i am free, free i tell you.....

[seabeyond]

6 degrees. coldest day yet. my son ran out of gas up the street. i heard the truck stalling. so out of bed, gather the stuff i need. no coffee.... never never good. no coat, but a jacket. slippers, lol silly me. no gloves, no hat. (we didnt realize it was so cold, in our warm and cozy bed). in pitch black, i go to put gas in the truck so he can make it to the gas station. .... an hour later, and hands just thawing out. toes arent there yet.

what a way to start a day. at least i have had my coffee. oh... at least i had a gas can that made it easier. at least, it was not 30 below, lol.



good morning everyone. what an interesting couple months. what an interesting couple days, on du.

lets roar.....

[In_The_Wind]

11. Good morning, seabeyond.

Love the photos.

I'm staying inside where it is warm.[img][/img]
The chocolate lab was up to her butt in snow again this morning. It's gonna continue all damn day.

[seabeyond]

12. good morning wind.....

always, and i mean ALWAYS, take the time for the first cup of coffee.

[In_The_Wind]

16. Yeah. I hate the days when I can't have coffee first thing.

Sometimes I don't have a cup of coffee until late afternoon on the days when I'm working.

[seabeyond]

18. ooooosh.... cant/wont/dont do. this morning, lol

lesson learned. wont happen again for decades, lol.

i really started in anger this morning. blamed it on the coffee, but could be getting out of bed when i didnt want, son not filling up like he should, having to deal with a dog first, son in shorts and jacket, no gloves in 6 degree weather, or merely having 6 degree weather with my body out in it.

life is grand..... and interesting and fun.

[sheshe2]

14. Hi I_T_W

I just called into work. I'm not going anywhere either!

Yeah, a self proclaimed snow day!

i want

[sheshe2]

20. It's all yours!

I have already shoveled twice and it's not even 11AM!

Yikes you have it cold! And your son in shorts, gotta love him.

[seabeyond]

23. shovel? you are suppose to shovel the stuff?

i thought that was what the sun was for.... when it eventually came out.

and ya. i lost that battle. lol. i use to have a rule, if under 50.... jeans. now, meh, freeze your ass. done. 16. should be able to figure it out. i think this morning MIGHT have left an impression on the kid though.

[In_The_Wind]

19. The snow really is deep here.

It has been an interesting couple of days on DU but not in a good way unless you like to have all doubts removed as to who the rapist apologists, pedophile protectors, and general sexist jerks really are.

Remember...never wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.

[seabeyond]

49. passing fair....

So Happy! Welcome HOME! *hugs*

[seabeyond]

51. TEXAS......

lol, thank you. and i speak.

[Warpy]

52. This was the first morning my alarm bell

wasn't an elderly cat evacuating the contents of her GI system on the floor next to my bed.

However, I too woke up to SNOW.

Yes, it's snowing in the high desert. Look out, downstreamers!

Yeah, I'm glad you're back, too, believe it or not. Let the battles begin!

[seabeyond]

55. it didnt get above 6 today, lol and -24 with wind. no wonder hands froze so quickly.

i kept texting son all day if he wanted me to bring him some clothes.

and... i think you give me way more credit that i deserve. i have been reading the dust ups. plenty of people speaking out and not taking shit, ..... lol,

Hi sea!!!!



Missed ya.

[seabeyond]

63. madrast.....

thank you

[gollygee]

60. I'm glad you're back

but I'm afraid this means the people I was glad were gone are also back. LOL

[seabeyond]

64. gollygee....

it is all individual on coming back. the date on the first hide that falls off after 90 days. though i saw another get back in the afternoon yesterday. but.... it depends on hide dates.

thanks

i am really curious about what happened in school.....

i am really glad you told that story

[gollygee]

67. We know one of the administrators socially

so we talked to him and he was very nice about it and said he doesn't think they've talked enough about what constitutes sexual harassment, and that there's a drug awareness assembly coming up and he'd look for a speaker about this issue and add harassment to the assembly.

[seabeyond]

69. excellent golly....

and THAT is how i have always experienced schools. i have always been able to walk in with concern, and been met with equal concern. and appreciation that i spoke up.

thank you golly. i am really glad to hear that. thank you for letting me know. yea

[MadrasT]

73. That sounds great.

Glad they are aware and planning to take some sort of action.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

61. not until trumad posts in ths thread

then I will rec it.

then I will know for a fact that all our comrades are back and ready to soldier on.

good to see you sea ...

[seabeyond]

65. ah, trumad.... yes. i am hoping he comes back and i am understanding... not coming

back.

when there are certain of us that know, you will be the continued focus of some, it make du old. i had a cutsey little subthread where they gather. no reason. not to talk about the Op. not to talk about what i posted. just merely to insult.

who does that?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

68. childish, juvenile people who do not want to learn and grow.

who are happy with the status quo, I am taking a guess here but, that is my first thought as to how those type of people operate.

Probably not very introspective ... truly, the underlying reason/cause is Fear.

[seabeyond]

70. meh.... lol, certainly not my problem. lol. but, yes and i hear ya. nt

[Tuesday Afternoon]

71. well .... you asked ...

I just call it the way I see it, is all.

[seabeyond]

74. ya. after posting i went back to re read what i posted

to see wtf we were taking about, to see if i was anywhere close with my answer. lol. that happens sometimes. and said to self.... self, you asked. lol

[UtahLib]

62. Hey sea!

...just dropping in to give you a big welcome back hug.

I do believe I witnessed a few of your "biggest fans" unable to resist playing their same sweet games. But really, you are the one who never changes? Irony alert!

[seabeyond]

66. hey utah!

and a big hug right back to you.

sigh... can you believe. not even a full day and they honed in. for absolutely no purpose but to insult. that is what makes me.... the baddest of the bad.

[JTFrog]

72. .

[seabeyond]

75. and.... the special of who you are JT....

always

[bravenak]

76. I am glad to see you back.

[seabeyond]

77. ah bravenak....

and you.... you were the one i so often wanted to jump in and speak with, while i could not.

thank you

[bravenak]

78. I wanted you here.

Don't worry though, I've been keeping up with my Misandry so that I can continue oppressing men forever.

[seabeyond]

79. bah hahahahha. perfect.

i too need to sharpen the claws. nah, i really dont, lol. i am such a puppy dog. floppy ears and all.

ok, most all that was my own self humor no one will get. but it was fun for me.

[bravenak]

80. Nobody usually gets my jokes, either.

But I laugh all day. I told one yesterday that only one person noticed. I'm still cracking up about it.
Nobody at my house got it.

[seabeyond]

81. you and me sister.....

someone told me about having a droll witticism. hadnt heard that before. certainly live what you do in my house. so i told both boys.... i have a droll witticism. what makes me laugh and laugh. couple days later, said something to youngest son.... told him, this would be the droll witticism. lol

i will be gigglin about that one for a while.

[bravenak]

82. I like it!

I'm using that one.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

84. !

really is good to have you back on board

[hlthe2b]

83. Sorry to be late to the "welcome back" party, but great to see you, Sea

you still planning to move to CO Springs?

[seabeyond]

86. thank you hlthe2b

i dunno.... lol. how is that for an answer. i do not know if boys are done with amarillo yet....

[hlthe2b]

88. Well, as cold as it has been for you in TX this year, this has been a rather snowy/cold winter here

So, you might keep that in mind...

Glad to have you back!
