    We're also supposed to get snow and ice these next couple of days. I'm dreading driving home from the airport tomorrow night

    Mildly irked that it's supposed to snow again tomorrow. Tbh, kids had like a 6 day weekend last week between the snow and the holidays (teacher inservice and then President's Day). Tired of snow and all its ills.

    We've been getting warnings for snow and ice. I don't mind snow but ice is scary and no fun at all to drive in

    Yeah, the ice is the scary part. You would think that living next to the mountains, the people here would at least put decent all-season tires on their cars/trucks and know how to steer into skids and the like, but no.. they drive too fast on tires not recommended in snow, in cars that have no oomph to drive around in the snow (RWD cars do poorly here when it snows due to our hilly city and the fact that the roads just turn to freaking sheets of ice). Unfortunately, because they are somewhat used to snow, the school districts don't cancel school when they should (due to windchill more than snow) and they seem to forget that almost all the schools here are in residential areas on hills. If you have to stop on the hill to wait to turn into the parking lot to drop off your kid(s) like I do, you're just gonna slide right back down the hill sometimes when it snows here. Not worth it, lol.

    Honestly, there's a stretch of road on the opposite town from me that the locals all joke about (even though it's not funny looking at overturned cars) and say "Ope, Markscheffel strikes again" (that's the name of the road). Sooooo many overturned and ditched cars on that street.

    When he forgets your birthday, your anniversary, to take out the trash, to fill up the dog bowl, to check your oil, to feed the fish, to mow the lawn, to grab the mail, his mom's birthday, Christmas, MLK day, the last person he spoke to, to flush the toilet, to put the seat down...But he can tell you the exact day and time he last got lucky.

    He'd get lucky more often if he remembered half that *kitten*. Just a thought.

    I always put the seat down - but why do woman not have to put the seat up afterward - wouldn’t that be a fair exchange - we each have a role in the direction of the toilet seat - a tit for tat if you will 🤔 - to be fair this is not my thought I heard it on a stand up bit and found it thought provoking-

    The reasons are

    There is a danger of falling in when a woman goes to pee in the middle of the night with her eyes closed. Having the seat down is a safety precaution

    Further, both the seat and the lid should be closed before flushing every time. This is a hygiene issue. Google will explain further if you’re interested but basically caca sprays everywhere including on your toothbrush and your towels and your face

    Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

    I think it’s good to always question the default but in this case there are reasons

    Dang it. Both regular gyms closed because of weather and power outages. 2 other gyms closed because power outages. Was hoping to find a gym because I’m ridiculously sore and took off yesterday. And also don’t have power at home and it’s getting cold.

    Dear Wisconsin,
    You are awful.
    Luv,

    There’s not really snow. I could shovel some scoops of slush. Which I would gladly do. We have to sneak over there and hope she doesn’t see/hear us. She gets a little mad. And will not NOT pay us. No matter what we say or do. So then I feel bad about the whole thing. (She pays her family too for shoveling and grass cutting even though they tell her not to). I’m definitely gonna go home and do something though. I was told Pearl is an amazing Pilates instructor too!🥰
    I still say the walking lady is better. Five really big miles!

    Currently? The very annoying headache/migraine I have. I'm guessing it's because of sinuses due to how I woke up, buuuuut... this is also day 3 of not having any diet soda (or any soda, period) so I am curious if some of it is from caffeine withdrawal as well.

    No clue; can't say I've ever noticed a difference from drinking caffeine/not drinking it. Certainly never get any of the benefits people talk about.
