Skip, remind your neighbors that developers notoriously keep HOA dues low so they can sell houses. Once they are gone reality hits.

    Morning gang

    We switched our VPN from Phoenix to Puerto Rico and have substantially less ads, political or otherwise. We mostly watch YouTube and pay to have no ads but if I watch peacock or hulu we didn't upgrade.

    Thankfully most of the people we hang with in Mexico make a point to not discuss politics. Similar to our group here...I know some of us are on opposite sides but we all want the best for each other.

    Stay safe everyone! Especially Skip and your proximity to DC.

    Good evening / afternoon.

    So when you turn out the lights on the room, it kills power outlets too for some dumb reason. So my phone wasn't charged during the Cecilia's still sleeping so what am I going to do to kill time hour.

    We've been in Florence for two days and v continue to walk into every church and museum available as well as eat everything in sight. I've also had more beer since getting to Italy than I'd had all year for sure.

    This is a G RATED forum, Lou! Good Grief! You're going pizz off the MFP gods! Then what? We have no sacrifical offering!

    **Second thought: We could offer us Duane the used car leisure suit leach from Tampa!

    Beer: Proof that God loves us. God wants us to be happy!
