Message: <blockquote data-quote="DallasFanForever" data-source="post: 349917" data-attributes="member: 13221">Thank you Lashes! And I wish the same for you and your family in 2023. Nothing but good health and happiness!! I hope your winter hasn’t been too bad with the snow so far? As you saw, our country had a huge storm right before Christmas. All of my relatives are fine and accounted for and I appreciate you asking my friend! Of course, this is the time of year CFF gets a lot of hate because of his weather down in Florida but they know I’m with them in spirit watching on the weather channel and worrying about them the entire time. I love them too but I think next year I’m going to go out and buy a big one. That’s the only thing I would do differently this season. There’s nothing like when I go to a house while I’m working and they open that front door and I get a whiff of that “real tree smell.” To me, that’s Christmas. Thank you! I have to say I’ve been lucky with dogs over the years. I’ve been chased a few times but the only scary incident was last year with a Dalmatian that apparently thought I was his lunch but the owner pulled him off of me before any damage was done. She felt terrible but I actually felt bad for the dog when they yelled at him. No harm done though. On to the next stop LOL!!Yes, that’s what they look like but I have to say that I’ve never seen one that big! The ones I’ve seen here are actually quite smaller. Thank goodness! Yes, they are cute to be honest. I’m not sure if they travel in gangs though. And they look harmless to me but I’m not sure if they really are. I guess I should look them up as well. I go to one farmhouse that has one lurking but I always see him, or her, wagging it’s tail. I’m guessing that’s a good sign. But I notice that they keep him fenced in and I don’t really go near him just in case. I go to another house where one is running around loose sometimes so I guess I should learn more about them before I go back there again. Let’s face it Lashes, googling them while you’re trying to run away is probably not the best time. I appreciate you saying this! My goal was to start my diet January 1 but somehow it got started in August, and in retrospect that was a wise decision. I can’t describe how it feels to lose all that weight. Forget how I look, I feel like a new person and that was what I hadn’t counted on. I haven’t had this much energy in a long time and I’m afraid I’m becoming quite annoying to everyone around me but hey, that’s their problem. I’d love to hear this sometime my friend! I can tell just by what you already said that it’s obviously very special to you. I’m not sure which Christmas song is my favorite to be honest but if I had to pick one it would be Hark the Herald Angels Sing. I’ve always thought it was a beautiful song yet it also has the capacity to make CFF a little weepy. Still, when I hear it, I have to listen to it. It’s hard to explain. It was a very nice Christmas! I showed up Christmas Eve again this year and spent it with my family. We ate and talked and ate and laughed and ate some more. And of course the best part was my niece was there. It’s not Christmas without her. Then Christmas Day I was invited over her parents house so I got to terrorize her two days in a row. And there we were sitting on the floor and she’s showing me these things she bought at Disney World that she clips onto her shoes for decorative purposes and I’m trying to follow along like a good uncle but struggling to understand it all. But then it hit me; we were sitting on this same floor 13 years ago and playing with toys and dolls and stuffed animals and coloring together. That’s all changed  now obviously but the feelings don’t go away, do they? So here was Uncle CFF feeling sad quite often this past year that his baby grew up into a mature young woman and didn’t have as much time for him but those feelings all went away Christmas Day. I realized I was an idiot for ever thinking those things. Oh, if this kid ever joins Telly Talk someday Lashes! I’m a dead man. Hopefully by then they have a way to delete all your previous posts. Well, work was quite unusual this Christmas. The storms that hit most of the country changed everything. Millions of packages never even made it due to the flight cancellations. December 23 I had 81 stops. I was supposed to have 150. Christmas Eve I was supposed to have 150 more. I had 8. Do you see a pattern here Lashes? We all went home 12:30 in the afternoon Christmas Eve. There was just nothing to deliver. It was an easy Christmas but of course this week it all caught up. KABOOM. This week was our Christmas. So many people were disappointed that their packages were so late but everyone was very understanding. People die in these storms and you try to remember that first and foremost. Still, I felt bad for a lot of the customers. I was delivering food all week that was ordered before the holiday and was spoiled. It was quite sad hearing them say they had to probably throw all that food out once they opened it. What can I say to that? You don’t know how much I appreciate you both saying that. You helped this deathly shy person come a long way LOLYou’re welcome! I’m glad my words can do that. I’ve always felt our words are so important to helping one another when we need it. You know, I didn’t join this site for any other reason than to talk about Dallas. That was the only reason at the time. But once I got settled I realized that there was so much more to this site than TV shows. And many a day the words of you and many others helped me get through some stretches. I hope you enjoyed your Christmas my friend and Happy New Year to you and to everyone else reading this!!</blockquote>
