I do! Runs and hides under a rock.

I own one, but, I don't remember when that last time was I used it. I think my wife just didn't take it when she left (18 years ago) and I have a hard time throwing anything away.

I have to iron my Dh’s cotton shirts every week. I hardly ever have anything of mine to iron.

Our highest temperature in the next 10 days is 26, and that's tomorrow... the rest are teens and single digits, with no balls of fire in the sky.

thats a giant NOPE.

Is anywhere warm? Definitely a cold winter so far.

Always above 24C.
Toasty in the afternoons D:

Yesterday trip was crazy, from 7C to 32C from Miami to PVR.

Nice! Wow. My neighbor is visiting family near Mexico City. He is not going to be happy with our weather when he gets back!

I have an unrelated to anything question to ask. Since I am older then dirt and don't really get out all that much. Does anyone know what is going on with distilled water? I have a need for distilled water for my C-pap machine and have easily purchased it for years. I have noticed the last few weeks that distilled water is leaving the store shelves at the speed of light. Drinking water is going at what seems like a regular pace, but, places like Walmart that put out over 20 feet of industrial sized shelving have been sold out in just days after it is filled up completely. Is there any fad that people have heard of that uses distilled water as it's base. Is it being used as drinking water because it contains no minerals, but, is basically tasteless. Nobody ever sends me the memos on this stuff and I am curious.

I know some people run humidifiers in the winter, maybe they are using the distilled water for that.

Edit: I see figgy had the same response I gave, I guess I should read all posts before responding. I think I read somewhere that sometimes people use distilled water for their coffee pots so it gives coffee the "pure" taste without any of the pesky minerals. So maybe there are a lot of coffee snobs in your town, shopping at Walmart.

Don’t forget things like Neti-pots for sinuses too. Only distilled.

Not a lot of stuff creeps me out about the human body but the Neti-pot does. I walked into the teachers lounge one day and one of our teachers was using one and it grossed me out.

Mexico city is kinda cold, minimums were at 8C when I was there.

Almost 60 degrees tomorrow. 1 - 2 inches of rain before 5pm with 40 - 60 mph winds tomorrow. GIVE ME SNOW ANY DAY.

Oh no — you aren’t supposed to do them in public!! When I use mine, I won’t even let my DH watch!

How about some ice? I hate winds so you can keep them

We have icy roads today. DH said the guy driving in front of him was driving too fast, hit ice on a bridge, and slid across the other other two lanes before stopping. Fortunately, no cars coming the opposite way. People slow down!!
It is supposed to get above freezing and turn to all rain in a couple of hours. No orange ball in the sky today.

Major pet peeve of mine -- idiots who drive in rain/snow/ice at the same speed, as they do on dry roads.

Well, my order is a little different from yours and Wooly Mammoth (aka @Goofyernmost ).

2. Moore

 

[MinnieM123]

Mine too Minnie!!

Another pet peeve is about the idiots who don't completely clear off their vehicles after a snowstorm, and then drive down the highway and huge chunks of snow and ice have crashed the windshields of cars behind them. Very very dangerous and stupid--every year I head about these accidents. Yet in MA, the "fine" for not cleaning off your car (and another car gets hit) is only $40!!

I have an iron, too. I break it out a few times . . . a year . . .

I suppose it could be, but, humidifiers have been around for years, why would everyone switch to distilled at this point. Whatever it is, I guess I just have to make sure I have enough on hand.

I was unaware of this in my area, but I rarely buy distilled water. You can make it yourself. Not saying you'd want to do this all the time, but in a pinch, here is the easy way to do it --

Disgusting!! Why would a person do that in front of others?!
