Stuff and Nonsense and General Conversation

[JerryRM]

I lived in Durham from 1975-77. One of those winters was the one where the entire east coast got hit with major storms and freezing. There must have been about a foot of it where I was. There's nothing like being on snowy roads with people who, through no fault of their own, never get the chance to practice driving in the snow. Terrifying!

Jane, we have people who live up here, who don't know how to drive in the snow. Some years ago, I was driving down a snow and ice covered side street, when another car pulled into the street, like it was a summer day. I knew what was about to happen, so I stopped about 50 from him. Sure enough, he lost control of his car and did a few donuts, before he regained control of his car. Then he slowly drove past me, with a sheepish look on his face. lol

A foot of snow, Sonic? Ok, one foot of snow is on it's way to you.

Good morning y'all


I bet there are more people here that can't drive in snow, Jerry. in fact, i can pretty much guarantee it.

Wheee! Woke to frozen pipes! Had fun unfreezing 'em!

(yes, we took the normal precautions... froze anyway. pbbbt)

 

[CES]

Frozen pipes are no fun at all.

I hope that you don't get too much of the upcoming winter weather.

 

[Poeia]

I hope you got them thawed before they had a chance to do any real damage.

Stay warm, everyone.

My sister sent me a joke (something she rarely does.)

A wife texts her husband on a cold winter's morning:

"Windows frozen, won't open."




Her husband texts back:

"Gently pour some lukewarm water over it and gently tap edges with hammer."




She texts back 5 minutes later:

"Computer really messed up now"

That got a chuckle

Good morning

So are y'all snowed in up there, Deej and Witch?

No snow

Need Jerry to send some snow down our way... no more than 3 feet, though. We want to take Blue out to play in it, but don't want to lose her!

We are, however, frozen. Does that count?

Pretty little icicles hanging from the wind chimes, pine needles, etc. Not big ones... about an inch long...

 

[Poeia]

Some flavors definitely grow on me. I just finished the last of my Creme Brulee a la Deej. I shall miss it. It was good.

Icicles count. Unfortunately.


Good morning, y'all

Good morning,CES

Heya, Fran

 

[CES]

Good morning Y'all

Happy Friday

 

[JerryRM]

Good morning, Peeps. Deej, you don't want snow, no one in their right, or even their left mind wants snow. We have icicles too, 4 foot long ones. When they finally fall, everyone had better duck, because they will penetrate a skull and slide right through the body.

 

[JerryRM]

I hope you got them thawed before they had a chance to do any real damage.

Stay warm, everyone.

I was thinking the same thing, Jane. I have never had to deal with burst pipes, but many up here in the frozen wasteland have.

An office building I once worked for had to tape off a huge section of the sidewalk, making us walk in the street, every time there was a thaw after a storm. Most buildings with sloping sides have spikes set at frequent intervals. Not this one. The snow and ice would sled off the building in 10x10 sheets and land on the sidewalk.

On a more cheerful note, a group of hedgehogs is called a "prickle."

 

[JerryRM]

So what you are saying, Jane, is that hedgehogs are a bunch of prickles?

Hope this one slides past the censors.
