Daily Whine & Shine - March 7, 2008

by Marilyn Mackenzie

 

Howdy folks.  Do you have something about which you'd like to rant, vent, whine, stomp your feet, throw a tantrum or shout, "Oh shuckie darn!"????  This is the place.

It's also the perfect place for sharing your praise reports.  Are you shouting, "Yippeeeee Skippy!" this morning?  Then we want to hear!

 

 

Food for thought:

Many persons have a wrong idee of what constitutes true happiness.  It is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.   ~  Helen Keller

It's snowing again! Grrr.
lynn a. Mar 7, 2008, 9:14am EST
We are anxiously awaiting a snow here in Memphis today. A real one that will accumulate and be gone in 24 hours. This may sound like an "oh, no" to a lot of you, but to we who live our lives virtually snowless, this is a major event.
Tina W. Mar 7, 2008, 9:20am EST
Marilyn I hate the snow and I really hate standing in it out at the bus stop. I told Tyler he was going too turn into an ice cube he enjoyed i that other than the snow nothing really too complain about. Except Jingles acting physo
Ruth MacGill Mar 7, 2008, 9:26am EST
Th weather here is nice but continuing negative events in my personal life put any remarks of mine in the whine catagory. I feel almost out of options to make things better. Maybe I'll cash in my life insurance. I'm too old already!
Marilyn M. Mar 7, 2008, 9:34am EST
Ruth, you're in my prayers. Is there anything else we Gatherers can do for you? Like invade your writings so you get lots and lots of points?
Kellie S. Mar 7, 2008, 9:39am EST
We have rain! Yay! Steady, semi-intense, wet wet rain. And according to forecasts we will have it all day. After last summer's drought in GA rain is nice to have; although I stopped at Lowe's yesterday and got some "yard projects" I had hoped to start today. That's fine... I'd rather have the rain today. Makes everything bloom faster!

And it's warm rain... it's pretty warm out there now. It'll get cold tonight but it's supposed to warm up again so I have absolutely NOTHING to whine about. :)
Kellie S. Mar 7, 2008, 9:39am EST
Ruth, I am sorry to hear that. How can we help?
dark faery Mar 7, 2008, 9:44am EST
whine: it's still so @#)% cold!
dark faery Mar 7, 2008, 9:44am EST
shine: it's payday!
Marilyn M. Mar 7, 2008, 10:05am EST
I just heard that we're going to get at least 8 inches of the white stuff. If so, that will be our biggest snow - in March for pity's sake!
Danielle P. Mar 7, 2008, 10:15am EST
We are suppose to get 4-6 inches again today onto tomorrow...Im so SICK of snow....I want warm.
Ang, inspired by good, G. Mar 7, 2008, 10:54am EST
Its snowing here, but not sticking. :( I love the snow I wish it would stick so my daughter and I could go out and play in it.
Angela A. Mar 7, 2008, 10:57am EST
I am sorry everyoner seems to be having a bad day today and Marilyn sorry anout the snow again but Please just for today sence I have to be out in the weather elements Please pray we do not get any of the bad stuff. You seem to be getting andf you all stay safe. Marilyn I know you were asking about invading oters writings on here but I was also thinking if you could send some of that invasion my way I wouls love it. I have a few things on here I would love to get more thoughts on. Some of what i have been posting has not got as many hits on it as I was thinking it might. I may even be posting more soon. I just have to get it to slow down some here so I can post.
Marilyn M. Mar 7, 2008, 10:57am EST
Snow is nice in December. In March, it stinks.
Marilyn M. Mar 7, 2008, 10:58am EST
Sure, Angela. Everybody, head on over to Angela's world and comment. Okay???
Angela A. Mar 7, 2008, 11:45am EST
Thanks Marilyn for the plug.
Marilyn M. Mar 7, 2008, 11:50am EST
Glad you got to the store, Maria. I was supposed to go and buy more paint for my son for Tiff's room. Not gonna happen any time soon. The snow started before I got out of bed and it's been going ever since.
Marilyn M. Mar 7, 2008, 12:50pm EST
I just posted a few pictures of the snow so far today. The record snow for March in Cincinnati is 9 1/4 inches. They figure we'll meet or exceed that record. Great.
Karen R. Mar 7, 2008, 1:12pm EST
It snowed last night here in downtown Dallas. We are enjoying it since we live in Phoenix and we don't get snow there. There was just enough to stick to the grass and look pretty.
Marilyn M. Mar 7, 2008, 1:41pm EST
I heard that the Dallas area has had more snow this year than some parts of New York. Strange.
Marilyn M. Mar 7, 2008, 1:41pm EST
Hubby's work is letting out at 2 pm today because of snow. Still it will probably take him 2 hours to get home (for a 40 minute drive).
Marilyn M. Mar 7, 2008, 1:42pm EST
Last time it snowed like this, it took him almost 3 hours.
Vana R. Mar 7, 2008, 3:04pm EST
We still have over three feet of snow in the yard...I don't think we'll see grass until July...yuck!
David C. Mar 7, 2008, 3:40pm EST
A soaking rain is expected tonight into tomorrow. With the grounds already saturated, driving will be a lot of fun over the next 24 or so hours.
Lydia (part of the solution) Shelley Mar 7, 2008, 4:44pm EST
I'm having a pretty good day... even if I can't seem to get motivated on any housework sorta stuff. I know it'll be there waiting for me when I DO get "in the mood" (that is, tired of waiting for the kids to do their chores - they're grounded for NOT doing them at this point.)

Sorry to hear some of you aren't doing too well... will keep you in prayer as always.
<3
Marilyn M. Mar 7, 2008, 5:23pm EST
Our snow has stopped for a while. But we're supposed to have blizzard conditions again tonight and tomorrow. Wanna sing? I'm dreaming of a white Easter...
Lydia (part of the solution) Shelley Mar 7, 2008, 5:47pm EST
LOL I miss snow. The kids here don't get off at Easter... their "Spring Break" is a week after Easter. So much for travelling with the family etc.

What could they be thinking???
Marilyn M. Mar 7, 2008, 6:22pm EST
And still people insist that Christians rule everything.
Lydia (part of the solution) Shelley Mar 7, 2008, 7:25pm EST
Who says that these days?
Marilyn M. Mar 7, 2008, 9:02pm EST
Oh, I've been hearing that from a few folks around here. :-)
Jerri H. Mar 7, 2008, 9:15pm EST
It was kinda un-nervy today with all the tornado stuff going on
