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.

    Good to have Looooooceeeee home. She ran into the house straight up to DW and gave her a long hug. Couldn't get the phone out and working in time before DW nixed it (she does not like being photographed with her hair tied back). She had to greet everyone, even the cat. She is still very much a puppy. Nine months old tomorrow.
    Lou, I wholeheartedly agree with Sam about letting insurance company deal with it. Live the life of luxury with Cecelia across from the Mall.
    How was Tucker's first night?
    All the games this weekend were pretty good with 1 big upset. Lou nailed it with his comment about the Kentucky Derby being the most exciting two minutes in sports, but the games this weekend came in close second in their final 2 minutes.
    Love the "dreadmill".
    Ron's hips and knees seem to be working pretty good in that photo with the dog. I don't think I could ever get in that position comfortably before all my injuries and old age. I am happy now just to cross my legs because sometimes I can't even do that.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Morning~

    I am WOWED by the KC/Buffalo game and outcome last night! T'was quite an impressive grudge match the last two minutes. HAPPY for Mahomes. I like his style.

    Welcome home #BAL!

    Mr. Tucker has made himself at home. Zero accidents thus far. He is however, a doody machine! Did perfect overnight in his crate. Went to SBUX with me. And while I am in office, he's climbed into bed with DW for a couple hours before 8a breakfast time.

    Gonna try to get in with vet today. He's congested. Not sure from what. All shots up to date.

    Thanks everyone for the Welcome home to Tucker! He's going to fit in well. Not a barker.

    Court w/ neighbor tomorrow. Not looking forward to any drama.

    Cheers,
    Skip

    Morning BBB

    It is 36 this morning. Yuk. Florida is supposed to be the warm state in January.

    We need to buckle down and find our next place today. We are homeless again in 2 weeks. Nothing warm enough is looking super exciting.

    Good morning BBB crew.

    Loved the weekend's football.

    Glad Tucker is settling in well.

    I can picture BAL overcome with joy at the reunion.

    Your nomadic life amazes me, Steph. It would kill me, though. I am a big fan of stability.

    We have the same 36 degrees, here. Knowing that we have Florida temperatures makes me feel warmer.

    Trying get her to sit still requires treats.

    I can feel my blood pressure dropping as we speak!

    Good morning.

    The contractor the remediation guy knows is coming today to have a look and I'm borrowing the neighbor's contractor for a bid today as well. Adjuster shows up tomorrow.

    Ron does that squat every morning while brushing his teeth. He is more flexible at 48 than he was at 28.

    Good morning BBB friends.
    • It's Monday, breakfast with the ROMEOs.
    • We've got a Washington puppy, a Florida puppy, a Connecticut puppy and now a Virginia puppy. Our K9 BBB family is growing. Did I miss any? Obviously, we have mature dogs too.
    • I have homework to do for our HOA Finance Comm. meeting tomorrow.
    • Good luck Lou.

    Submitted my application (chronicles) to run for the HOA Board.

    I'm either going to get elected or run out of our community. I've been pretty vocal about our burgeoning budget that is just north of $7M now!

    Only two warmish days this week and I'm fixing supper at lodge today and agreed to sub at high school tomorrow; Toad will get detailed Wednesday. ordered some bling for Toad all on back order, some not expected till July.
    Tucker looks already settled in
    Glad to see Lucy back home
    Young pups has a tendency to make folks more active
    Skip your HOA is higher than some cities and counties: hope they are grooming lawns, indoor pools, tennis courts, free golf courses, Been most things in HOA, a thankless job.
    Lou, I believe in telling them to handle things; I don't like to have to fight with adjusters and contractors and be a go between.

    I love all the doggie pictures! Mr, Tucker (welcome home to him!), Lucy (and welcome back to her, too!), Sassy, the dog-sits ... so much pooch joy! Enjoy the moments loving and being loved.

    ((((Lou)))))) I'm with everyone else ... let the landlords deal with the details, and relax at the hotel. Are they paying for meals for you guys, too? You are always welcome to come stay here for a bit, but the commute might be brutal.

    It's a quiet day here. I had an AA meeting early, then my video call with my bff, then the group coaching thing that I've been doing. My goal today is to work out a few details for our Valentine's celebration and put together some music for the next time I lead worship at that other church (late February). And take a nap, of course. And plan my workshop for the week. :blush:

    Hope this mess lands in a good place soon for you, Lou.

    Hope Steph and Ron land in a warm sunshine filled home too. My old boss lives the winters in his $1M home in picture perfect St. George UT. Its only been in the 50's there too.

    We got overnight snow into morning til around 10am. 3 to 5 inches. Its in the teens.

    FL is having big IT networking issues on their end and its getting old. I get intermittent VPN. Ugghhh I'm losing interest.

    Boat show this weekend. And also will do an overnight sit for my great niece 2 and great nephew 9mos. Their Mom & Dad are going on a little one night get away to Madison Wi.

    Lisa. Jimmers aka baby J is so adorbable!

    Looks like Kelly and dh enjoyed the Wisconsin bday celebration. Too bad the Packers choked. Ack

    Good evening
    What a week and weekend. Absolutely exhausted. Didn’t know a person could cry so much. Still very sad and my friend is a mess. She’s going to grief counseling starting Wednesday.
    I’ll send you a couple pics from the weekend
    Welcome Tucker to BBB. Did the dig cry all night?
