shecolt

Brent - we're both pretty corn-y actually.

Corn-y, a-maze-ing, radish-cal in a round-about way!

@Suna I read that as "pass" and not "get" at first. I was a little thrown. lol

Yes shecolt, you are exactly right that fellow is not too smart. I do envy you California people & your warm temperatures 100GFB.

That's a thing people do now. I can appreciate not wanting to wear shoes but I'd be too cold

It's a spacious room 100GFB & you can have my ticket, reservation, & share the plush surrounding with shecolt if you want. That's how SW1 rolls. Ha! Ha!

OK shecolt SW1 cancelled his reservation so its yours! lol! miserable day, lite showere and high 60's. Possible thundershowers later.

After living in Fort Wayne for over 20 years, I never thought of it as being that cold. With the exception of this year, of course.

I really don't know.

Ricardo Montalbán sings "Baby It's Cold Outside" from 1949's romantic comedy called "Neptune's Daughter." See below:

I can't complain.

A much needed win...1st 'signature' victory. Some commentary in the Indiana Basketball Thread.

I like your Hoosiers basketball team a great deal shecolt! Besides, Indianapolis people are so nice. BrentMc11, Jay Kirk, CM51, Gramz, & all INDY natives that I have come in contact with on this site. I feel like an honorary brother blessed by such good, wholesome, funny, & down to earth people. Thanks for allowing a fellow WI Badger into your inner circle.

Hey SW1 I'll drink to that!

Awh, that's so sweet of SW1. Can't post an emoticon here, so I'm sending you some {{{HUGS}}}!!!

oops, *of* you

Thanks shecolt. I just really like to see friends of mine get rewarded for all their hard work. Plus, you are a very kind person & I'm happy to see that selfless generosity get noticed. True, I do not know you personally, but the way you conduct yourself on here I can tell that you are a very understanding & laid back person. I appreciate the hug too.

Some good old fashioned ingenuity was definitely used there. 1 Question or an observation: That inventor had both a paved, level, & short drive way. What if a person lived at the end of a long, steep, gravel based driveway surrounded by tall trees & thick brush that might interfere with that remote controller successful operational capacity? A remote rural setting as opposed to a urban suburban community etc. etc.

I am not criticizing your friends incredible device shecolt. I am just merely pointing out that the device in question is not ideal or tailor made for every driveway or house location dwelling in a 1 size fits all winter blowing capacity that's all. Still a cool gizmo though.

That's really cool!!!

I thought I liked the idea of Thursday football for the whole year but now I am not so sure. Not to mention it didn't seem like but 2 of the games were even worth watching.

How I wish they'd stopped it one week earlier.

I've always found it uncomfortable - even on Tday. The short week leads to irrational results and is damaging to teams. I've always thought that it should ONLY involve two teams coming off a bye week.

I love the prime time games, but to me a "Saturday Night football" would make a LOT more sense. Heck, if you time it off the bye weeks you can have Friday night football too.

Well just relax as you probably need to get your mind off football for even just one day. Love Sunday nights though!

Flat?

Sorry to hear about your blown tire shecolt. I like your storytelling technique though. It was very clever. Sadly though replacing a tire is never cheap or easy. My condolences.

oh no, ;(

I am full on operation blue out!

This made me smile, I'd expect nothing less from you, Shecolt ;) I think you must be my twin

@CF4L Thank you! I'll check that out. Now, I need to convince Nadine that we need to have a Colt's coloring contest.

@Princeton I saw the tape at my local Meijer store, but you could probably find it in other stores or online.

Have Fun, Jay...

Wish I was able to go today.

Nothing developing as yet. The atmosphere is ripe for evening and overnight storms...daylight would be much better

Battle of Derecho???

Rhymes too much with Jericho. One thing is for sure, I don't want any walls come tumbling down, will pray for that

It doesnt afect me much as all I do is drive to Drs , all quite close, & to moms assted living , also not to far,

EVEN the ER i haave to go to to often to meet mom is only 4-5 miles away

when i return a leased care they know they get a bargain as hardly any miles on it, but do know it greatly affects others

On the rare occasion I go out with friemnds, they know not to let me drive in my medical condition

Tell me about it! It's costing me a ton just to drive the 2 grandsons to football practice 4 trips a day. Now I get to pay for the gas to go to the games starting pretty soon. I think the farthest is like 60 miles one way.

crazycolt1

its Crazy Colt it Crazy what total costs amount for a family to go and enjoy a sports event together

Shucks....

Good one CM51 & very funny! Gramz's response make me chuckle too. HA! HA!

Great pics.....

They are great pictures & congratulations on the new addition to your family schwamm!

That doesn't sound good. And, I just heard that Boston may get as much as 25 inches. Yikes!

Stay safe 1285...could be a monster..

Hopefully it stays north of us, thankfully we are only in the 3-6 or 4-8 bands (depending on what you read).

My best friend is looking at "24+". I just emailed him some helpful advice: "Don't be a hero. Remember to bend at the knee when lifting large glasses of scotch in your den."

Same here to ya!!!!

Happy Birthday Friend. Have a GREAT Day....!!!

I know I said it early buddy, but happy birthday....on time too after a great Colts win!!!

I don't like him either. Is it an ad strategy to be annoying and hence memorable?

Never seen the guy. I have pop-up's blocked. Not just annoying, but some can be hazardous to your computer. No idea why I haven't seen on tv though - regional?

He has been on the NFLN. I didn't catch much of last night's game, but saw him in several commercials also. However, he leaves his magnifying glass at home when he does the commercials.

Thurs. come and gone, still no rain, only clouds and some wind

scary, hope that doesn't happen.. straight line winds beat up my town pretty good about 15 years ago, it looked like a class 4 hurricane came ashore, scary stuff indeed...never want to see that happen again

Stayed south of me too on the last round About 2 miles south had nice showers. Storms stayed in KY.

well that will be fun to spend, once those repairs are done..happy, happy!

That is a little stress out of the way shecolt. I am glad insurance is taking care of the repairs.

There was so much damage that I doubt there will be any left over to spend. But, if there is, I'm getting AC in my car!!!

"eewww! centipede in my basement gave me shivers yesterday" Yes MCF, there is something quite unsettling about all those tiny legs moving across human flesh isn't there? Play the scary, horror theme music...Just Kidding & bring the biggest can of RAID you own ASAP!!!

Geesh, not only do I have those big, fat, black ants; I also have those little, itty-bitty, pesky red ants. The bug man is coming.

eww Those red ants HURT when they bite.....

Hope your bug man gets there Soon.

After the scare wore off, I found it funny also. This was in a small town where things are much more laid back. And, of course, I was the only customer in the bank at the time. As my friends often say, stuff like this could only happen to me.

Funny story, MAC! Thanks for sharing.

I started reading....and I was envisioning the man with the shotgun....started worrying for your safety shecolt. Thank goodness it was not a robbery. MAC and SW....priceless. 100GFB: a lil too much information

@MAC The TV my husband blew up or out was "my" little 19" with a built in VCR (I'm still old school). I loved that TV and will be scouring ebay and craigslist to see if I can find another.

Our power was only out for 6 hours this time as the storm was very tame compared to that super derecho.

Sorry shecolt. If it was me, I wouldn't buy a used piece of electronics unless I could try it out first. VCRs don't last forever in the best of circumstances (the head being off a little bit could result in it not working properly for you even if it worked for the previous owner. You can buy new combo vcr/dvd players for reasonable amounts of money, and after getting our modest sized flat screen I wouldn't go back to the old style if you paid me.

same here...

same here......

...here the same yes

you have such a blessed live with nature. if you listen to Bob and Tom on the radio and comedian Tim Bedore, it is an "animal conspiracy"

Song now going through my head, Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road, la la la

Gramz, I did forget about that mouse. What seemed so horrific to me at the time now pales in comparison to a bat and a skunk.

Coltman51, I did a search and found a youtube video of Tim Bedore speaking about the "animal conspiracy". That was really funny. Thank you.
