Just might have found the king of the "reply all". A guy just responded all to an email that included a list serv that easily has hundreds if not several thousand employees on it.


Maybe other people have the same question...he's probably doing everyone a favor.

Well, praise be & glory hallelujah!!!! Something finally went right for me this month.

Stopped by my dentist before coming in to work; he took a quick look and figured the crown could simply be re-cemented, so he fit me in, fixed my tooth and I'm good to go! Yay!!

Now on to Wednesday. :(

Get in car this morning and the radio starts playing Have a Holly Jolly Christmas. Listen for a couple of songs to see if they have really gone all Christmas. They have and even changed their station call from Cool 108 to Christmas 108.

Oh, hell no, not even T-Day yet. Switched channels and was doing air drum with Phil Collins a few minutes later. Everyone air drums to In the Air Tonight, right?

At the minimum I do drum noises with my mouth. Generally I do both the noises and the air drums.

I don't mind some Christmas music, but I think it should wait until after Thanksgiving is over.

I love Christmas music, when it's good, at least.

DH turned on our tree lights the other day and I made him turn them off. He said they looked really pretty when he drove by at dark though.

This happened where I work once and they had to take the whole email system off line because it was causing so many replies.

I don't dislike Christmas music. If I am road tripping 5 hours to Iowa during Christmas week it’s what I want to listen to. I just don't get why a station would go 100% Christmas music before Thanksgiving turkey is even put out to thaw.

In the same vein I don't get why some of the holiday music that is "wintery" and not 100% Christmas or religious immediately disappears from the airways on December 26. Seems to me some of the seasonal music is still relevant when it’s snow, cold and dark in January and February.

I love Christmas music but feel it should wait until Thanksgiving and can be played until New Year's. I do listen to it pretty much non-stop between those dates.

Do I have to be here to translate for you guys 24/7? CG was simply saying:

If the Twin Cities dodges the snow that is just a possibility on Thanksgiving this year will be just the third time since they started keeping weather records that we haven't had a measurable snowfall before the start of December.

even CG doesn't know what CG was doing there. It's possible it was never meant to be a PM but was just crap that got typed while I tried to get out of the PM pop-up on my phone. I remember the evening pretty well but that part isn't ringing a bell. Though looking at the time I sent it, that was pretty close to bad times. It's possible that I meant to say something about sending a Cash type PM, but none of the words look like that, hahaha. Autocorrect is impeding me here. I'd like to see what I actually wrote!

Well, Jacques Cousteau was mentioned in the conversation, so I gave you the benefit of the doubt that was a word you actually meant.

no, turtles were not on my mind. Did I say anything about sending PM's to Cash in the thread? I think that's what I was going for, trying to tell you that you were getting the drunk PM this time instead of Cash.

Not that I recall. Most of your posts were about the games you were playing and how fun shots were. And one post about your dishwasher.
