I always used skis instead of al-pines because the needles kept getting in my socks.

That's where you learned to be a "needler" --- and we pine for more of your puns!

Lol PW there are two different types of Skiing. Alpine (downhill) and Cross Country. Have done both. Been on ski trips and ski lessons as a kid. One ski trip we had to go home early. Happy New Year.

Of course you are right CA about the 2 kinds of skiing, and that's snow joke.
If anyone is going to try Cross Country skiing, choose a small country to begin with. Yes, I know that a preposition is something you should never end a sentence with.

Oh I knew it was a joke and that you don't end a sentence with a preposition. On pain meds and didn't pick up on it.

Actually they have done away with the preposition ending a sentence, so now it is OK to do so. :) Hugs.

Growing up went skiing one year and we had to come home early. We were on a family ski trip and the 2nd day in my brother ended up with chicken pox. Another time I went skiing and had a bad fall and sprained my knee really badly.

I thought you would get my drift, carolsapple. I know I can bank on your sense of humor

AS, I am glad that they have done away with the rule about prepositions. I am editing a book for a friend of mine to get it ready for publication. I am not sure if I need to skip the last comma in a list: example: He was tall, dark, and handsome. or should it be: He was tall, dark and handsome.

I think I have been out of school too long. It will soon be my 60th High School Reunion. I was going to go, but it is all old people there - except me, of course. Some of them are so old, they don't even recognize me. ;-)

Hahaha PW a few years ago at my ex brother-in-law's funeral, I met an old friend of my sisters and said to her that everyone had grown so old, except me of course. To which she indignantly replied "Oh H, you know that's not true!!! " No sense of humour at all. Hugs.

Yes I get your drift PW and enjoy the humor. Sometimes I feel I've been out of school to long. I've been tested for things that I learned in school and had to think about what I learned.

I had hoped you didn't have to go home early because of fowl weather the year your brother got the chicken pox.

Parson Wayne, you do need that last comma before the "and"

Thank you, rahrah1820. That's the way I would have done it.

My sister went to school with the rich kids. Every break they were going to go Skiing usually out West somewhere. Or they said that they were going to Florida. My sister arrived home one day and asked my father where we were going for a trip. He informed her that we weren't going on a trip. She replies omg whadda am I going to tell my friends lol

Speaking of prepositions, I will never forget the day my wife, Mrs. PW, preposed to me and I said YES!

My grandmother told me the story when she became engaged to my grandfather. She said that evening she knew he was going to propose. She said they sat in the back of a packard. She said he said you're very important to me - before he could finish the rest she answers yes xxx xxxxx I'll marry you.
Purple, a favourite colour. I haven't tried knitting a hat yet but am thinking about it. Just have to find a simple hat and thinking of going a slouch style. Knitting is what I'll more than likely be doing as hubby and I watch TV tonight. Take care all and see you next year!
Good morning all, I hope you are doing well. I wish you all a Happy New Years!!! This is going to be a better year for everyone I pray. I wish I could knit, my mother tried for years to teach me, just couldn't pick it up. I can embroider ( don't think I spelled that right ) really well. Used to do baby quilts with different scenes, framed pictures and just about anything else I could think of. Very relaxing hobby, my Dad used to do it to. Aussie a little bird told me this was going to be a much better year for you and please tell Hazel to try and get her poems published they are excellant. Take care and be safe my " big sister ".
