No that tree (the one I was standing next to) was in my yard, the tree that fell the other day was in my neighbors yard, to the left of us, which can be seen in the second photo way, in the back. If you look close in the first pic, you will see the tree I was standing next to, the tree is in the backyard behind our sn*w covered car. This pic was taken back in 2003 after a 20" plus sn*wfall. That old oak tree is huge, if that ever fell, our house, or the house (to the right) on the other side of us is a goner. I had all the old branches removed from this tree before this pic was taken.

Here is a pic of our cute little abode taken from across the street after the sn*wstorm in February 2003. Luckily the storm was over President's Weekend that year, took me about 8 hours of shoveling to dig out the car and the front of the house.

I know it's hard to make out, but that's Angelina under the left window at the front of our house. She was out playing on the mound of sn*w as I was digging us out. I forgot to mention, this same weekend, during the storm, our furnance broke down. Luckily, we have Gold Service with our heating company, so they had to send a repairman out to fix the furnance, as he was at our house, a state of emergency was called and he had to get off the road after he finished fixing our furnance.

I've been trying to read back on the thread before I joined it, so I had to ask about your tree Adam would LOVE to have a snowfall like that here. Most we have ever gotten was about 20" and then lot of ice--closed our city down for a week. Most people got to draw unemployment that week.

Morning hope it all gets better. otherwise you will have to ask the Mod for a sick/doctors note.

OK, now that I am up to date here for the time being, it's time to tackle the checkbook and those nasty bills, I fell asleep before I could get to them last night........................

Sounds like you needed those 8 hours of sleep

Andy,

Sorry to hear of the loss of a family friend.

Will Verandah Gran get her own DIS account?

Thanks for the reminder about setting the clocks ahead.

Verandah Gran does read the boards only when I send something her way. My mom's computer broke down several months ago, so she hasn't been online in a long time, she would call me from time to time and I would go into her account while she was on the phone and select what e-mails to keep, and which to delete. This morning she had over 170 e-mails she had to go through ....................most of which were deleted.................

Like Hazel, I don't think my mom would post on the boards, but I have been known to have been wrong in the past.

We'll see what happens after her new "used" computer is hooked up, but now that my mom is working again, her computer time is limited with the crazy hours she works.

 

[PBader]

What did you do, start over??

A little bit

Mornin' Mark....did you ever find out what was wrong.....I felt bad you were so angry in Chat...I could almost hear you pounding your keyboard

 

[PBader]

I tried like the dickens to get on last night, but I kept getting "kicked off". Really p***ed me off.

Has anybody ever heard of a game called "Chronolgy"? Everybody picks 2 cards to establish a timeline, then you takes turns picking up a card that has an event question on it (.e. the year that panty hose was invented)the person has to guess where in their time line this took place, if they get it right, they get the card, if not,the next person gets a try. It's easy at the beginning but as you accumulate more cards, your timelines get a bit smaller.
When you start out you'll get a timeline of say,2300 BC to 1968, but as you add more cards, the you might have 1777,1779 and 1782 you say the event happened between 1779 and 1782 but the card is actually 1778, it passes to the next guy. The object to get 10 cards.

I have never heard of that game. I am thinking I am going to have to study trivia and now history before this cruise!

Even my neck hurts.....and I'm not kidding.......

I only spent three hours in chat but my neck is sore as well.

It was fun though. I figured out how to save the whole chat in Word but decided not to do it this week. Maybe next week.

The good thing is it can be deleted. Some of the chat goes by so fast it would neat to be able read it a slower pace!

A new dis service.

I find that I can get way behind in chat very quickly

This afternoon we have to take Angelina to the mall, she needs some "new" summer shorts for our trip the end of the month.

I freaked Hazel out as well this morning............I started setting "some" of our clocks ahead already, she didn't know what time it was when she got up and came out into the livingroom................

I bought Adam 2 pairs last night at Costco.

Are you that looking forward to losing that hour of sleep tonight. that you are already setting those clocks

Back in January 1996 (before my digitial camera days) we had a record sn*wfall of 30.7" it started on a Friday night and ended sometime Sunday morning. I spent about 10 hours digging out after that storm. I took that Monday off, but was back at work "trying" to read meters on Tuesday, what a mess that was, I had the hardest time trying to find a place to park my work car when I got to each neighborhood. I hope I don't have anymore storms like that before I can retire!!!

I agree brack, I find I get all googly-eyed in chat

When you go into a chat room look at the top and click on "Options". A dialogue box will open. At the bottom is "Save message history on server". Click on "View" and a "Message History" box will open. In that box will be all the chat since you signed into that room. Click on "Select" to highlight the chat then hit ctrl C to copy. Then just Paste into Word.

Easy as
