Hi Tauranga, hope you are well and happy!

Hi TG, hope you are also well and happy. Sounds like you had yet another busy day and spent it thinking of others and doing for others.

My day was real laid back. A transformer blew to this area this morning so the day was without electricity. Pupster and I had a great day outside, but all day I kept thinking about a thread I said I'd be back to. Was afraid to run the computer on a generator so was just tossing over whether to take a chance on it when the electricity came back on.

Really glad to not have to turn on the generator. Don't know that much about them and it's not the kind where it just takes over on it's own. You have to do things to make sure you don't fry an electric worker when the power comes back, and take heavy energy sucking things off, and rotate things so everything isn't running at once. Anyway, I like the quiet. 8)

Was concerned about the camper dude because there's no way his electric heater would work so I disconnected him and put a little propane heater that uses 2 bottles out there. Maybe it'll motivate him to seek other shelter. 8)

There was a rush hour here. Had a couple neighbors come to get water from my hand pump and another borrowed some wood. They were getting pretty chilly so I told them they could come back tonight but bring their own bedding. That would have sucked for everyone, but in a way it would feel better to have people I know, than to be in the dark, knowing a camper dude that I've never seen is living in the pitch dark within walking distance of my house.

So, it was a great day!

glad the power came back on. um, camper dude? i know i am missing a tale here.

you are very kind to share with others and to invite them in. many people would not do so. what a sweetie you are!!!

give pupster a big hug from auntie TG and here's a hug for you, my friend.

oh, dad and i were talking about baby pigs today. he thinks i'm a fruit loop thinking they smell good. i laughed at him. baby pigs smell divine. seriously.

i'm glad the day is almost over, i'm really tired and am trying not to drink coffee to stay awake long enough to go to bed. does that make sense? anyway, i only have to stay up until 8pm to get mom something to snack on before she takes the last of her med. she didn't take any painkillers today for her arm, i'm so glad it's getting better. she used the computer today while i had dad at chemo, so i know she's almost over the pain.

You are so sweet, TG. It is now almost an hr. after the time you planned to go to bed. Very glad you're having a nice snack. Now rest. We will have a good nite...as soon as we know you're tucked into bed nice and cozy.

Well Happy Valentines Day everyone! I have nearly missed it. I hope you all had a nice one.

Nines I hope you didnt freeze your butt off with now power.

It warmed up here compared to the last few days, hope it did some up there too.

Hope you had a nice time and nice meal in the big city TB. Did Buddy come back yet? Darn dog. LOL.

No, haven't heard from Mama since you guys have. Maybe she's not as codependent as we are. Just kidding.

hiya guys, i just had a look on my buddy list, and she has been on GLP today, so all s well with her

Oh, good...thanks, T. I didn't think to look.

Nine's, nope he's still gone. He didn't touch his food, so I'll have to throw it out tomorrow. It's supposed to blow dust tomorrow, so if he's going to show up that'll be when. In the kennel with him this time, the ingrate!

I havent heard from her lately either.
Nines I got an email today that had pictures of different shots of puppies, made me think of you.

My favorite was a siberian husky pup sleeping on the bottom shelf of a frig with the door open. All the other food was on the other shelves and he was just curled up looking as comfy as could be.

guys, I need some info. I finally broke down and bought some col. silver. Does it have a taste? Do I need to get my "YICKS" ready or what? I can't smell, so I don't know if it'll gross me out or not. I know that sounds weird, but I'm serious. I have a thing about yucky tastes.

Thanks, Nine's. I got some already in ionized water. I'm getting tired of mixing stuff already. I can't beat this sinus infection, probably 'cause of the weather. It was almost 70 today after the 20's on Sunday. I'm going to take some before I go to bed.

Thanks, my friend! It always does. I'm just glad I'm already taking all kinds of things for everything else. I told Dave I didn't want to think how bad it would have been if I wasn't. I've had pnenomia before, but it's been years and years...AND I don't want it ever again. Now that's some kind of miserable!!
