Poor George!


As the snow continues to fall, the maintenance crew is hard at work in the City of Tonawanda shoveling us out. Or Maybe Santa Claus is coming early this year. Stay Warm, Dry, and Safe friends and family of the Holtz family blog.
Back to my wii.

ditto, poor george!!!
What a snow fall, ehh folks!
So I have made my way to tops and dollar general, so I think we are set for the day!
Talked to my mom, she was feeling a little under the weather, but needed nothing, so I am sure she too will weather this storm, she was suppose to go to a quilting bee with my sister today, but I saw on the chanell 2 crawler it was cancelled. So as I was perusing the internet news, I noticed a story about a guy who built a house out of beer cans, which struck me as real news, which of course sends me back to Darrren McGavin and his comment about real news! sigh, may we all be able to find the "real news" today!
enjoy your day all!!!

Uncle George ??? Are you sure? That looks like Nanook who just got back from chain gang camp from the artic. Poor guy.

UG are you OK? You take care of yourself. you are the only one who hasn't tried to take advantage of me in fantasy bball trades, just because I am the oldest. Got sleet here now which I guess is good because it doesn't mount up as fast as snow

Anonymous said...

UC, Take advantage of you in a trade? I'm insulted, I offered you a respectable retread who once won back to back MVP's (in the 90's)and is currntly in a quiet secluded area of Shady Acres Resort & Spa for a future HOF'er, 4 category stud (- the SB's). I just figured you were more into nostalgia than winning this thing. My mistake. Consider my current trade offer (where I give up/sacrafice Butch Hobson and Bernie Carbo for your Justin Morneau off the board)... and I thought I was helping you. Sheesh...

And to think that a month ago I actually considered not getting my sno-blower fixed. Every now and then I stumble into a good decision. What happened to the fixxitts computer gambit???

Anonymous said...

The latest word on the Fixxits is they are reading the blog (???), but can't figure out their e-mail. I'll have to make a visit tomorrow.

What a day today... gorgeous sun, brrrrr cold, and the kids played outised all day today. Hopefully they'll sleep well tonight.

Happy Monday, to a very snowy and non plowed east side!
The fixxitts are reading the blog, what year are they on??
But can not figure out their email?
Mr fixxitt who could rebuild a transmission using popsicle sticks and florist wire, but the internet is beyond his reach???
I am confident the fixxitts will master and conquer the WWW.
Enjoy this snowy monday, can you believe easter is in less than 2 weeks????

jll more details on alton brown please. I have a big crush.

Big weekend here in the ATL -- atlanta motor speedway and the black crowes concert. Now I can go back to sitting on the couch as my social engagements for 2008 are fulfilled.

Anonymous said...

KDH you are in luck! He lives in Atlanta!!!! But he is married to his second wife. So no doubt you could be his lucky number 3!
His favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip and he can't live without his electric tea kettle.
He put on a great show and was very entertaining!

alton brown... is he the guy who does that show on Food network. About making the ultimate pbj sandwiches? you really have a crush? that's weird. I have a man crush on bear grylls.

What's a bear gryll???

LOL Jll, very funny, tea kettle... who can?

Yankee trip is getting closer to fruition. I can feel it. I think we're off to see the Lehigh Valley Ironpigs... UC, Lehigh Valley's inaugaral AAA season... you can't miss that.

anywhooo
nphw and I hard at work to put togother the ultimate Yankee excursion! We have had some bumps in the road, but hey what great journey does not start with a misstep or two!
So client 9, aka elliott spitzer's favorite call girl is "kristin, kristen" I have seen it spelled both ways...making 4300$ a session do you think she cares if they misspell her name.
Iron Pigs, what a great name!
What is a bear gryll?
enjoy the next part of your day, it is sure to get better!
pinky swear!

Doesn't anyone watch Man vs Wild??? Bear Grylls is the host of the show. He goes around squeezing water out of animal poop and skins camels to use their fur as a blanket.

sighhhh, I am so proud of my baby girl!
There is no end to her wealth of knowledge! Thanks cookie, for the Bear Grylls update, I will now look for him.
I did not know you could squeeze drinking water out of poop??
Now thats real news!

Nice Antie B -- the KDHRC secret is out now! ;)

I love Bear Grylls! Especially when he jumps out of airplanes and eats snakes. I think he slept inside a dead camel once too. I'm not saying he'd smell good once he got home, I'm just saying ....

Anonymous said...

Crud! I watch that show too... I had no idea that was his name. The other day he made a cave out of frozen snow and drank leftover moose meat with pine needles and willow branches (Sandra had to correct me). He said it helped his headache.

GO IRONPIGS!!!

For the first time, in a very long time, all of the Bear Gryls stuff has left me speechless. Color me old, but if I had $4300 laying around, I know what I wouldn't spend it on.

Ironpigs???

Anonymous said...

I have no clue about that show, but it certainly perked my interest.

So, Gov Spitzer...... I just have to bring it up since the latest news is he spent up to $80,000 and this has been ongoing since 2002.

Looks like the next Gov of NY is going to be legally blind.

I am also going on record to say that I was not one of the 69% NY voters who voted for him.

I voted for the lawyer who spied on her husband.

50 years ago today, MLB made it mandatory to wear a helmut. I think we all should wear helmuts!

Anonymous said...

I wear a helmet at work everyday. You never know when some crazy woman is going to walk into your office with a shovel and threaten you. You have to take precautions in the workplace. And it starts with wearing a helmet. Next... a visor. But, I'm old school, so that might be tough.

Anonymous said...

So now JT has admitted to wearing both a helmet and a hockey neck protector in the work place. Is there any other specialized items of apparrel that he is wearing that we don't know about? I have always favored the codspiece, but find it uncomfortable.

I do wear something else but I'm embarrassed to say publicly. Let's just say they keep my mid-section firm and I look better in my dress slacks with them on. The downside, I have to plan my trips to the lil' men's room.

Well here it is thursday and I am very glad for that! On my Derek Jeter Yankee Calandar, he is set and ready to go!
Now our journey we have run into a bit of a snag! I was reminded by my daughter, that we probably should have gotten our yankee tickets first and then planned our iron pig excursion, as getting 8 yankee tickets has been a bit of a problem. But I am thinking austin, zach and emma can sit by themselves, right??? In the bleachers, thats OK isnt it?
IRONPIG Factoid: Other names considered for this new franchise, were: Phanatics, Gobblers, Keystones( I kind of like that one)

Just talked to my sister, she is trying to add blog comments to our page and Olivers, but she says she keeps getting denied??? Do we have a fixxit block?

Anonymous said...

I think that the fixxitt's oldest son needs to spend less time worrying about what he is wearing and more time sitting with mom and dad and walking them thru these various computer/related activities. 8 tickets together at yankee stadium?? It's nice to know where all of the wealth in the family is located. I still haven't paid off the 3 I bought up in nosebleed heaven 2 years ago.

Hi, everyone... we're here... I think.

I fought through an excruciating headache at the fixxits tonight and got them a few steps closer to the cyber world. I showed them a few fancy moves (Mr. Fixxit wanted to know how to get to the Emperor Club)and showed them how to compose an e-mail. Also they have a copier/printer (Mr. Fixxit is completely enammered with his hindside). I guess that's where I get it from... who thought.

Very excited about the Yankee tickets.

IRONPIGS!!!

Yea!!!! another family added, how exciting!
YES we are all very excited about the Yankee tickets, and of course,

Get the fixxitts up and running on their email. I am very desperate to get my address book up to 8 so I can break my bad luck!
JUST an FYI, mrs fixxitt will correct your spelling and she is not very nice when she does it!

so my sister calls me today at work, and normally we dont talk very much, especially during work hours, I try to limit my personal phone calls, unless my nephew and I are planning a dream trip, then that is another story. But anywhoo she calls to thank me for the email I sent her and her hubby. Are we suppose to thank email senders for emails??? If so, I have been remiss for years, so let me make it up to one and all, I would like to thank each and everyperson that ever sent me an email, I laughed I cried, I prayed, I got rich, I got poor, I looked for lost children, I forwarded but never deleted (: well maybe once or twice, I acknowledged my sisters during sister week, best friend week, etc, phew I thnk that covers it!

So the fixxitts claimed to be "here" and then disappeared. What's with that? I am trying to get Crystal on waivers. He's better than most of what I have. So if Matt Damon shows up in a sox uni, are we all going to be excited? Yea Friday and St. Patty's. Must be the Downey in me. I plan on a "harp or two" over the weekend before it's ......I don't even want to think about monday. Enjoy all. If you guys go to the iron pigs, that's another team and stadium that i am behind.

Auntie B's observations regarding my newly discovered love of weekends is right on target. I have re-embraced Friday nite as the best part of the week. Glad to hear that Sis is taking care of the perm responsibility. I know that Mom was concerned about it. I have to see about getting over there this week. is it true that Niagara hose is making chowder? To paraphrase my nphw, mmmmmmmmhhh, CHOWDER! Enjoy all

Anonymous said...

I love chowder... and Gratwick Hose may be up this weekend (ya know, they take turns in NT... good folk, good folk).

I too would like to thank everyone who has sent me an e-mail in the past, except for the DNC looking for support and $.

Zachary did very well at baseball tryouts this AM, I was very proud of him. I hope a nice coach drafts him.

Early looksies at a big van to NYC has it at $520 for the timeframe we need it (Budget). That is too much $ for this American on a budget.

Home sick with the "bug". Just checking in to see if there is any word from KDH?

KDHRC is all ok, though there was massive destruction not more than 3/4 of a mile from here. I was away when it happened, and was a little nervous to see what there was to see when I got home... but all is well. Phew!

So glad to hear KDHRC is still operating. I can only imagine.

Thanks to webcam for dropping in.

As of 1pm tomorrow, we will have a new governor.

Enjoy your Sunday.

Glad to hear your safe and sound KDH we were wooried about you (and definitely had our prayers). That had to be pretty freaky when you returned and saw the damage. They say that weather is a game of inches, oh wait, that's bowling or or curling or something... Nevermind.

Have a great day. One more week and I'm wearing pink.

Sounds like all is well on all fronts, except, still nothing from the fixxits and waiting for an update on the trip with gg for the perm. Auntie and I made a brief trip to the Racino in Hamburg yesterday to hear the blarney bunch play and have a few guiness'. after 2 or 3 renditions of the unicorn song, we had enuf. That's it for st. patty's for us. sorry to hear nc jnn is under the weather and glad to hear that gr-nphw Zack has baseball season officially under way. Have a good sunday all because we all know what tomorrow brings

Anonymous said...

Congratulations Zach on your good tryouts, your dad will tell you major league draft day rates right up there with opening day!
520$!!! mmm I am quessing that will be a no. We will either all fit in one, or take two! Maybe two is the way to go that way we can change seats if we wish... For example, Jenna, Sandra, Emma and I can all go in one car and follow you boys! Or we can give all the kids to Jenna, and all adults ride in one car, mmm I think I am on to something!
KDH, many rosaries were said that you were OK, thank goodness you were out of harms way! But you know you have a guardian angel!
Nephew Jff, in Pink! Aunt Clara is always so thoughtful
The Perm, let me just say that the first words out of her mouth are always they cut it tooo short! And can you run into wilson farms and get me some scratch offs.
Thanks for the hug webcam, you can never have enough hugs!
