I hope I can remember next year to tell them that someone thought our get together was creepy. They will appreciate the humor.
For what it's worth Gracie, I didn't find it 'creepy' at all. Remembering and reminiscing about the departed is a wonderful way to spend an evening or night. Good for you.

I hope yours was as pleasant as mine. My grandson was asleep in the basement, and I was upstairs with all the friends I have spend past New Years Eves with. I remembered them, I smiled, and I laughed. So long as I remember them, they are not really dead.
I'm glad yours was good!! :thumbup: You are a sweet gal, and you deserve it!!
Wish mine was as peaceful. We came home from work to a watery nightmare. Our water heater gave up, and what a treat it has been!
LOL!! My surprise birthday party turned into a come help us party! Thank GOD for family, and good friends!

Been there. Came home one night, and have absolutely no idea why I looked in the basement, but water was up to the top of the first step. It was late, so I turned off the electricity to the furnace, washer and dryer, and went to bed. Had 18 inches by morning. That was a fun time???

Your calamity sure beat mine. In fact so did Archies. Mine happened in the spring, so loss of heat was not that big a deal.

What would you use to remove fuel oil? It has to be some type of vacuum doesn't it?

They sucked up what they could into a truck followed by very large absorbent towel type things and finally about a fifty to sixty 50 lb.bags of scented stuff that looked like kitty litter.

What an ordeal!! Did the scented stuff at least smell like chicken, cookies, febreeze, or something?
