The group spelled their name Beatles. Teachers in my day (the beatles were the rage when I was in HS) used to use that as a trick question because we wer all so accustomed to seeing theirs as the correct spelling.
I guess they felt dropping one would make the name a bit less eeeezy to forget.

By now, any Beatles left are simply old "Volks" at home.

I was. It was my first--a green one. I worked for a Jewish firm and the fellows in the cutting room called me Schicklegruber because of it. It was all in fun. That was after I graduated from F.I.T. which is my current ride.
I hope we get the predicted rain here. It's drier than a bone.

Finally got on today, had to shut down yesterday because of storms...lots of rain, lightening, & wind.
Had a few small storms w/a little lightening this am, should be okay until around until about 2pm before the next round today...will keep an eye on the radar between puzzles....

We caught the tail end of that storm around 9 pm. Not much rain but the lightening was amazing. I've never seen spider lightening before. I'll bet there were sprites above it, too because some of the lightening was pink.

Oh just love lightening and thunder (NOT) - usually have my head under a pillow when these storms occur. Hope you "weathered" the storms. Hugs catladyokc.

We have been getting straight winds up to 80 w/the winds in these storms, also this is the worst month for Tornados, even though we have had them in every month...I think there were 12 yesterday in the state...plus where we live is between where the 2-F5 have gone thru more we were barely miss by them, & our daughter lost her house in the last one & her daughter was a one of the schools that was destroyed...took several hours before we found her...so I get rather tense about them. She was one of the lucky ones that was not hurt. She was only in 6th grade then.

I don't know how you stand it. So far no tornadoes at all exactly where we are. Once in a few years farm areas around us may get a small one. I mainly worry about winds that could blow my trees over on the neighbor but we've been here 30 years and those trees are twice that old and healthy so...
We looked around Tulsa as a place to retire. Sure glad we never moved. My nerves couldn't handle those threats.

Didn't have a choice; the company hubby worked for moved us here for his job...that was 34 years ago.

Any chance of requesting a transfer to another place? You have been there a long time and he must be a valued employee. How does he feel about the tornadoes? If you like I could pray for that.

No chance of that, he broke his neck in 89, was in hosp. for 1mo. & rehab for 3 mos. They told him he would not walk again, but he did leave rehab on two load churches. He now only uses one now but rides the carts every chance he can, also has a riding lawnmower so he can get around the yard. Our family is here so we need to stay here also to expensive to move just for that.

So sorry about your husband. He seems like a can do person who has made the best of things, tho. That helps. I know what you mean about the expense. I have wanted to move for a long time but never found a place that I liked which wasn't too expensive. Now that I'm 71 the thought of all the stress doesn't seem worth it. Will send a prayer the twisters twist away from you & your family.

Thanks, had a nice evening at daughter's house today it was our youngest granddaughter's 15th birthday. I will be 74 next month...one thing about the storms we have the newest radar & meteorologists in the country and they will stay on until the storms in there viewing area are not longer dangerous.

I agree with Jennifer Yane...When I went to my HS reunion last year, I wanted to wear a picture of my yearbook photo with the comment, "This person is hiding in this body. Please help her find the zipper to this fat suit! " lol!

I was on this site for years. Started having serious health issues in December. In I was prescribed two different pain meds. Some days I just ignore the pain and others I'm in tears. Then I took the car in to be work on. While waiting for the car an employee hands out his hand. He couldn't figure out why I was handing mine out. Then I felt I had to explain - broke my hand a couple years ago. Ended up having surgery to repair it. Ever since using to shake hands causes pain. Then I tried to help people - then people were being xxxx. Even hubby - ugh!

Isn't everyone suppose to be special? Met a woman yesterday who tried to tell me that Bronchitis isn't contagious after I told her that a doctor told it was. Then she tries to tell me I'm not listening I was listening so I walked away lol
It's a very dark, dismal looking day today. A day you just want to curl up and stay warm. Yesterday it was so hot that I turned the air conditioner on and today I feel like I need to turn furnace back on.
God bless all of you. Hope it's a great day full of happiness and love for all of you.
