Thanks, Dale......Angel. I also think to use one during the summer you'd have to crank the A/C down to not overheat. But I've always heard when a crisis hits, a lot of people go to bed for a long sleep!

 

[Kayte]

My grandson, Carter is autistic and SPD and he has one... or two? He uses them a LOT. They have been wonderful for him.

I sleep better in the winter, too, chooch... and enjoy the weight of more blankets, but I don't think I could sleep with one of these. At least not one like Carter's. It is really heavy... far heavier than just the added winter blankets type weight. I think I would have issues with heat as well as feeling trapped. BUT... if you can get the house nice and cool in the summer and don't have problems with feeling trapped, I would think it could very well help. You could always give it a try and if it turns out to be 'not for you', you could donate the blanket to a family with an autistic child. A lot of people can't afford them and also don't realize how great they are.

 

[choochoogranny]

Thank you, Kayte. These blankets do come in various weights.......from 4 to 20 lbs. depending on the need of the individual from what I've read. Am alright going to sleep. It's staying asleep that's my problem. Am reading where some adults and children without any problems do achieve a longer and more restful snooze under these things.......Then again I just could use the afghans during the summer........and spend the money on more A/C! Ha!

 

[choochoogranny]

Good morning, Mountaineers! Wadsup? Ha!

Extremely nasty morning here today...storms woke me up at 5:30 with hail and heavy winds. Still stuck at home as I can't even get out of my neighborhood since the only road out is flooded...And found the passenger side floor of my car flooded when I tried to leave...UGH! What a way to start the day.

 

[choochoogranny]

Good gravy, Angel! Doing the right thing by staying put.......Hubby is gonna mow shortly and try to beat the rain coming here......although it was suppose to start last night. Right now it's sunny and low 80's.

 

[Ms.Cruzer]

Stay safe Angel. Been seeing a lot of flooding on the coast on my FB feed today. When we flew out of Gulfport last weekend it was so hot and humid. It felt like it does right before a thunderstorm.

SNOW DAY HERE! I did take off work today but not because it's snowing. I do love to watch it snow though. We're expecting up to 2 feet by tomorrow evening. So, I'm making a chicken and biscuit stew today while Linda's still here. What else do you do when it snows??

 

[choochoogranny]

LOL!!! Hey, Ms.C. Say hello to Linda for us and pass around that chicken stew! Don't mind spring at all 'cept in the South the "hot and humid" starts so quick! Then there's the heavy pollen that messes with people's sinuses, and in our area......more particularly on our property......those squiggly, dangly things falling off the oak trees that somehow make their way into the house. Argh!.....But you know all this and get to watch snowflakes fall at the end of April.

 

[YoursTruli]

Hi I hope everyone is doing well and Angel and Mrs.C are staying safe out of the weather! I woke up with a miserable head cold this morning I dearly hate spring and summer colds they seem to hang on forever.

 

[choochoogranny]

Shoot, Truli, the heavy pollen at this time of yr. can't help either. Blew off the deck this afternoon.......Was engulfed in yellow........Looked like a "brassy blond." Ha!

 

[YoursTruli]

The pollen is bad here too the cold is complements of my son who was sick this week with it when he took me grocery shopping, not that he meant to give it to me I just got unlucky I guess in spite of taking precautions. yuck

 

[choochoogranny]

He owes you some chicken soup!

 

[Kayte]

Hi all!
Angel, hope the rain stops soon and no more flooding your car!

Ms. C - enjoy the snow. I heard we're supposed to get some rain. It snowed here (very lightly) a couple of days ago. I'll take it in whatever form I can get it, but would prefer rain right now. All of my fruit trees are blooming and they're so pretty (aside from the fact that I enjoy the fruit.) The lilacs are about to open, too.

Chooch, I'm with you and wish the 'nature litter' would keep itself outside! I don't actually feel like sweeping every day. Not even every other day.

Truli, sure sorry to hear you're sick. Sounds like you could use some of Ms.C's stew and a good sleep. Hope you feel better fast and this one doesn't hang on long!

Obviously we won't be showing tips this evening. My daughter had a photoshoot here this afternoon and a bunch of the grands came with her. Always good to have them over. Now I need a nap.

 

[daleron]

Hugs & kisses to all those in need ... yes, I've forgotten what all I've read but know most of you have had a bad day

Except maybe Kayte

 

[daleron]

Good morning lovely & handsome ones

 

[choochoogranny]

'Morning, Dale. New day. New weekend.......And that sure is a dainty little cup for coffee! Ha! Never did rain here yesterday or last night, but I did see "red skies" this morning. Perhaps the "Mississippi Sprinkle" is coming this way.

Good morning Chooch
Storms have been here since before daylight ... as a matter of fact, I've yet to SEE daylight
Satellite has been mostly out.

 

[choochoogranny]

Uh oh! Do you suppose we ought to send the Coast Guard to pick up Angel?

I don't know where Angel is but we are having flash flood warnings for our area
Not that it effects us up on our hill

 

[choochoogranny]

I don't mind living in the mtns. There are certain benefits, but the walking up and down the things is what gets to me. There's a reason why "ridge runners" have one leg shorter than the other. Ha!
