Probably covered in flour ...

Hahaaa...!!!!!
After hearing about the closets (and almost falling outta’ my chair, BTW), I asked about the cost of the entire project, and he said it’s still piling up, as all the bids aren’t in yet, but, he’d keep me posted...
But, if their closets alone are $7.2 million, the cost for the entire complex has gotta’ be well above $50 million...!!!!!!!!!!!

If I had that kind of money I still don’t think I would spend that much on a house. Fine for them and glad people like that can help you make a living though.

I don't. I have the Gecko. No offense to Farmer's, but I am very much a fan of the Gecko.

Been with the gecko for 20 years now.

Yeah we have been in the negative here with negative wind chills for awhile. We are having a break tomorrow though but we are going to get up to 9 inches of snow, our first big snow storm of the season. After that back to sub zeroes. Wednesday is supposed to be a high of -10 with -30 windchill.

Hang in there

Hang in there

I need that too. I live in the same state as ajrwdwgirl, but in a different region. Usually most or all of the state gets a below zero day at some point during winter.

I'm going to hit anywhere from 7 to 12 inches of snow starting Sunday night to Monday afternoon. That amount not bad compare to some other parts of Wisconsin at time frame.

We are going extremely cold also. It is going to be 1 degree outside as a high on Tuesday with a low of 19 below zero. The region I live in worse lows in past years.

Depending on who you talk to, the high is going to be anywhere from 5 below zero to 11 below zero with the low being 15 below zero to 17 below zero on Wednesday.

I don't know what to say. Sorry you have to go through that. Best wishes.

Thanks.

I rather go with the snow at this time of the year now instead of mid April. I am going to a Expo/trade show in Mid April this year that is located in the same region of the state I live in.

I had to deal with a snow storm in Mid April last year was the first snow storm that late in April since 1973. I was not alive in 1973 when that Snow Storm hit. What happened was a fluke last year and it affected attendance for a local expo/trade show.

I was going to make homemade spaghetti sauce, but that got pushed to tomorrow. It got pushed back because the meat for the sauce didn't get taken out of the freezer and I got a pork roast at the store on a reduced for quick sale for $3.50. Couldn't pass that up!

Sounds so tasty. Lucky Is Jack that he was able to get som. You are a good dog mom to share.

What made it even funnier to watch him, was that he was licking off the mustard first, them devouring the pastrami!

I just saw the Philadelphia 6 o'clock news. The forecaster says the dreaded Polar Vortex will hit our region this Wed., Thurs., & Friday.
Oh boy

I think we're also getting that colder weather toward the end of this week as well--we usually get it about a day after it hits your area first.

 

[MySmallWorldof4]

Hey... *I* don't even have Farmers Insurance, so no worries!

 

[MySmallWorldof4]

I had s chuckle about your comment, regarding owning 3 cats at home. The reason is that it reminded me about something silly hubs said to a cop (this was back when he was in his early 20s--years before I knew him). At that time, he had a daschund that he used to let run around off leash (city ordinance required dogs to be leashed).

So one day, the animal control officer caught the dog running around a neighborhood, and he asked people if they knew who the dog belonged to. Some guy told him he "thought" it might belong to (hubs), who just happened to be walking out his front door. The cop walks over to hubs and asks him, "Do you own this dog?" To which hubs responded, "No. She just chooses to live with me."

I would love to hear how the rest of that story went.

 

[MySmallWorldof4]

I can’t begrudge them that, as I wouldn’t mind being one of them...!!!!!

Truer words....

Oh boy

It is going to be dipping down way south too. Seems only that the western part of the country will be spared. Seems unfair. If we have to suffer, they should too.

We are lucky today in that we have central heat in our homes, but it makes you wonder how people during the 1800’s used to manage that. Thinking “Little House on the Prairie” times. Those were some really tough people. No wonder they never smiled in pictures. Also makes you wonder why they just didn’t head south for a more comfortable climate.

Yah, if I had that kind of money, I'd get liposuction!

Nah, here's what I'd do: I'd hire @donaldtoo to design a nice rustic cabin in the woods (in a snowy area) for me. Then I'd hire @ajrwdwgirl to be the chef and cook pulled pork sandwiches and macaroni and cheese for dinner. @Cesar R M could stop by and take pictures of wildlife. We'd then mount his pictures in frames and decorate the walls of the cabin. @figmentfan423 could sew custom, Disney-designed clothes for me.

I'd invite all the rest of you here for a big winter wonderland celebration, and hire @Mr Ferret 88 as the social activities director. The winner of his puzzle competition would get a free vacation at the Ferret estate in Guernsey!

According to hubs, the cop actually burst out laughing! He was then given a verbal warning to keep the dog leashed, or the next time the dog would be taken to the pound, where he'd have to pay a fine to get him back.
