The "Totally Off Topic" Thread

[BarnGoddess]

Excuse me for butting in, but just got home from Bailey, Co., where Emily Keyes was one of the girls taken hostage and shot not long ago.

Here's a link for that:

We went to a Colorado State Square Dancing Meeting. The BarnGod and I are State representatives for this. It was a beautiful trip and if I knew what the mountain passes were light in daylight, I would have been hanging on for dear life. We found a wonderful little lodge for two nights and a great restaurant for some fabulous meals, straight out of New Orleans. It snowed again, the 6th weekend in a row now out here. It was great to get away for a while and see the Rockies. We did have a young lady help us with chores while we left. We could even get cell coverage while up there. I took pictures and will have to download to a site, so I can put them here.

My purpose in posting this, is just getting my new notebook set up. Had to wait until I got home to get my wireless hooked up. It appears to work with no problems.

I will now get into the case and see what's new.

Hey Charlie, we priced Timothy grass in that little mountain town and it's going for 10.50 per small square bales. We made a deal for a semi-load of oats for $90 per large round bale. Our snow hasn't melted one little bit, so we need to feed until Spring it appears. That load will be 23 bales at least.

I'm posting this as a test of my new Dell Latitude notebook.

Glad to be back home, but did enjoy the glorious Rockies. Spent the night at 9600 feet above sea level.

I love having a Totally Off Topic thread...but why is it placed under Michelle Young's case thread?! Maybe a mod could move it to another place where it can be found easily. It is a great idea tho!

It was placed here so posters who frequent this forum can go OT with each other rather than trying to chase each other through all the other topics say in the Jury Room. Easy access and tends to keep the threads dealing with the case fairly clean of OT stuff - basically some of us are too lazy to hunt :crazy:

Ah, OK. Makes sense. Thanks for the reply!

I think every forum should have an o/t thread. This was a great idea! Thank you Sami!! They should try it at CTV! :crazy:

[scandi]

Oh, I wish I was at your house tonight Close. That would be so much fun. Sit by a fire with a fellow Websleuther, watch the snow drift down and have a nice homemade dinner. Sounds like a little bit of heaven.

You're getting snow NOW??? I thought it was gone! I hope it's not coming this way, but it probably is. We have had NO SCHOOL in a week except for one day. This is getting real old - I think the kid is as tired of me and I am him! It snowed here yesterday all day long, but the sun came out and the dusting we got was gone in 15 minutes. If it has to be this cold, it could at least snow and be pretty! I would like to have one really good snow so we could tube down the hill and then I want it to be spring!!!

Ok...that was my daily rant - guess I better turn the tv on in case they let out again.

Panthera,


Yes, she has a name - Tahnee. She is 3 years old and is part Cherokee. We have decided that great effort will be expended to insure that her native american heritage is known, available and instilled to the best that we are able. We are lucky in that there are Cherokee tribes and centers not far from here, well, over in Oklahoma but that is not far. The excitement here grows everyday, will be signing the final papers and filing them next Tuesday so hopefully, not long now.

j2mirish - I'm not sure how controlled I can be - no experience with little girls just boys and I have been pretty demanding of them in many ways. Will be a huge learning experience for me. I'm going to have to fall in line and follow my wife's lead on this one for sure.

Well, I've got one boy that is thinking he will be getting a car before long, he has found out he has to shovel the horse puckey first and then he has to pay for it himself ! Don't think he wants a cake after that...
