@MinnieM123 Those houses totally encased in ice were amazing.

Yah, the people on the Cape and Islands got hammered. Up where I am, we didn't have that (not near the ocean), but you should see the height of the snow piles everywhere!!

And, day 3--most schools are still closed down today. Too dangerous for the kids walking on streets that already have high snowbanks everywhere, and traffic trying to get by (many sidewalks still not plowed). Roads are plowed but snow-packed, with some icy patches, and all are narrow. We're supposed to get another 4 inches overnight, and then another storm Sunday night into Monday with more snow. The funny thing is that we went for most of the winter with no snow, and it's like now we're getting a season's worth of snow in about 6-7 days!

Today I'm not taking the train in (too unreliable based on yesterday), so I'll go wait for a bus out on the main road. I don't want to miss another day of work. Temps this morning are 2 degrees again, but will warm up this afternoon to 25.

@StarWarsGirl95 , for your portable snacks, what about pretzels? It's not health food, but it's not horrible either. It may take the edge of your hunger, if you have (for example) a last class of the day, and plan to just go home right after that.

Those look good. Where do you buy them?

According to their website, Illinois can get them at Meijer, WalMart, Mariano's and Jewel and their other products elsewhere like Target.

There used to be pretzels in the variety pack that I would take with me. The only problem is that they really do make you super thirsty, but if I could find a thing of snack packs with nothing but pretzels and then alternate eating them and something like Goldfish, that might work.

Good to know... I will have to check it out locally.

Wrong type of cheese (it's supposed to be gruyere) but not bad overall

I make it a point to never eat pretentious cheese. Rule of thumb, if I cannot easily pronounce it, it is off my list.
And don't even get me started on cheese with bright blue/green MOLD running through it and smells vaguely like vomit.

Yes please.

nope. They had different foods, but not surf and turf.

but they had a steak with wine+pepper sauce that was delish!

It's offered during both formal meals during our cruise so I'll have to try it once.

Exactly.

Lady fell very ill with bad vitals. A Doc that actually had good diagnostic skills asked her if she had been eating licorice. Turns out she ate a pound of Dutch salt black licorice.

Messes with kidney's blood pressure, hormones, drops potassium and interferes with meds.

Note this is real black licorice not the fake stuff.

Only been up for 3 1/2 hours and I'm already ready for a nap.

And this is the obnoxious schedule day where there is no time for naps.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

I dont mind trying other cheeses. thats just imho.

Mmm cheese! I love hot pepper and blue. Not together of course.

INSIDE OUT GRILLED CHEESE

When everyone is done dieting and enjoys grilled cheese we should all make this at the same time and droll over and devour. Likely would make for some interesting posts.

I just made an interview for early next week. It turns out it might snow the day before. But they still don't know yet.

I bet the New Ghostbuster Movie due out next summer with an all female cast could be fun.

Mina Kimes, (ESPN) commented and tweeted:

An all-female Ghostbusters cast is awesome. it means girls no longer have to dress up as the secretary (like I did)
