Mornin' BBB Pretty sunrise.

Mornin' gents

Gentle rain all night. In the forties this morning. Packing up for a deer hunting trip down in Virginia. Would like some venison in the freezer. Dogs are coming with me so that all DW has to do is take care of the cat, who she loves, and the Maltese that outlived DMIL, who she hates (she hates the dog). Ina Garten's bake…

Happy New Year BBB Packing up for deer hunting trip. Taking girls with me and staying at an AirBnB. Might get a day or two of bird hunting for the girls. Hope everyone had a nice and safe New Year's Eve and New Year morn. Was looking for a good quote for the new year, and the above reminded me of all the community service…

Evenin' BBB Hanging with DW...playing a board game, eating takeout, and drinking wine. Its her birthday wish. Guess I'm cooler than I thought. Coconut cake later. Funny Lou and Skip. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' gents. Seems the access problem is fixed. At first, I worried MFP was blocking access from non premium subscribers. I am a little worried that DW now has time to think about projects that will involve me the anti DIY guy. Be OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB. I have access to community and my groups now via mobile without using back door. Saw optometrist yesterday. Nice lady and good office crew, but whacked me $1250 for new specs. Definitely an upgrade with the frames, and prescription has changed a little. DW is up an at 'em on her first day of retirement. Big…

Oh yes, I am well aware of the above. Actually, there are about 3 veterinarians involved in supervisorial roles as well as a couple of former technicians, so there is some sanity but they all want you to drink the kool-aid. DW took the money and ran leaving me holding the bag. Reminds me of snipe hunts from my youth.

Actually Dr Nelson, she uses her maiden name professionally. Whoa, Dennis, please explain what you mean about the coporate structure of heart&paw. I gots another 3 years there at least. Found a back way to get in via mobile as well as laptop.

Mornin' BBB. I found the back door! Through notifications. I thought maybe the MFP gods shut us non payers down, and maybe they have and haven't figured out that we have a back door. Sure hope family can make it down, Steph. Today is DW's last day at the practice. Bittersweet. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' gents! Whew. I snuck into this group chat through a back door. I could not access via the normal community link and "my groups". So I clicked on notifications and got in via a link to a new post to this group chat. Bill does sound like he is feeling better. So glad Sassy was able give Rita some solace. She is such…

Mornin' gents. Warming up a bit here. Heading to VA next week for deer hunting and 10 day forecast looks to be pretty comfortable for sitting in the woods. Maybe a little wet. DW is retiring from our little practice and Friday is her last day. She is 65 and is kinda burned out with the daily grind. The 31st is also her…

Just to be clear, I agree with Lou as well. Just telling you that it is a syndrome among people who rescue. I think its a load of carp.

People who rescue dogs with bad behavior are often unapologetic for their loss of control in those situations. They feel you should understand and forgive the behavior since the dog is a rescue. That dog should never be put in that situation again since they now know without a doubt it is dog aggressive outside its pack.…

Morning BBB. I actually felt worse for me DW losing him rather than for Georgie being lost, LOL. Georgie is a 14 yr old Maltese that we inherited when my DMIL passed away. I think he is autistic, actually. He is a weird little mother fletcher. Proved it yesterday disappearing after DW stumbled over him outside during a…

Mornin' gents. Meant to post yesterday and got distracted. Read posts after I left roll call yesterday this morning. Prayers for Connie and her friend. So sorry about her fiend's boy. Prayers for Mike's DD's friend's family and friends. Prayers for those trapped and hungry in Buffalo area. Prayers for Bill's breathing.…

Mornin' BBB We lost Georgie at 3 am today. Mary took him for a quick walk down the driveway and accidentally stepped on him on the way back to the front door, spooking him to run off into the back yard. The spaniels were with me, still in bed. We have been searching the neighborhood since. Then he just showed up after 5…

Merry Christmas gents. Prayers continue for Leah. Small family gathering wit too much food being prepped. ...Glory to the newborn King!

Mornin' BBB Hark the herald angels sing... 8 degrees this morning and has nicely warmed up to a balmy and sunny 17 degrees. Peace and love to all.

This does indeed deserve it own thread. Congratulations!

(((Mr and Mrs Wilson))) All you need now is a neighbor hood kid named Dennis!

Afternoon gents. Praying for Leah. I missed why she was in ICU. Glad to hear you are feeling better, Bill. Very cool key rack, Mike. Creative. 1 degree this morning. Over a 50 degree drop from yesterday morning to this morning. Brutal. Be OP ;-)

Afternoon BBB Congrats Tom and Mary! Holy Matrimony! OVI! 1 degree here with a wind chill of -17. Not as bad as in the mid west, but it went from 55 to 1 degree in less than 24 hours. Hope Tucker got some good meds. Think he got COVID? Hope Kris' tummy is better now. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB. Power's out. 55 degrees and 50 mph winds. Thank goodness for me wee generator. Sorry about the pillow destruction, but hey, at least there was no dukie or wee wee to clean up. Going into work and DW to mind the generator. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' gents. Power's out. Raining sideways. Thank goodness for me wee generator. DW is still limping around. PA diagnosed piriformis syndrome. Prednisone and a muscle relaxer. No improvement after 48 hours. DW may have to go back. Praying for Rita. I can imagine she is just crushed. Glad she has you and Sassy, Dave.…

Mornin' gents. (((Rita))) Ditto on finding the right PT guy, Dave. Any word on the family back in Wisconsin, Bill? Be OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB Happy Anniversary Kris and Dennis! You crazy kids. Sincerest condolences to Rita. So hard even when it not unexpected. Are you going to try and stay where you are, weight wise, Skip? Congrats on the NSV? So Steph, you didn't say whether you liked the cinnamon bun and chili thing or not. You will survive this…

Mornin' BBB Winter cold is already getting old. When do you and Kris leave for Savannah, Dennis? Am sure you will still be able to have a wonderful time indoors. Steph, please tell us about cinnamon rolls and Runza chili. Saw a video clip of Alton Brown tasting it and he was not impressed. Sorry you did not like red hair…

Mornin' gents. 10 degrees forecast for Christmas Eve and Christmas morning here. Bill, say it ain't so! COVID positive? Hope you and Heather are feeling OK and your family in Wisconsin as well. DW's got a flare of a chronic sacroiliac/sciatic injury making it hard for her to stand for any length of time. She has a habit of…

Bill, just saw that there was an earthquake in your neck of the woods that knocked a lot of folks out of power. Hoping you and your DW are OK and have power. (((Sassy)))
