Help Lyn!!
I can’t post?!?!?
I can only lurk.
I don’t receive emails that you all have posted something so I don’t know when to come on?? (I pretty much follow all of you wonderful people). But I take a chance that you are chatting and lurk.when I go to post a response my iPhone tells me “oops an error occurred “ . I have logged out and back on and nothing seems to help.
If this message posts, please everyone reading this know.. I miss the hell outta all of you and wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year 🎈🎊🎆!!
I was alone for Christmas but plan to be alone , drunk and watching channel 7 on New Year’s Eve waiting impatiently for Duran Duran to play in the rain.
My drink of choice you ask????
A new one.
I was given a “Coquito” for Christmas by a gentleman from work…
And let me tell you guys…..
BOOOYYYY!!!!!!…
. That knocked me on my……boo tay!! 😵‍💫🫠

If you haven’t experienced it please look it up, make it… and thank me later.

Love you Lyn!!
Cathy too!!
Ray!
Maggie!
Ooooo… I can’t think of all you gorgeous boogers names right now but know this…
If you are reading this right now?
I MISS YOOUUUUIU!!!!!!!!
😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🥳
Try getting the app. There is one now. I like only the emails better because I can tap out easily. Whereas I can't with the app and even when I go through my emails it takes me straight to the app. But the app doesn't take up much memory on my phone so I uninstall it and then reinstall it because it won't stop bugging me to be installed. Every thread that you tap watch when you first start watching can come through your email that you list in your account. Also the people you follow. I'm not sure exactly why this works for me but it does.💕 happy New Year to you also and I've missed you bunches.

Happy New Year everyone 🥳 I've done absolutely nothing except my daily chores and my animals. Oh yeah I did one other thing. I hung a Happy New Year banner 🤣 I didn't even go to the grocery store. I put that off until tomorrow 😉 we will be having a simple dinner tonight and the extras on New Year's Day. I'm sure we'll watch the ball drop in time's square because Joe won't let me sleep through it 🤣

We're almost 2 hours into the New Year, the local fireworks seem to have finished and I've taken my nephew home. So I've enjoyed a glass of wine but I'm ready to hit the hay now so enjoy your celebrations when they arrive and I'll see you tomorrow (or later today!)
Nos Da and Blwyddyn Newydd Dda!

NO, today is NOT my birthday...............I lied. Truth sets us free, right?


Hi guys,
Hope all had a great Christmas and New Years!
Kerry & I had an adventure! Christmas eve we spent with my kids, my ex and her husband all at my sons house...and had really nice time. Christmas morn we drove up to NY & spent the day with her fam. Then, after dinner...I asked Kerry; "hon, found a shed place in NC, wanna do a road trip"? The advantage of buying in NC is getting a better building for the same money as the local guys want. We got 3/4" floor, 2x6 PT floor joists, metal roof etc.

We drove to her home from NY Mon, repacked and left at 330AM to drive 320 miles to NC, right below Danville VA. We had a confirmed appointment...and they no showed and went dark. Kerry and I both laughed when the place was empty and the full warehouses of building supplies shown in Google street view, were derelict. Wow. We just went shopping, stopping at a few places then got things done. Along the way we met some great folks! Funny how I never heard back from the appointment place- Homestead shed...great web presence and they were emailing me back and forth on Christmas day...thought they were solid, guess I was wrong. We spent the night in Danville then came home Wed. Thurs I spent working and cleared 16' wide next to her house and 15' high of clear space.....Superman is a beast when he works....but thank GOD I have another day and a half to recuperate! LOL

IMG_8808.jpg

Our ladder is the 16.5' size, it's fully expanded and if you look close you will see that the right side rung is floating in the air. Kerry was gravely concerned and began with the "wives standard---blah, blah, blah blah blah but I just told her "look, the other side is good, I'll just lean and went up before she could say "no"! LOL

This was the last and largest branch....thankfully. I was actually pretty safe all day and de-limbed before cutting...taking my time. Love, love LOVE my cheapo SunJoe(amazon) elect chainsaw. It cut everything and saved me from firing up the 20" real chainsaw. That would have sucked using it on a shaky ladder....and yes, those "extenda-ladders" are VERY sketchy and move a lot, but strong like bull & 300lb rating so I don't worry bout my 185....you just have to be fearless to use them. We must have cleared 100 branches, I cut, Kerry hauled....then we mowed it!

The big holly is past the house and I will only cut what I have to so I'll wait till the shed shows before I cut any more. This used to be a 5' wide path....used to! LOL

So I'm back at my house now, Kerry has school tomorrow in her district so I will spend my last day of vac here.

I tried to keep up with you guys but I wasn't going to type on a phone.

Loved the turtles Christmas tree Ms Cathie.....

Sorry about hearing of Warren's inlaw passing...really stings extra over the holiday, sorry.

Mark has realized that he has a regular Game Preserve going on in his yard! Those cams are cool, I used one to see if I was moving when I tried to sleep. 3-4 years ago over 2 weeks, I averaged 192 pics a night, even though many nights were under 4 hr of sleep. Apparently, Superman flies in his sleep? Flipping fast though the pics looks like a "jeffrey on a rotisserie". Sleep Apnea was the diagnosis but I don't do things touching my face too well so I haven't been able to use the machine.

Hope that everyone, has a fantastic New Year!

Happy Newyear to everyone, just wanted to share this picture. I have seen this fox last week and gave it some dog food, it looks like a pup. I believe it has been forced out of it group, it has an wound on it's tail and hip. Today was the first time it came up to me that close, I gave it a large can of dog food and it ate it all.

Poor guy isn't looking so good.
Will you try and help it survive or will you let mother nature take its course?

Looks like you got tons of work done.
I had trouble getting used to the sleep apnea mask also. I finally got used to the mask that only fits over my nose.

😱 You aren't going to even drink Adam's Ale? with your amazing cuisine 💕🥳 not even mock tails 😉🤗
I didn't try any alcoholic drinks. It was the little devil on my shoulder egging me on.👹
I haven't had a drink in almost 20 years.
So if I am going to break my sobriety. It won't be 1 or 2 drinks. It is definitely the best thing I ever did for myself and family.

Poor thing, with some good food in it, it may stand a good chance though.

Good morning/afternoon all,
It's a very bright and dry day but the temps have dropped again - still only to be expected and welcomed in the middle of winter - I worry if it's too warm!
It's a bank holiday here but many shops are open. It used to be time for New Year sales but sales seem to be all year around now as remaining high street shops try to survive.
I don't need anything so I won't be on a spending spree.
Have a good day everyone!
