Squaredsc | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 10:49 am     lol marm. i hope ms bat makes it home safely and hopefully her driveway and/or street is cleared. |
Grooch | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 12:25 pm     Well, I received a call from Ms. Bat. She made it 20 minutes on the road before she found a hotel on the beach and parked it. lol! She is really in denial about going back to the cold weather. |
Car54 | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 12:28 pm     Oh good! If she hurries she will be here for the ice that is coming on the weekend! Actually we are having a heat wave here today..I think it is about 35 degrees. |
Grooch | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 12:31 pm     Car, driving 20 minutes per day, she will make it home in time for next year's ice storm if she's lucky. |
Squaredsc | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 01:04 pm     omg she only made it for 20 mins? did she even make it out of florida? lol. thats a heck of a vacation. |
Grooch | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 01:22 pm     Square, she only made it from my house to the beach and quit. She has about a 6 or 8 hour trip just to get out of Florida. Oh, I forgot to add, she gave me a second haircut. My hair was still to long. Now it is above my shoulders. I felt bald when I went and washed it this moring. lol! Now it is curling up really nice. Everyone at work thought I dyed my hair because she cut off the parts the sun had turned blonde. I guess I'm more of a redhead now. |
Squaredsc | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 01:41 pm     kool grooch. poor ms. bat. maybe she and her dh will decide to stay and have car send her their stuff and their pets. shoot after all of this snow i wish i could have joined her. and it would take a cattle prod to get me to come back. i have convinced my mother that she needs to retire to florida but she wants to be on the ocean side. so far i check home prices in northern miami and can't afford them, but she says that we can combine our incomes and maybe afford something nice. so now all i need is to find a job. ahh dreams. |
Grooch | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 01:46 pm     Square, there are plenty of jobs down here. And you can always get a townhouse. There are plenty of different neighborhoods and I am sure you can find something in your price range. Come and move down and keep me company!!! Btw, Bat already made reservations for the month of Febuary in Key West for next year. lol! She is trying to talk her husband into moving down here also. |
Squaredsc | Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 01:58 pm     lol, good for ms bat planning ahead. girl, if i could move today i would. still have to convince dh. and if worse comes to worse i can always request a hardship transfer to a local ssa office. hmm. need to give this serious thought. |
Egbok | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 10:44 pm     Hey Groochie, if Bats moves down your way, you'll be a forever redhead!! LOL And Marm! I love the "butt pic" in the other thread....and I thought you'd be wearing another pair of colorful pants!!  |
Ginger1218 | Friday, February 21, 2003 - 12:56 pm     Grooch, in the next year or two, I plan on moving to Florida. Hopefully somewhere near Fort Lauderdale or that area. I can't wait. |
Grooch | Friday, February 21, 2003 - 12:57 pm     Whoo! Hoo! That will be great, Ginger! I wonder if Ms. Bat has made it out of Florida yet? I miss her phone calls.  |
Squaredsc | Friday, February 21, 2003 - 01:17 pm     grooch im wondering also if she made it out of florida yet. next time she needs a laptop or a pda so she can keep us posted. |
Grooch | Friday, February 21, 2003 - 01:19 pm     Square, how is the weather where you are? What's supposed to be like tomorrow? If it's not good, then she may very well still be in a holding pattern in Florida. |
Car54 | Friday, February 21, 2003 - 02:15 pm     Grooch, if she checks in, the weather is FANTABULOUS here. It is like 50 degrees, the snow is melting. I went out earlier today and did not need a coat. Of course tomorrow we are getting cold rain all day! |
Twiggyish | Friday, February 21, 2003 - 02:35 pm     <picturing a bat flying circles above Florida> Ginger that's great. You'll love the weather. I live on the west coast.. if anyone wants a slow, retiring pace..here's the spot! Our house prices are pretty reasonable, too. They roll up the sidewalks here 'round 6 every night. Yup, a real happening place..LOL |
Squaredsc | Friday, February 21, 2003 - 04:09 pm     grooch, its raining right now. we are supposed to have heavy rains and some massive flooding from the melting snow. i think the interstate was a little better and could possibly have more than 1 lane open. twiggy, lol. |
Egbok | Saturday, February 22, 2003 - 09:42 am     Twigs? Was that a Freudian slip..."west coast"? LOL |
