Driving a truck with chains is not hard. You just be patient and go slow. Putting chains on a truck is hard. It was a beautiful sunrise, and the lowest temp I had was 18F. That sounded bad enough till AJ's brother called to say it was -40 there in MT. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Suddenly 18 seemed rather warm and friendly. So now I am still waiting for them to finish unloading me so I can go home. And the Dervish, now awake from his late nap, is waiting to play Click N Read, so for a change I'm going to be nice and actually share the computer with him. Who has a lovely chocolate bar for me?

Maybe Neak should just call all of us.
Maybe I should be grateful I am going to have to walk 4 - 6 miles in 55 degree weather Saturday morning. I could be in the Walmart parking lot when it is 18 degrees.

Who has a lovely chocolate bar for me?
I got too many for Christmas - it was on my list, and an easy one to come up with, so lots contributed.
Take your pick - everyone can take a turn, but Neak first.
Lindor Truffles - Swiss Dark Chocolate with a smooth filling.
Lindt Swiss Classic - Miks Chocolate with whole hazelnuts.
Hershey - Pure Dark with almonds, cranberries, and blueberries.
Most of a box of "Sees"
Lindt - Swiss Bittersweet Fine Dark Chocolate.
Lindt - Waffers with Milk Chocolate.
I have two or three of nearly all of them. Help yourselves.
We're going to the mountains to play in that same snow Neak was so glad to get out of alive.
I love long weekends.
Cinders, relax this weekend. Those same problems will be there next week, excited to bother you all over again. Let them fend for themselves this weekend, and you think about happy things.
T&L,
People care. Even if they don't write much, they care.
AW,
I have faith in Aussie. I hope he's as good as I think he is. You would know. What do you think?
Believer,
Don't think you are forgotten. Thanks for the example, people do notice.
CC,
We know you're out there. I keep hoping you'll give another report.
Neaksis - God is aware of your dreams. He'll help, because that's what he does. He's good at it too. Really good at it.
See you all next week.
SS
I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

SS, with all that chocolate, you sound like the makings of a giant zit!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Did your dentist hire all these people to give you gifts? Does he appreciate you putting his kids through college? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> I got an email from CC. She's keeping tabs on us , but not saying much at the moment; however, it sounds like she's hanging in there and keeping on keeping on. Sometimes that's just the best you can do, I think. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> I was going to chat a bit more before logging off for the weekend, but Neaksis' adoptees biodad just showed up for his visit with the kids, so I guess I'll be going now and tend to my immediate knitting, so to speak. He'll be here till Saturday noc. The kids have been looking forward to seeing him, and I'm hoping we have another lovely time together with everybody. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> t&l

I used to be able to find Ghiardelli dark chocolate squares with a chocolate orange filling. I loved those things but can't find them any more. Bummer.
Missed the team training session this morning. Made a wrong turn and got lost. So, on my own, I walked almost 5 miles. It was expected to rain hard all day but it is not raining yet. That made it so much easier.

hi rella I think some ref was made to another poster or two that had been very difficult and made assumptions etc. I think the rules say we shouldn't do that. However doesn't matter what we think the mods are always right <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> hows the tl clan today? everyone getting over their colds and flu? ...eat lots of chocolate its good for you. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Personally, I am still on antibiotics for my ears. Resulting from the yuck with my sinuses. But I'm going to survive all that. And my neck is still feeling better after my epidural injection. I slept several hours this afternoon. Naps help when you don't feel up to snuff.

Choccy cures EVERYTHING!!! I'm too scared to venture into the middle of any frays, no matter who is right or wrong. I have this overwhelming need right now for light, fluffy, and happy. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> (And chocolate.) The latest news on our naughty brood: last night, Mr. Computer lit a sparkler, which was bad, then the Dervish and Neaksis' oldest (at 13 he ought to know better!!!!!!!!!) threw it out the bedroom window, jumped out after it, and PEED on it to put it out. Which has led to the most interesting discussion of why oh why oh why boys pee on everything. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

I can't believe I put all that chocolate out there, and no one took any.
What should I do with it now?

I want it!!!!!!
I had to come out of hiding to get the chocoalte and rescue the thread!
BTW, t&l, Thanks for updating everyone about me. Did u answer me by e mail? Not that you have to but I get so much junk e mail that I may delete the important e mails without even realizing it. I hate misunderstandings.... and I know I've missed some e mails this way.
Now I go back to hiding. There's nothing to update at the moment.Life is just life.

You may do much the same thing from day to day, but you are important to us. Your thoughts and feelings are important, and I know you have those every day.
Take all the chocolate you want, until it's gone.
Thanks for saying "HI" to us. It's always good to hear from you.
We hope you, and your daughters are all doing well. I was hoping you would have your dream job by now, and have all the problems of life resolved. (Mostly so you could tell me how to do it.) I guess I'll just have to keep working on it myself. (grin)
Come back often.

Hi SS,
I get this thread thru e mail so I know about all you guys do. Every now and then I'll check the rest of the forum. I would love to know how Caren is, and Gramn and lemonman, they ahve been gone for a long time.
I now liten to Dr. Harley every day, for 3 hours. Hard work! But it's worth it.
It's summertime here. The girls left on the 1st of the year. They went to the beach with friends and haven't been back since. We talk on the phone and they seem to be having fun. I guess they'll come back next week because in february they have to study for exams.
I am enjoying being alone although the dog is around and he's not that easy to manage... he has to be fed and he's spoilt about being with people and I obviously leave him alone for long hours...
At work things will change but it's not supposed to be for the better for me. It may not make much of a difference either, but things will happen in the next month or so.
Otherwise there is nothing much to tell.

Save some for me, since it's calorie free. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Isn't it, SS?
CC, good to hear that you are doing ok. You will get happy again no problem, but a good character is something not easily come by. You are blessed to have one, and I hope someday your WH chooses to have one again, too, even if the 2 of you don't reconcile. In the end, our character is all we have left.
I'll have another chocolate covered cherry, please.

Thanks CC, Prayers will continue. Take all the chocolate you want. No calories at all - since it's over the internet. Fiber optics lines take all the calories out. I can't believe it! I didn't even leave any in my desk drawer!!! Neak, maybe they do it to mark their territory. Mistakes, and all. I can't remember if I did that, and I don't know if I would admit it if I had done it. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> SS
