Thursday Roll Call

Good morning Illinois! I gotta tell you all that Rockford did a great job getting our streets plowed!  I was really surprised.  I think this is the first time I've seen them so good!  I was impressed and relieved. So what's everyone up to today?  shoveling themselves out?  Lots of snow to shovel! Miss Lucy, you should stay happy with all that shoveling you do!   You said you love  to shovel!   Just think of the calories you will burn off! Dawn I was worried about you all day yesterday!  Was it a bad trip home?  I saw that they closed RT 20, had to be a struggle to get home!  Was worried about you too Christine.......walking home from work even if it was 1/2 a mile!  That wind was whipping later in the day!   Everyone you all have a great day!  Pam

GM everyone in Lincoln Land. The wind was whipping pretty bad when I walked home yesterday but I had my below the knees down coat on and was warm. I also always have a hat, gloves and scarf on. I really like to walk better than drive to work because we always have to go down and move our cars part way through the shift so public works can do the lots. Also the left turn into my work is not a protected lane and trucks and cars come barreling up behind you and I wonder if they see me. I heard a car laying on the horn because someone was turning into the lot to vote and the person turning left was driving correctly, go figure. I think the lady in the Beamer just felt inconvienced to have to go a little around the turning car, there is a paved shoulder and almost a complete lane for them to go around. So, I just do not like to drive in the morning because of that turn. By the way there is sidewalk all the way to and from home to work. Well for me just the same ole same ole at work. I am going to Stratford Square mall before I head off to support group tonight. I need to pick up a gift card for a birthday party   on Saturday. I had also wanted to go into Burlington Coat factory to see what they have in long down coats. Mine was a resale shop find and it is time to replace it because the color is not exactly my taste anymore. It is a pretty yucky teal blue color. That is just about the extent of my day, pretty boring actually.  & Christine

Good Morning All. My Thursy is going to be as boring as everyone elses, work, then a few errands and home to watch Survivor.  We really only got about 2 inches of snow yesterday and last night. Thats OK. Less to shovel. Everyone stay warm and safe. THINK SPRING Hugs

I bet I can top your boring day Chris.  I'll be leaving in about 10min to go to work.  I'll stop at Dunkin for some Java. (Dunkin has to be the big highlight of the day) I'll need to come home and let the girls out after work and then off to support group. Have a good one! Christina

Christina, yes you probably had a boring day compared to mine. I had a horrendous day starting at about 1030. I got grilled by a defense attorney  (on the phone) as to why I did not return documents to her and her client from an expungement  (obliterate - case being removed from the court system for dismissal or acquittal) of his case. All in all the defendant was not entitled to the documents. My boss backed me up with the fact that I answered his question - did I respond to the expungement correctly ? yes - he said no porblem, you have nothing to worry about. All in all I felt like I had been on the stand with her being questioned under oath! Chris

Good Morning IL!   We only got about 3-4 inches yesterday, but it is SO heavy and wet it was hard to shovel....well tha'ts what Mike said anyway...lol

I had the day off and a headache just about all day too. I will be seeing a surgeon next Wednesday for the lump under my arm.  Today it's back to work for me and back to a full day of school for the boys.  Other than that, I have nothing going on.

I'm glad that Rockford did a good job with everything, I have a sister and bil that live there.  My parents are in Oregon, IL and they got about 14 inches too I think. 

Everyone have a wonderful and safe day!

Good morning Pam, Chris B., Christina and Monica. Yes, I've been shoveling a lot of snow. We got around 7-8 inches in my area. That stuff was so heavy to shovel yesterday and today. I'm so sick and tired of winter. I'm treading along day by day and trying to hang in there. Some days are better than others. I hope everyone is safe and sound. It is sure nasty out there! Hugs, Lucy

Down near me we did get some snow, but not much.  I won't even attempt to shovel it.  Not worth it.  I have my plans for going out with friends on Saturday.  It will be fun to be away from home for the evening.  Besides that, nothing is going on at all.  Rather boring day.  Oh yeah, Ash Wednesday services got bumped a week at my church.  I wonder if that means Easter will be bumped a week as well.

Good morning Pam and IL. Well we got 21 Ins of that white stuff, and when my HD got off work early and taking my son home from work some guy came out of the gas station too fast and hit my Car, taking out my side mirror and of course the guy does not have car INS. it was not even him car, it was his brothers. any way my in Ins will cover it I hope,  other then that not much going on, the guys are here today to finsh up putting in my new heater and air, and duct work, as yesterday they could not make it in due to the weather, hope everyone has a good day, 

Janet, I hope no one was hurt in the fender bender. How bad was the car hurt? 21 inches of white stuff is way to much to handle at one time. I hope you get everything with the furnace done today. They always seem to go during bad weather. Hugs
