So, we got gyped with the snow last evening. At first, it was up to maybe 5 inches in 2 hours--coming down at a very rapid clip, not to mention 50-60 mph winds. (The city initially had out 131 truck plows and sanders trying to keep up; but with all the rain that immediately followed, it knocked down the snow height to maybe 3 inches at the most.)

A bunch of areas scattered throughout the state lost power though, due to high winds and heavier snow on the power lines.

(Areas that got around a foot of snow were out in central west, and up north into NH and Maine.) Oh well, hope they enjoy their winter wonderland.

We will cancel our trip thenMaybe another time. @Ken Adams unpack your cases.

I don’t usually post things on my phone but I thought I’d try this. I’m hoping for two pictures to show up when is my itty-bitty little tree. nd the presents there in or I should say there under. View attachment 516963View attachment 516962
The Santa clause ornament that my parents said they gave me when I was one making that 71 years old.

Nice...!!!
OK, I know you’re a big Beatles fan, and I see 2 albums in the first pic. Abbey Road is a no-brainer, but, even after a Google search, I can’t identify the one on the left...?!

We came down to Hilton Head Island for a few days. Staying in Sea Pines at Harbour Town. Breakfast on the patio but it was just a little chilly. Here is the view, not too shabby but my wife prefers ocean view. This will be fine for a few days.

The problem has become some of them are now showing as local numbers

Many of mine show as the same area code (local) too, but, again, if I don’t recognize the number, I simply don’t answer. Important calls I don’t recognize have always left a message.

It's called Rock N Roll Music. More importantly, @Goofyernmost - please, please, please store your records upright.

I love those cookies too. So easy to make too. Why wouldn't your mom make them?

That's the one cookie I'm not making this year

With all the calls I've been getting from the schools the past couple of weeks that wouldn't have worked. Tomorrow should be the last round of those calls. Now I hope I don't get too many from my dh's job if somebody can't find something during the day my phone gets called so they don't wake him up

Pur CFA is always packed and the wait is never long. By us they also do curbside. You place the order on the app. When you get there they have marked parking spaces. You just go into the app and let them know you are there and what space you are in. They then bring you the order to your car. It is pretty cool. I prefer that to the drive thru, although from experience the drive thru is fast. Also, CFA employees are the most pleasant people. It is a well run company. While I don’t eat their food, some members of my family love it.

Yep, have never been disappointed by anything at any of their locations...!!!

@MySmallWorldof4 , do you get your pets any Christmas presents? We usually buy a few treats for Jack. If he could speak, he'd tell us to forget the toys -- just come across with the FOOD!!!

FOOD for Jack, CASH for me...!!!!!

So Tony, all my vinyl is stored lying flat and stacked on top of each other. Is that causing damage?

Over time, it will cause them to warp.

@donaldtoo We have a friend who works in the Chick-fil-A corporate office just south of Atlanta. Went down and took a tour there a few years before the founder died. Truett Cathy was a truly nice man. He invited us into his office on the upper floor. It had balconies that opened up to the outside at about treetop level. The office was nicknamed Truett's Treehouse. He also had some of his car collection displayed at the headquarters lobby and there was quite a collection of Remington bronze statues too.
We got to see the test kitchen as well.

CfA is always lined up here too. Ours is about 3 mts down the road. They are the most organized takeout place ever. You get in and out quickly. We have only two lines. They have super-nice employees too!

Indeed...!!!
We have one about 5 mins. away across the main freeway from our neighborhood, but, it’s further down the freeway than my exit from the office, so I decided to give that guy my business since it was more on the way home...and, now I want some CfA...!!!!!

Ok, thanks. I'll correct my ways when we get home. Maybe even play a few I have not got out of the sleeve in a long time. Lots of classic rock in that stack, including an unopened Street Survivors bought the day it came out before it was pulled to change the cover.
