Friday Coffee Hour: Check In and Hangout for the Herd

Tags:

Good morning, Moosekind. TGIF! Hope it has been a good week for everyone.


  PLEASE Do Not Recommend the check-in diary! 

        Recs on the weather jar comment are still welcome.

Friday Coffee Hour and check-in is an open thread and general social hour. Come back when time allows through the day – the conversation continues.

It’s traditional but not obligatory to give us a weather check where you are and let us know what’s new, interesting, challenging or even routine in your life lately. Nothing is particularly obligatory here except:

Always remember the Moose Golden (Purple?) Rule:

Be kind to each other… or else.

What could be simpler than that, right?

    Headed for 56 so we’re told. Of course yesterday we were told high of 52 and it was 61 at 5:45 PM. So who knows, really. Didn’t break Freezing on Monday, highs in the 70’s this weekend so it could do anything.

    Hubs (trs) having hand surgery this morning. We’re due at the hospital at 5:30 AM. Yawn.

    TGIF anyway.

    20 degrees here, expected high of 28 degrees. Freezing Rain Advisory until 9am. I shall give that a stern look and advise it to stay away! Big ass storm predicted for Saturday into Sunday but the track is not set yet. It started at 12 inches and is now at 5-7.

    To those who I won’t “see” tomorrow, have a happy and blessed Solstice. To those who we won’t see until after the New Year, PLEASE stay out of trouble … we need you in 2014.

    Good luck, trs!!! Sending white light to guide the physician’s hand.

    Back later …

    43 headed up to 48 in this part of Mooseland.

    See that Menendez of NJ wants more sanctions against Iran with the White House threatening a veto. Just wrote Schumer, again, though he still hasn’t replied to my last email. I am really thinking that Aaron Burr was the best senator NY has had.

    The good news is that Saturday night the Bach Festival starts. A local college radio station plays nothing but Bach until New Year’s Eve. Just leave the radio on all day and all night.

    Am drowning in work and Christmas stuff. Naturally both have deadlines.  But first coffee. A triple espresso at a great cafe near the Farmers’ Market. Am meeting a friend there so that we can give each other courage and shopping and cooking tips for the week ahead and to celebrate the lengthening of the days.

    Will check in later to see how everyone is. Good wishes for Mr. Iriti’s surgery.

    Emergency call yesterday to go to the National Archives today and copy a Civil War pension file. Supersearcher to the rescue!

    Wait, what? A trip downtown in unseasonably pretty weather? Not raining or snowing? Shhh, don’t tell anybody. I don’t want to jinx it.

    I’m not wearing sandals because I haven’t worn all my Christmas socks & there’s not that much time left to wear them.

    I actually slept through the night! Yay!! And it’s so warm today that I wouldn’t normally have worn a long-sleeve shirt, but this one has Santas on it & I won’t get another chance to wear it this year.

    Really pissed at the decision yesterday by a Methodist church court to take away the credentials of a pastor who performed his son’s wedding. This was the perfect opportunity to say that our church rules (the Book of Discipline) are unbiblical. We have some pretty radical economic stuff in there because that Jesus guy said some pretty radical stuff on economics. Same with that whole “peace” thing — the UM church was on the side of the nuclear freeze movement back when that was way radical. This…. this is just so wrong. I thought about writing a diary, but even with the good night’s sleep & the adreneline of anger, it’s been too long of a week, I’m too tired to find all the citations it would need.

    way to 60 F. today. Still behind on everything, it’s such a bummer.

    Miss Pink Cheeks is on the way to day care this morning, with Grandpa doing the driving. Tonight is day care’s Christmas party, so she was required to wear white tights and white socks. The kids usually put on a pretty good show.

    Can anyone help me with a problem I’m having?  I don’t know WHAT I touched, but suddenly the type on one site I visit has ballooned. It did the same thing on my daughter-in-law’s laptop when I was over at her house, but over there it was worse–it ballooned to 200 times the regular size so that site is unreadable over there.  I hate laptops!  My desktop NEVER does this to me and my iPad only balloons the type when I ask it to.

    If anyone has any suggestions I’d appreciate it.  I hate huge type. I’d almost rather it were 8-point type and I had to look at it through a magnifying glass.

    Today’s errands include a visit to Wegman’s to see if we can buy more Typhoo tea, more chocolate digestives, and another Christmas pudding. I’m terribly afraid we won’t have enough.

    Everyone have a good day!

    temps might drop, might not, before I head for home.  Grandson’s 9th birthday on Sunday, then Monday work and closed until 1/2/14.  In case I don’t manage to get over here on Monday (12/23) I’d better wish everybody Joyous Holy Day/s of your Faith, since everybody’s Faith has one this time of year.  {{{HUGS}}} to you all and a 2014 full of wonder!  The good kind 🙂

    It’s light snow and quite pretty, but I hope it turns to rain fast! Today is the day to collect some flowers and holly and make some woodsy arrangements. The garage will be cold and the steps slippery if the dreaded white stuff lingers.

    My best wishes to all.

    I use Firefox, being Diana the Huntress, don’tcha know.;)

    Pressed control and minus and it worked! Gods, what a relief!

    Feel quite stupid for not knowing this before, but I am so techno-clueless.

    May trips to Hawaii or somewhere warm loom in your futures!
