Here I go again … first post of the New Year … and leader of the thread … :D … Happy New Year! :nana:

Actually, it's only 10:12 local time on New Years Eve … so I guess I'll have to stop back in a couple hours to claim the "first post honor." Oh well, I shall return! :D

As did Gen. MacArthur


Welcome to the New Year!


Salaam Alaykum to Everyone!

To you as well, jseal. Hopefully you had a really great New Year and that the rest of the year will be even better. :thumbs:

Guessin' I'll be the winner til' maybe jseal gets here.

He never made it, so I guess the crown comes back to me. :)

Good morning world!


Salaam Alaykum to Everyone!

Looks like we're going to have a pretty nice winter day as I move back into the winner's circle. :)

Welcome to the (almost) weekend!


Salaam Alaykum to Everyone!

Well, it's almost Saturday, here. About 17 minutes to go.

Here I am. Sorry, been busy. Just wanted to say, "Hi!"

Hey, Goofy. Missed you while you were away. Good to see you back!

Back to the Salt Mines!

Salaam Alaykum to Everyone!

Hope it's a good day for you, jseal. Good day and one that goes quickly! :thumbs:

I take them one day at a time


Salaam Alaykum to Everyone!

I wish every winter day could be like yesterday … especially after the rain ended in the morning … sunny, warm, shirt sleeves weather. Loved it.

Have a great day today, Pixies!

Getting briskish here.


Salaam Alaykum to Everyone!

Yep. Snowing here, albeit light snow. I know, you need that freezing weather to reduce the "bug population" but when it gets cold and snowy, I get in the mood for spring.

Welcome to the weekend!


Salaam Alaykum to Everyone!

Any other snow stories? Ours is still continuing (although very light snow now). :(

If it wasn't for the Winner's Circle a person could get to feeling mildly depressed, but, the Winner's Circle helps. :D

I agree. :)


We're enjoying the snow here - around three inches.


Salaam Alaykum to Everyone!

Another regular workday is about to start. Darn. Oh well, it puts food on the table and clothes on our backs … at least we can be glad for that. Right?

Very true!

Back to the Salt Mines!

Salaam Alaykum to Everyone!

Peace be with you, jseal, and your family.

Have a good day at work!

And to you and yours, sir.


Salaam Alaykum to Everyone!

Wow, it seems like only yesterday.


IT WAS ONLY YESTERDAY! :D

It's Hump Day!

Salaam Alaykum to Everyone!

Two minutes ago it became Thirstday. :cheers:

Enjoy! :D

Welcome to the new week. :)


Salaam Alaykum to Everyone!

To you as well, jseal! And, in 25 minutes it'll be Happy Moanday and Happy Martin Luther King Day too. Hope you've got the day off … you and all Pixies! :thumbs:

Toothsday already. Wife heads back to work again I guess. :(

I'm ready for spring.

^^ You too? ^^

Salaam Alaykum to Everyone!

Yep. Me too. Today's weather drops from 35F now down to 12F by midnight tonight. Yuck. :(

But, I still hope everyone has a nice day … even if it means pretending some. :)

Nice to be in the winner's circle again. Have a great day, Pixies!

You too!

Salaam Alaykum to Everyone!

Welcome to the weekend!


Salaam Alaykum to Everyone!

Thank you! Have a great Sunday!

I did. And Monday wasn't too bad. :)

:thumbs: Hope the rest of the week goes as well. Too cold here to be a "really" good week, although it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Today and tomorrow, weather-wise, are likely to be worse. :(

Hope for you and Pixies everywhere, today will be a bunch better! :wink:

It's at freezing point her just now, but some of the mid-western states .... WOW!


Salaam Alaykum to Everyone!

-7F right now (12:45am) with a wind chill of -26. That's a bit cool. By 7am it's expected to be -20F. That's a bit more than cool … it's downright, dagnabbit COLD! In fact, our record low for this date (1/30th) is -8 set back in 2004. Brrrrr. School's been cancelled for today so I think we're going to try and sit this one out here at home.
