I am not sure we all know where we are from part of the time:}

Welcome. Lots of people from all over.

[Suzanne]

[Cynthia]

My eyes are just watering. Allergies. Cold. Too Many pets.

[Cynthia]

Who wants to come visit meeeeeee??

[[deleted user]]

I do!

[Cynthia]

Come on down! I will pick up groceries. And fix the guest bed!!

[Carol]

TC meetup in Hawaii - I wish!

[Cynthia]

Yes that would be fun. Flights to Iowa are cheaper, though.

[Carol]

I'm thinking you might have snow and no ocean views.

[CD]

There's the Des Moines River . . . It sometimes is my cousins backyard, front yard too recently.

Our floods are a result of theSkunk and squaw creeks.

Omg it's lucky Sally isn't around. She would be writhing furiously. :((

I am squirming internally in your absence Sally.

Creeks. Some people call them rivers. Not cricks.

[Cynthia]

I have a crick in my neck.

[Félix]

My body creaks when I walk sometimes. And Gail you are correct about the long-missing Sally.

[evie]

My left foot produces a rhythmic clicking sound when I'm walking.

Is this a regular thing in Madison?

[Cynthia]

Gail: Not so much in Madison, most of the latest unarmed black male shooting news has been out of St. Louis/Ferguson Missouri. It's crazy.

[[deleted user]]

We are celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary tomorrow by driving up the coast to have lunch at a lovely restaurant by the beach.

Sounds lovely, Gail.

Hope you have a happy day, Gail.

[Cynthia]

Cheers to Gail and Mister Gail!

[[deleted user]]

Thanks! We had a lovely lunch, the weather was a bit wild, that just made the lunch more cosy.

[Carol]

Happy Anniversary!

[Susan]

Hi Barb!!

[[deleted user]]

While this group is a little on the quiet side these days. It is still extraordinarily nice to pop in and say hello every now and then.

Barb if you pretend day 5 doesn't exist maybe you might manage to slip it by everyone else as well?

[evie]

Hi Barb! Holiday time is hectic with the children's social calendar.

I hope day five can be your day.

[Cynthia]

Hey there Barb!

[Cynthia]

Hey there Barb!

[Félix]

Barb is back!

Heidi is moving on, I hope she's found a job and finished settling in.
Gail has a driving / dating daughter. Good luck with that.
Laurin's has a new job. Congrats! How is ..."

New job is going well. I'm working a lot, but it's much more enjoyable than my last job.

[[deleted user]]

I learn yesterday, that my daughter no longer has a boyfriend. She let him down gently.

[Félix]

Nothing exciting hereabouts. Quick trip to California and back.

[Cynthia]

Counting the days until daughter moves to her new, super-secret apartment far from bad bad boyfriend

Good for her!

[[deleted user]]

That seems a little scary, she had to go to such extreme measures Cynthia. I hope the move is successful.

[Félix]

I hope the same. Yikes.

[Cynthia]

Thanks. As much as I would like to tell her what to do, she is figuring it out on her own, with the help of a few people who have been in her shoes.
