OLLD 7/22

First one up this morning? Wakey wakey everyone! Wicked thunderstorm rolled through here just now, crazy lighting and rain!
Featured Answer

    Morning to you all. How long do your thunderstorms last? Ours usually manage 5 or 6 claps of thunder and that is it. You always know the peak one, it feels like the whole house will shatter. I was reading in the news this morning that the East Coast is about to get a break from the weather you have been having. Just hope it is a break for the better.

    kd - congrats on your golf. Hope it continues to improve - don't get too cocky now.

    Jayme - glad your boating day went well, although losing phones could prove costly.

    We actually had clear blue skies all day today, first time in weeks, but we are getting wind from the Antartic so there is a real chill in the air which is nice. Nights are really cold again 7 and 8 deg for us, the water keeps it warmer, out west it drops to zero and below.

      Refresh my memory, Jayme... what did he say? It probably wouldn't fly, but it would be nice if they honoured his mother in some way with the name.
    • 13 years ago
      She should make allowances. Diana was his beloved mother and it would go a long way to make her more popular with the masses.

      The kid will get at least three middle names. Surely they can work it in there somehow! But then, his poor uncle got stuck with "Harry"...
    • 13 years ago
      As long as they skip Charles in the line up of names.
    • 13 years ago
      @kimdee.....He made a few thinly veiled remarks in re: raising the boys in a way that would be basically more "human" & the Spencer family having some say in their upbringing...sorta as if the royal way basically sucked. I remember watching it...very emotional speech from Diana's brother.

      Mforr....I am married to a Charles...LOL
    • 13 years ago
      I meant the grandad, not the actual name, lol ;)

      LOL! And thanks, Jayme... I'd forgotten about that.
    • 13 years ago
      @mforr...ha ha...I figured!!
      Kimdee....You're welcome.
    • 13 years ago
      Where the heck is UPS? I'm expecting a delivery and they are still not here, almost 6pm.
    • 13 years ago
      Ha. Speak of the devil. He arrived about two minutes after my post.
    • 13 years ago
      Well, the floors are at 99% so stay tune for the pictures.
    • 13 years ago
      I saw them on your dilemma thread, Angela... they look great!
    • 13 years ago
      Where is the rug Kimdee.
    • 13 years ago
      Hi Jayme, Michelle, MP, busy, STK, Astraea, Roo. How is everone
    • 13 years ago
      Bella and Lulu approves.
    • 13 years ago
      Kimdee, we are running on the same cylinders today. We were getting a delivery this week of one of those mosquito trapper things, and my husband mentioned it, I said , hmmmm let me see if they sent a shipment notice. We were sitting in screen porch and up the front steps comes mr UPS man!! I of course thought we were magical and we then said, where's that package of a billion dollars, no one came to deliver it though. :(
    • 13 years ago
      How the heck did you get such good lighting all of a sudden? I can see the sage in the paint and I can now see the match of floor tile to the manufacturers image, no yellow!!! Love, love, love it!!
    • 13 years ago
      Me too, I am so happy, the tile changes color too depends how you are looking it. Nice.
    • 13 years ago
      Michele-you see the paint color in the hallway.
    • 13 years ago
      Angela, the rug is on it's way. It's scheduled for delivery for Wednesday... however, I just got a notice that they are putting down the final layer of asphalt on my street... on Wednesday... so it might be delayed if they can't deliver...
    • 13 years ago
      Thanks Kimdee.
    • 13 years ago
      I thought that was what the UPS was delivering today.
    • 13 years ago
      Noooo... he brought me a shower caddy that I ordered. And then I went into the shower to install it, and I found this:

      https://www.houzz.com/discussions/what-is-going-on-here-more-shower-troubles-wth-dsvw-vd~573683

      And now I'm really angry. I'll be on the phone to my builder again tomorrow.
    • 13 years ago
      Oh wow, looks like the clear crap they using to caulk now. The same thing was use in mine and I hate it. So sorry Kimdee.
    • 13 years ago
      So I guess that there was two threads started today.
    • 13 years ago
      ?
    • 13 years ago
      There is another thread out there, that is where Bobbi, has been. I asked if she was boycotting us and that maybe it was me and my room.
    • 13 years ago
      Oh no, I'll have to find it.
    • 13 years ago
      Odd
    • 13 years ago
      Hmmm, weird. Good night, going to try and wind down.
    • 13 years ago
      Good night Angela, glad for you. :)
    • 13 years ago
      I am happy too Michele and just so you know, thank you so much for all your help.
    • 13 years ago
      God, I hope you're not shutting down your thread. I'm so happy to be helping you, don't finish the journey yet. :)
    • 13 years ago
      Oh no honey, not in a million years.
    • 13 years ago
      :) that's all good then, talk to you tomorrow.
    • 13 years ago
      well...got a new phone...Samsung..don't know anyone's phone numbers so I am S.O.L. for now...
      -what the heck ...another thread? bobbi must think we all went missing!!! I better find that thread!
    • 13 years ago
      Hi, Jayme, not sure what is going one, weird. Checked in over there but nothing coming from that camp.
    • 13 years ago
      Michelle-really liking the white curtains from West Elm.
    • 13 years ago
      last modified: 13 years ago
      Angela...I checked "Monday" cannot locate bobbi. Weird...miss her! Your floor is FAB!!!
    • 13 years ago
      Thanks Jayme, as I said weird, told her that I have missed her and asked if it was my room and no answer.
    • 13 years ago
      They are pretty nice Angela, if you use them maybe then the matchstick blinds you ordered would be the way to go. Maybe only very small touches of the blue in bird pillow scattered here and there in accessories.
    • 13 years ago
      something is odd, for sure. Hope she is o.k....maybe it's that weird virus on her computer?
    • 13 years ago
      Yeah, that page has not updated for the past three hours.
    • 13 years ago
      last modified: 13 years ago
      I think she was there and then deleted her posts. Did any of us offend her? I hope I didn't, why would the thread be titled Monday? Perhaps I'll just go to bed and not worry about something I just don't get. Night you two :)
    • 13 years ago
      Not sure and yeah, you right good night, catch up in the am.
    • 13 years ago
      Woohoo, West Elm items are schedule to be delivered tomorrow.
    • 13 years ago
      Angela - Love your flooring; it has such a clean look to it!

      Kimdee - So sorry about your shower problems; hope the contractor gets it right this time!
