FearofH2O

Hi twilight. Living a little further west in Winston-Salem, we had 2 to 4 inches and it did get cold here. There is still some snow left from Friday. I had to pick up my granddaughter from school and it took 4 times longer than usual - an hour each way. Worse yet, my husband fell on Sunday afternoon and injured his hand. X-rays don't show a break but it is so swollen, painful and discolored they think it may be a break that is hidden. I was hoping he would help wrap on Saturday and Sunday but hopefully my granddaughter and some friends will help. A wonderful CV poster has volunteered to do Mon and Tues.

I had that surgery too and also waited forever. I have an autoimmune disease in my right eye so the steroid drops I take during a flareup caused my actual lense to harden. The cataract surgery took quite a bit of time as the actual lens cracked into several pieces and she had to pick them out. When i started having trouble seeing again I was a little upset but the laser fixed it right up. Having a flareup now but I started weaning off the steroids until after Christmas when i should be good to go. Don't know why she didn't offer to fix up my vision maybe because I didn't have a cataract in the other eye. Tuning into BOLD now.

Happy Birthday Clay. Enjoy your last good year. From now on you'll have to lie.

Nice new Heading. Unfortunately it reminds me of Christmas shopping, which I have not started yet.

Merrieeee, have a great cruise. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Congratulations twilight. Great that you are enjoying the new job.

Good thoughts that your husband finds a new job ldyj. We survived losing a job three times and came through quite well. But that's how we ended up in the south.

Nice canfly! It was a nice brunch.

Twilight covered most of what happened at the Gala. I did enjoy hearing Clay sing "Suspicious Minds" again. He does a great job with it. Every note last night was perfection and if anything has changed for the better with his voice, he does sing with a lot of emotion. I guess age and experience does that to you. Of course Clay was as funny and snarky as usual. One I remember was when they were taking a short break, Clay said we have to take a break because Shaun has a small bladder. But then he was bragging about the Broadway shows all the musicians were in. He said Shaun was going to be in "Frozen" opening soon on Broadway. I'll continue later

The preparty was not quite as crowded as lastyear but still hard.to o find a seat. Clay looked great. At brunch as we had our pcture with Clay and Diane, Clay complimented me on my tunic. I went over to Jerome to tell him how great he looked. I couldn't resist petting Harlem. So much smaller than I thought he was. Jerome said not to mess up the dog's hair and then laughed. Games this afternoon were fun and afterwards I won a basket. Heading out shortly for the GalS. Each year it seems to get better. Nick is a great addition to the team. Much more casual and fun. Sorry for the bad typing. I'm. Onl my tablet. Gala was amazing. No words. Will try to get on my desktop tomorrow.

Leaving tomorrow after lunch. Only an hour and a half away. Looking forward to a short break. Hoping all goes well with dh and granddaughter since neither drives. I asked my son to help but he needs to finish a work project this weekend. Ill shop later tonight. Granddaughter has a n orchestra concert until eight which I better go to first.

Have a great time merrieeee. We'll miss you at the Gala. I'll be staying with playbiller there. I'm a little frightened of leaving my husband and granddaughter alone as neither is driving. Hoping my son will help out.

Something going on in NY ? I assume you"ll be at the Gala next weekend. Enjoy the great weather.

Cute banner.

I tuned in late but the woman discussing taxes seemed pretty sharp.Clay said something like she made taxes sexy and he finds himself nodding in agreement with her although he knows he really doesn't agree with her. His commentator voice gets better all the time and he really looked the part today, mature and sophisticated.

Its a big problem in NC. The court threw out our redistricting which was racially discriminatory and our legislature made a few changes and voila , it's still discriminatory. We need a new method of selecting our districts, preferably an impartial method. I so agree with Clay.

I'm with you Twilight. I'm happy to hear any of them. Hopefully we will hear many more. Last year's Gala was so good.

I added "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green Maybe this will give Clay some new ideas for a possible album.

I think he is in quick sand right now. Somebody save him before he goes under.

Hi back to couchie. It's Been a while. Happy Birthday ldyj.

Thanks for getting us together on the ad Ldyj, it looks great..

Happy Birthday merrieeee!

Take care merrieee. Awful situation. Our thoughts are with you.

Take care. This is scary weather. I read an article where a homeless man was interviewed. He decided to stay under the bridge because he couldn't smoke or drink in a shelter, but was still concerned about what would happen to him and his belongings. Hope everyone remains safe with a minimum of damage. Horrible situation.
