What good is the bubble wrap if you don't wear it??

Good point especially since I am the Empress of Bubble Wrap. Nobody would need therapy if we all had an endless supply of bubble wrap.

Beyond sad it will be extinct shortly. Somethings just are not meant to Go Green.

That sounds like a fabulous weekend to me! Although I need to do 68 - I'd be roasting at 75.

I'd die at 75 too. I have been comfy at 68 for a good decade year round a/c or heat. Though this year I am running a little chillier and have pushed that thermostat up to 70 a few times. At night I have frozen everyone else out for years. I'll push it down to 62-4. Dang memory foam in this bed retains way too much heat.

Rant

Oy. I genuinely feel for anyone struggling with weight loss, it is obviously difficult. Still I am beyond the believability line with Oprah and her commercials just irritate me. Over the decades the gimmicks, books and expertise she has followers buying into all the while she is living proof that there are no one size fits all solutions. Just irritating how some earn their daily dollar.

Rant over.

Add 30 to that 45 for me.

I'm trying, I'm really trying to do that but our very own cold miser @MinnieM123 must be gumming things up. I don't blame her after December's excellent weather but I've had my share of cold for this year. I need spring!!!!!!

 

[Figgy1]

It is 30 here. By Sunday the high is to be 18 and getting colder after that. The Frozen Slushie that looks like snow but isn't is still hanging around, hard as concrete. Have I mentioned I hate snow, cold and want to reside in Florida (lately) ???

Sympathy like and a warm hug.

 

[Mr Ferret 75]

Yeah, especially 'cause I don't care for peanuts. I remember when we'd fly to Cali and many on the flight were ultimately going to Hawaii we were served Macadamia nuts.

The bag was shaped similar to single serve sour cream use to be in. I think there were 3 or 4 nuts in the bag.

More than 3 or 4 nuts in the bag we call "the chit chat thread"

Kids won't do parades , either. I love the pictures. I only get to see the parade on the way out.

That's the one good thing about my kids getting older, if I want to watch a parade and they don't I can send them off to ride something while I watch in peace

 

[Figgy1]

speaking of weather, wish me luck. tomorrow is expected to rain lightly (40% chance, and tomorrow 60%)

Good luck. If my knee was in better shape I'd be doing a reverse rain dance for you. If you get a chance please take some Potter pics. heck any pics would work I love all of yours! Have a magical day!

Hey I resemble that! BTW how's your Nascar countdown going?

 

[Figgy1]

I'm going to go into hibernation on Thurs. and Friday. I'm pulling my curtains closed and pretending it's not snowing. The house temperature is going to 75! I'm doing two pj's days! I should be good! Plus a margarita to keep me warm!

Good luck and stay warm and safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Figgy1]

Well I didn't fall on the ice in the driveway this evening but I've twisted my foot. Tiny little patch of black ice from a downspout.
Buried it in table salt.

Sympathy like. How are you feeling?

 

[Figgy1]

I had to google that...

Sympathy like

^^^^^This We recycle, compost, led lights, ceiling fans that can be adjusted for heating or cooling, super efficient heating and appliances, my house is insulated to the max, push lawn mower but some things should be left alone

 

[Figgy1]

Good morning one and all at least it's 15 degrees warmer this am and still no snow in sight. I'm keeping my fingers crossed it stays that way.

 

[MinnieM123]

I tend to leave the drapes closed when it is snowing too

Haven't been around on the forums much lately, but I just had to jump in for one quick response to your comment. I hope you can at least leave open the drapes for "our" favorite dog, Walt, for his staring window in the livingroom. I suspect he loves to curl up on "his" sofa and watch the pretty snow fall.

i hope you're enjoying the cold and are good busy!

She is a longtime passholder. She isn't all there upstairs so some CMs turn a blind eye to her shenanigans, which she does a lot and shouldn't.

I googled her...wow...crazy that her shenanigans have made her famous. At least in the Disney world. They really shouldn't let her do that, though! She probably mostly does it because they let her.

And that is what Special Services are for. If requested I'd meet a plane, pick up unaccompanied children, disabled passengers, blind, deaf, dementia, and they'd come hang with me in my waiting room where I could keep an eye out for changes in their flights. The kids got put in a room behind me 'cause we were responsible for children flying unaccompanied. I'd take all their boarding passes and line them up with departure times and then kept checking monitors to make sure nothing got canceled, gate changes, time changes. I'd move their assigned seats around if I didn't like where they were randomly seated depending on their needs. The UMs always got put all the way up front in their given section so the Flight Attendants could keep an eye on them and they were generally the first passengers to always be pulled off the flight at its destination by another gate agent. The worst was when the kids connecting flights got cancelled or they missed them and had to wait 'till morning. 'cause guess who had to stay with them? I couldn't leave until the morning crew came in at 5am. Yep huge burn out factor.It got old fast.

Now you at that time being deaf I would have put you on the next flight out no matter if it was ours or someone else's and had someone take you to your next gate, ticketed. I would have bump'd someone else to get you the heck out of my room. Nothing personal, I did what I needed to do to get these special service passengers out quickly from my room.

Did that happen a lot that kids' flights were canceled or they missed their connections? I imagine that wouldn't be fun for ANYONE. And how do you decide who to bump to get a special needs person on the next flight?
