Dog wanted out this morning. Opened the door, and she just stared from four feet away. It was a big nope! Tried to send her out, she did a complete 180 maneuver at the threshold and ran back to her bed.

I don't know how much is out there, but it's a lot.

Anyway, another snow day for the kids. Lucky little buggers, we never had them when I was little!

A snowy good morning to you all!
My girl does that for rain and snow! 😅🤣😅
 
Good morning everyone. I hope you all had a restful night.

I’m not going to go on the rant I wanted to, although I feel comfortable venting my frustrations here. I’ll just say I can’t wait for today to be over. I have a long weekend and I need the time away from the office.

Hope you all have a great day.
Awwww! We're all friends here, BSK! Rant away! 🫂🫂
 
So I don’t spend much time in the bar this time of the year as too busy with the dogs n stuff. Occasionally I have to vent.

Would you believe that someone in the village has put Christmas lights outside their house. For gods sake it’s a rural area we don’t need such nonsense it’s so down market. It makes it look like some God Damn housing estate!

Then some idiot today asked if my Christmas tree was up…….yes it is….up in the bloody roof-space where it belongs until Christmas week.

Other that than it was a good day on the hill with the boys!

G!!! What a Scrooge you are! 🤭🤭

I'll have you know that in the before times, my house was lit up like a damn runway by Thanksgiving! Planes coming in to the airport received instructions, "Turn X° at @Lilianna23's house." 🤣🎄🤣🎄🤣

Christmas decorations inside were complete by the end of Thanksgiving weekend. 🎄🎅🎄🧑‍🎄🎄
 
Long day at work.

Then dinner… and AGAIN fell asleep early. I am not liking this pattern at all. Fell asleep on couch around 8. Then up again at 10. Trying to stay up till the end of this football game.

Been waking up again at early hours of the morning (1230 last nite and 330 the nite before). Have to get back into a healthy sleep routine.

Looking forward to a long weekend. Seeing an old army buddy tomorrow nite, then Pittsburgh for a long weekend, visiting friends. Then back home on Monday afternoon.

Hopefully get my sleep back on track.
You're likely falling asleep early because your body needs the sleep. I'm so sorry you're waking up in the night.🫂🫂 I've been doing the same thing. So frustrating! 😤😤
 
Thanks! I’ll pick it up! 😂

I actually have a fair amount of cedar that I’ve milled into fence posts.

It’s red cedar and not good for firewood. I will use it outside a bit in a bonfire but that’s abt it.
I have no idea what kind of cedar this is. My neighbor doesn't want the wood, says they've stopped burning.

I'll probably just have it placed under my deck until I can find someone who wants it.
 
Is this a good place for another older guy to say hello?
It is! We're a bit (or a lot!) different than other threads on Lit. Please check out the original post which outlines our rules, namely:
1. No politics
2. No drama
3. No religion
4. Don't hit on others in the thread. Take it to the DMs.

Also, going back 10-20 pages and skimming will give you a flavor.

We're a friendly bunch and welcome others enthusiastically, much like a neighborhood bar. We are very protective of our vibe and each other. We hope you like it (and us) here but if not, there are numerous other threads on Lit!
 
I learned yesterday that my adult stepchildren who I have seen around Christmas the past 12 years, will not be coming to Michigan this year. And I can’t blame them as the last 3 years have been visiting with aging and dying family members. I am just sad I will not see them. I will just have to plan some visits!
I'm sad that you won't see them this Christmas but glad you can plan some visits later. 🤗😘💝
 
Ya me too. They have recently done something that's irritating. They have removed the micro SD slot so they can charge more for phones
I was SO irritated about that! Less so about the removal of the headphones jack. Means you will buy a phone with more memory. Now, I wait until there's a sale that includes a memory upgrade. My current phone has 512 GB. Way more than I need. 🙄
 
That’s my reaction too. He’s charging way too much, Altho some of it regional.

We had a quiet for taking down a giant silver maple (I mean huge) that was a little more than that.

I’d get a few more quotes, @Lilianna23
I am. Thanks!

It is in a bit of a tricky spot between the houses.
 
It depends how close the houses are. I had a friend drop a tree and the wind took it the wrong way and I did too. I have seen trees lifted up with a crane because of being close to a house or you can climb them...................and on and on.
This guy said he would climb it.
