I've also shovelled lots and lots of snow this past week, but I like being outdoors. In a geeky way, I always have this feeling of accomplishment when I clear out the stairs, pathways, etc. It just makes me happy!

That's how I feel when I suction out baby's noses.

Another plane crash in Asia. Unbelievably, this one is more or less caught on a dashboard cam.

We have about an hour or so before the snow starts all over again.

Last nights snow was not bad to shovel not nearly as deep as the weekend snow and I used the snowblower for the long driveway. It was cold but there was not wind. Woot!

Fentanyl patches (really should check the spelling on that) are prescribed to him for chronic pain.
They are applied to the skin, and worn just like a nicotine patch. They produce a steady, time-released narcotic pain medication, so that you are generally "on top" of the pain, rather than "chasing pain".

Aaaaah, but they don't make you high. Unless of course, you cut them into thin strips and chew them, or light them on fire and inhale the smoke for a very brief, very intense high.

The doctors up here are moving everyone off of the patches, except for terminal cancer patients, because people are dropping like flies from unintentional overdose.

More than I ever wanted to know.

OMG! How do people think this stuff up??? Imagine the first person saying to oneself hmmm lets cut this up and chew it for a while or burn and inhale it to see what happens. Difficult to wrap my brain around.

Was he injured that he has chronic pain?

On the plus side, when I'm agitated I like to organize.

My cleaning lady will be thrilled tomorrow.
And Penny loves her new box.
Win/Win!

Me too. I rip apart closets, reorganize rooms, rearrange furniture. I tend to zip around the house when I am upset or very angry about something.

I've mentioned before my love of cheese curds from Wisconsin.

For Valentines Day they are pink.

I am having a very carppy day, on multiple levels.

When my brother ends up in jail (and hopefully he will), I will take comfort in the fact that we have probably saved him from the grave.

I bailed him out one final time last month, to the tune of $1721, under the explicit condition that that was the final time. My heart is heavy ... but my conscience is clear.

If any of you are prayer warriors - I need God to send my brother Mark to go to jail before he OD's. Hopefully, it will be his actions that get him arrested, rather than ours. But if necessary, we will do what we have to to save his life.

Sympathy like.

I'd fall down and go boom!

I'd break something.

Firefighters in Greenfield Wisconsin shovel a driveway of a man who had a heart attack
while shoveling. They through their FB page have started a campaign of
SHOVEL IT FORWARD to bring awareness to neighbors that might need some help with the
snow.

They have also have been able to bring some additional awareness to their drive for Peanut
Butter donations they are seeking to feed the hungry as Peanut Butter is high in
Protein and as my fellow Peanut Butter lovers know filling and yummy.

Goal 50,000 jars of peanut butter.

We now have four totally unrelated cases of measles in Toronto.
That number, of course, is expected to grow within a week.

unrelated?
I wonder, because I know a single child infected like 12 kids back in phoenix after the Disneyland Trip.

If it spreads so easily, the disney contagion might have spread to a lot of places.

seen it yesterday night...
the "roll" makes me wonder if they lost control of the plane way high.
So far 10 dead and some guys rescued.

but some things I noticed right away..
the pilot managed to dodge and fly between 2 buildings, tried to roll to prevent a direct impact with the highway and then hit the river.
Pretty sure that if it hadn't hit the river.. everyone would be dead..
