The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

Hey you, I was born in Iowa too! So were my parents. I still have a few relatives scattered around the state.



Where would you like to go IM?



Hi Pert Thursday isn't bad...it's the next best thing to Friday!

Hi Debby. Yea, Thursday, Friday, Monday, guess it doesn't matter when you're retired. I know my Gks are ready for Friday. And I can remember when, to me, Friday evening getting off work being so excited for the weekend.

jumping out of the frying pan into the fire aren't you? iceland is even more snow and ice in the winter, or so i've heard but beautiful in the summer

From 110+ summers to -110 winters?

Iceland looks like a pretty place but I don't think I could ever learn the language...it's got all those little tick marks and dashes all over the letters

Ain't that truth My great grandmother was from Norway, I never had an ear for it. Couldn't learn a bit of it.

those taxes are what i have nightmares about

OK Sharron, time to let those nightmares go! You were done with that stuff 8 years ago. Plenty of newer things to have nightmares about

like a stupid idiot i never paid myself

Same with my sister. She and her husband had a printing business. Their accountant told them to pay just one or the other because SS tax is capped. Yeah well now Sister has no SS and the husband is a ex.

Hello, Chat Folk - is there anything that I need to know ?

No, but there is something you need to let US know! Like how much fun the Princess had at the casino, that she won a ton of money and that you had a reasonable time as well

The new teachers kid is in our room and he bawls all day.

IMHO the kid would be better off in another room. Being in the same room with Mama and not getting her undivided attention isn't going well.

son stopped heating the house because he took over the bills.... I have no idea how cold it is but its all relative. I am shivering in my warm robe.

Isn't it funny how "turn off the lights", cut out the half hour showers, turn the temp down" falls on deaf ears until it is THEM paying the bills.

what kind of oven do you have? can you turn the oven on for heat?

Inefficient way to heat a house, the central heater is a better method. Or if Deb is parked in just one room a small space heater aimed at her.

Hi Pert and Happy Thursday, make it a great day.

Thanks rj. Once I'm awake everyday is at least decent.

@bruceha2000 The Princess did not win a ton of money, but she actually came out a little bit ahead after 2 days of gambling. I had more than a reasonable time people watching. Some/many folks need to eat far less.

Afternoon everyone!

Been slacking....just can't deal with all the gnats on several threads.

Welcome back Sour, sounds like you had a great time!

Debby stay warm and safe, don't be slipping and falling....you don't need to be in the same place I was for a year!

Good day Pert, glad to see your still "kicking around" on here!

Everyone have a great afternoon!

Hi Sean. Hope you're doing good. I've narrowed down on the amount of threads I respond to also. Feel like you're walking on eggshells.

Yeah, sorta, kinda! between work and trying to keep up with threads, I'm getting overwhelmed.

Those look good Sharron! What kind are they?

@perchie.girl just look back at your 'old' normal of a few months ago. You're doing great - one day at a time.

Exactly! Deb's making a lot of progress
