This thing stretches all the way across the country.

Yikes! Are you ok? I new they were calling for rain here in VA this weekend...hopefully no hail like that! My DH has a motorcycle "gang"laughing: ) that he rides with and they are doing this motorcycle campground off the Blue Ridge Parkway all weekend. He has this hammock "tent". Hail and the hammock won't make a good pair!

Good morning, everyone!

Good morning!!!!

kc5 - I hope those storms passed w/o any incident to you!

VA Camper - Is your little one okay??

Yeah! Amanda, do you need anything? PM me if you do! I'd be glad to bring you anything! I hope your sweetie is ok!!!!!

Okay - when it rains, it pours around here (not weather). DH has been job hunting since November. I have half-heartedly put in bids for full-time & part-time jobs.

In March, I started part-time @ Home Depot.

Today, I have an interview with Geico.

Yesterday I received notification to test for a position with the USPS on May 1st.(It's a custodial job & I might just go for it - $17/hr to start)

Me - (who really doesn't want to work full-time) has 2 PT jobs & 2 interviews for good paying FT jobs.

Great!!!!

DH who wants a good paying FT job = 0 interviews.

What IS up with that????? What does society have against mid-aged men, I want to know?

What's wrong with this story??

Ok, this is a total sum up post, but REMEMBER EVERYONE!!!!!!! to pray for Dan's son Justin today who is having surgery!!!!!

Thanks for reminding me Ami.

We're all okay here. The storms had passed us by with no incident in our area before I went to bed last night. Spring in this part of the country is always interesting weatherwise.

Thanks everyone for asking about my DD. The good news is its not poison oak. So no itching. The bad news she had a severe reaction to something so we have to figure out what. She was playing in the woods at our house yesterday thats why we thought poison oak. They put her on prednisone and benadryl and its already helping.

Dan, I will be saying lots of prayers for your son and your family today. Keep us posted.

Yeah, the weather has been interesting. Buffalo traditionally does not get a good spring. We often have snow in late April. This year and last though, the weather has been great -- even the winter this year was very mild. Most of this week it's been in the 60s-70s and will be in the low 80s Saturday. The temperature is not supposed to drop into the 50s until next weekend. Not only that, it's been very sunny here too. That's truly amazing. If this is global warming, bring it on!

There is a great Allergy Doc in Roanoke, Dr. Luis Matos. He's great with kids, too! My oldest DD has a severe bee allergy and he has been wonderful with her through the whole thing! I hope you get to the bottom of this soon!

That's the one thing I DONT miss....spring time in north Texas! Yikes!

 

[kc5grw]

Yes. TGIF. I get to take off early today to meet with a paint contractor to get a quote for painting my house. Then I get to drive a bus load of middle school kids from our church to an event tonight.

I fell a little behind on this thread....man you guys can chat !!

Good vibes to those that need them

I hope no one was hit by the storms.

Here in Michigan it has been gorgeous. Hit 71 here yesterday and supposed to be about 74 today !! Chad mowed the lawn and cleaned out the garage yesterday. We have trees budding and flowers popping up. Spring is FINALLY here...it was a LONG winter !!

we're waiting on her to clear up to look for bite marks. The dr also thought she might have been bitten. Last night it was to hard to tell.

We've had a pretty mild winter here on Long Island also. It's been warm here as well this week. Everyone seems to be getting an early start on Spring/summer. Kids want to wear shorts...and the patio and deck furniture is coming back out. I say the same thing..If this is global warming...I'm ALL for it!
