12:58 am

Another bit of useless knowledge!!

12:58 am

Have a great time, nan

12:58 am

lol

12:58 am

have fun Nan

12:59 am

*out of lurk mode* hello to all, WTG ALL FINISHERS!!!

1:00 am

Hi Rose - good to see you :)

1:01 am

hey liz, can i please have a few degrees of your temperatures. it's freezing down here. :-(

1:02 am

You're welcome to some degrees Rose - but I think you'd prefer us to keep the thunderstorm that we've got right now.

1:02 am

ewww, nah you can keep it there, lol

1:02 am

Read on the news about the huge temp drop in Melbourne.

1:02 am

Something like 15 degrees in 10 minutes!

1:03 am

liz, i am actually getting around with a woolen cardigan on....me....mrs. omg it's hot.

1:04 am

OMG! Yes it is hot!!!!

1:04 am

Poor you :(

1:04 am

i so want to get out into the garden...roses are desperate for their summer pruning.

1:04 am

At least you have roses down there!

1:05 am

yeah, true.

1:05 am

I love flowers (though they don't love me too much) and we don't have many up here. Tree blossom is beautiful in spring though.

1:06 am

Please note, not asking the obvious question - will wait until you're ready to say that you're feeling wonderful ;)

1:07 am

And that wasn't a covert question!!!

1:08 am

Is the q used other than for the 2 words that start with q?

1:09 am

liz, suffice to say, don't hold your breath, dear. still tearing up at the slightest provocation. knee not too bad, will be an interesting appointment next week with surgeon. pain under control, but that is with the use of oxycodone. and i cannot work under the 'influence' of narcotics.

1:09 am

Hello Liz and Rose and everyone else

1:09 am

Hi Pugs :)

1:09 am

{{hugs}} miz pugs. so glad to see you, dear. are you safe? are you okay?

1:09 am

Rose, I realise and understand how p****d off you must feel, so really, unless you want to talk about it, I won't ask.

1:09 am

Except perhaps after you've seen the surgeon.

1:10 am

Pugs - as Rose said!

1:10 am

thanx liz. and the q is only used for those 2 words

1:11 am

Yes Iam fine ----due to the high winds dont know how long I will be able to stay on line for its flickering

1:11 am

did himself come home yet, pugs? and how is sis's BSL today?

1:12 am

sugars have came down some and He is vacationing in the county jail as we speak

1:13 am

hi all

1:13 am

BBS - have just photographed the latest bear in our collection. She (named Winnie after the people who gave her to us) makes me think of you Rose, so I'll send it to you soon.

1:13 am

Hi jbp and Pugs - glad you'll have some peace for a while.

1:13 am

oh, goodie...on both counts. so apart from the storm, you're doing okay. and that is not to belittle what you have to contend with re the storm.

1:13 am

hi jbp

1:14 am

cooee jbp

1:14 am

I wandered off and forgot about this.

1:14 am

yes Im okay and I have myself under better control

1:14 am

peace? i also wandered into the doorframe of this conversation...

1:14 am

ow, cos, how could you forget us? *pouts*

1:15 am

How is everyone else today or evening

1:15 am

oh this movie is distracting. :)

1:15 am

I understand that y'all are dealing with ...um... stuff. So I will just send my hugs {[{[ }]}]

1:16 am

pfft,cos...and you can't multitask?

1:16 am

I forgot how.

1:16 am

oh, jbp, thanx hun. all hugs gratefully accepted. and you dear? how are you doing?

1:17 am

i'm ok. still stressed about not having a job etc.

1:17 am

but i'm working on it

1:18 am

in the larger scheme of things, it's not really a big deal

1:19 am

jbp, tobe unemployed when one needs to be employed is a major thing. you must be going through so much stress, hun.

1:21 am

yeah. there's just so much else going on. it's just, I've been laid off (I'm sorry, part of a 'workforce reduction' as they are calling it) since beginning of October. Have had several interviews, but because of the holidays no one could decide anything until no one was on vacation. So this week will either bring good news, or.,. not so much.

1:21 am

the not knowing makes me nuts (-er)

1:22 am

my inheritance should come through sometime this month. i will be looking at if/when i can retire. this body of mine is worn out.the tendons are all like cheap elastic, just waiting to go 'ping'.

1:22 am

well, don't go 'ping' just yet, please

1:23 am

absolutely, jbp. it is the not knowing...and wondering if at the end of the wait, is there a place for you?

1:23 am

yep, you hit the nail on the head

1:24 am

{{hugs}} just for you, jbp. and prayers for your emotional and physical health to endure.

1:24 am

but hey, i just found the ut 7/36, so it's all good

1:25 am

thanks, and back atcha rose!

1:26 am

yay, you, jbp. a place where we wanna be, hun

1:26 am

indeed

1:28 am

23 to go and think I'll try tomorrow, goodnight all

1:29 am

night flosey

1:29 am

nite flosey!

1:29 am

love and hugs, flosey. hope you sleep and rest well, dear

1:30 am

btw, flosey. love your new icon.so true.

1:30 am

i think this may be one of those grids that kicks my butt before I reach halfway...

1:31 am

nah, jbp. it's not too bad. are you stuck, dear? can i help you over the hump?

1:32 am

yeah, there are multiple humps. don't feel bad./ i'm happy if I get either half way or to nbt... and I'm close on both.

1:32 am

yay, jbp. well done.

1:33 am

how about the lower right i?

1:34 am

i don't believe how well you all do when you're body is screaming for sleep.

1:34 am

jbp, a little bit and it's plural, io4/4, 5/10

1:34 am

well, there is that. the most stressful thing for me is to try and go to bed, and then not fall asleep

1:34 am

ugh.

1:35 am

yeah...i go to bed, sleep a few hours, then toss and turn until it is time for my next lot of pain-killers. i try not to turn my lamp on.

1:36 am

yeah, I get that

1:38 am

got the i... it was such a little thing

1:38 am

i also 'burn'. my fibromyalgia effects my body-temperature control. and my skin burns, so off go the sheet and blankets, off goes the pajama top, and i lie there waiting for everything to cool down enough for me to sleep.

1:39 am

yay, jbp...next???

1:39 am

I can never get over the hump.

1:39 am

well, i haven't been diagnosed with fm, but i do have chronic pain and numbness and whenever I roll over, that wakes me up

1:39 am

I thought as much ruru

1:39 am

roflol...and what are you doing, still awake?

1:39 am

the O on the far left.>

1:40 am

oo4/4

1:40 am

that shall go on my list of words to type before I even look at the grid

1:40 am

along with etna and nene

1:41 am

you know, ruru? i would have thought the hump would have helped you to sleep...lol

1:41 am

oh, wait, I need the top middle i still (dang! thought I was nbt)

1:42 am

plural form of beliefs, is4/5

1:42 am

nm, got it

1:42 am

thanks rose. ;-)

1:42 am

whoot, jbp

1:42 am

well, with 64 left, i'm off like a prom dress.

1:42 am

hope to see y'all tomorrow!!

1:43 am

Crap..I never went to the prom

1:43 am

lolol, jbp. hope you have a good one, dear.xoxox

1:45 am

did you not, ruru?

1:46 am

Nope

1:47 am

Not really my scene in high school

1:47 am

no i am not going to write what i originally wanted to write. rur, was there any reason why you didn't have a prom?

1:47 am

ah, you answered me

1:48 am

proms have only come into being over the last decade here, and the same for debuts.

1:48 am

I was too busy doing other things...

1:49 am

same here. i was totally involved with ballet and music.

1:50 am

oh and tennis. was playing competition tennis also at that time of my life.

1:50 am

Wow. I wish I played tennis earlier in my life

1:51 am

I started at 40.

1:51 am

did you play any sort of sport, ruru?

1:51 am

No I was a hippy and a slacker.

1:52 am

good for you, ruru. it is hard to pick up a new sport when you are older. people look at you and expect you to be able to play .

1:53 am

I got pretty good in tennis till I did my knees in.

1:54 am

hey, nothing wrong with being a hippy...to my memory, it took a lot to do the hippy scene properly.

1:56 am

I got good grades in school but didn't have to work hard at it.

1:59 am

and after school, what then?

1:59 am

I fumbled around a long time in college

2:00 am

did you have any idea where you wanted to go then?

2:00 am

Yes..I really wanted to be a teacher

2:01 am

so what happened?

2:01 am

Wasn't in the cards...for me..I got diverted into the wine biz...

2:03 am

and so what is stopping you from being a teacher now? in the wine culture? you know lots, and people will pay lots to learn how to know a good wine.

2:04 am

I did get to teach wine courses for 11 years. I loved it.

2:06 am

Work is now in the way. ..maybe later in life.

2:06 am

and now? why not now?

2:06 am

yeah, i get you, mate. life sometimes sucks.

2:07 am

I don't have the freedoms I used to have

2:10 am

yup, i know, mate. maybe later??

2:10 am

I hope so.

2:11 am

After travel.

2:11 am

me too, for your sake...absolutely...you have to come and visit don and i

2:13 am

I will have to how my life goes in the next few years

2:16 am

I better get to bed

2:16 am

Nite

2:16 am

yeah, mate. hope you have a good rest.

2:26 am

pugs, jbp, you still here?

2:26 am

nope, jbp has gone

2:28 am

Hi again :)

2:28 am

Hello, Dianne. Hope you too are well and smiling

2:42 am

I'm doing o.k. Chill in the air, warm in the house, food in the fridge - so what can be bad?

2:45 am

Your attitude is one I need to do a better job of emulating

2:46 am

Well, there are plenty of folks worrying about the warmth and the food so I am one of the lucky ones :)

4:08 am

4:10 am

Ahh thank you...to do with poetry i think.

4:33 am

hello everyone

4:34 am

Hello, Annie :-)

4:34 am

hello there, zooz

4:35 am

Is it still mega cold there, Annie?

4:36 am

tomorrow and Wednesday, mega cold is predocted. today cold but not brutal

4:37 am

Oh dear..i do hope you keep well wraped up when going out..Brrr

4:37 am

*predicted

4:38 am

zooz, I do. Putting the seat belt on is a chore

4:38 am

and Im not heavy

4:40 am

haha yes i can imagine..not nice being bungled up with all those extra layers and thick gloves.

4:42 am

I cannot wait until spring but we have Jan. Feb and March to contend with. I feel for the folks in the Midwest, their temps are below zero. Poor o-o, he probably gave up lounging in his hammock

4:44 am

Yes not nice way up north i am sure..i do not know how people can live in such cold conditions...I suppose you get used to it...but when you do not expect such harsh conditions i think it is even tougher...as you are not that prepared for it...body wise.

4:46 am

this is has been an especially brutal winter so far. People manage. I heard on the TV that police and agencies are looking for homeless people and bringing them into shelterss for food and warmth.

4:49 am

Yes i saw that too...then they showed you some people sitting on these big wire meshes with lots of steam coming up from the ground.

4:50 am

I am very grateful for my home, food in the fridge. I am going out later.. The only thing that bothers me is ice on the streets.

4:50 am

Damn i have no milk left..popping out to the local shop to get some milk..bbs

4:50 am

take care

5:05 am

And back...great having a shop just across the road.

5:06 am

Yes i agree...ice is the worst thing to have on the paths..so dangerous.

5:07 am

16 reported deaths

5:08 am

o-o that is awful. Is your place warm? Are you okay?

5:08 am

Hello, o-o, thats not good..is that where you live or other parts of USA?

5:10 am

I am fine ... worse on east coast because of snowfall ... we have wind and very cold wind chills but little snow

5:11 am

we have snow warning, windchill warnin,high wind warning and freezing rain warning...oh what a glorious day!

5:12 am

Today Mostly sunny and cold, with a high near -19. Wind chill values as low as -58. West northwest wind 13 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Tonight Partly cloudy, with a temperature falling to near -23 by 8pm, then rising to around -12 during the remainder of the night. Wind chill values as low as -45. West wind 6 to 11 mph.

5:12 am

What fun! ivesy...be careful when you are driving

5:12 am

Gosh i do hope this nasty nasty cold weather abates soon for you guys..i realy do.

5:12 am

Seems like terrific weather for staying home and baking lots - brrr

5:13 am

o-o----If you dont have to go out today, Dont! Dangerous weather.

5:13 am

yes i will...ty.. this cold weather really beats up a car too..glad i have triple a just in case

5:13 am

Hi Zooz - you are not being effected by the UK gales/floods?

5:13 am

And hello, Ivesy & Lynxxx :-)

5:14 am

hi lynxxx

5:14 am

and oh yes hello....

5:14 am

hi Annie

5:15 am

Well there are roads here that are flooded and some roads here have also diappeared down big sink holes..but apart from that i am fine where i am, Lynxxx...and today it is 11.3c.

5:17 am

I stay positive and keep om mind only 353 days until Christmas

5:18 am

lol yes is it that close to Christmas already :-)

5:21 am

I had hoped the grid would be larger

5:22 am

Oh i am so with you on that one..i love large grids.

5:24 am

I would of loved it if bable was like the iron sudoku where you can complete old sudokus...so when you have tiny grids like today ...you could always go and do another one from the past that you may not of done before.

5:24 am

I talked to a driver from Dallas yesterday ... first trip up north in winter ... said I am crazy to live here. Had to smile ... he looked miserable

5:25 am

Yes if you are not used to extreme cold conditions i am sure it will be tough.

5:25 am

do you like Winter there o=o?

5:28 am

Has been my home all my life ... the winters have been mild for several years ... I know I have to be cautious, dress appropriately, etc. ... the winter I spent in vietnam was more of shock .... monsoons

5:32 am

I haven't been that far north but I remember my first visit to Northern Queensland in November- couldn't believe the humidity. We have a very mild climate down here. Not sure how I would cope with your cold although I do like colder weather

5:32 am

I was at the Brookyn Museum Saturday and they had an exhibit of war photography. There was a picture of a wounded soldier sitting and covered in mud with a glazed eyes. The medic trying to help him had a desperate look on his face. It was shattering. I used to write to Dean Rusk all the time to stop this damn war that we had no business being involved in. I also marched. Pres. Johnson finally caved but so many lives were damaged.

5:37 am

Nixon's peace with honor accounted for more than 5000 dead ... despite what anyone says ... the troops are treated similarly to tanks and jeeps ... commodities to be used, abuse and tossed aside

5:38 am

yes, I agree

5:38 am

the stop loss program in my view is criminal

5:39 am

I just checked on conscription for both our countries...seems it was to provide additional fodder for Vietnam and both countries stopped about the same time

5:40 am

Nixon's machinations caused loss of life for allies too

5:43 am

I have to make a phone call at 7AM to Social Security for Bobby. I have to get all the info ready. see you guys later.

5:43 am

must go to the gendarmerie. husband's wallet, with ALL his papers Inside, was stolen at the supermarket on Saturday.

6:09 am

He is definitely a target now

6:09 am

Oh, Ruby. What a mess. So sorry.

6:09 am

oh no! def stolen? or perhaps lost

6:09 am

he even had his SS card! Who knew?

6:10 am

what do you mean a target? has it happened before?

6:10 am

He had his residency card, driver's license, insurance card for the car, Amex card as well. What a mess!

6:10 am

I think if he's just dropped it, someone would have turned it in

6:10 am

Yes it has. He's old and oblivious to his surroundings.

6:12 am

I have no idea what to do about his SS card, but it leaves him open to identity theft and I probably have to re-pply for the residency card, which took 3 months in 2012

6:12 am

More problems for you to deal with - I am sorry

6:12 am

This is the 3rd time something similar has happened plus all the times he has just "lost" it in the car or in a pocket

6:12 am

good morning everyone from the great white north!:)) foot and a half of snow last night and a fresh blizzard today will dump yet another foot and a half!

6:13 am

I am feeling a little bit desperate

6:13 am

Maybe it is time for him to stop driving/doing the shopping?

hi Cross

6:13 am

howdy lynxx

6:13 am

I'm sure it is, but taking away his keys and his few remaining chores will break him, I fear

6:14 am

Maybe the gendarmerie can help you sort it all out.

6:14 am

Good Morning, Mr. White Hair.

6:14 am

Maybe you could use the theft as the excuse. Perhaps say that the gendarmes will not let him drive without his licence

6:14 am

of course the fact of it's all being in French and his being deaf, make it all the more difficult

6:15 am

and I have no idea where to start with his SS card which was issued in about 1938!

6:15 am

I am sorry to ready about your troubles, ruby;(

6:15 am

You willl hae to contact SSA.

6:15 am

6:15 am

You do mean Social Security and not a german SS card don't you?!

6:18 am

tbh, puglet, I am loving it!! though I cannot snowshoe too well in a blizzard

6:19 am

our next two days are supposed to be the worst.sigh

6:19 am

and the jeep is fine but when you cannot see where the road ends and the farmer field begins, it is pretty much over as well

6:19 am

I was just going to ask you Ivesy, how it was there

6:20 am

this system seems to be massive and we are sharing it with our American friends

6:20 am

today windy with freezing rain..supposed to get very cold, snow and such starting late this afternoon.

6:20 am

Must feed the beasts...

6:20 am

ty crossy ! lol

6:20 am

bye bea

6:21 am

are you getting this mess pugs?

6:21 am

My tank does not need a road .... but I do not get far with price of gas.

6:21 am

by the time we see daylight tomorrow morning, we will have had just about 4 feet of snow in 36 hours

6:21 am

gas is dirt cheap in the states, what you paying a gallon o-o?

6:22 am

2.99

6:22 am

we lucked out---we got mostly rain and little snow but its very windy with the wind chill 40-50 below and its to be about the same tomorrow

6:22 am

lol..I am paying $1.30 a litre or about $5.20 a gallon

6:22 am

1.60 a litre here

6:22 am

wow OO---ours was 3.48

6:23 am

still cheap, puglet

6:23 am

our universal health care does not feed itself lol

6:24 am

as I recall with the u.s gallon it is 3.78 litres and with the old Canadian gallon it is 4.11 litres

6:25 am

has it warmed up any there OO

6:25 am

$2.99 a gallon..sigh... we would be lined up for miles to get gas for that price

6:26 am

do canadians drive over the border for it?

6:26 am

now and then ... depending on wind gusts

6:26 am

how far are you Crossy from the border

6:26 am

but it is all relative. my uncle in London is paying the equiv. of $2,00 a litre for deisel

6:26 am

3 hours, puglet

6:27 am

carlee lives in sarnia and goes over all the time

6:27 am

guess thats a bit far to drive for a fill up--lol

6:28 am

it is indeed

6:28 am

its good to see you are still safe though OO

6:28 am

even if I were on the border though, I do not think I would wish to spend half an hour clearing customs just sitting there idiling in a line up. the savings would be lost

6:29 am

as well as my time

6:29 am

I only go out to check if it is cold

6:29 am

it is cold. you can stay in now

6:30 am

wonder what Three Dog Night would think?

6:30 am

a breath or two of fresh air is good for you though

6:31 am

they would rename the band four dog night

6:32 am

just opened a window for a quick breath, could not even see the road 10 feet away from my window

6:33 am

I can't see anything either

6:33 am

may I ask, just what is the plural for the large horn animal thats in this grid? Is there not one?

6:33 am

Maybe I should put up the shade?

6:33 am

I cant even open my windows--they are frozzen stuck

6:34 am

I got one open with a hair dryer, puglet

6:34 am

sure you should OO if the sun is shining

6:34 am

use the hair dryer around the edges and wipe up all the water as it melts and wipe the track when you get it open

6:35 am

the plural of the mo is the same

6:35 am

I will if the need come to open one

6:36 am

lol,yes it would look odd with an es on the end of it now

6:36 am

Bye all

6:36 am

bye Lyn

6:37 am

Be well, Lyn

6:37 am

6:41 am

and we do get brown and black bears and coyotes and wolves a tad further north

6:41 am

yup,lots of white tails

6:42 am

I dont know that I would care to have the bears as neighbors

6:42 am

and we are in a apple belt,so they do not go far. they spend all winter digging up ground apples for snacks

6:43 am

6:43 am

7:11 am

No, Marc...I actually miss rain and even snow...but, like I said, come summer I'll be paying for this. We only have two seasons in Phoenix---heaven and hell.

Hi, Molls. Hell, no! Our temps are supposed to drop about 50 degrees tonight. My to4 are already cringing.

11:10 am

I just heard that overnight wind chills are supposed to be minus 14 to minus 20. Yee Gods.

11:11 am

The entire state of North Dakota is shut down. Everything is frozen solid, schools closed. Sub-zero everything.

11:18 am

This is such awful news. Must have to do with global warming some way.

11:18 am

Ha ha! Quite the opposite, it would seem.

11:20 am

It does seem as if it doesn't have to do with global warming, but I wonder

11:20 am

Blame Canada. It's coming from their direction.

Scientifically speaking, I would think the bacon grease would help seal the hole in the ozone layer. Can we get a ruling from The Science Guy?

Ignore the typos in the above

11:23 am

After all, bacon do4 make everything better.

11:24 am

Except most people's arteries

11:26 am

Sigh. So true. I've given up most B foods on my diet. Bread, beer, bacon, sugar, fried foods, etc.

11:27 am

It's good to fill up on fruits and vegetable and whole grains

11:28 am

I do that. Just not as fun.

11:28 am

No, healthy dies are definitely not fun.

11:29 am

And, we joined a gym! Just shoot me.

12:22 pm

12:22 pm

sounds like a pack of wolves at the doors and windows

12:22 pm

that will be nice Ruby

12:23 pm

sorry to hear that ruby

12:23 pm

maybe you should get him a wallet with a chain on it and padlock it to his trousers

12:24 pm

I hope that will safeguard you after all is said and done

12:24 pm

Ithink I'm going to have to start doing the shopping either with him or withut him

12:25 pm

It was my one luxury, ust mking lists, but I think that over

12:25 pm

It looks like it Ruby :(

12:25 pm

I am sooo tired

12:25 pm

can you put a stopper on his cards if anyone trys using them

12:26 pm

yes, did that right away but he even had his SS card in his wallet (who knew) which was issued in about 1940

12:27 pm

I know its hard thinking about it Ruby(and I really know) but it may be time that you make some changes this year in your home life

12:27 pm

there's very little I can change

12:28 pm

((ruby))

12:28 pm

would it help moving closer to your son

12:28 pm

{{crossy}}

12:28 pm

puglet is quite correct in this.

12:28 pm

no, I hope I can hold onto this house as it's ideal for me and the pups

12:29 pm

Texas is not for me

12:29 pm

he is too much for you alone Ruby

12:29 pm

here we have things like commumity car success or von in home nursing. do you have anything like that,ruby

12:30 pm

I hate saying this but I mean nothing mean but can you either put him in a home or have outside help come there

12:30 pm

community care access centres

12:30 pm

When I talked to th local policeman today, after filing the various reports, he said there wer3e some servies available to me which I hadn't known about

12:30 pm

You are going to break down mentaly or body wise Ruby

12:31 pm

in home nursing sound like what will be initially needed here

12:31 pm

Hi crossy, get done playing in the snow

12:31 pm

for now. another foot and a blizzard for tonight

12:31 pm

I can't put him in a home because he can't hear and his knowledge of French is inadequate, but I will have to gt more help at home and hav to do my own shopping

12:31 pm

yes, see what help is out there for you,ruby

12:31 pm

followup on the services that they told you about - it might help ease your load

12:32 pm

one of the problems is that husband is so stubborn He keeps saying he'll never fall again, but then he did on Saturday

12:32 pm

yes please do Ruby---If you fall ill then you both will be in worse shape

12:33 pm

BEFORE his wallet was stoken

12:33 pm

well,it is not suddenly going to get better so I would quietly move ahead and see what is available

12:33 pm

well Ruby with his mind slipping he cant be responible for all his actions

12:33 pm

yes, until today, I did't know that anything was available to me as an alien

12:34 pm

its a sad thing for you and bert and I feel for you

12:34 pm

((((ruby))))

12:35 pm

my mother in law waited too long and became a virtual slave to her deteriorating husband in the last 2 years of her life.she did not like the idea of strangers cleaning her home.

12:35 pm

Hello usue

12:35 pm

{{sue}}

12:35 pm

hello sue - thnx for sending your cold weather here to us

12:35 pm

the lady who cleans my house is the sister of one of my friends, and is a friend now too - it has worked out very well

12:35 pm

I love the idea of strangers cleaning the house, it's the rest that I don't like. LOL

12:35 pm

It is a sad thing, but I agree with the others. Stubborn or not, it's time for some changes to be made. For safety's sake.

12:36 pm

Crossy, I hope you take it easy shoveling all that snow

12:36 pm

Hi Molly

12:37 pm

Like what Ruby

12:37 pm

Molly, without you, I'll never achieve another FW!

12:37 pm

took the dog out for a very brief walk - turned around before I got to the end of the block as my forehead was starting to freeze

12:37 pm

Paperwork, for example, and police reports

12:38 pm

yikes Sue, its too cold out

12:39 pm

You have no one there you can trust to help with those things Ruby

12:39 pm

it is indeed, puglet, -16F here and windy

12:39 pm

its -13 here

12:39 pm

*wishes she could move in with ruby and help out*

12:39 pm

My pups spend as much time as possible, lolling about on the cold ground, but 1) I think it's not as cold here and 2) they have coats like unshorn sheep

12:40 pm

<-- seeing my Fr lawyer on Thursday, maybe he can help

12:41 pm

my housekeeper is wonderful, makes a fire every morning and keeps the floors reasonably clean

12:41 pm

howdy all!

12:41 pm

nice to meet you Jen and Hi

12:41 pm

hi jen!

12:41 pm

hello jen

12:42 pm

thats some help Ruby

12:42 pm

I guess I need someone whose advice I trust and somebody to hold my hand through the fisc mess

12:42 pm

it is COLD here!

12:42 pm

hi jen

12:42 pm

yes you do Ruby

12:42 pm

here too, jen!!

12:42 pm

where are you Jen

12:43 pm

south of Kansas City, MO puglet

12:43 pm

it's much warmer here than in the US, at least for the moment

12:44 pm

are you sad you cant enjoy these temps with us Ruby? LOL

12:44 pm

Ruby, be very careful who you share your finances with. Someone who seems trustworthy can get greedy where money is involved.

12:44 pm

Jen - do you have the bitter cold like the rest of the midwest and east?

12:45 pm

YES teach, actual temp is still below zero!

12:45 pm

mildish here in Ontario. tis only minus 10c but as pugs said,the snowfall totals are wild and I must take it easy. just keeps on coming

12:45 pm

That's what started the problem Molly, before we were married. Husband got in the clutches of a crook and that started it all

12:45 pm

ok, must run, Frank has a dentist appointment, bbl

12:45 pm

bye sue

12:45 pm

bye sue

12:45 pm

hagd sue

12:45 pm

bye sue

12:45 pm

mild in Ontario?? Sounds like an oxymoron to me

12:46 pm

I take it Crossy that school is closed

12:46 pm

indeed,ruby, as molly says great care must be taken. start with your lawyer. My wife surviving family turned into heartless vultures aft MIl passed

12:46 pm

it was a snow day for all the schools,so I went in for just some refresher practice

12:47 pm

most of the teacher made it,but including myself , there were only 4 students in the entire school

12:47 pm

The lawyers seem to be the worst vultures of all! They are killing me with their monthly bills, but I am stuck We'll see what the Fr one says on Thursday

12:47 pm

well you have a mighty jeep---lol

12:48 pm

For the moment, thank you all for listening and for your concern. I'm going to bed.

12:48 pm

night ruby

12:48 pm

{{big group hug}} I wish some of you were closer!

12:48 pm

12:52 pm

4:57 pm

off to serve dinner - BBL

4:57 pm

Greetings & saluations.

hi cos

4:58 pm

howdy again everyone. Just dug everything out and we are getting buried again:))

hi cross

4:59 pm

howdy TO:)

it was 60 at dawn today and will be 7 at dawn tomorrow. absolute fahrenheit

5:01 pm

lol,minus 45 wind chill tonight

5:01 pm

and a blizzard

5:01 pm

and a foot and a half of snow

not factoring in considerable wind chill. i bought stuff to cook batches of tomorrow

well, it is a big deal since it is the coldest i have ever seen in my lifetime.

5:02 pm

I am sure it is. we each get acclimatized to our own environments

5:02 pm

but minus 45 is d**n cold! even for crossy

5:03 pm

7f from 60f is a large change indeed

5:03 pm

how are your pipes, Crossy?

wind chill 20-30 below. thinking my car battery is a goner, but will run the car late tonight to give it a fighting chance.

5:04 pm

when it drops below minus 30 ,I run the lowest tap in the place in a small stream. prevents pipes from freezing

i understand that may help. run it and put it into the garage

5:04 pm

-1 most of yesterday. 23 now. 40s tomorrow.

5:05 pm

You folks in the deep freezer chest are in our thoughts!! You are all very word smart--this is the time for your practical smartness to kick in. Be prepared is a good motto for these cold days.

wow cos, sounds as if you are coming out of it. we will to and be near 50 on saturday

think i should let the kitchen tap drip?

5:05 pm

60 on fri. -1 on sat.. lovely lol

5:06 pm

stidmere, when we used to live further north, we used to bring the car batteries in the house each night and cover the car motor with a horse blanke

this is polar air. amazing.

5:06 pm

Oh my, crossy. Talk about ingenious survival techniques!!

what if i wrap the pipes under the sink?

5:07 pm

the blanket keeps the deep frost of the engine

5:07 pm

what is the low tem for tonight there ,to?

your cars were outdoors?

5:08 pm

yes,they were,to

5:08 pm

indoor parking is a high end luxury that I have yet to enjoy in this life

5:08 pm

TO, why is your car battery a goner?

now that i have an attached garage, i would not dream of any other way

because it has been diagnosed as below the optimum.

5:10 pm

if you are worried about your pipe or poor overall insulation, TO ,just leave the lowest tap in the place on just a touch

5:10 pm

i have found one word in the last 15 mins :( i dont wanna list yet

poorly insulated under that sink. when the kitchen is redone i will add that to the list.

5:10 pm

Lazy Vacation Boy : P

and will keep the cabinet door open tonight

5:11 pm

I go back tomorrow ugh but its been a long break

cross you mean a drip?

5:11 pm

yes. but what did you say? 7f ?? that not too bad unless the house has no insulation whatsoever

5:12 pm

I work for misers. I have never had a three week vacation.

i think it froze once before but thankfully did not break.

5:12 pm

more than a drip,turn it on just until there is a tiny stream, as tiny as you can get it but not a drip

5:12 pm

yeah.. im lucky i have the same schedule as school kids :)

aw, molly.

i think i will go rustle up some dinner.

5:13 pm

Water mains in this area were not built for temperatures this cold. I wonder how many of them are going to go BOOM

5:15 pm

can I have a clue for any/all of the TO 7's please?

5:15 pm

yes, we build for it here, however, once it goes below minus 40f/c all bets are off

5:16 pm

actually it think it is at minus 44 that the imperial and metric scales meet

5:16 pm

to7: throw + what u cook soup in
