Good luck on picking up the paintings, Hal, hope you got it done before you got slammed. Pat, that sounds like a great way to spend the snowstorm, just curl up with a good book and relax. I feel for both of you. We haven't had a flake down here yet. Kitten's going to pick up her new puppy soon, from a breeder in Memphis. I've seen videos and it's very cute -- a little Corgi that'll be trained to be a traveling dog. Her...

Oh, I would LOVE a transporter.....big trekkie here too.... Pat

Sometimes it's scary to see how a little bit of weather can put a stop to most traffic on a continent that's supposedly been civilized for at least two millenia now... I want a transporter. Yes, I admit to being a Trekkie through and through. In the meantime, I hope your family arrives safely even without transporters.

Lytra, is anyone not a Trekkie?? I think Pat hoarded most of the snow. I only got between three and four inches up here. No problem picking up my paintings. I'm sure you'll love your Gorgi.

Thanks all for the support yet again. My mom is stable and has some broken bones and a punctured lung, will be in ICU for a couple of days (she's in a drug induced coma, but should come out okay). I've decided that I'll wait to make a trip to Houston. My sibs are coping okay now, but when my mom is ready to come home, and after the Christmas break when my sibs go back to work, someone will need to be with mom to help out. A...

What kind texture i mean how it looks ? and sometimes i...

The dughters are having a horrendous day's journeys. First of all they had to dig themselves out of our house in England. Our nearest neighbour ( "Joe the tractor") clears the extremely narrow and steep road we live on but it is still difficult to manoevre. Fairly quickly they can access the local motorway but the traffic was AWFUL with plenty of lunatics driving far too fast for the conditions. Anyway, after about 3...

Then fix the synopsis and write a cover letter. That last is maybe an hour. Hi. This is the book I'm submitting, its length. Maybe a one-line description and a one-sentence bio about me. Keep that short and simple with my address, email and phone on it so they...

Pat, I thought the thing most men like best about ice fishing is that women never want to do it, so they get to go and drink beer and be as rowdacious as they please.

Pat - just looked at the weather map and it looks like you are getting hammered! Hal - looks like maybe you might be getting more than you expected. Holly
