Going back to sleep everyone!View attachment 2460717

I thought the diner was 24/7????

 

[Wonderer67]

When you say taxi it sends me back to my NYC taxi driving days. I am in FL but still have my winter clothing for when I travel north. We are going to have a low of 53 here today and to my FL accimated body that feels cold. Hope the taxi ride this morning is a good one!

Taxi drivers in NYC are nuts. You just have some good stories!

Do tell!!!

 

[Wonderer67]

Happy Monday!!! It snowed and now it has switched to some watery stuff which is, I suspect, Freezing Rain. That's based on how it's collecting on the bare tree limbs. Hmmmm. I'ma not going out in this shit. I may move my truck to the church parking lot. People drive fer-shit here in the rain, and sneaux just makes it worse. Worser. Worserer.

Drivers from that area are the worsterestest. I’m telling ya.

 

[Wonderer67]

Morning all.

Winter weather. Familial health and life concerns. Monday.

I been off for abt two weeks and am
Actually looking forward to getting back into my work routine. I have tons of meetings lined up for today and a buncha to-dos.

In the other hand it felt like a mini retirement for two weeks and I could get used to that. Except for when I was sick, I wasn’t bored and found shit to do.

Plan for today is my sisters are gonna be w mom today. I will see her after work.

Yesterday was def worse than the day before. But still moments of coherence. My mom and my sisters used to sing all the time so my sisters sang some nice duets to her.

I didn’t really know those songs except for row row row your boat. The. We decided on a trio of White Riot by the Clash! . Once teens, always teens!

Catch yaz all later.

It is amazing how tied in we are wiht social media!

I had really bad reflux so when I woke up I was sort of nauseated so had to sit up for a bit.... just a little check in before back to sleep. Some of our beloved are in different time zones !!

My county is a level 3 snow emergency. No non essential personnel....

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.

Mid to high 60s all week
Don’t hate

 

[likes2watchU]

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...

Good morning all. Frightening images on the news channels here of the weather in some parts of the 'Beyond Pond'
I don't know where many of you reside but, wherever you are, I hope you are safe and warm at the very least.

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.

Hunker down those in the way of the big storm! I am north of the big storm and it’s cold: wind chills in the teens. More cold coming.

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

I have found that a little ice cream just before I craw into bed helps. I remember my dad doing that and now I know why. I can make it till 4:30 or so.

Is that the Cold Option for warm milk at bedtime?

Freezing Rain. That's based on how it's collecting on the bare tree limbs. Hmmmm. I'ma not going out in this shit.

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

Good luck. 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.

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

I thought the diner was 24/7????

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.

Winter weather. Familial health and life concerns. Monday.

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.

Work...I give a big thumbs down.....

Bed ....i give a big thumbs up

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

Need lots more coffee, grab the shovel or the remote, the remote wins. TV is on...more snow is coming, not going anywhere

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

Morning cold AF here today snow expected tonight not gonna get out of the 30’s for the next 10 days.

Welcome to January
always such a warm welcome every new year

I want this couch...

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

That's fucking Cold!

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

Midwest Winters eh?

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.

Mid to high 60s all week
Don’t hate

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