I don't know, they are showing the temperatures bottoming out on Sunday and being the coldest day yet!

Oy. I haven't looked that far out. Can you keep it up there? Please? Are the horsey's warm enough?

 

[Figgy1]

We have a feels like temperature of -13 and when the dog came in she was prancing weird. Her little paws got a little frozen. I felt bad for her, so I'm sure she was thinking what that little dalmatian in your picture was thinking.

Sympathy like for you and your baby. Try and stay safe.

 

[Figgy1]

Hope the concert went well!

Thank you! It did and they perform again today and tomorrow. My poor baby hates getting dressed up

 

[Figgy1]

So why not just snuggle up with your honey? That should warm you up!

He was at work, somebody here has to do that

Sympathy like! I hope you and the critters manage to keep warm.

 

[Figgy1]

Yah I agree, Figgy is extreme.

 

[Figgy1]

Yup, time to break out the thermals. It always amazes me when I see people walking along on a really frigid day--and not dressed properly for it. (I love cold, but dress in layers for it.) I saw a teenage boy walking up to the high school, and he had on long shorts and a light hoodie, sneakers (no socks) and no gloves. The temperature was around 10 degrees that morning. He looked like he was really suffering, but probably thought it wasn't cool to bundle up like the Michelin Man!

Add a few more layers and a London Fog puffy coat and that's how I dress for my daily walk this time of year. I love that coat, it's very warm and I'm currently trying to find one like it. It's still in decent shape but is older than James.

 

[Figgy1]

Woof! Sympathy like.
That's definitely not TSSFFBR weather anymore...!
I'd rather have 2 straight months of 105 degree temps than 2 days of -20!!!
Oh...wait.....

Amen

I'm packing and typing at the same time

 

[Figgy1]

But you also come with Tofurkey

I however don't have a smoker or recipes but do have stout bacon

I don't have or eat Tofurkey Too salty, too processed and contains gluten

 

[Figgy1]

Need this for the collection

Me too!

 

[Figgy1]

I'm bundled. I still can't get the chill to go away.

Me either. I'm wearing thermal socks and head to toe fleece and still cold

 

[Figgy1]

I'm holding out hope for some of these allergies. They seem to be making some new headway with the research.
Before it was treating the reactions now it is more research and success in thwarting the allergy. I'd love for my kid to taste some of those things she can't once again.

Sympathy like and then some!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Figgy1]

Well color me curious...what did she make it out of?

And what did/will he give her?

Are they a 'couple' ?

Funny story. My DS 'went out' with a nice, pretty young girl in 7th and 8th grade. Two whole years. Funny they never 'went out' anywhere. Best relationship ever for that age, it was so funny. Over the summer going into high school she broke up with him...on his Birthday at our SummerFestival. Once he regrouped, not a nice Birthday present, he had a date for homecoming with yet another Blue Eyed Blonde. A pattern that continued.

She made it with stone beads and elastic, I think they're a couple and he gave her and one of his best gal pals earrings he got at a buy one get one sale.

My Mom a high school teacher back in the day needed a break too every once in awhile. She called it a
Mental Health Day.

We all need those. Although days aren't enough--more like months . . .

Hang on to the coat if it works for you, because if you try to replace the same style (same company), you might not get exactly the same thing. About 9 years ago I had a long, down coat from Eddie Bauer. It was great. Then two years ago, I bought the same coat, but in a different color. Big mistake. They had cheaped out on the quality of the components (except for the down). I pulled a snap open and the thing ripped right out of the front of the coat. (There were some online comments from customers who also experienced the same thing.) The zipper was not finished off in the bottom seam, as nicely as the older model, etc. Even the material wasn't as strong as the previous one. That company is off my radar now--I'll never buy anything again from them.

(Oh, I didn't return it, because at the time, I needed a very warm coat--I was stuck. So I took it to a tailor to mend the snap area, and he said it was stupid that they didn't line the backing of the snap--the pulling would assure it ripping out of the coat. After that, I didn't use any of the snaps--just the zipper. I replaced just that one snap so that the front of the coat would look the same.

I had a bottle of Coke in the truck. Such pretty structures the frozen block of sugar made. Wonder if it would still be carbonated when it melted.

It always loses all the GAS when frozen, so it will taste super sweet.

I missed roughly 2000 pages. Can I get caught up?

Impossible, this thread churns like 3-10 pages a day.

Yesterday at work I looked up flights to London from Boston. Cheapest was $200 Norwegian Air. Of course they nickel and dime you and it goes into Gatwick, which is not connected by the Tube. And it was the cheapest ticket.

 

[Princess Leia]

It's -1 here right now, probably close to -20 wind chill. I wonder what it will be in the morning?

Oh yikes! Stay warm!

The Gatwick express runs from the Airport to London Victoria station every thirty minutes. The tube runs all over from this station.
