Happy Saturday, friends!

  1. Good morning All.. I am always happy on Saturday. Nice to get up and not go to work. But you know, you still wake up early anyway out of habit. Drats! I wanted to sleep in.

    Gloria, I wrote you a note under the cat pic about medical insurance.

  2. Good morning, all! Polliwog, I know what you mean about waking up early even when you don't have to. The last job I had, my alarm went off at 4:45 am each morning. After I stopped working, it took me a solid year to stop awaking early. Nowadays, I'm excited if I sleep until 7:30. When my husband gets up to go to work, he feeds the cats and cleans the litter, but they want me up, too.

  3. Hello friends!

    It's a beautiful morning! Well, actually kind of gray over here in eastern WA, but it's Saturday, and that brightens up my attitude! :)

    Today I thought I'd post on the current blog, and maybe my comments will make more sense! (That's what happens when I show up late to the party!)

    Did anyone watch the Glenn Beck, GBTV episode on Thursday? Of course I made the mistake of watching it last night before I went to bed, and ended up dreaming about our future world. Glenn may be a doomsayer, but I think he is a courageous, smart man, and I appreciate him warning us to be prepared for any kind of disaster.

    All this talk about insurance makes me think about the future too, as I will only be working 5 more years. (God willing!) Next weekend my BIL (insurance agent) is coming over from Seattle to discuss signing us up for long term care insurance. I really don't want to depend on my kids if I can't take care of myself! OTOH, I know it is expensive so might have to really ponder that one for a while, since hubby just recently returned to work.

    I'm also under Queen Christine's rule, and I think this is her last term. Is that correct? That gives me great hope. :)

    Have a great day everyone! :)

  4. Nice to see you, Paget! I've been debating whether or not to get GBTV--we're on a pretty tight budget here. And I can do so little about a disaster. I can barely walk... I've only been out of this apt. 3 times this year. But I think Glenn speaks the truth.

    Hey--I put up a pond, and a King Cat, and other things on my sidebar--and with new titles (didn't know I could change 'em!) Tell me how you like them (Paget thought the pond looked too ominous with 2-3 gators in it, so I took some back to the Everglades...!)

  5. Ick! I can't stand to watch those programs with guys hauling 'gators out. Then they actually eat the meat - double ick! Not that I have ever come close to one.

    spiders
    snakes
    rats
    gators

  6. Phooey, PhooBad! Why don't you like our pond?!

    I'll have you know it rates very high on the pond market!

  7. Froggy,

    I was just teasing you about your ominous pond. :)

    However, the new pond is more inviting! Maybe the frogs could escape from just one gator.;)

    When Betty Jean shared the picture on TheConnection, of the gator lurking right beyond her backyard, it really gave me the creeps!

    I agree with Gloria's list, and I would add one more category - any big ugly bug - YUCK!!

  8. Huh? you asked this:

    Hi PhooPearl--what's that tag on your hat say? ;-)

    "Pearl always dressed in styleless "down home" dresses and wore a hat with a price tag hanging from it, displaying the price of $1.98."

    I love the pond. Sorry, I was off 3 cents.

  9. Oh, very funny Phoo--now we're up to $2.01! hrumph!

    Oh yes, I remember Minnie's price ceiling! I loved her--is she gone?

    Paget, I could never be mad at you--and my skin's not that thin with my frends. You were right--you CAN have too many gators--we MUST give those frogs a fighting chance! They have great hopability!
