NEwxguy's WunderBlog

Heya NEw, game had me on the edge of my seat. BEP were exactly what you said...but I liked it. People were slamming the show as horrible though. I liked the Crysler commercials. Can't think of all the others, but really enjoyed the whole thing.

Well I'd take your 40. We won't see it out of the 20's and then go into deep freeze again. I have to go pound a sign into the ground right now and it may bend I think...this will be interesting. Hope your week is off to a good start. At least your wx looks to be cooperative. Have a good one.

Good morning NEW...I love that commercial too. I wonder what the little kid thinks at the end...LOL

A good start to the day, temps are above freezing and the snow is melting. Not looking forward to the next few days though when temps drop down into the teens again for a daytime high. Sure glad I have no real need to go out of the house for a while anyway.

Hope all is good down your way and that the weather is holding up for you too. Nice to see temps again above freezing.

Good Late Morning to Ya, NEw ~

Truthfully, I didn't watch much of the Superbowl yesterday, but I was one of those who truly enjoyed the half-time show w/BEP's and Usher. I think the participants dancing in the field did a tremendous job remaining synchronized. Fortunately, I missed Christina Aguilera's botched up anthem mess. Happy that the Packers won, though, as I'm not a fan of Ben Roethlisberger for most obvious reasons.

At least, Tom Brady and Bill Belichik received MVP and Coach for this past season's overall performance. It remains questionable whether we'll be cheering them or any team on come fall with the proposed lockout due in March. Imagine a year without football?

I'm so thankful that our roof is continuing to hold its own nicely and that, at least, Thursday's threatening storm looks to be out to sea. Seriously, my prayers are answered there and hope we all make it safely through the week!

Hope you'll continue to pace yourself out there, as you have an awful lot of stressful events going on right now. I read on Jus's blog, where you've been trying to clear out 50 yrs of artifacts from your mother-in-law's home along with everything else!! You must have one heck of a strong constitution!!

Hard to believe that Valentines Day is one week away and that half of February will be gone as well! This is one year where I don't mind our winter season to be dissolving relatively soon! I'm definitely ready to embrace daylight savings, SPRING and to hear a Red Sox ump clearly yell, "PLAY BALL!"

On the anthem: I always wonder why these people invited to sing it can't just SING it, why instead they have to turn it into some kind of pop song. When I was a kid the anthem was always played at the beginning of events, and everybody sang along since we had learned it in school. I sure am dating myself! Thought the game itself was fun to watch, a whole lot better than that horrible, embarrassing Pats game...!

Thrilled with no snow in THREE DAYS, hurray!

Hi SheslookingUP!

How are you faring since last Friday? Did everything go alright with your daughter's discharge and transportation into your residence? Hope that you both manage to overcome whatever obstacles are thrown your way and that, at the very least, snow removal crews make it to your neck of the woods in the VERY NEAR FUTURE! May much better times be ahead!

Quoting NEwxguy:
A local couple is beaming after delivering a big bundle of joy at Holy Family Hospital.

The baby is a healthy one, but there's just one problem: his clothes are too small. Meet Johnathan Patrick, just days old, coming into the world on Feb. 3, weighing a whopping 13 pounds. 13.26 pounds to be exact.

We do it up big here in the "City known as the Town of Methuen!" LOL!!!! Holy Family is our local hospital and, quite truthfully, when Caritas Christy took it over, became one of the best around in ER care. I only wish they hadn't let go of their Neurological Trauma Unit. Now, one has to be transferred to Mass. General for surgeries, strokes, etc. SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS, especially, when Lawrence General is only a mile away and now has one of the best neurological teams available locally as well as nationwide! Makes a big difference when time is of the essence!

Oh NEw, that jack hammer would have come in handy! The snow is the only thing supporting the sign and it will probably fall down in a good breeze. But agents will at least see it for showing appts. today.

13 lbs! Sign him up for the offensive line of the Pats!

Wendy's Chili coma...I need a nap. Why do I do this to myself on the road at lunchtime? Least it wasn't gas station chili...THAT was a lesson learned!
