It looks like I started the chat too early.

Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Jul 11, 2008, 8:48am EDT
Hi Dan and everyone. I wanted to sleep longer but the bod said no.
Dan H. Jul 11, 2008, 8:49am EDT
Morning Linda, congrats on being done.
Dan H. Jul 11, 2008, 8:49am EDT
I hear you, I couldn't sleep either.

Good luck at the doctor's Dan.

Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Jul 11, 2008, 8:54am EDT
Have a donut anyone? I needed something unhealthy this morning.

Dozen of donuts
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Jul 11, 2008, 8:54am EDT
Hi Lisa. What's up?
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 8:56am EDT
just finished watching "Open Season" with my daughter, nothin much, hoping the storms will let me gather some today
Dan H. Jul 11, 2008, 8:59am EDT
Actually, I haven't had coffee yet today.
Dan H. Jul 11, 2008, 8:59am EDT
Good morning Lisa, how're you today?
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Jul 11, 2008, 9:00am EDT
The storms went around me yesterday, just light rain, but not far from me they had baseball size hail. Some people took pictures and sent them to the TV station.
Kimber F. Jul 11, 2008, 9:03am EDT
Haven't had my coffee yet today but up and rolling anyway. Good morning all.
Dan H. Jul 11, 2008, 9:05am EDT
I guess that the storms made it here last night. I was awoken by lightning.
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Jul 11, 2008, 9:06am EDT
Hi Fran and Kimber. Hope you have a great day.
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Jul 11, 2008, 9:08am EDT
How did your last test go yesterday Dan?
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:10am EDT
Good Morning Dan, its a tough day for me but I'm making it :) Yes how'd it go yesterday?
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:11am EDT
Good morning Kimber!
Kimber F. Jul 11, 2008, 9:11am EDT
Hope you have a great day too Sadie.
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:11am EDT
Good Morning Sadie!
Kimber F. Jul 11, 2008, 9:11am EDT
Good morning Lisa.
Dan H. Jul 11, 2008, 9:12am EDT
Oh, I'm not worried about it. I'm just sad that the profs took little interest in getting the test written.
Dan H. Jul 11, 2008, 9:12am EDT
Yes Lisa, you're pretty strong.
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:12am EDT
we've had 7 so far, lost power once, got struck once, can't wait to see what today brings!
Kimber F. Jul 11, 2008, 9:13am EDT
So what's everyone's exciting plans for the day. I'm off today so plan on doing massive house cleaning.
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:13am EDT
so does that put you to your third year Dan?
Dan H. Jul 11, 2008, 9:14am EDT
I've heard about how warm it is back in CA and how I'll have power outages to deal with.
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:14am EDT
massive gathering to keep my mind busy
Dan H. Jul 11, 2008, 9:14am EDT
Well, 3rd year will officially begin for me once I'm up in Michigan in a few weeks.
R o g e r .. Jul 11, 2008, 9:14am EDT
Haven't joined here in awhile, thought I'd see what's up...

Photobucket
Dan H. Jul 11, 2008, 9:15am EDT
Kimber, can you do some of my housework as well?

Well Lisa, I hear you, I similarly have a lot to get done today especially with the end of My Picture Challenge:
(PICTURE CHALLENGE!!) **I WILL COMMENT ON A PAGE OF YOUR PICTURES IF YOU DO THIS** (READ THIS!!).
Dan H. Jul 11, 2008, 9:16am EDT
Morning Roger, yes, I do need to wake up a bit more.
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:16am EDT
Good Morning Roger, you're looking colorful this morning
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:16am EDT
so till then you do what Dan?
Kimber F. Jul 11, 2008, 9:17am EDT
Dan, if you could see my apartment, you would realize that this is a major task. lol, but if I finish before midnight, I'll pop over and clean up your place as well.
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Jul 11, 2008, 9:17am EDT
How long will you be in Michigan Dan?

Hi Roger
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:17am EDT
Home School begins August 1st for us, and then I go back to sitting with my friend a week or two after that - I imagine it will get a little crazy trying to keep my gathering up at that time
☀ Aunt Shanny Jul 11, 2008, 9:18am EDT
Michigan? Are you going to U of M?
Kimber F. Jul 11, 2008, 9:19am EDT
Maybe I need some coffee before starting. Not moving really fast this morning.
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Jul 11, 2008, 9:19am EDT
I am trying to keep from cleaning house. Lets see. I am going walking and out for lunch today. Tomorrow the gym and then maybe to Waterloo to my son's and to the motorcycle races.
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:19am EDT
Michigan sounds cold, no interesante
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Jul 11, 2008, 9:24am EDT
Lisa where do you live?
Kimber F. Jul 11, 2008, 9:25am EDT
That sounds fun Sadie, I wish I could avoid the cleaning today. But then maybe Gathering is just my way of avoiding starting. LOL
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:25am EDT
Alabama
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:25am EDT
set a timer Kimber, you can clean each room in 5 minutes and be done with it
Kimber F. Jul 11, 2008, 9:28am EDT
That's a good idea Lisa, breaking it down into smaller pieces does seem to make it easier.
Meredith B. Jul 11, 2008, 9:28am EDT

HEIDI F. Jul 11, 2008, 9:28am EDT
i'm up earlier than normal so i'm a little groggy right now. but good morning everyone.
Rebecca [Future Teacher] Jul 11, 2008, 9:29am EDT
Good morning Dan
Dan H. Jul 11, 2008, 9:30am EDT
Sorry everyone, I saw my guitar and it was calling to me.
Kimber F. Jul 11, 2008, 9:30am EDT
Good Morning Heidi, I know the feeling.
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:30am EDT
yeah I just gave the kitchen a quick 3, another 3 should do it, it works for me
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Jul 11, 2008, 9:30am EDT
Where did Dan go? I think he is out getting some coffee.
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:31am EDT
I have to get to the laundry mat today, its been storming all week
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:31am EDT
brb gotta cook dinner for hubby
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Jul 11, 2008, 9:33am EDT
And what did your guitar say to you Dan? Do you sing too?
Kimber F. Jul 11, 2008, 9:33am EDT
Both hubby and four year old have been sick for about a week now so taking care of them has taken up most of my week, so house is a complete wreck.
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:35am EDT
oh I hate when my kid is sick, I totally spoil her rotten
Anne W. Jul 11, 2008, 9:36am EDT
Good morning! I have a bunch of work to catch up on :(
.* Sandi * Jul 11, 2008, 9:38am EDT
good morning everyone.
hope everyone has a good day
we are just running some errands and exciting things like that
Rfuaw D. Jul 11, 2008, 9:43am EDT
good morning, I hope everyone is in good spirits this morning.
I feel blessed to be full of energy this morning. Have a great day!
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Jul 11, 2008, 9:43am EDT
When I was working I looked forward to Friday and the week-end. Now Friday is just another day for me. I will get a bunch of things done around here today and then I can go away tomorrow with a clear conscience.
Kimber F. Jul 11, 2008, 9:43am EDT
I know what you mean Lisa, I have spent the last three days with him on my lap. What amazes me is how much like a child my husband gets when he is sick.
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:46am EDT
my husband's on his own when he's sick, I could kill over and he wouldn't realize it until after fishing season
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:46am EDT
which for him is year round so I'd be out of luck
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:47am EDT
Thanks Sandie!
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:49am EDT
guitar calling again?
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Jul 11, 2008, 9:51am EDT
I don't hear him playing for us do you Lisa?
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:52am EDT
same here Sadie but my husband is not as bad as my dad used to be...
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Jul 11, 2008, 9:52am EDT
I never had any relief when I was married and had 5 sick kids, or when I was sick. He didn't see why I couldn't still do all the things I did when I was well and he never lifted a finger to help.
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:53am EDT
I do not....we came to this chat, don't we deserve a reward ;P
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:53am EDT
Ahhh well Sadie, how's your life?
Christopher B. Jul 11, 2008, 9:53am EDT
Good morning. I hear it's Friday! Another week over and I've actually have "work" accomplished this week. Hopefully my coworkers should be bringing in the bagels any moment now. Life is good.
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:54am EDT
Morning Christopher
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Jul 11, 2008, 9:55am EDT
Mine either Lisa. I divorced him after 27 years and he remarried. Now he has to take care of her because her health is bad. Am I lucky of what?
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Jul 11, 2008, 9:57am EDT
Actually my life is good. I like being independent and all I have to worry about is me....well almost, your kids problems never go away even when they are grown ups.
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:58am EDT
hmm my dad used to crawl around on all fours groaning and then climb upon the couch and remain there the next few days, later he had to care for my mother round the clock and then his new woman until she committed suicide....so he was busy but in truth someone should have been caring for him, though i tried
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 9:59am EDT
i just have the one, she plans on being with me for a long time, my husband is counting down the days till she's 18, actually he's been counting down since she turned 1, sigh
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 10:02am EDT
hmmm 9 am and still no sun, looking like another stormy day here in bama
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Jul 11, 2008, 10:04am EDT
One thing about taking care of yourself and kids is that when you get older you know how to do it. I learned how to do a lot of things that many women can't do and it has helped me a lot in the 24 years I have been divorced. Now if I just knew how to do plumbing. I have a leaky pipe problem under my kitchen sink and and mulling whether to have it fixed or go ahead and do my new countertop and new sink now instead of after I finish sanding down my cupboards and restaining them.
Jan S. Jul 11, 2008, 10:08am EDT
Good morning, all. It's a chilly morning here in northern Michigan. Last nights rain cooled things off a lot.

Dan, are you going to U of M? It's expensive, but it's the best and Ann Arbor is a great place to live.
Debra C. Jul 11, 2008, 10:09am EDT
Just popping in to say we're looking at 98 degrees today. AaUugh!
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 10:11am EDT
google it Sadie, you can figure out how to do just about anything
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 10:11am EDT
I knew Michigan sounded cold
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Jul 11, 2008, 10:11am EDT
I have to get busy. I think Dan ran out on us. Everyone have a great day.
JoAnne D. Jul 11, 2008, 10:12am EDT
Good Morning, I turned on my computer around 8:30 and I am just getting to Gather. I might have to get up at 5 to get here by 8. What a morning.
Just had to stop by to say hello.
strongthrufight E. Jul 11, 2008, 10:12am EDT
I'm kind bummed, someone rated my butterfly image low
