Thanks Hellrider for the info on the car battery saver. I think I may go get one if the temps continue being as ugly as they have been. I really don't see the end of this winter mess anytime soon. You must be frozen up in Canada! I really don't think I could take that kind of cold in the negatives durring the days. Saw an e post from Alaska today. -44 degrees during the daytime. Burrrrrrr! Sends chils through me just thinking about it! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by hellrider 31038 from Sunday, January 10, 2010 11:31:44 PM)

hey Spapad reason i asked is because my mom had the same problem with her car untill i bought her this baby for christmas last year
not enough power in the battery to start the car or the battery goes dead just hook this thing right up to the battery terminals .its been used quite a bit and has never failed.not to expensive this one was on sale.might want to keep it in mind.

Thanks for asking Hellrider, it's been stuborn to start but it really does much better than the factory batteries I'm used to. Tomorrow is suppose to be up to 33 degrees!

Ron, glad to hear that other than the hospital acquired pneumonia you Dad is doing well. Hospitials are truely the worst places to be sick! Can pick up staff in two days at one of them. Yuck. Much prayers to him feeling better soon.
DF, glad to see you found your way here today! Hope that means you got your PC conflicts taken care of!
We are having a heat party here today in coldasslandia! The temp topped out at 28 F!!! Almost enough to melt something, but not quite!

Thought I'd take a moment to catch up on some back-reading of the goings ons here...looks like things have been a little quiet around here.
Got the first week back to work under my belt and I couldn't be happier!! There's something about getting back into the swing of things that brings a sense of security back to things. A little something I hadn't shared with my friends here but I feel more comfortable doing so now is that on New Years Eve my Dad had surgery to remove one of his kidney's due to cancer. It's been a battle for him and the family as this is just the latest in a series of "removals" he's had to go through because of the big "C"...but he is recovering fine, albeit slowly. Unfortunately he picked up pneumonia while there and it's slowing things down a bit...reminds me of why I hate hospitals...go to one and your almost guaranteed to catch something!!
Anyway, we got about a foot of snow over last day and a half and now are expecting frigid temps...no snowman or angels for me yet!!!
Hope everyone's doing fine and am looking forward to a great year and some wonderful changes in the upcoming months!!!! Take care all!! Edited at: Saturday, January 09, 2010 5:20:55 AM

She's a bit shaken from the wreck. May take her a little while to feel comfortable driving. She'll be ok though. I had a nasty car wreak when I was young and for months when I drove past the place it happened my pulse would race and I would grip the wheel like it was all between be and doom! It's a shocking thing sometimes, but we all move past it. I still go past that spot each day on the way home and never think about it. Her confidence is hurt worse than anything.

Just talking to my mother in law on the phone, finding out the details about Craigs sisters car crash on sunday night - she crashed her car and it's written off, thankfully she and her boyfriend are ok. Poor thing is feeling sorry for herself though, which is understandable.

Yeah, I just got back, Vail. Overall, a nice little trip. República Dominicana, St. Thomas, British Virgin Isles (BVI) and the Bahamas. I got limited news on the boat but saw that the majority of the country is gripped in a cold spell. I'll spare the membership from pics of me peeling from too much sun. JP cross pics to come, though, in the pics of you thread.
I love cruises because you meet people from all over the world. My favorite? A woman from South Africa. Made me think of you, JoeD, every time she spoke as I have had limited contact with the accent prior to meeting her. Too cool. Never got a chance to ask about her tastes in music, but still...
Ok, a few pics to come once I unpack a bit. Until then, a big "happy birthday" to those friends that I missed. Know that I was thinking of you! HAAAAA!

Are your kids full time? That was my big eye opener. All this "free time"! I think it's great that your kids ran in without a second thought. At least you know they'll be ok, and they didn't go crying and clinging to your leg. Don't worry, they still need you!

It's Monday morning, my kids are back at school and I feel a little lonely (crazy, I know lol)
They're just growing up way too fast for my liking. They started their first day at their new schoo. This is more of a preprimary than a play school so now the structure really begins. The teachers are very big on teaching them independance etc so they ask that we just drop them at the door, kiss them goodbye and then leave. No walking in with them, carrying their backpacks for them or even carrying the kid into school.. which is pretty much what I did at their old school lol. So this morning, we get to school, they grab their backpacks, barely notice I'm there waiting for my kiss and are clampering into the school all full of wonder and excitement.. Had to steal a kiss on their cheeks as they rushed past me lol.
Omg! I've turned into one of those mothers who cope less with new school changes than the children do lol.

Yup, things have been quiet around here. A good thing considering all the crapola that occured in the past few months. Hope your dad recovers quickly!!
Has anyone noticed how the "members online" thing is now always at 0? I wonder why?

Hope everyone's doing fine and am looking forward to a great year and some wonderful changes in the upcoming months!!!! Take care all!! Edited at: Saturday, January 09, 2010 5:20:55 AM

Happy metal new year to you all! It's nice to see people are sounding generally happy. That's cool! As for those complaining about the weather, I would really like to feel bad for you, but here at home in the Great White North, it has warmed up to 3.2'F. Warmed up. That's right. It was frightfully frigid between Christmas and New Year, around the -18'F range, without the windchill. BRRRRRRRRR!!! I feel cold just talking about it, and I'm sitting here in long underwear. And I doubt I would survive without my block heater and interior car warmer. It cuts the chill in the van a bit, and keeps my Priest CDs working.
[Deep Freeze] Monday, January 04, 2010 7:50:29 AM
Good Morning, all! So, it would appear that we all made it through yet another year! Great to see you all here on the "other side". So, once again we find ourselves attempting to "get back in the swing", as it were. I read Ron's comments with great amusement. Ron, my friend, I do "get" what you are saying. I recall with fondness those days! I know it would seem odd but I do remember returning to the "grind" and getting back to work. How I miss it.
I have a good feeling about this year. I cannot say why exactly. Just a feeling. It's going to be hard to top the amazing year I had in '09 but I suppose we'll see. More good times and great music ahead! Let's get this party started.

the headlight thing sounds bogus to me. something to gently warm the battery would help but.... unless you buy an electric wrap for it and remember/find locations to plug it in.... dunno. my last car I bought used, replaced the battery after 4 years. maybe I was just lucky. 11 miles should be enough to recharge it fully, I would think.

It's been a good but challenging year and an equally challenging decade. The Priest is back and here's hoping they'll greet the new decade with a butt-kicking new album and a great concert DVD. It can only get better from here, right, ladies and gents? Happy New Years Eve (and Happy New Year to those who already saw it arrive).

Well now, here we are again! Another year has past and we remain a huge, loving family. I cannot think of anything better! For this, I am grateful.
Throughout all the years we have seen so much. So much. I am sometimes just so amazed at how this site has morphed, evolved and grown. We have lost some. We have gained some. And through it all, there has been that unending, tangible, real family. For this, I am grateful. As much as we have changed, we have still remained the same. The caring, devoted fans that make up the core of this site remain some of my dearest, most precious friends and for this, I am grateful. We have been lucky enough to have many opportunities to spend some time with the mighty Priest in various parts of the world and for this, I am grateful. Some of us have spent time getting to know one another in a more personal way. Sharing our history and building our future and for this, I am grateful.
It has been a wonderful year despite our woes. And, lest we forget, life will always have obstacles. Trouble lurks. We deal. We survive. Please never forget that, no matter how difficult things may seem, we are here. We are together. We are one. We have each other and we have music. The tie that binds. That which brought us together and that which has held us fast can never be taken from us. We ARE one and for this, I am MOST grateful.
A VERY Happy New Year to you all. I sincerely love you.
Mike

*yawn* Just dragged myself to work today. Should've called for vacation, but oh well. Had a great Christmas weekend, and I hope everyone else had as well. I prefer simple celebrations now, and I don't know why. It just seems to be a new thing now, since for the past couple of years these get togethers with the family are getting smaller and simpler. Even Thanksgiving was small with only some of my step family and some family friends. Could just be the times but that doesn't bother me.
[joedraper] Monday, December 28, 2009 4:55:29 AM
Hi Blah dwellers!..
I kind of missed the whole Christmas vibe here because I was sooo distracted by the fantastic time we were having at home.. But better late than never so, Merry Christmas everyone! I've made some amazing friends here that I treasure deeply and have been educated, informed, shocked and amused so many times thanks to this diverse board and its valued posters!
I'm busy winding a transformer for an amp I'm making so that is taking up a wee bit of my time. So far it seems to be going ok.. Two more transformers to wind and then I start putting the rest together. I am so keen to see how it will turn out. I've been wanting to do this for years and now Craig finally has the time to help me get it done (he's like a master tube amp builder and I got sick of just watching and listening to the finished product ha ha ha).
And er Brandon, LEARN TO SPELL!
Really! Enough already, your post are difficult to read and I think you can spell, you just get a kick out of not trying. If you really have a problem then please get help. You will benifit from it in the long run. At this moment in time, I just skip over most of your posts because it's just not worth my brain power trying to decode what on earth you are trying to say. Surely I'm not the only one thinking this?
[guidogodoy] Sunday, December 27, 2009 9:52:25 PM
I also agree. It it just too much to believe that someone can spell so poorly. "Mi vs. my"? "Theire?" No. Sorry. Don't buy it either unless he is in the second grade or a non-native speaker. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Brandon Taylor from Sunday, December 27, 2009 4:56:21 PM)

What Apps?!? I can only guess Yahoo. Like I said before, it is so loaded with flaws / spyware that I won't allow it on any in my labs.
What a wonderfully lazy day this has been!! Haven't watched any football, instead have been watching The Librarian series (right now it's the Curse of the Judas Chalice).
Broke in the new waffle iron and hot chocolate maker...deliscious with strawberries and whipped cream!!! Just finished eating grilled bacon cheeseburgers!!
Great to see Strat making a visit back to us...best of luck in school!!
I went back to IE because Firefox wouldn't allow me to use some apps, and I have absolutely NO problems here at JP.com!!!
I'm very happy to see we've all made it through Christmas...off this coming up week and I really am at a loss on how to fill up some of my time...any suggestions??
Also...NO New Years resoloutions for me this year!!!!!!!!

You said meaningful Ron. World Vegetarian Day is on October the first. I'll be having some of those bacon and cheese burgers to celebrate that one. Not sure if the hippies have managed to get everyone a day off for it though. Probably not being hippies.

Hi JJ and Vail!!
Not that I NEED a lazy day, but I do enjoy the unexpected ones : )
I don't have a real tree this year, that was last year as we alternate. I usually leave the decorations up 'til New Years is over as it's depressing taking them down. Btw, when's the next meaningful holiday??
ps...I graduated from a public school as well...lol Edited at: Sunday, December 27, 2009 5:25:42 PM

What days do you get? In NZ Good Friday and Easter Monday are both paid public holidays.

Oh no, I don't get that one. I only get six paid holidays a year. It sucks to be me!

I'm with you there Spa!!! My next paid holiday off is Good Friday!!

Had I known his address I would have sent him the Hungy Hippos Game! HA!! As far as Holidays go, any holiday I get paid time off, which are very few, I'm happy with!

Only a day or two more and the new year (and new decade) will begin. Who's excited?
