That doesn't always work for me at least I get some Christmas shopping done

Inside the shops was a mad house!! But no worries! They opened the bypass and everyone was going the same direction so it was easy peasy. We booked it through the bypass and walked pretty fast to the buses and got there just in time to catch the first bus. All three of us stood up, even the two year old, and everyone was civil and respectful.

This four hour before your flight magical express pickup is for the birds. We're here with over three hours to spare, but we're so tired we tried to pay for our Starbucks with our magicbands

Ha ha ha!!! You and my brother (living in NC) both sounds the same--he and I were chatting on the phone the other day, and he was complaining about the temperature down there. Said it wasn't supposed to be that cold. Meanwhile, I had to remind him that he grew up here in New England--I told him he had lost his "edge" . . .

He had willingly and intelligently lost his edge. When ice forms on the edge it is useless.

Wait until you try it at your local Starbucks. Yup heard of it happening

How are you holding up in the cold? I hope there's no additional pain.

You need to take some responsibility for this weather disaster

Exactly, it is 23 degrees here this morning. This must stop or the south shall rise again.

Thanks for your concern... I have to say that the exercises are finally seeming to have some affect. The entire situation is way better, not gone completely, but, much, much better. Now if it were only warm enough to go outdoors I might feel wonderful. I have, indeed, lost my edge, but, I am not at all upset about that. It is an edge that no one needs. Are you listening @MinnieM123?

At least you have degrees. It's down right dangerous here. FLORIDA I wonder if my kids will miss me when I run away once it's safe to leave my house

I have a rotten cold. Not the worst one of my life, but still annoying. It has kept me inside all week. Of course, I am also avoiding the single digit temps that have been reported the last few days. Tomorrow I will have to go out. It's banking day, and I need to pick up a prescription at Walgreens.

Good morning everyone. If anyone is interested, I created a thread on the Chit Chat FORUM ....not on this thread. It is Steve's Southern Getaway Photos. Basically the independent thread is a handful of photos I took in Savannah GA and Atlanta as well.

That sounds delish

It is delish, and it's only a couple of blocks from our house, so we can just walk there when we don't want to cook. You can order take out or stay there, but they only have a few tables. That's where we went a few months back that had the new waitress who completely messed everything up. Then we came back a month or 2 later and were surprised to see her still there, and she wasn't much better. The owner had to come and double check our order, which the gal had gotten wrong, so the owner corrected it. I wonder if she was let go...she wasn't there the other night and there was a new kid who was better than she was after 2 months! We go there about once a month...inexpensive and good food.

The warning posted "Do not go outdoors between sun down and sun up except for an emergency" You know it's bad when churches cancel Bingo

No!!! Not the BINGO!! Anything but that! Stay warm!

Redfrield NY had 63.2 inches Tuesday into Wednesday

Our news showed a man in Pennsylvania diving off his porch into the snow in a swimsuit and then scrambling back up to the porch and into a hottub.

 

[Songbird76]

But, but . . . it's winter!! So pretty --

Hrmmm...I'm usually with you on how pretty snow is, but even I have to say, this picture doesn't look anything like 63 inches of snow...

See the difference?

Unpacked my Christmas gifts today, found the 3 books I received.

Good book choices. I have the map and the poster art one and have checked out the Immagineering one a lot from my library. You might want to have a magnifying glass handy when you look through the map books. I pulled out mine so I could see a lot of the details on the maps.

Now I'm scrolling looking for the outcome of @ajrwdwgirl outcome with her hubby's phone call down to his family...time for the rest of the story.

Sorry I didn't update yesterday. Hubs called them after we got home from seeing Star Wars and they were having the kids open presents so they said they would call him back. They did call him back about 30 minutes later. I was upstairs but hubs said that they had him on speaker phone and he mainly chatted with his nieces and nephews, uncles, and his brothers-in-law. I guess his oldest sister (the ring-leader of the group and the one that wouldn't respond to the Merry Christmas text) did talk to him for a little bit, the other sister did not say much but I guess she was in the kitchen cooking so I guess that is acceptable. Hubs said no one said anything about us not being there and the conversation was normal. They did ask him to say the meal prayer for them since they were getting ready to eat at the end of the conversation. Both of his sisters did post lots of pictures on Facebook later (they normally do) and they both talked about how much they missed their parents and wish their parents could have been there (which they normally mention too) but neither mentioned missing their brother in the posts, hubs said that stung a little. I did not give their posts a like.

Later when the adults opened their presents both brothers-in-law sent a thanks text to Brad for the presents (we had their names and they had ours, the sisters had each other.).

I do think that if the uncles had not been there the phone conversation would have gone differently. But the sisters especially the older one likes to put on a show like she is a good Christian person.

Very!! I'm exhausted. If we do Disney again for a longer trip, we're definitely scheduling a no park day in the middle!!

I'm glad you had a good vacation, get some rest. Did you book your bounceback vacation before you left?

Sympathy, colds are a pain. Feel better soon!
