I just got a text from furniture delivery nephew, they are out on their route and the roads have been closed. Did no one check the weather before sending them north??

I know there is weather due this weekend, and of course that is when everyone is supposed to be coming to our house. If it is a worst case scenario everything is closed and there is no question about cancelling, but anything less and we are left second guessing right up to the last minute.... ugh, I hate it.
I am fortunate to live south of the snow belt, for the most part squalls and road closures begin just north of town. The real heavy snow is well to the north up around Georgian Bay, I expect the ski resorts are happy enough with this weather.

More snow headed our way, cwillie - 6-10" between tomorrow and Saturday, plus we're on the "line" of the storm where it changes from a freezing mix to all snow - so we could get a mess. We're just now kind of recovering from last week's storm, which dumped about 6" on us, but the U.P. got 46" over the past week, with heavy snow every single day - so I'll take our 6-10" and not complain too much!

A snow day today, which means no caregiver because she is a wimp and won't drive on a closed highway (just kidding lol). Thank goodness I moved to town and can walk to get almost everything I need if I really have to.

I have a huge mug of coffee in front of me right now! You would laugh if you saw how big the mug is....I love coffee and it is hard to cut back. I do add more cream to it and that seems to take some of the problem away. I also will try switching to a milder roast instead of the very dark roast and will see if that helps. I can't give it up entirely though!

Thx Katie........yes, coffee is a problem I think........but, I love my coffee. It's really the only vice I allow myself. It's decaf too so I hate to have to give it up. But, I guess I have to weigh the pros and cons. Tummy problems, running to find a washroom when I am out, heartburn vrs. that warm rich taste of the coffee running through my veins. Hmmmm..........hang on, just finishing my coffee.

Hi Luckylu,
Have got to get moving today, but it is hard. I promised someone something, so I must do it. I will be back later, and hope you will get to visit someone today so you won't be so alone or lonely.

Katie, Yesterday, I forgot my coffee. Thankfully, those sharp pains in my head were just coffee withdrawal. So, I too will be cutting back-that huge cup will be less than 6 oz. each morning.

Shopping, an attack of extreme weakness, g.i. issues----
Too many tums can make it worse.
The doctor can help.
There is no diagnosis yet, but someone thought my g.e.r.d. symptoms were hiatal hernia.

Gershun, I hope you are feeling better soon. I have been having some of those symptoms myself and am trying to cut back on coffee...I love my coffee though.The extreme cold and dry indoor air is wreaking havoc with my sinuses too I hope you feel better...could it be a stomach bug?

As I tucked mom in at the hotel California tonight she said I don't like it here - I don't blame her

Send that is so true what you said about not relying on how you feel but on God's promises.

I have been dealing with a sour, upset stomach for a couple of weeks now. I think I might have IBS. Irritable bowel syndrome for those of you who don't know. It sucks. Everytime Hubs and I are in a store, I'm there 5 minutes and then running, looking for a bathroom cause I feel like I'm going to soil myself. Just Lovely...............NOT!

When I said do not judge your life by how you feel that does not include feeling like you have to go potty. Definitely listen to your gut.............LOL

Well Lu, there are no good feelings right now.
Maybe it is a good thing that I have learned to not rely on changing feelings, but instead on the plans God has for my life. And for everyone else's life too.

Yeah, Was too busy to look, really, and can tell it is full by my feeling out of sorts.
I already...., so it must be the full moon. Try to understand, I am not blaming the full moon. It is just a common occurence with me, coincidental, I think.

The shock of seeing a teenager in the road ahead, suddenly, on Saturdaty night has unsettled me since that happened. Got to get up and keep moving, right now.

So happy you all are here! Going outside.

Full moon? I saw it earlier this evening, rose in the sky around 4 pm, was still light out. It looks full but I looked it up and the official date is tomorrow. Same difference. :)

Churchmouse,
Can you get the New Yorker online, for free?

I remember a comic many years ago, published in the New Yorker:

On rounds, a group of doctors were gathered around the bedside of a very ill
looking patient. The caption read: "This patient has a very rare form of health insurance".

Waiting, waiting-I am just not feeling the holiday, except sad. Nothing bad is happening here, right now. Or, is it the full moon, lack of feeling.

Someone asked how it was going with me this morning......my face said everything, and the two ladies just knew! I didn't say anything but bye now!
These are good people!

Hm. I can have the New Yorker once a week for just over a hundred dollars, which is a genuine bargain -

But I'm supposed to be buying presents for the family this morning. Poo!

Yeah but, have you noticed, they all look alike! Lol.

I did e-mail Action tonight. Asked if this is happening a lot.
We should force them to do community service as caregivers when caught and if found guilty of a crime----NOT!

Send,
If you can identify the teen I think you should definitely report the incident to the police - someone is going to get hurt and his parents should reprimand him

This thread has become too funny and entertaining.
When I searched for "General topics" just now, trying to come back here, this was not listed! Had to go to my "activity" page to find it!
What is with AC forum, why are they doing this to some threads.
I couldn't find the "What's for dinner" thread either the other day.

Katie, Maybe I could duct tape the teen to a light pole and make a citizen's arrest?
Or drive up behind him and scare him by honking? That would be mean, and I couldn't do that. But these ideas are funny to contemplate.
Likely that I will do nothing, because I need peace in my life-tired of being angry about the many injustices-maybe I should try to forget it?

Lu my Mom loved her magazines too. In fact after she died I was getting her mail delivered to my place for a while and magazines would appear in my mailbox saying "its time to renew your subscription" It was all a scam though. They were just trying to trick her into thinking she had a subscription which she did not.

I just hate the way people try to take advantage.

My Mom was addicted to magazines for a few years before she died and had to have The Enquirer and her soap opera magazines as soon as they came out to keep up on all that important news.It was a small joy for her so I didn't mind her fits.

At least they are aware - down street is local high school but our street is dead end & a short cut for them - they walk up 6 abreast & take whole street but worst is the guy by himself with earbuds & hoodie up who doesn't hear you - I almost feel bad for the guy I drove up to about 3 ft away & then laid on the horn - did he ever jump ! - maybe he'll smarten up that roads are for cars too [we have no sidewalks here so they need to be aware]

FF - Mom was the same way with magazines! Mom and Dad liked to donate magazines they received, but not without removing the labels or blacking them out first. All junk mail was shredded - every bit of it, even things without an address.

Susan, I had to chuckle, what you found that your Dad saved was pretty much what my Dad had saved. Not sure about the "aged sawdust", but as a kid I loved the smell of freshly sawed sawdust :)

I never had been in my Dad's attic in the garage, too hard to get into.... had a handyman go up there. Dad saved all the original boxes that store items came in. My gosh, box after box after box. Oh well, guess one never knows if you need to ship back a 20 year old computer monitor :P

Oh, computer cords everywhere... those big old bulky cords with the wide ends that one would place on a computer tower then tighten the screws on either side of the ends.

My parents were also big on privacy.... good heavens, one would think they were in the witness protection program the way they acted. Never would Mom hand me last month's Good Housekeeping to read without the label blacken out with a large felt pen.
