Andi,
I'll take snow any day rather than Florida "showers". We arrived in Tampa on June 24, 1964 and an afternoon "shower" rolled in. I swore that if it weren't a hurricane I would not stay around when one came. One did the next year but it was nothing. At least not compared to that first afternoon "shower".
Love & hugs,
Marlys

Bill, I knew it was too good to be true. No *blame it all on Bill* thread. Got it. Never mind...
Maryls, Thanks for some respect for Fla storms. (Even midst your sleet and icy streets and roadways.) Appreciated.
Back to Bill! Are you not familiar w/the word tornado? Not a wind. A devastating whirlwind of destruction. I know. Not your fault. Not blaming you. Just splaining about the forces of nature. An actual death toll and all.
Yes, I already know you're sorry you belittled Florida's weather issues. Thanks. I knew you didn't mean it. Just funnin'... Me too... Should we take up a collection for a winter coat for you? Guess not. SPRING IS ALMOST HERE!  Have a happy day!
Andi

Thanks, Andi, but I don't need any more winter coats, just the common sense to wear one, haha! If you want to start a "Blame it on Bill" thread, I guess I can't stop you. I've been butting heads with this roomfull of strong-willed warrior women for months now, and I'm starting to realize that I'm outmatched. But I will never give in!

NEVER GIVE IN. NEVER GIVE UP. Good for you, Bill! That's what we all love about you.
We're each suffering to varying degrees for different reasons. But we keep our heads high along with our Spirits. I can tell you've got a smile on your face that you generously share with all of us. That qualifies you to be called an Angel!
And put some boots on if you venture into the snow, for goodness sake!

Thanks, Andi, Winston Churchill and I share a common Birthday "Never give in! Never give in! Never,never,never,never- in nothing great or small, large or petty- never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense." But, please, I'm no angel. I've been called alot of things, but "angelic" has never been one of them, hahaha. Love ya! Bill

Bill:
You owe me an apology for leaving me and grandma to rot in that Canadian hell hole smugglers prison for a year and a half when you could of just taken the beer out of the trunk of the Cadillac Coupe de'Ville, sold it, and bailed us out with the money. But did you? No you didn't. You were too occupied trying to perfect that damn cupcake tree. Okay Mr. Smartypants, where are my cupcakes?

I don't know if Bill is going to apologize
to you Lee. The first post in this thread is Bill's blanket apology
for everything he's done and will ever do.
Maybe he'll see this as something "special" and say he's sorry,
but I don't think he's truly sorry so it will be a shallow apology.
That's what I think, anyway.
