lol, mouse. That's the way I feel about some foods I like. Even if they're not good for me I got to have them now and then. Pralines and cream ice cream is the main one I won't give up.
I'm on my way home from work. There's snow on the ground but the roads are about clear now.

I had a flat tire on my way to work. Mr. Beez came to my rescue. I was late to work, but oh well.
I'm getting it changed and then I will be visiting a Unitarian Universalist Church.

I hope you enjoy the UUs, Beez. No way of knowing until you go ... more than once, because the worth of a church depends, almost entirely, on the people. I think the UU is terrific but that's probably because I used to attend a good one. Some are Christian UU and some are eclectic UU. Both are very tolerant and accept a certain amount of diversity, easily. Another good org. you and hubby might like is the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). If you iknow about it ... you do and if you don't, here are some links to help. Also, be sure and search Google Images and type it in to see what goes on there. You guys are just the right age and there are lots of good people involved. www.sca.org/geography/findsca.htmlen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_for_Creative_Anachronismwww.tudorshoppe.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Some of the best times of my life were spent at these events. It's possible to be a fighter, a craftsman, a mercasntile shop keeper or just part of the populus. Some of the garb is gorgeous, some home spun and home made ... all great fun. The events are often on college campuses or on the grounds of public buildings. I'll never forget a coronation event we attended one year on the Miami of Ohio campus. The sun had just gone down and the stained glaSS windows of a classic-design stone church on a hillock were lit from within by candle light. The, over 300, people in attendance were walking in pairs and threes up the hill in garb, holding lighted candles. Very solumn ceremony ... too cool. I realize I've wandered a bit from the UU church but, often, the same people frequent both places.

we got almost an inch, but none on the dirt or gravel. everywhere there is grass, there is snow. it looks kind of weird Relative temperature, I imagine. The soil loses heat faster than stone and concrete? Always amazed to see cast iron inspection covers free of snow when there's feet of it all around and it's minus whatever, simply because of the heat given off by what lies festering below... that's pretty much it, theoretically at least. grass takes less time to cool, so the snow sticks, as opposed to melting on the still warmer surfaces i still have not figured out though, why bridges and overpasses freeze up more often than the rest of the road

mouse, get yourself a long metal stick and put a marshmellow on it and put above fire........burned are my favorites but just lightly toast yours and you will be happy as a bug in a rug realistically, wood is much better. we've used coat hangars, but metal gets hot and radiates much faster than wood

Just out of interest, mouse..... Are you parental unit 1 or 2? parental unit of one...divorced many many years ago and he died about 4yrs ago so.... so apart from being parent 1 am also only parent 1 so now am wondering what the parental unit status is of our posters: I am a parental unit of one due to death in 10/2000
