Buwhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
LD, you seriously had me laughing out loud! Partly because most of what you say is the same kind of sheet that happens to me! Thank you for that. It was much needed
I have been so worried about my mom taking a fall and I am the one that took a fall yesterday. Was rushing to get to a dr appt, slipped on a clear piece of plastic in my bedroom, slammed into the wall and landed on my hands and knees. Not before catching my elbow on the TV stand. Dayum that sheet hurt! I am at least half crippled from the fall today. Been thinking that my mom would have suffered some serious damage from a fall like that. Ugh! If it were not for bad luck.....................
Calling for 3-7 whopping inches of snow here. That is a lot for this area. Worst part is that we will also get ice. That just about guarantees power loss. I have fireplace and generator but still just hate going without power. I am already hearing reports of trees down and power outages not far from here. Going to go and get done what I am able to while we still have it.
Hope the rest of you are able to stay warm and safe. Have a great day all.
Wharf, such sad news. Matt touched my life many times in my early ECF days. Thank you for sharing this info.
Salem, ouch! Hoping you will mend soon.

May MWA forever RIP...........
Hope you feel better soon Salem !!
We got all sleet....some freezing rain now....Thankfully my heat depends not on electricity....Mom's however does....Praying the power stays on or else it's all hands on deck....
My newest obsession....a Peruvian beanie....kinda a ear flap boggan with pig tails....If I gotta be freezing my azz off I might as well look cool while doing it....

I'm sorry about your fall Salem. Ouch!
I remember MWA and had no idea he was from broomal pa. So sad to learn of his passing. Thank you Wharf for letting us know.
I'm hearing 6-10 now. I hope the forecast keeps going down.
Dang winter!

They have up'd our forecast to the 6-10' range, so I'm right there with ya, Tracy. I knew 1-3" was too little to hope for!
Dee, I would imagine you put the cool into anything you wear Sure hope you don't lose electricity and have to go rescue Mama Dee.

Yeah we are all hunkered down here; I'm still hoping it blows out to sea!

Dang we lost power at 3:45....came back on around 8 !!!!
Had to clear pine limbs off Mom's power line and out of my driveway....I figured it best to remove those limbs from the line while the power was down.....There are limbs all over the place....they crack like a rifle before they fall...My hope is the power stays on....I rode Mom over too Sis' where they had power the whole time....

Oh, no!!!!!!!!! I honestly and truly was just wondering about Matt I had lots of conversations with him. He was a hard one to warm up to but, once you got to know him a very good guy. That really makes me sad to hear.
I am going to look at Wharfs posts to find where he was talking about it. I must have missed it.
So far, so good. We have dodged the power outage bullet for now.

I almost posted here a few weeks ago to ask if anyone knew what became of him. I knew that he was having health issues a few years back. He told me that none of the Docs were able to figure out what was going on. He stopped the use of aspartame and felt confident at that time that was where his issues were coming from.
He was the person that convinced me to buy my first Ego Twist when they first came out. He was very active here and my bet is that he helped many people.
RIP, Matt. You will be missed.
LD, I knew that you guys were catching hell up your way. We got a few inches of snow, sleet and ice. A few flickers in the power but never lost it. A few years ago, Duke sent out crews to cut limbs away from the lines in this area. We were ...... when they did it because they left the freaking mess and it looked horrible. BUT, we still have power so guess that we may forgive them. We actually kept power through the last ice storm as well. Hoping all goes well for you tonight. I am hearing that tomorrow should be much better weather.
My mom is here with us and I was showing her around the net earlier. There are things that I have told her about that she was interested in. It amazed her.
Thanks for all of the well wishes. I am still sore as hades but think that I will live.So strange about Matt especially since he has been on my mind lately. I often wonder about folks that just disappear without a trace. At least we know in this case.
Well.........................
When I took Mom over too Sis' I left my gate open upon return......that turned out to be a good thing....My intentions were to hit the road in my Dodge and ride around some....Well with this and that going on I decided to walk up and close the gate.....The tree that had earlier dropped the limbs on the power line......well......it was now laying on the powerline....it speared itself into the post where the gate locks....messed up the fence that connects too the gate...bent the weatherhead pole where Mom's power enters the house....My drive is blocked 110%....no other way outta here....It did narrowly miss the house so good on that....So I whipped out the pole saw and held the flashlight in my teeth and cut enough limbs to free the powerline....Now it's hanging about 8 feet over my drive where it was about 20 feet up or so....Trust this rightcheer....I'm filing a ding dang claim.....El Dee's Tree Removal Service with a side of fence repair and landscaping....no 'lectricity though....My cousin will have to handle that due to the power company needing too come out......When they run the line it's suspended by a steel cable....the steel cable is what broke......Got about 10 million limbs from XXL on down to remove as well....Hopefully that's the only tree though.....
It ain't safe out there........

It was a shocker Goldie. Matt was close to Bert and all the Trippy Tipsters. Bert posted it on FB.
