HEY,
it's not the gif that j.w posts saying hello or happy birthday type of thing. that is whats being mentioned , its going to the posts and multiple people have responded and they all have up to 4 gifs on each post dancing around . too much of a good thing it looks like blues clues.
j.w message me after i asked you to chill with how many . all upset she loves to add feeling to her hellos and its pleasant. so i emailed ian sayin i was not looking to get them shut down but was there a limit. seems he is no fan of them either. im not here to fight in text .YES i bitch about the bull shit in today world anyone with any knoledge would. people only show the facts to sell what benefits them , i try to look at every once of info
regardless you obviously took it as an attack its not im not going to flex muscles against you or any such bs. i brought a topic i felt was getting out of control up, as people have with politics i post.. i stirred the shit pot that was already brewing story of my life

does anyone know wayfair sells some pond supplies , I sure did not know . My neighbor just got stuff she ordered from them , She requested they be delivered to my house as her and her hubby would be away . GBBUDD THE WHOLE WORLD HAS GONE NUTS . Look at Adams in his speech 10 times he said he was black , he must think we are color blind . Let a white mayor say he is white and all hell would break loose AMERICA IS GONE FREEDOM IS GONE

I haven't but not sure we will make it another 3 years if the corruption does not stop , Went to the flea market yesterday and gas went up again 3.39 now 3.59 at one gas station and all others were 3.89 . Our electric rates sky rocketed because of people who did not pay their electric bills . My bill normally is 130 a month for all electric house but went up to 273 last month and I have a wifi thermostat that shows I used the same amount of electric as last year . I get a print out every month , WELL REALLY I USED A LITTLE LESS. NOTE WITH BILL SAYS RATE INCREASE IS BECAUSE OF LOSES .Wait until summer all these idiots that turn their air conditioners down to 60's even when they aren't home and they brag about it . Mine stays at 75 2.6 stud walls and roxul rockwool insulation works great in my house

I feel your pain @sissy and things for sure have really gone awry! Hope for a reprieve somehow. Hope things get better for the future and our children and theirs so on and so on.

All I can do now is pray

The fish don't give a hoot tho. They are starting to be more active in the pond as of late. One has a big bump on his nose, the one on the far right. Had it on there for years. I will just let him live his life. Poor thing :(

I guess it hasn't been too detrimental to his health considering that he seems to be the same size as the others:)

Our ponds still frozen or should say frozen again. But a warm up is coming, it was 13 this am, going up to 62 tomorrow, almost 70 on Wednesday.

When I lived in the Adirondacks I would dread it when the temperature went above 75 degrees …I am hoping that after living here (FL) awhile I will become less sensitive to the heat.

lol I lived in the desert for years, ie Phoenix. I still dreaded any temps above 80 even with living there for almost 30 years. Here we get hot humid and miserable.

Well that's not encouraging...I haven't noticed a big difference in heat between living in Virginia and here in Florida...Both hot and humid...I do get a lot of air movement here though most of the year. In Virginia it felt like a wet blanket when I went outside...

Not sure where you lived in Virginia but I have been here since 2004 and it gets extremely dry in August and hot . I live 25 minutes from the NC border in the center of the state . What I hate is the horrible clay soil . Now I know why NJ was the garden state GREAT SOIL THERE . GAS WENT UP AGAIN . I had to go to the gas station and the dump . We will soon hit 4 dollars a gallon .Gosh I would love garbage pick up . But I did find 3 treasures at the dump and darn 4th one I could not reach. My pond this winter has only had ice in the waterfall pond

I was in Charlottesville and it was very humid...and yes, I don't miss the red clay soil either. Beautiful state though:)
