Hi everyone&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Another good day today...no snow, yet.  We should get 1&quot; to 3&quot; for the rush hour this morning.  Twenty-eight degrees right now.  It should get a little colder the rest of the week.  Still trying to catch up on errands  and grocery shopping and returning a few gifts.  I&#39;m getting anxious to start my Spring cleaning.  Cleaned really well before Christmas, of course, but my closets and cupboards, etc. need some help.  lol   I like to Spring clean in the winter.  After a long MN winter I am dying to get outside and smell the warmer fresh air.  LOL<br /><br />Mary Lou...glad your headache is better.  I&#39;m praying you get good results from your test.<br /><br />Jackie...that&#39;s so great to have your treatment all over with.  It didn&#39;t sound like a very fun day, for sure.<br /><br />Joey...sorry about your new washer.  Thirteen in a cat is getting up there but some live to be 19 or 20 even.  Any older than that is kind of rare, I think.  I have another cat that is 15 years old.  So he is really getting to be a &quot;senior citizen. lol<br /><br />Carmen (M)  That 63 degrees sounds soooo wonderful.  I&#39;m tired of winter already, and it has just started.  lol<br /><br />Sue...I think that&#39;s the line that has the &quot;Regal Empress.&quot;  It&#39;s a nice &quot;classic ship.&quot;  I haven&#39;t been on her, but it sounds like a nice ship from others&#39; reports.<br /><br />Rose...take care of that nasty cold.  Hope you are well, soon.<br /><br />Tonia...I know what you mean about the &quot;graveyard&quot; shift.  I used to waitress many years ago and did the &quot;graveyard&quot; shift for a couple of years.  Having to rotate shifts all the time, the &quot;graveyard&quot; was my favorite...except for having to go in to work on the weekends when I wanted to go party.  LOL  I was very, very, young then.  lol<br /><br />Steve...I&#39;m so sorry to hear about the melanoma.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.  Hope all goes well at the hospital tomorrow.  Marc had melanoma a couple of years ago, and they also found it early.  He is doing great.<br /><br />Ed...it must be so fun to be getting ready for the group cruise.  It will be so fun having so many friends along.  I was going on a group cruise this last September but had to cancel.  We are planning another one in 2009.  Hope you have good luck with your DISH network.<br /><br />Keith and Rita...Welcome back&#33;  So glad you had a great cruise on the &quot;Connie.&quot;  It&#39;s a shame you had to bring back colds, and sinus problems and flu.  It happens so often now. It&#39;s hard to avoid, I guess.  Get well, soon&#33;<br /><br /><br />Jen...love your Avatar&#33;  Your &quot;flapper&quot; costume sounds like it will be really great, and really authentic.  That&#39;s so neat that your dogie loves the snow.  Marc let our oldest cat out in the snow once, and he didn&#39;t have a clue what to do.  Poor guy...he was really scared.  He brought him in right away.  Both our cats are indoor cats.  We let them out in the back yard on a  leash once in awhile in the summer, but they don&#39;t want to stay out too long.  they&#39;re just too used to being indoors.<br /><br />Stay warm, and stay well, everyone&#33;<br /><br />Have a great day&#33;<br />
