Wow... now this is just what I will be doing later today!
You all have a blessed Sunday!
Sunny and 33F here in Pure Michigan right now. The SUN makes the cold temps tolerable.
Lee: You made me laugh big time with your "Rapping Box in the corner of your basement". You sure are quick with the witty remarks. Love that in you.
DAVE: You asked just what Amanda's "Life Style" changes would be in your post. Well, what comes to mind with all transplants is taking some type of ANTI-REJECTION Meds for the rest of your life. Now, don't quote me on that..... you know I'm still waiting on getting my Cyber Dr's license!
Lee: How nice that the "Girls" are off spending your money at the Christmas Market! Is that Market in A'Burg or Windsor? Nice that it's a sunny day even though it's COLD outside for walking around.
FYI: Here's some USELESS Information. Skip along if you're in a hurry! 
I just called Express Scripts and ordered 5 REFILLS for some of the med's I take. Our wonderful insurance policy is CHANGING prescription companies and we were warned to order anything and everything that still has a REFILL available to avoid the craziness that will most likely come on the first of the year for folks needing refills. I totally feel bad for the DOCTORS offices when they get all the calls from people needing NEW PRESCRIPTIONS to give to the new company for items that don't automatically transfer.
I got a letter from Kroger's grocery pharmacy stating they will no longer honor our prescription coverage we now have. I guess the BIG 3 Auto companies found a cheaper company to use for medicines. LORD HELP US! I really liked Express Scripts service. So, I'm good to go for now and don't have to worry until about March. By then hopefully things will be all ironed out with the new carrier.
Negc: With you leaving soon for your cruise and then only being home for such a short amount of time during the actual Christmas week I would have bought a 4 foot tree that you could cover with plastic and put in a corner of a closet for the next time you need it. Can you tell I have a tad of Bah Humbug in me! Enjoy your new tree. I have a 7.5ft tree in a huge box in the basement I could have given you if you lived closer. 
Karen: Any plans on going out to Maryland to see Amanda when she gets home? I know you'd be there in a flash if she needed you. Hope today is a good day for HER and YOU! 
BB: Enjoy those beautiful TEMPS you all are having these days. I envy you big time. Hope you're not working poor Bert too hard with the house cleaning and the oven cleaning. You need to get your Grandson Wes over to do that oven-cleaning and have him make a few bucks. Heck, I bet he could clean your house to your liking with a little helpful instruction and really make a few extra bucks. Never too late to train them.
I'm out of here for now. You all have a good day and stop by and let us know what you did today!
HI THERE BB! Just saw that you posted. Bummer on G&E trying to save a few bucks and getting screwed over by the contractor. Those Steel beams are very pricy. Our next door neighbor had to have a HUGE one put in when he ripped out a main wall between the kitchen and family room to get the "OPEN CONCEPT" look. They had to cut a hole in the floor to get it into the basement! He did mention that they will NEVER BE MOVING after the expense of their remodeling! (not to mention that deck that he has been working on for 5 years) Thank goodness it's finally done!
Enjoy your lunch.
