Crap! It happened again! I am going to be very careful and type to Joanne now.

Joanne, Kramer is 14 and sometimes he acts more like a youngster than he did when he was young. I think that is funny about the goat! I hope you had a good time at your luncheon.

We will arrive in Tampa on Sat., March 1. We are staying at the north end for one night close to hubby's nieces. Our hotel is on Bearrs Ave. (or something). Then we will be at the south end on Dale-Mabry for Sun. and Mon. nights close to hubby's brothers. I thought we'd be spending more time there. With getting together with family, I won't have much time to get together with you Florida ladies, unless we can figure something out. What do you think???

Not sure about that Tammy-we will just be getting home from our cruise on 3/1. It takes almost 3 hours to get to Tampa. I would love it though. I have to depend on Brad because I wouldn't drive there. Big chicken Mima.
If you don't answer the Microsoft question about the error, Windows doesn't shut down! Hmmmm.
Started to get symptoms of a UTI-have 8 days of Cipro from before and then I will start taking the other med I have at night to prevent it.When I take the Cipro-my stomache also calms down. Hope you fell better Joanne-take some Activia yogurt or that other one. I swear it;s that theory about bacteria trapped in the small bowel. but it's only a theory.
We went to mike's and had the most delicious supper-then Evan went to other grandma's house-Alison was going to a play and Jill was going shopping. WE went home and fell asleep=I watched some of the Patriot's game.
They won!!! Undefeated.
Bye for now-Mima

Getting together doesn't sound very promising, does it. Maybe some day!!
Glad you had a nice supper at Mike's. Naps are nice!!

Well, we could meet halfway but the it's far for Joanne.
Weird thing yesterday, we were driving along and Brad was going into other lane ans didn't see a car-happened fast-the other car went into a parking lot and we followed but when he got out of the car, he didn't want to do anything about it even though it was our fault and he had more scrapes than ours. Something was not right-I felt bad for him , a young Mexican but we were fortunate-we just got rid of a surcharge.
A snowstorm back home! 6-10.
We watched the Colts not win yesterday and now we can watch the Chargers not win next week!!! Ha!!!
Getting a list for the bride to send invites-gotta check on what they charge for children.Be good-Mima

That is scary about you and the other driver! Wonder what was up with him?
We have a bit of snow this morning, but not 6-10 thank goodness!!!

I was surprised that the Colts didn't win. Bob was watching it. I do like Tony Dungy. I had bought his book for Tim, but he hasn't had time to read it yet. I think I'll take it along on our trip to read. He can always read it this summer when he isn't so busy with classes.

Maybe my son and his gf could come to that wedding and reception!! LOL

The Y opens at 5:30, but I've never gone out that early. I think I'll wait till about 7 and go. I did get to change my tracker yesterday. I lost a pound I gained and I lost another pound. Still haven't had TOM yet, so maybe when that starts I'll lose another pound.

Funny!! And good. I think maybe that other driver didn't have insurance, a license, ??/
Went to Beall's and used my extra 20% off to get a pretty blouse.
Oh-does my hip hurt-I sure will be happy to get that treatment on Thurs. My neck hurts but that is from cross stitch.
Still going taxes. I will be in good shape when we get all the stuff in the mail.
Evan day. Heat on.
We might go to the SS office and sign up for Medicare tomorrow, Git er done!!!
I am boring. Mima

I was wondering the same thing about that driver. Also thought of illegal immigrant too. What color is your new blouse? I love to save money!!
Taxes. Icky. We'll be doing that when we get back since we don't have everything yet. We had a woman here in town do it last year, and she really saved us some money. I'm sure we'll go there again. You are not boring!!

I went to the Y again this morning. Rode the bike, walked on treadmill, and I did the machines in the cardio room that are for the arms. I only was on the treadmill 10 minutes when my lower back started hurting, so I quit. It usually starts hurting after 10-15 minutes.

Yoo Hoo!! Where is everyone??

Right here...
Tammy- I only live 30 miles from Tampa.. The traffic in this area is really bad. This time of the year it is worse than ever.. The hubby is a pain when I want to go somewhere as he doesn't want me to drive in it and he doesn't like to.If by chance you find time to come to Tarpon Springs ,I would gladly meet you.
Mima- That guy was probably illegal.. There are a lot of them in this area..
Tony Dungy has a home in Tampa.. He will probably stay there.. He may be thinking of retiring. Goodness knows he has enough money..
Hello Everybody...Joanne

Joanne, when the time gets closer, I may know more of what our schedule will be like when we are in Tampa. I did see Tarpon Springs on a map, and I think I would be able to find it. I'm pretty good with directions. Bob could visit his brothers, and I could go visit you! I really don't like going to their house because most of the people who live there smoke. It's a house full. Bob's 2 brothers, 1 SIL, niece, nephew, 2 great-nephews. Bob's younger brother and his wife moved in with the other brother until they found a place of their own. It's been more than a year now. It's their lives, but I sure would want a place of my own.

I know on a news report up here, it said that Dungy's son will attend high school in Tampa next year. It also mentioned that he may be thinking of retiring. I'm sure he has enough money to retire if we can do it and survive!

My friend and I have started reading the Bible in a year. The ones we are using are set up that each day you read from 1)old testament, 2) new testament, 3)psalms, and 4)proverbs. We do our own daily readings, then we get together once a week and discuss any questions or comments that we have. We met today, and it was hilarious that some of our questions/comments were the same. I think she and I have been friends for too long! I think I was 20 when we met, so that's been a couple of years ago!!

I started Bible in a year last year nut stopped. Now I read a chapter each day.
I think you should go visit Joanne in tarpon Springs-it's supposed to be beautiful and so is Joanne.
I had a dream about you, Tammy-actually 2 dreams. In the first one we met halfway to Ft Myers-45 minutes for each of us-the 4 of us-it was good-but then in the second one. you had borrowed our car and it was missing a rear view mirror so Bob got one and installed it and we had to pay you and meet to get our car back. $342. ha!
Art, bank and maybe go to SS to sign up for Medicare and then church.
Busy but good day.
Mima

Hellol

Mima - sounds like you are going to go cruising soon. Where will your cruise go? I don't know much about illegal immigrants, but he wouldn't take cash to get his car fixed? In Canada, we would NEVER use our insurance to fix something under $1000.00 - just pay for it up front. I would feel bad not paying to get it fixed, when it was my fault, but that is just how I am.

Tammy - I hope you can meet with both Mima and Joanne. That would be AWESOME!!!! It isn't that long before you leave on your trip either. January is actually SAILING by. The days are already getting longer. It is no longer dark at 5:00 p.m. when I leave work, and I really like that. Only a couple months until Spring. Our winter, so far, has been fantastic. Hardly any snow, no major storms, and NOT really, really cold. Sure shortens the winter season when it is like this.

Joanne - I hope you can get to meet up with Tammy. Too bad you and Mima couldn't meet half way. Hope you are feeling better.

Money - just doen't mean that much to me. I always have what I need. Don't need more than that. It is and NEVER has been a source of stress for me. I don't need to be rich, and I am comfortable. If I worried about every penny I spent, I would be a basket case! I do like to get a bargain now and again, but if it is something I really want, I buy it. We are going to Edmonton on the weekend, and I just might come home with my Stressless Chair. If they don't have the color I need, it is 4 weeks to 4 month wait, as it either comes from a warehouse in New Jersey, or from Norway. I sure hope they have some neutral colors, and NOT black!

Hope you all have a good day.
