How to Close a Thread -
The only people who can close a thread are the site moderators and the person who started the thread in the first place. If that's you - scroll to the bottom of the page below where you can do the "quick entry post". At the bottom you'll see a section titled "Thread Tools and Posting Rules" on the left side. Across from that on the right side you'll see a section called MODERATION TOOLS. And it will say CLOSE THREAD. Click Go and it will close and lock the thread from any new posts. If you need to reopen the thread, you will have to contact a moderator. As Laura said - not so important to close the threads - the mods watch over that stuff. Some of us would close the thread in the beginning so that new people would not keep posting on the old threads. But we're all old hats at this now
Shad - I do feel bad that you lost a compadre in Pattience - someone who speaks your language for a change
I got my Tasmanian Leatherwood honey yesterday. It is good and thick - not like our runny American stuff. I still don't have the developed palate to discern the different subtleties based on what the bees were eating. I'm like that with wine too - can't tell these "hints of peach or applewood or whatever they are talking about" it all tastes like wine to me
I looked up Arrowtown too - VERY pretty area. I love the "tunnels" of trees with the colors. I can just hear the crunching of the leaves looking at those pictures. I think I love autumn the most of all the seasons.
Ceejay - sorry to hear you are inundated at work. What's going on that you are so busy now?
Annie - good luck with your interview tomorrow
Yes, it is VERY ANNOYING that salary is discussed when there is no effort for honest consideration. Companies want to find someone to work for the lowest possible amount (I know you might disagree Michelle but in today's world I think that is true). I would tell people when I was interviewing (on both sides of the table) that as the hiring manager I had a budget that I had to work with so their was a salary range and as an interviewee I needed to make an affordable wage so I would hope there was an acceptable amount for both of us.
I will send good wishes and all other sorts of happy dust your way tomorrow
And that is very sweet of C to comfort you - that's what partners are all about - working together to make things happen, isn't it? He's a good guy but you already know that. Thank goodness R is a good baby - sure helps as things stabilize with Sissy and Lil Man. I am envious of your 65 degrees - I am dreaming of that day here
We have the potential to get wolluped Thursday into Friday - 8 inches in a narrow band. I hope it avoids us
Today is sunny and it's 40 already - looks like a nice day ahead. Bears will be waking up soon if this keeps up.
Laura - glad you liked the movie - I will put it on the watch list. We have only been to Toyota dealers to get our cars worked on and I guess we are lucky that so far, they have all been ok waiting rooms - not real fancy but clean. Some even had water, juice and snacks or Wi-Fi. The important thing to us was to get things done quickly and efficiently and we were happy with that. Remains to be seen how the new Toyota place will work out. We were happy with the service in Duluth but bought the new car from a different dealership. They actually have the nicest waiting room of all - a big, open area overlooking Lake Superior - should be quite pretty when the lake is not frozen over
Your blood pressure number is really good. I think it's a good incentive to stay clean for the next 3 weeks until your physical. Just keep that in mind when you are tempted to do otherwise
Sorry you had to put so much out on the car but welcome to spring in Chicago - time to get the car realigned from dodging potholes! Actually after this rough winter up here, our typically pretty good roads are looking in need of repair too. Winter's been hard on everyone.
Terra - if you walk 3 times a day you will probably guarantee a loss by the time you see your doctor. Keep it up!
Hi Susie and Michelle
Today I have the yoga class I really like this afternoon. I really REALLY have to focus on doing it at least twice a week on my own. I have good intentions and then I don't know where the day goes. Tomorrow will be quite a busy day starting early with physical therapy so I will have to give myself a ZQuill or Benadryl coma to get to sleep early as I will have to get up around 6am. I've been going to bed around 2ish and then the cats start a commotion in the bedroom which keeps me up until after 3am. Meadow is looking to spend more time with us - particulary DH and the little one Nina does not like sharing at all. Meadow is starting to stand her ground as if to say - I have a right to be here too - but occasionally Nina runs her off and then I go chasing her.
Anyway as spring moves in and we will have days to spend outside, I need to get to bed earlier to wake earlier anyway.
Happy Humpday everyone.
