Need: No luck in finding the recipe. The first time I made it was in 2002 and the next time was four years later. If I have time, I'll keep looking. Don't do much baking OR cooking anymore.

Dang it! Sitting in a "dry slot" for this storm. Got nowhere near the amount of snow that was predicted!

No, CW, I love snow and the more of it the better as long as I can just stay home.

It stopped snowing for awhile then started again. Got about six inches with round one. Now it appears it may snow until about 9 and add another couple of inches. So, the storm is not done yet. It looked the be heading out, then turned around and came back. Now the winds are starting.

This snow a record breaking January storm. Usually January is very dry. All this snow is great for our drought conditions! We really need the moisture!

Thanks to comments from forum members, including specific instructions for me, the patient has decided to take his hypertension medicine today.

Chaos ends in compliance. Okay then.

Thank you!

Snow has stopped, but now very windy. Some of the snow removed from the driveway and walk will now blow back where it came from and be very icey until it melts. Next storm due this weekend. This is just completely bizarre!

Send, can't see where you talked about not feeling well. Hope you are feeling better.

More snow coming tomorrow night, into Saturday. Then again on Sunday into Monday. Unbelievable never seen anything like this!

There is still a semi, broken in half on I-70 trying to get it out. Saw a picture of a horse stuck in a snow drift being dug out by heavy equipment!

So glad I am not working 100 miles south! Sorry, to be repetitive but every time there is a storm coming in I am reminded!

Here is a video of the difficulty associated with cleaning up accidents like the one where the truck broke in half.

Feeling very sad for my neighbor that lost her husband, unexpectedly, in October. She was in Utah for her dad's 80th and got a call after a welfare check by the sheriff was performed. He had not shown up for work.

Within a month of his death a local realtor approached her to say he thought he had someone interested in buying her house. Predatory, if you ask me. Well, evidently she did get a contract that fell. Now a video has been posted for marketing purposes and she posted that the house would be put on the market yesterday. It isn't yet.

She is experiencing grief over the loss of her husband like I have never seen from anyone, ever, in my life. Kinda makes me wonder if she is bipolar. But the depth of her grief is profound. I have not contacted her to tell her how predatory I think this realtor is, I am not a good friend and I'm sure her good friends have told her anything I possibly could. Once she sells the house, it is done, another final loss that cannot be undone.

With the depth of her grief, then to sell the home and mourn the loss of that too, I just cannot imagine how painful it would be for her.

Glad, I am sorry to hear about your neighbors lose.

I pray that she isn't getting hosed in the deal. My mom was approached by one of these sobs and they royally took advantage, like 100k+ advantage. She didn't consult anyone until it was a done deal.

I would encourage you to share my mom's experience, she may not be telling her friends and is telling you because you are a neighbor.

Has anyone heard from GardenArtist? She hasn't been around for a while.

I hope she's okay.

Glad, so sorry for your friend's loss. I hate how realtor's prey on people. Money is always the bottom line for most of them.

ITRR: Garden Artist had responded to one post in November. Could have been others; I didn't look further.

My middle son is in emergency surgery for his gall bladder. He had symptoms over night, went in this morning and is now in surgery. Likely all will be well. D is almost 51 and hasn't any other health issues. His wife who tends to stay away from the rest of us, to put it mildly, called me and his brother and sister and gave us the full picture. He had said he would text me and she said "No. you won't. I'll call her." We chatted and got caught up and she will let me know when he is out of surgery etc. Every cloud has a silver lining. Prayers appreciated.

I'm sorry for your son. The same thing happened to my sister a frw years back. She started having pain in her belly one day and that night they were taking out her gallbladder.

Just got a text, "He's out!" I am assuming that he's ok. Thank you for prayers.

It took so long - three hrs. instead of one because they went for lunch in the middle of surgery according to my son.

Golden,

So sorry about your son having to go to the ER. My oldest daughter has had her gallbladder removed as well.

Glad he is out now. Wishing him all the best.

Golden, my husband had an emergency gall bladder removal this past fall. He's had no issues post-op, hasn't had to change his diet, etc. I'm sure your son will come thru with flying colors.

Son just called and he sounds good. They will keep him in overnight and then he is supposed to stay home for 2 weeks but he says he will rest for 3 days then work from home. He is in IT so he can do that easily and rest when he needs to. So glad this is over and all went well. Thanks for the support. I don't think I have really processed it yet it all happened so quickly. Dd had gall bladder surgery at about the same age. Mother had hers removed when she was about my age or a little older. Her father in his 70s. My father's side of the family never had problems with theirs. I've still got mine. Hope it stays there!!!

Went for groceries today, first time out since the snowstorm last week. You would think this were a ski town! The amount of snow stacked in parking lots is unbelieveable! The piles must be 6-8 feet tall! It is a winter wonderland. Got just a dusting of snow Saturday and the same expected tonight. This storm seems to be staying further south. That is good, they have been so dry, they really need it!

My hubs had his gall bladder removed as well. Sounds like this is quite commonplace. I hope your son makes a full recovery Golden.

Thanks everyone. Son has gone home today and feels fine. It was just a jolt to hear he was in surgery so suddenly. Amazing how quickly they do things today, On finding out more details it does look like R has cancer. I am going to phone my oldest son and tell him he better stay healthy. We have had enough for a while! Now to get this house move and listing out of the way! I want to get settled before R has anymore medical events. He is still on a list for knee replacement but I guess that has to take second place now.

The flu is abating, I am left more sensitive to respiratory allergies right now. Antihistamines and coffee (dilates your bronchi) are easy solutions to that. Could be worse and is on it's way out.

Always something!!! Take care, all and smile. 😊

It was definitely an embarrassment to see our mayor on Face the Nation yesterday. I don’t know anyone in our city that agrees with anything that she said! Geeeeeeeez!
