I feel your pain, Top. Here in small-town Ontario, the temp, with wind chill is -15 degrees Fahrenheit. Tonight, the temp, with wind chill, will be about -21 degrees Fahrenheit. Trying to stay warm is a real challenge these days.

But your in Canada. That's like June temps for you guys
We're below zero with a -15 wind chill actually that's normal here in January but not March

Mechanical keyboard? Nothing ruins mechanical keyboards.

Depends on sugar/cream content otherwise.

Half coffee. Half cream. Half sugar. Whatdoyathink? Maybe I should immerse it in a sink of hot water? Maybe pour vodka on it then follow with some graphite to smooth the key action? Did you get it yet? Huh-huh-huh? j/k

Hope Shari and Claudia are okay......I heard there were plenty of power outages in Tennessee ...

 

[Claudia P]

Thank you Jazz, I'm fine it was much ado about nothing here today, except cold and windy. I haven't seen any sign of Shari though.

Hi. I am here. Was frozen for a while earlier today. Internet went down for several hours then was spotty. We got ice and enough snow after that to cover the ground where we are. About 45 minutes north got a couple of inches of sleet/ice. Roads look deceiving. Some main ones are ok, but anywhere there is ponding or a back road, which is most roads here, there is black ice. It will not melt until maybe later tomorrow. So we are staying in.

DH and I have been watching the judges and old game shows and just sitting around talking about if we want to move and if so, where. No idea what we want to do. No construction or talk of construction over the weekend. Quiet. Nice. Boring. Even nicer.

My brain cells are starting to tingle so there is still life up there.

Claudia, is that you? Hi!!!! How are you? Glad to see you. Looks like the storm pretty much fizzled by the time it got to you. That is good. We were on the southern edge of it. If your house was in a hollow you got more ice. I think we are in a hollow. I know we are in a wind tunnel when the winds come through. We got up to 26 degrees today so nothing thawed out.

 

[Claudia P]

Yeah it's me and I'm fine. We got some rain and some wind but basically nothing, no ice and I did see two or three flakes this afternoon but that's it. We stayed above freezing all day till about 5 or so but thankfully this one fizzled before it got to us, or more correctly it was just too warm here yesterday and last night and it took longer to cool us off, It was 60 at midnight last night.

I've been trying to stay away from ECF but not having much luck.

[ShariR]

What is going on. We have been de-liked! And all the blogs are gone. I hope they backed all this stuff up. Over the weekend there were a mess of test posts showing up on New Posts. Hope ECF is getting bigger and better servers so all the slowness is cured. That would be nice.

[ShariR]

Hey, we are back. There is still that big 'offline' msg at top. Is the wild ride over? Glad to see this is not a permanent or long term shutdown-so far.

YEP - Right here . . . Really went though some ECF Withdrawal since it went down last night, almost as bad as giving up "Cigs" - NOT ! ! !

GOOD to See Ya' Guys are here and posting again . . .

At least it gave me some time to do research - still have to follow-up with a few phones calls, then I will be set to pass along some information to one of "My" Friends . . .

OK - Now anyone else experencing "Déjà vu" and being brought back to the very first post in the thread after posting ? ? ?

 

[ShariR]

Huh, back to first post? We will see in a moment.

 

[ShariR]

Nope. I just posted and I am right back here.

Hitting refresh brings me here too. And edit post works.

Well - I'm being taken the first post every-time I post or when I open a thread, even using the "Go To First Unread Post" option . . . Oh Well - Hopefully it will get straightened out . . .

 

[ShariR]

Did it fix itself for you Uncle, or are you still having a rough ride with the posting here? Maybe try logging out and back in, and after that deleting cookies? That is as far as my techie type info goes.
