I just wanted to say that I hope every one here has a Merry Christmas. I will be offline for tomorrow and most of Christmas day also. My wish for all of you is to have a great holiday season with your family. Don't eat too much and above all don't drink too much. Enjoy the holiday.

The temperature here in NJ across from Philly is below freezing. That means the snow will stay and not melt as it hits the ground. It's supposed to begin at about 6AM tomorrow morning and continue on until Sunday morning. The forecast is for 6 to 10 inches with a possibility that some areas may get up to 18.

Lastnight (early morning) we were at -2F. The furnace came on periodically during the night. Then when we got up and had breakfast....no heat??? Why isn't that darn furnace coming on??

We kept on getting colder n colder....so called the local heating company.
$158+ later we now have heat.
It wasn't the furnace per say....it was the router... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Cheryldachs) http://violetvoice.yuku.com/topic/781 Thu, 10 Dec 2009 16:28:47 GMT <![CDATA[ Chat tomorrow night? 12/09/09 ]]> http://violetvoice.yuku.com/topic/777/t/Chat-tomorrow-night-12-09-09.html Will any of you be on CHAT tomorrow night?

I went to the library today to talk to our librarian about that african violet.
Dead end. The lady that give her that plant (and others) moved away. But, I did learn this.....

She was a master gardener. When she moved, she gave our librarian several named/labeled hoyas, and several Thanksgiving and Christmas cactii....all labeled with what color they would be when they bloomed.

It is most interesting that we are all over the map, literally. But sometimes I cannot remember where you are and what your name is. This is especially true when the "handle" isn't your name.

Mitzy is a Bichon/ShihZu cross and she is only 7 weeks old. I am crazy about her. I had been looking for and older dog, one that could join me on my walks when I go, but it is so hard to find one that people want to part with. So, a puppy is what I got, and not without all the challenges involved...mainly training. feeds@yuku.com (Gardenlady) http://violetvoice.yuku.com/topic/738 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:37:19 GMT <![CDATA[ Manic Monday..... ]]> http://violetvoice.yuku.com/topic/737/t/Manic-Monday-.html feeds@yuku.com (Verleen) http://violetvoice.yuku.com/topic/737 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:13:28 GMT
