Thanks Glenda, Now, not only am I tired out but I am depressed. :( My skirt is tight and I know I have to diet. Only cheery thing is thinking of the money I shall save on food as I, hopefully, attain my old slim self and what new clothes I can spend it on!!! I wish. Maggie

Sorry Glenda......I had heard it before and I couldn't think of anything else....lol Had the grandchildren here today and the brain is in serious danger of shutdown!!!! Maggie

Feels like a tomahawk has just pierced my heart ! Glenda :( >Can't say I blame her Glenda ! > >Tontomount to mental torture ........... > >Dave :-) > >> >Groan..........lol >> > >> >Maggie :)) >> >> >> What ??? a groan ??? :o (: >> >> Glenda >>

THE MONTH AFTER CHRISTMAS 'Twas the month after Christmas, and all through the house Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse. The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste All the holiday parties had gone to my waist. When I got on the scales there arose such a number! When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber). I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared; The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared, The egg nog and rum balls, the bread and the cheese And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please." As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt And prepared once again to do battle with dirt-- I said to myself, as I only can "You can't spend a winter disguised as a man!" So, away with the last of the sour cream dip, Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip Every last bit of food that I like must be banished 'Till all the additional ounces have vanished. I won't have a cookie, not even a lick. I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick. I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie, I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry. I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore--- But isn't that what January is for? Unable to giggle, no longer a riot. Happy New Year to all and to all a good diet!

>Groan..........lol > >Maggie :)) What ??? a groan ??? :o (: Glenda

Groan..........lol Maggie :))

Hi Becky et al, my son spent some time working around Bismark, North Dakota some years ago and I remember him telling me that the parking places had cables provided to plug in to the cars [automobiles] in order to stop the engines freezing solid.

Hi Brian I don't think my present batch go very far into Gorton but I will eventually be getting more because my lot were in the Clewes St. West Gorton area in 1881. If you tell me the names you're interested in and perhaps even an address I'll keep a look out for them.

Just an added note: Almost every truck is equipped with warning lights & bells, so it can be shut down if there is a malfunction. Becky Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG Anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.225 / Virus Database: 107 - Release Date: 12/21/00

Yes, there are places to plug in your vehicles. This does help tremendously with a cold start. However, sometimes it is cold enough that the diesel (will turn to gel, engine shuts down) & air lines will freeze up as you go down the road. This is what the additives help tremendously with. Imagine, if you will, driving a vehicle which weighs a minimum of 60,000 pounds (what that is in metric's I don't know) at 50 miles an hour. The air lines have frozen, but you don't know that because you haven't watched your gauges or maybe a gauge malfunctions. Then, you try to brake & there is nothing there. There has to be at least 125 pounds of air pressure for the brakes to function. My trucks, when loaded, weigh between 40,000 & 72,000 pounds. It takes quite a lot to stop these trucks, something that the average driver doesn't think about. There are some trucks out there with the capability of loading heavier. Well, so much for a quick comment on air brakes. Take care, Becky Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG Anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

The Lone Ranger and Tonto walked into a bar and sat down to drink a beer. After a few minutes, a big tall cowboy walked in and said "Who owns the big white horse outside?" The Lone Ranger stood up, hitched his gun belt, and said, "I do...Why?" The cowboy looked at the Lone Ranger and said, "I just thought you'd like to know that your horse is about dead outside!" The Lone Ranger and Tonto rushed outside and sure enough Silver was ready to die from heat exhaustion. The Lone Ranger got the horse water and soon Silver was starting to feel a little better. The Lone Ranger turned to Tonto and said, "Tonto, I want you to run around Silver and see if you can create enough of a breeze to make him start to feel better." Tonto said, "Sure, Kemosabe" and took off running circles around Silver. Not able to do anything else but wait, the Lone Ranger returned to the bar to finish his drink. A few minutes later, another cowboy struts into he bar and asks, "Who owns that big white horse outside?" The Lone Ranger stands again, and claims, "I do, what's wrong with him this time?" The cowboy looks him in the eye and says, "Nothing, but you left your Injun runnin"
