AliceTheOwl Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Re: The Last Word Sorry, you posted while I was responding to L Marcus above. Weather here now ... getting up to the mid-60s, F. No intention of moving here. We'd have to win a lottery, have a house fire, or some other unforeseen event like that. Ah. Okay, then. Weather was downright cold when Josh and I got up this morning. Overall, it's been a mild, cool, sunny day. Good weather for moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Re: The Last Word Yeah, I figured that'd be case. I doubted I'd get to two weeks (which is my personal threshold for that) but you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
