Monday, a brand new week
and the end of this post 'til Thursday. Wow! That wasn't long was it? Oh well,
I guess it's that time of the year. We only run into it once in 365 days.
That's not too bad, is it? At any rate, the Computer and I are going to take
off New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. We'll be back on Thursday.
Actually I didn't get much done over the weekend as my miserable cold has
really set in, with both feet. At night I'm up half of the night coughing and
hacking and the daytime is miserable coughing and carrying on most of the
time. Boy, I'll be darn glad when this darn thing runs it's cycle and leaves
my body!
Now, after all of my usual complaining by golly it looks like we're in for a
pretty nice holiday week. Oh yeah, we're supposed to have rain over the New
Year's Eve and Day but that's sure as heck better than having a snow storm
like over the Christmas Holiday! That's a fer sure!
Now listen to me, if you're going out for New Year's Eve or Day and it
includes adult beverages, for gosh sakes DON'T DRIVE HOME take a cab or
stay over or anything but stay off the roads. I want to see you right back
here, at my web site on Thursday morning and darn it I want to see you with
all of your physical pieces! All of your arms, legs and organs where they
belong in the right place! Don't disappoint me! I do care about you and
am concerned that you will be back here as often as you have time to read
about my mundane life throughout 2003. Let's keep that appointment, okay? Now
that that's over let me not only wish you a GREAT holiday, but also have a
Wonderful time!!!
I must, you guessed it, go to the doctor's again today for an appointment to
discuss my last blood tests. He said my sugar is high. I'm going to find out
if I am a diabetic or not. Don't that sound like fun? Oh well, at any rate, I
have a few things to get done before Betty and I must leave to keep the
appointment, so for me it's back to work, and for
YOU,
YOU have a
GREAT
day!!!!!!!!

T.G.I.F The end of a short
work week for most of us. I know it's been a very long week for the PennDot
state road crews. They been working on the roads since Christmas Eve.
Well, it's official now, we're not going to have the family get-together at
our house on Sunday. I just can't shake this darn cold and I feel just
miserable. Besides that I don't want to give it to the entire family. I don't
want them to look back on this Christmas as the year Chuck gave them all a
terrible present. So we're going to cancel the family Christmas day until the
Sunday after New Year's day.
Nothing stops the work from coming. It's slowed up a little around Christmas
and that's okay with me as I'm not moving too fast. I should get more rest
with this darn cold. At any rate it looks like it's going to be a good day. I
really like the Christmas decorations and now we're going to keep them up for
awhile longer than usual. That's okay with me I just hope the Christmas Spirit
stays alive. The kids and the grand kids will be ready for some more gifts in
a week or so.
I've got to try and get some orders out before I take a break so it's back to
work for me and YOU,
YOU have a
GREAT Weekend!!!

The day after Christmas and
we don't have much to clean up around the house as we had very little company
yesterday because we got hammered here, in Central Pennsylvania with a record
breaking snow storm! We received about 9 inches here at the Blue Bird Cottage
along the mighty Susquehanna River. Some places very near us received 12
inches. The storm broke all, over 100 years, records. There were few people on
the roads in our area yesterday when the snow was coming down. So we had a
VERY quiet Christmas. Our family will all gather here on this Sunday and we'll
exchange gifts and stories then. Hopefully by then some of the snow storm will
be cleaned up.
That was basically our Christmas. We settled down and watched a couple of
movies and did some crossword puzzles, (we like to do crosswords together). Of
course Betty made us some dinner, no we didn't have ham as I don't eat any red
meat, so we had, as usual, chicken breast, mashed potatoes and gravy. I was
going to try to get some work done yesterday but ended up reading my email and
answering a few. That was the extent of the "work" that got done, here in the
office.
I'm still fighting a miserable cold and it has reached the coughing stage. I
was up half of last night hacking and coughing. Thank goodness it is breaking
up some.
We'll be digging our way out today as we must get some supplies. I don't
expect to get much done in the office until this evening. I do have a few
things that I must get done to get into today's mail so it's back to work for
me and YOU, YOU
have a GREAT day!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!!!!!

The beginning of Christmas
week and all is well! At least I think it is. Caught a bad cold over the last
few days and am trying to shake it for Christmas. At the moment the
weather people are calling for a mixture of snow and rain for Christmas Day so
we may have a white Christmas.
Last night we had Betty's grandson, Mike Snyder, from upstate stop in with his
wife and little girl Briana to see us. WOW! Little Briana is becoming big
Briana! I've put up a couple of pictures for you to have a look at in
Chuck's Daily
Photo Gallery 2 on the left of this page. Just click and have a look!
Nothing like meshing with family members at Christmas time.... Ain't it
GREAT! I'm sure you have family plans over the holidays and that's just fine.
I wish you the best. Usually we go down to my nephews on Christmas Day for
dinner and some nice "get - together" conversations. However I may not make it
this Christmas with this darn cold and I'm not sure if I want to give my cold away as Christmas presents. Don't make sense to me. The best
present I could give to them is to stay home! As much as I'll miss the
get-together I think it's best to stay home this year.
I know that you probably have Christmas plans but if they include traveling
for goodness sakes be VERY careful and watch out for the other guy! You can be
the safest driver in the world but won't get away if a bad or drunk driver has
you on his/her dance list! Be very careful. I want to see you
right back here, after the holidays.
While we're on the holidays I want to tell you the computer and I will be
taking the next couple of days off. Christmas Eve and Christmas. We'll be
right back here, on Thursday Morning. I hope you get everything you are
dreaming to get. I've already got everything I wanted. The best thing I've
received is just being here. "I'M ALIVE" I know that doesn't seem like much to
you but to me after that last hospital visit, believe me, just being here is a
treat!!!! I'm going back to some things in the office and to helping
Betty decorate the house and YOU,
YOU have a GREAT
Christmas!!!

T.G.I.F. Yep, here we are
again at the threshold of a GREAT weekend. What's different about this
weekend? This is the weekend before
Christmas! If you don't have all of your presents purchased that means that
you're going to be out this weekend, at the last moment, hunting your bippies
off for presents. I really do pity you as we are "on going" shopping and I see
stores running out of things daily. Yep the other day we went to 4 different
stores hunting something and nothing, nada, nil , they were all sold out. Yep,
you're going to play heck to find anything that's popular.
However, if you looking for that odd gift that everyone is NOT looking for you
may be able to save some bucks. Betty's son, John and wife Debbie was looking
for a decent digital camera. John does NOT like shopping so he went shopping
on the WEB and found exactly what they were looking for at a real good price
and with an extra FREE 64 meg card. He searched the local papers for something
close to the price and product. He found what he was looking for at Circuit
City. They always advertise that they will at least match prices of any other
retailer. However I never thought that they would match web offers. John
printed the web offer, took it along, and lo and behold they matched it down
to the FREE 64 meg card! Decent.. Now that's a good tip for you..
Search the WEB for the best price, print it out, and take it along with you
when you shop your local stores! It just may save you some big bucks! In
John's case it saved him a lot! Try it you'll like it...
Betty has been working and we are now just about ready to bring our
decorations down from the attic so with any luck we'll have them down this
weekend and have a lot of them up before Monday. I got a lot done in the
office but am still not caught up. (What's new?) However I'm getting there and
with any kind of luck I'll get caught up over the weekend. Yes, I know with
all of these weekend plans it doesn't look like we're in for a lot of fun.
However, I like my work and I do like decorating the tree so it won't be all
that tough!
With all of these plans, I'm going to get back to work, and
YOU, YOU
have a WONDERFUL weekend!!!

First of all if you tried
to get to yesterday's jokes and received an error page I'm sorry as that was
my fault. That's been fixed and if you want to try yesterday's jokes they are
now online and where they belong. Again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
We're supposed to get rain today, here in Central Pennsylvania. The up side?
It's supposed to warm up some. That's okay with me as it's really been cold
around here for the past several weeks. Well below the normal temperatures. It
will be good for a change....
Took the bulk mail to the post office yesterday. I hope it all gets delivered
without too many hold ups.. Sometimes you hear all kinds of stories
about how the post office will let bulk mail sit until after they get through
all of their extra Christmas mail. They forget about us folks who are steady
customers throughout the year with them. Of course I'm just a small time
operator but can you imagine the big bucks some of the bulk mailers spend like
Hasband and other catalog and magazine mailers? We could probably retire on
just what Hasband spends in a year! Oh well, we can only dream... of
retirement that is....
Christmas is less than a week away. Today we're going to get our stuff down
from the attic and get our decorations and tree up over the next several days.
Hopefully we'll get 'em up before Christmas arrives. We just barely made it
last year I sure hope we finish earlier this year. We'll see.
Well, I must get some work done before climbing into the attic so it's back to
work for me, and YOU have a
GREAT day!

The middle of the week and
all is well? I sure hope it is well for you also..???? I got to the
doctor's yesterday for my blood tests. That was an accomplishment.
Lets get into a good feeling for today. Let's think positive.
What can YOU think positive about? A good cup of coffee? Well, I can relate to
that! A good satisfying breakfast? Gosh know I CAN sure as heck relate
to that!
Now, are you feeling all tingly and warm inside? There you go, now you can
face the day ahead right? I hope so as I don't see how we can change it.....
Yesterday I must have received Monday's mail. Remember I mentioned that I only
received a few pieces of what I normally receive on a Monday. Well I think the
Post Office had it alright, they just didn't get it in my box as yesterday I
received 42 pieces of mail! That's what it should have been on Monday after
the weekend.
Did you read about after the post office had raised the cost of postage the
last time, a few months ago, they found an extra 2 billion dollars that they
didn't know they had! Can you imagine that? 2 Billion Bucks! How in the world
can you misplace 2 Billion. So we can relate to just how much that is let's
break it down into millions. 2 Billion hmmmm..... that would be 2 thousand
Million Dollars!!! 2,000 million dollars! Wow, do you think that just maybe
they didn't need the increase? Yeah, me too... But don't get the idea
that they will drop postage prices because that will NEVER happen. Not
in a million years, or should I say 2,000 million years! They did now promise
not to raise postage costs at least until 2004. Oh goody, that's so nice of
them.... Oh well it's something. Come to think about it, maybe I'd better
check around the office and the house. I may have just misplaced a million or
so around here!
On that note,
I'd better end this nice chat as it's time to pay the piper!! Time to get back
to work. As Arnold used
to say, "I'll be back!!!" Please believe it as I wouldn't want to have
to kill you!!! YOU have a
GREAT day!!!

Christmas is getting closer
and closer. I hope you're all ready for it because we aren't yet that's for
sure. We still need to get our stuff down from the attic and get our
decorations and tree up. Tomorrow the bulk mail should got to the post office
so maybe this week we'll have a few extra hours to get going on the tree. If I
remember, last year we were decorating the tree on Christmas Eve. Boy I hope
that won't be the situation this year!
Yesterday was supposed to be the biggest day of the year for the post office.
They handle more mail that day than any other of the year. Well if that's true
it wasn't my mail. I usually get at least 20 to 40 pieces of mail a day.
Yesterday I received 4 pieces from my postal box and 5 pieces from our home
mail box! Way less than usual that's for sure. So much less as to make me
wonder where the heck my mail is? Oh well we'll see what today brings.
I must go to the doctor's this morning for the blood tests that I missed a
couple of weeks ago due to the ice storm. Hopefully we'll get home in time to
get some work done. With that in mind, I'm going back to work to get a
few things done before it's time to leave and YOU
have a GREAT day!!!

Hope you had a good
weekend. We had a pretty good one here. We stayed home Saturday and got a lot
of work done, inside of course. I heard from my "former" daughter-in-law and
got some great new pictures of the grand kids. That's one of the GREAT things
about Christmas, it seems to bring families together.
Course it also empties your wallet... no, no, I know that's a bad thing to
say, but ain't it the truth? Well it doesn't have to be that way. Lately we've
been buying gifts throughout the year when they come on special and save
money. My brother-in-law was telling me that he has a friend that has several
children and they always celebrate their Christmas exactly one week AFTER
the traditional Christmas Day. A day or two after Christmas mom and pop go
Christmas shopping for ornaments, toys, and other gifts. Most of the ornaments
and lights they get 75% to 90% off! Almost everything is on
special after Christmas. After all, most people have spent their Christmas
club savings, credit card specials and there is nothing left to spend.
Retailers are desperate to get some cash flow the week(s) following the big
day and show it by lowing their prices to cost or under cost! That's
really when to shop. Okay, okay..... so you don't want to hold your
Christmas until after the traditional the big day... That's okay
but you may want to think about buying gifts for next year right after
Christmas. I know you can't buy 'em all as the IN things will not be
IN until right before Christmas next year but most of the gifts can be
bought early... It's definitely something to think about.
With only 8 days left 'til Christmas Eve I know we, (Betty & I), are
running behind. We've got most of our gifts purchased, and thanks to Betty
they're all wrapped, but we haven't even got our Christmas stuff down from the
attic for decorating! I know, we'd better get on the stick!
Well, today we'll be working on the finishing touches of the bulk mail so I'd
better get back to work. YOU.......
YOU have a GREAT
day!!!

T.G.I.F. Another rainy day
here in Central Pennsylvania. Nice and dry in here in my home office though
and the coffee is great! We should be out of our draught pretty soon around
here.
To start your weekend off with a nice smile I'd like to pass this piece on to
you that was sent to me by "Chuck's Daily" reader, John Gross:
Subject: Can't Believe You Made It - This is worth taking the time to
read......
If you lived as a child in the 50's, 60's or 70's, looking back, it's hard to
believe that we have lived as long as we have...
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Riding in
the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special treat. Our baby
cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paint. We had no childproof
lids on medicine bottles, doors, or cabinets, and when we rode our bikes, we
had no helmets. (Not to mention hitchhiking to town as a young kid!) We drank
water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. Horrors.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then rode down
the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes
a few times we learned to solve the problem. We would leave home in the
morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came
on. No one was able to reach us all day. No cell phones.
Unthinkable.
We played dodgeball and sometimes the ball would really hurt. We got cut and
broke bones and broke teeth, and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.
They were accidents. No one was to blame, but us. Remember accidents? We had
fights and punched each other and got black and blue and learned to get over
it.
We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank sugar soda but we were never
overweight.........we were always outside playing. We shared one grape soda
with four friends, from one bottle and no one died from this. We did not have
Playstations, Nintendo 64, X Boxes, video games at all, 99 channels on cable,
video tape movies, surround sound, personal cell phones, personal computers,
Internet chat rooms ... we had friends. We went outside and found them. We
rode bikes or walked to a friend's home and knocked on the door, or rang the
bell or just walked in and talked to them. Imagine such a thing. Without
asking a parent! By ourselves! Out there in the cold cruel world! Without a
guardian. How did we do it?
We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate worms and although we
were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes, nor did the
worms live inside us forever.
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't,
had to learn to deal with disappointment. Some students weren't as smart as
others so they failed a grade and were held back to repeat the same
grade.....Horrors. Tests were not adjusted for any reason. Our actions were
our own. Consequences were expected. No one to hide behind. The idea of a
parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of. They actually sided
with the law, imagine that! This generation has produced some of the best
risk-takers and problem solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years has
been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure,
success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all. And you're
one of them.
Congratulations!
Now that's what I call a TRUE story!
Well, lots to get done here before my weekend begins and
YOU have a GREAT weekend!!!

Here I sit in a frozen
Central Pennsylvania! I didn't get to the doctor's yesterday for the blood
tesclippery as an eel. Yes
it was not a good day for traveling here in Central Pennsylvania yesterday. A
lot of businesses and government facilities were closed yesterday or at least
left employees off earlier. It was just a terrible day for driving. I
re-scheduled my doctor's appointment and the only place it went was a trip to
the post office. I needed my 4 wheel drive just to get out of our driveway!
Yes it was quite a day and I really pity the poor folks that were in all the
un-avoidable fender benders yesterday. Gosh I'll bet the body shops are doing
a land office business today! That's the report from here today as far as the
weather and the traveling conditions and I'm afraid it's not a very good one.
From last night 'til now they are calling for smaller stream flooding. Thank
goodness we live along a VERY large river, the mighty Susquehanna, and if
flood conditions do exist for that it will take several days for it to get to
and overflow it's banks. The good thing is most of the time we have plenty of
warning.
I received a complaint from someone who received a FAX from someone who is
promoting our Pre-Launch for
International Coin
Liquidators at 1 AM in the morning. I think this is terrible as my home
office is right beside our bedroom and we get awakened many times for a FAX
that could have been sent during business hours. I can understand why this
person was upset. However, he had all the information of where the FAX had
originated from but because there was no email with the FAX he decided to
attack the main source, ME, as my email, web site, and address where listed on
the circular that was FAXED. Now, mind me, I am against the practice of FAXING
in the middle of the night as we have been woken up many times with
promotional advertising in the middle of the night. It's just that I thought
this dude should have went after the guy who sent him the FAX. I think he only
went after me as I had an Email address and he could send me a complaint for
FREE. IN the meantime, today I made two long distance phone calls, wrote two
Emails back to the complainer and also wrote a snail mail letter to the guy
who sent the original FAX to the dude at 1 in the morning. It took about an
hour and a half of my day. What a trip. I wish he would have contacted the
original sender in the beginning. However this is business and we must expect
these setbacks. What a day... I hope today goes better.... At any rate I
really have a lot to get done before my trip to the post office so it's back
to work for me and for YOU, have a
GREAT day!!!

We have freezing rain here
this morning in Pennsylvania. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to make it
to the doctor's or not. As it's not a matter of life or death so I'm going to
drive out our lane and check the highway and if it's too icy out, I'm going to
call in and reset the appointment for another day. I'm just going for routine
blood tests so it won't matter if I schedule for a later date. At least one
that's not a death trap on the roads. We'll see pretty soon. I really have
plenty to do here in the office today and I'm still working on the bulk mail.
I have about 2 more print jobs to do plus a lot of folding so I have plenty to
keep me busy the rest of the day even if I'm trapped in the house.
I tossed some stale caramel corn into the back yard yesterday to see if the
squirrels wanted any of it. Wow, did they want some? I'll say! They were
fighting over it for a couple of hours. Finally it was all gone so I guess
they got it sorted out who got what. The
"wild" rabbit"
stopped in no less than 3 times yesterday for food and cleaned his plate every
time. You'd think he was starving to death. All he ever wanted before was
stale wheat bread and cut up carrots but yesterday he was even eating some of
the "rabbit pellets" I bought for him. Originally he wouldn't touch 'em but I
guess when you're hungry a lot of stuff starts to taste good. I think the
pellets are better for him than the other stuff. But as it is with us, we only
want the stuff that tastes good, that's the way it is with the rabbit also.
I'm going to pull some of the older pictures down in the Photo Galleries on
the left of this page to make room for some new stuff. So if you have looked
at all of them and want to, check 'em out this week yet. If I get time I'm
going to pull some down this weekend. Well I have a few things I want to get
done before it's time to leave so it's back to work for me and
YOU have a GREAT
day!

Another super cold day here
in Central Pennsylvania. Where did all the warm go to? Darned if I know but I
am already tired of Winter and it's not even officially here yet! This cold
weather must be affecting our
"wild" rabbit"
as every morning it seems lately he's up on the top step here at the sliding
glass door to my office looking in as if to ask, "Where's my breakfast?" It's
probably because with the coldness it's causing him to burn a lot of calories.
Actually he looks kind of chubby compared to the regular wild rabbits around
here. At any rate he does look quite healthy. Hang in there bunny, only 4 more
months 'til spring!
I received 9 more entries for our Pre-Launch for
International Coin
Liquidators yesterday. That puts us up to 84 members so far and we are
just getting started! It's still early yet if you haven't joined as I expect
we'll probably have close to 1,000 pre-launch members when we end it at the
end of January and get ready to enter the main program. Wouldn't you like to
start into a nice profitable program with a downline already built from you?
Wouldn't that be a great start for the new year? Darn right it would!
Today I'll be working on getting out the custom packages for the pre-launch
and also I'll be doing some printing in preparation for the next bulk mailing
which we should be getting out before Friday. It's going to be really busy
here in the home office today. Tomorrow morning I have a doctor's appointment
to get blood tests and the weatherman is already calling for freezing rain in
the morning. I may not make it but I'll just have to wait and see just how bad
the weather gets. I'm hoping for another "mistake" from the weather people and
have the storm miss us altogether. I also have a customer's web page to build
today and upload to the search engines. Looks like I'm in for a busy day and
I'd better get to work. YOU have a
GREAT day!

Here were are at the start
of a brand new week and it's a bright sunny day here in Central Pennsylvania.
A very cold day but a bright sunny day!
As it's been so cold here lately I barely went outside at all over the weekend
so I got plenty done here in the office. Yes, I'm almost caught up. I have
been able to say that in quite a while. Of course I haven't picked up today's
mail as of yet though. I never know how busy things will be around here until
I pick up the mail.
As today is the start of a new week, I'm going to write some Thoughts To
Ponder taken from the latest issue of George McGuire's
WORD OF MOUTH
newsletter. George has a great sense of humor but his thoughts have a
lot of truth in them. Read on and enjoy:
How come today, in this high speed, high-tech world, where the Postal Service
has all of this really fast sorting equipment and modern day service, do you
walk in to the lobby, find five windows, four of WHICH ARE CLOSED, and a line
a half a block long? I WANNA KNOW! How come back when stamps were only 3˘,
they could have two mail deliveries a day, almost never a waiting line, and
mail all went by train, yet it was faster than today? I WANNA KNOW!
Here's another:
How come the insurance companies got laws passed to force everyone to wear a
seatbelt, for auto manufactures to install airbags, seatbelts, safety steering
wheels and more, but keep raising the insurance rates instead of lowering
them? I WANNA KNOW!
And yet another:
How come everyone who smokes can read the words "CIGARETTES CAN KILL" on the
pack, but can sue the tobacco company for "MAKING" then smoke or get addicted?
Who do you sue if you get addicted to drugs? Who do you sue if you get killed
in a Ford car? Who do you sue if you become an alcoholic? Who do you sue if
you go off the road and hit a telephone pole and disfigure your face? Who do
you sue if you buy a gallon of beach and drink it? Ridiculous? Do you suppose
McDonald's ever expected to get sued for making some guy fat? Do you suppose
McDonald's ever thought they could get sued for making their hot coffee too
hot? I WANNA KNOW? If you want to get rich today, sue somebody!!!
This guy's a riot, isn't he? Maybe later in the week I'll put a few more of
his observations in here again. Now, as for me, it's back to work, and
YOU have a GREAT
day!!!

T.G.I.F - We end the work
week here in Central Pennsylvania with a bright sunny day! Cold as heck but
nice. It's just beautiful outside with the snow and all. Oh! I did take some
pictures yesterday and put 'em up here so you can see what it looks like
around here. It was cloudy yesterday as it was snowing off and on but you can
still see the pictures pretty good. Just click on
Chuck's Daily
Photo Gallery 5 and go to the bottom of the gallery to see the pictures I
snapped yesterday. The river's getting a good bit of ice on it but it's still
moving. (There's a couple of pics of the river also.)
I did get the bulk mail to the post office yesterday. I stopped at the
Pharmacy and they were closed. We did get some snow, about 7 inches not enough
to close businesses, or at least that's what I thought. I then stopped at the
bank to make a deposit. You guessed it, that was closed too! Wow, I guess I
was lucky the post office was open! We're getting wimpy here, in Pennsylvania
in the last 15 or 20 years. The weatherman calls for a couple of snow flakes
and boom, we're all running to the store to stock up on milk and bread because
we're afraid we're going to be snowed in. Why? Darned if I know as THAT NEVER
happens! With today's snow removal equipment no one is ever trapped in their
homes more than a few hours at a time. Just wimps, that's us. I mentioned
yesterday that when I was a kid they didn't even close our schools until there
was at least a foot of snow or because the snow was drifting onto the highways
and made it impassable for the buses. Then, they might close the
schools. Do you see chains on the school buses anymore? I haven't seen a
school bus with chains on it in years. If they need chains on the buses, they
just close the schools. Yep, we've turned into wimps.. scaredy kats, that's
us!!
Hopefully, we'll get out long enough today to stock up on some kerosene for
our back up heaters. It got so cold last night I had to fire one up. Remember,
we live in a cottage. It used to be a summer cottage. We have winterized it
plenty but we have windows all around it and a lot of heat escapes. It takes a
lot of heat in this cold weather to keep it comfy in here.
Well, lots to get done around here today before my weekend starts so it's back
to work for me, and YOU have a GREAT weekend!!!

Whoa, Doggie!!!! Everything
is white here in Central Pennsylvania! Yep we have snow! Lots of it! About 4
inches so far but it's supposed to snow the rest of the day so, who knows, we
may have quite a storm before it's all over. Maybe I'll get a chance to use
the 4 wheel drive in the Jeep. Wow, I won't know how to act. Since I bought
the Jeep in 1997 we have not had an appreciable snow fall. I think I've had it
in 4 wheel drive a total of 10 minutes since it was new! Well, I have a bulk
mail to take to the post office today and a couple of other chores so it will
get into 4-wheel drive today by crackie! I'll get some pictures today and get
'em up here so you can see what it looks like with snow around our area.
There's plenty of ice on the river as it's been very cold the last several
days but so far it's still moving and not frozen over.
Boy, it looks as though Central Pennsylvania has never seen snow before when I
glance at the television as they are showing all the school closings. I
remember back when I was in school, (ok, I know it was a long time ago), there
would have to be a least a foot of snow before they decided to shut down the
school. I remember we had a lane about a mile long that we had to walk out to
reach where the school bus picked us up and I remember walking in snow almost
up to my knees and the bus showed up almost on time. We had a radio and a TV
but we did not have a telephone. Until the radio got the news that our school
was closed we had already walked out and waited for awhile and walked back
home. We never got a message that it was closed in time to save us that trip
and we had no phone so we never REALLY got to sleep in. That didn't matter
though as we were so happy to get a school day off.
I was really happy when I opened my home office. But now that I look out the
window, I don't have an excuse to take a day off because of the snow as I'm
already at work. Still it's better as at least I don't have to fight my way to
work in the snow and people sliding all over the place. Yes, I guess I'm still
better off right here with my cup of coffee. Yep I'm happy.
I must do the paper work for the bulk mail and a couple of small orders and
then I'll see how hard it is to get to the post office. In the meantime YOU
have a GREAT day!!!

WOW! Someone left the door
open here in Central Pennsylvania. It's cold outside. Real cold! I think we
may have set some records last night and now the weather man is calling for a
snow storm tonight. Me thinks winter has arrived! Boy, I pity the outside
animals as they will really need extra food now for heat. I think I'll find
something today to put out for the squirrels and rabbits. I don't care if it
snows a lot as long as we don't run out of coffee and fuel to keep warm.
That's the two things I need to survive.
I was at the Heart doctor yesterday and I told them the problems I've been
having. They took an EKG and listened to my problems and upped my nitro pills
to help with the extra pain and told me to try that for awhile. Not as much as
I'd hoped for but better than nothing I guess.
I'm back. I had to stop typing for a few minutes. Our
"wild" rabbit"
just showed up and looked through the front, sliding glass door so I knew he
was hungry and had to go get him a plate of food. For him its dried wheat
bread and cut up fresh carrots, those are his favorites.
"Stuff" to get done is still piled high on my desks so I'd better get back to
work and YOU have a GREAT Wednesday!

Boy, it's nippy here this
morning in Central Pennsylvania. Worked late last night trying to get all done
I could as I mentioned yesterday it's a trip to the doctor this morning.
We haven't even started to send out our Christmas cards but I guess we'd
better "shake a leg" as were starting to get some already. I guess the post
office wants us to mail as early as possible. I was going to do some personal
ones on my computer but it's easier and just as cheap to buy 'em. I do give
some customized ones to some real good friends each year though. They have
come to expect to read their names write on the cards with the verses etc.
They are good friends so it's well worth the extra time it takes. There is no
way I could make personal cards for everyone though unless I started at the
beginning of each year for the end of the year.. It does take awhile for
each one.. I felt pretty good yesterday. Better than I have for a few days.
Isn't that always the way though when you have a Doctor's appointment, when
you finally go to the Doctor's you're always feeling better and wondering why
you even made an appointment... Always the way....
At any rate the appointment is for 9:30 AM so I'm going to wrap this up now.
Take a look at today's Joke sheet. It's a good one!

Wow! What a vacation! We
had a GREAT Thanksgiving Day and got a lot of Christmas shopping done. Not all
of it yet, but I don't think we have that much to go yet. The cold weather has
really settled in here in Central Pennsylvania with no outlook of warming up
at least in the long range forecast. We have started to receive some Christmas
cards already. The post office should be getting plenty of business this time
of the year. Maybe they should look forward to the Christmas season to come
out in the black just like the regular retailers. We can always email
Christmas greetings and I know I'll be doing plenty of that, but it sure
doesn't beat getting "real" Christmas cards that you can hang around the
mantle or doorway for all to see, does it?
I've been working at least some each day and still I've been falling behind.
I'll have to try to get some extra done as tomorrow I have a Doctor's
appointment at the Cardiologists. Hopefully he'll have some answers as to why
I've been feeling so lousy lately. I sure hope so... I felt pretty good the
first week or so after I got home from the hospital but boy since then I've
not felt very good at all. Off and on I get a lot of tightness in my chest
like I got before I went into the hospital. Even more so now at times..
Hopefully as I said, I'll get some answers tomorrow.
I sure hope that your Thanksgiving was nice and that you are safe and sound.
They claim that most car wreaks of the year are around and on Thanksgiving. I
didn't hear about too many this year. I sure hope the stats are DOWN!
Oh! I almost forgot to mention that our
"wild" bunny
made an appearance on Saturday! He was missing for over 4 days. Don't know
where he was as he wouldn't talk but I'll get it out of him even if I have to
choke him to..... Oops.... That's right, he's a rabbit, he can't talk
can he? Oh well then I'll just have to wonder where he was... hmmmmmm...
To my mail order friends: All of the Once a Month
Association statements are in the mail. Got them all out on Saturday.

International Coin
Liquidators is drawing in more members daily.
