Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday.
28 out there now with an expected high of 47 and no chance of precipitation.
Could definitely stand to get to the grocery store today, but don't know if that will happen. I need to finish that last load of laundry in the dryer too. Just re-fluff and fold since I left it in all night.
A nap sounds good too. Throat still a bit sore and I'm more than ready for that to go away.

Hi
I'm back from walking this Morning + No Cents. The temperature this morning was 24 on the porch and 25 on the cable channel. The wind chill temperature was a little above Zero with the moderate and gusty breeze. I could feel it on the face where it was not covered by the Hoodie and whenever I needed to take the heated Mittens off.

Loved the funnies Roger! Stole most of them. LOL.
The articles were interesting too, but I have no comments. Well, other than that I thought the aftershocks would be political, not geological!

Quick Hello! I'm running about an hour behind today.
Watched last night's Alabama elections..before sleep, during sleep as I'd wake, and again this morning. Very interesting to me.
Today I have no appointments! YEA!!! So I have all these chores, and groceries, and gym, and, and, and....
Simlax ! Most awful plant alive, (maybe exception is poison ivy?) Roger it grows in amongst shrubs, trees, etc...Ed's right you really can't just grab a vine and pull..(and if you have heavy leather gloves, and I do,) and you try to pull it or cut it off and pull it...the tendrils have wrapped all around the leafy parts of you plant, and you'll do major damage.....and you really can't spray it with Round Up or whatever because you'd kill your shrub, rose bush, etc. cutting it off only makes it send up twice as many new vines...it is in my azaleas, that I see out my kitchen window...the only good thing ? if there is a good to it...the stems stay green all winter, so if you can find an agreeable day to do outside chores, it can be distinguished from the shrub stems!
Down here its also called "Cats Paw"....for obviously good reason!!
Ok, heading for the shower, and out the door. Sunny, not very warm, but not as bad as yesterdays wind!! The kids at the gym watched me try to get from car to gym...I was being blown all over the place (parking lot)...didn't fall thank goodness, but surely buffeted about.
Will come back late and read, watch videos, and have a second laugh at the cartoons.
Later...0 -
That works for me BACON!

Hi
I'm back from walking this Morning in a light snowfall, It snowed overnight and so far there is over an inch of the white crud
The temperature this morning was 25 on the porch and 24 on the cable channel. The wind chill from yesterday is now history
Whoo Hoo, AKA Whee, I'm in the money. The other day I had a Phone call that My money woes are over as I have been pre approved for a Payday loan and the next day I had a different phone call telling me that I was Pre Approved for a Loan. Naturally I was less than eager to bite on those scam calls.

Hi Valerie
If I said it was not a surprise to me, The Democratic Party put everything they have behind that election. Nuff Said.
That sounds like an extremely invasive plant. It sounds like a choice of damaging Your plants pulling it or having them strangle the plants
I had a bit of a problem from the wind gusts too.
Today I did not go as far as usual due to the snow which was somewhat slippery underfoot except when I could walk in the road. Then I had to climb out of the road when traffic came at me. I can hear noises that tell me the snow is packing underfoot when I walk on it and thus I got 3/4 of my normal distance.
Have a Good Day

Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!
33 out there now with an expected high of 55 and no chance of precipitation.
I think J has lunch scheduled with an ex-coworker today and I could really stand to hop over to the nearby PetSmart to get some cat food, and maybe Publix or Aldi for milk.
My iMac is updating right now so I'm using my docked Surface 3 pad (with attached full size keyboard) for the moment.
My MacBook updated last night so I could have used that but it's in the other room. The docking station for the pad
shares the same physical desk as the iMac so it's convenient to use when the iMac is busy with other things.
I'm fairly used to switching back and forth between Apple and PC nowadays.
Now let me go find some, hopefully, interesting videos.

And, for nap time, is this really the most comfortable pillow ever?
