another week, another Monday
that's just the way it works - I don't make the rules
quick catch up then back to work for me...

Thank you! Storm experience varies by location but everyone seems to have gotten a round of Cold from Mother Nature. The Warm Wishes are very welcome.

same. doesn't look like snow in my area until later in the month. a touch of snow to send us off into the Negative Zone and then a touch more when it warms back up

Same view in Celsius for our friends using that system.
However that view makes the whole month look like one, long Negative Zone (who needs that? )
Brr - I feel colder looking at C temps than F

Is that the Cold Option for warm milk at bedtime?

Smart choice! No need to play on the ice rink unless you're an Ice Skater or Hockey Player IMO

Water problems are so frustrating. We need water, but when it doesn't go where you want? What a mess!!
Hope it gets resolved soon this week, @dkak001

Yes, but also appears to have at least a skeleton crew on most major holidays. Maybe not the full menu, but service available for those in need.

Hopefully the return to your routine will help. Nice your siblings are able to assist with Mom. The in-room Music Fest sounds like a lot of fun.

Sick leave approved, Missk... take the day. Hope you feel better soon!

Feels like a good day to burrow under the covers and veg out!

Welcome to January
always such a warm welcome every new year

Good luck with the redecorating, RJ
Hope Mrs RJ has the same taste in decor


Those shenanigans, and more, are scheduled for a bit later this month or perhaps early next.


And it's not just the Midwest - parts of Canada join in the fun, too when the temps get ridiculous

This one's lots of fun - just don't throw the water on the sidewalk or driveway (safety first)

The Freezing Stuff in Below Zero Temps seems to have gained momentum about 10 years ago with someone in MN freezing some jeans and setting them up around town. They took pictures, tagged them with fun captions like "Freezing my pants off", and posted them to social media where they went viral. Now there's all sorts of "Freezing things" videos out there.


So boring - stuff doesn't freeze at 60 above
JK - sounds lovely. when can we all come to visit?

Once again thanks for the catch-up and synopsis. Take care all of us in the snow belt.
Winter wonderland I'm sure....
About 5 to 6 inches here

Midwest Winters eh?

Let's all have a safe winter out there....

I was delighted back during the Pan-Fried-Demic that we were declared to be essential. I couldn't have afforded to be out of work, and it would have sucked anyway.


Mom's lights came back on. He eye appointment is cancelled. She can call to reschedule at her leisure.


I'm making breakfast.

What you have for breakfast.... I think oats sound good they r now on the shopping list.....

Glad your moms electricity is back.

I was essential...sometimes a little annoying to white knuckle it to work... but it is what it is

Mid to high 60s all week
Don’t hate

Update 72 Thursday so will have to start my tan
No one around here

 

[dkak001]

Morning everyone!

Don't you have a trip coming up soon? Is that why you're up at 3AM!!!

 

[dkak001]

Had the same thing abt a week ago. Small leak under the kitchen sink.

Crawling under a sink to repair something is the worst!

Hate projects where nothing goes right. Glad you have enuf wherewithal to have made a quick field expedient fix till you can get the right part.

Not looking foreword to the final repair. Still have to order the part. The good news is the repair is holding...

 

[dkak001]

Same here Illinois, 20 out, with 8" of snow.

For once, you all are getting more snow than us!

Not that I'm wishing snow on you, I'm just happy we don't have enough to worry about right now!

I liked riding my motorcycle then. Lots fewer idiots on the road. I was always amused passing someone in their car, alone, all the windows up, diaper on their face I used to tell people, if I can clear a room farting through silk and denim, how much fucking good does that cheapest-one-=available mask really do?


Mom is kinda needy sometimes. Sometimes, it's worserer.

My mom is not whiner... she is a nagger.....I love her to pieces but i don't need to be told how to use a rainbow vacumn.... I freaking have one...and I know what she wants me to do because she has told me 487 times...... for example.

I think people needed to use some common sense. And not let people talk them into this woke bullshit...and I am a nurse

Don't burn the good bits. I speak from experience that a burnt butt is not pleasant

Mom is beginning to slip a bit. She's lazy. She won't do the most basic research. Sometimes, she wakes up and thinks it's whatever and gets up and does stuff and then realizes that she's 12 hours off on the wrong day. Hell, we're all subject to do that, but some of us check our phones to see what day it is and the correct time. This time of year, 0600 looks like 1800. Then she gets mad at me for pointing this out. The rebelliousness is the hardest part.


She's probably getting me back for my teenage years.

Haha...probably

My mom is darling and I love her to pieces, but I seem to be the repository for everyone's bullshit (not just hers) so I have to have boundaries with everyone or I will go crazy.....

We are good buddies

My mother has a very old lamp with a leather shade. I can't help but wonder...
