Good morning everyone. Hope you all have a fruitful Friday

Kiddo has one nasty cold, but says his throat doesn't hurt as bad. I feel bad for him.

It's 12 out there with a feels like -1. But the positive is we didn't get much if any new snow

Have a nice morning. Stay warm.

 

[angelphyre]

Happy Friday lovely lurkers.

It's 39 here, so nice and warm compared to you guys. ...I'm cold just thinking of those temps...Brrrr...Stay warm and safe for those of you with snow too.

Lori, enjoy your luncheon.

Hopefully today won't be so bad, but after the way last Friday turned out, I'm not gonna count on it. Won't be going to the BF's tonight because it's the family Christmas dinner at my dad's on Sunday and we have to drive to Alabama for that...although I have to keep my eyes on the weather because they are predicting rain all day there with temps in the 30s and then 20s...I'm just worried about potential ice on the roads...I'll be the first to admit, I have never driven on ice and don't want to start now.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning everyone

Had another interview with the same place for a mechanic's position, there are 2 positions open I am in the top 3 according to the plant manager!!

 

[balwin]

Enjoy your luncheon Lori

Joey, good luck on that position!

Stay warm all! I'm headed off to work. We won't be able to shut the boiler down again til Monday, sub zero temps are predicted every night.

 

[daleron]

Good morning lovely and handsome Lurkers
Won't mention our temps Those of you with such dangerous temperatures do be careful!

Best of luck Joey! I know you'd prefer a mechanics job

Sorry your son is so sick Sara

Um, haven't been up long and already forgotten most of what I read ... happy Friday y'all

 

[Sara Love]

Didn't have enough time earlier to like and grab quotes. Hope I got em all, this could be my biggest yet

We have 8 degrees headed down to -6. 2 wind warnings and a storm warning (for wind). Yippee

Hopefully you don't get the wind we had yesterday. It was brutal. I know you'll stay warm. I hope it doesn't get too bad.

Good night Fran

Look at you with such nice weather

I couldn't help myself, I had to look it up Where I live we average 85 inches of snow per year. Sara's not far from me and she averages 74 inches of snow per year.

Currently 13 degrees, feels like -7 and still snowing. Should be a better day tomorrow all the way up to 22 degrees with only a little snow and not so much wind. Heatwave on Sat., 42 degrees

Your forecast is pretty similar to ours OBG for the next week.

Hope your little one is feeling better tomorrow Sara.

Hubby and grandson got the air hockey table put together today for another grandson's Christmas present since I don't expect he'll be visiting again until Christmas day. Of coarse we all had to play. Not sure how he's gonna get it home, its huge, but that's his parents problem

Hope you all have a good Friday.

Yikes, I was gonna guess somewhere around 80 inches basing it off of Buffalo. Lovely, if we have 6-8 so far that means only 66-68 more to go

You hope it goes home with him Lolz!

No, I don't think I would be either.

Welp, I'm heading off. Need to try to be out of here a few mintues earlier than usual.
Have a good day all.
I have a Christmas luncheon today, so prob no lunchtime flyby.
Will try to lurk when I get to work though.

Hope you have a great day and an awesome lunch

Have a good day Angel, and I hope you don't have to drive in ice this weekend. Fingers crossed.

Thanks Balwin. Eeeesh! That's awful about the temps. Have a good day and you stay warm too.

Thank you everyone for the good thoughts about kiddo. His temp was 99.0 so I sent him. Stressed to him to stay hydrated, cover his mouth and wash his hands. So I'm gonna head out to wrap Santa presents first in case he ends up at the nurses office and I have to go get him. Enjoy the rest of your mornings and stay warm in these cold temps.

Not fit for man nor beast!!

Good plan, I predict he'll be home.

Hi Lori

I bet Sara's fella will be back too, schools here won't even allow a child to go to school with a temp And they have to be temp free for 24 hours

 

[grandmato5]

Good morning

Hope you have a nice Christmas luncheon Lori

Good luck on getting that job Joey

Hoping you don't run into any ice Angel. If you do, just drive slow and if you need to use your breaks do so s l o w l y and leave LOTS of room between you and the next car. If you slide, go with it, don't try to stop it suddenly. I'm sure you'll be fine. Hope you enjoy your Christmas gathering !

Hoping you get all your presents wrapped today Sara and your son has a ok day at school. My youngest grandson's been dealing with a cold all week although he's been able to go to school and now my daughter's gotten it. She's in her first month of work at a new job and doesn't have any sick time yet so she kind of has to go to work and she's miserable today. Fortunately she didn't have any appointments with clients so she's in her office with the door closed doing an online training. Doesn't matter how old your kids get, we still hate to hear they are sick

Hope it gets warmer for all of you in the deep freeze right now. Stay in if you can !!!

Ok, kitchen floor I washed should be dry so I guess I'd better go see what else needs doing.

 

[daleron]

Good afternoon grandmato

Had to go back to town today but I did get dads shopping done!

 

[grandmato5]

Glad to hear you got your Dad's shopping done Dale.

I realized I was missing one present I'd ordered for granddaughter on Nov 21st from Dick's. I chatted on line with them and they are sending it out again over night(they're paying for the overnight shipping) so it should be here tomorrow.

I haven't been outside yet today. Hibernating as long as possible

 

[angelphyre]

Quick flyby...extremely busy and frustrating day today...all I will say is UGH!

Joey, good luck and hope you get the job!

I know I read everything, but can't really remember it right now, my head is too full of other crap, more UGH!...so anyway hope you all are doing well.

Oh yeah, Sara, hope the little one is okay and feels better soon.

Thanks, me too! I was beginning to wonder if I'd be able to

Gee Guess it's the time of year, we got our neighbors mail today and none of our own

Aw! ((( hugs ))) Angel Hang in there, it's Friday!

 

[oldbikeguy]

Honey I'm home Till after the first unless something comes up before then

The ICE HAS STARTED HERE !!

Wrecks all over the place even down the road from the house

I have never driven on ice and don't want to start now.

Good plan

We won't be able to shut the boiler down again til Monday, sub zero temps are predicted every night.

Just asking but why can't you shut it down then blow it down/drain it then just refill it on monday before it's fired back up that's how we always did it

 

[LoriP1702]

Had a very nice Christmas Luncheon.


@oldbikeguy We were in S. County (St. Louis) off Gravois, I think, (for our luncheon)...I didn't drive.
There was a very fine mist that was freezing just a bit on the windshield, but the roads were still fine.
The gal I work with lives in Cedar Hill, so she's heading out to go home. She'd heard that it's getting slick already there.
I should be okay. Radar isn't showing anything yet where we live, nor anything here in Swansea/Belleville either.
Not sure it will get to us.

 

[angelphyre]

OMG! What a day! I'm beginning to think that my Fridays at this place are really Mondays in disguise! ...But I made it through the day so that's all that matters! I may not be going to the BF's for my "big drink" but I can certainly have my own drink here...time to pour a big one, send the kid out for dinner and sit back and do nothing until I fall asleep.

All you guys dealing with ice, please stay safe.

 

[Sara Love]

Good evening everyone Kiddo made it through the day and is resting on the couch. Temp is still 99, is that a fever? He has to stay home for 24 hrs fever free if it's over 100.

Lori, glad your luncheon was nice. Stay safe in the ice. Hopefully when you are reading this you are home.

Glad your home OBG and not out in the ice.

Dale, so glad your shopping is done for your dad. Were you able to find anything more for Bela?

Grandmato, yikes! Yay that they are overnighting your GD's gift. Glad you remembered it.

Awww Angel, sorry you had a crap Friday. Thank goodness it's the weekend and you'll get to spend it with family.

Arghhhh! I spent all day wrapping and for the first time ever I'm not done I wrapped all DH's families gifts too. Was feeling generous, then I ran out of time.

The sun was shining and then I looked up and it felt like I was in a snow globe. Big, fat, fluffy flakes coming down. So pretty. Only 64 more inches to go - I think! I've already lost count.

Welcome home OBG!
I guess if you have to have icy weather it's at least good you don't have to get out in it

Hope no one was seriously hurt in those wrecks

Had a very nice Christmas Luncheon.

At least you are home now

It's a tiring time of year isn't it

You posted while I was pecking out my post

Oh, all of today's shopping was dads gifts for Bela He's a little smitten with her

Sorry you're getting more snow, it won't interfere with your family weekend will it?
