The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

My sister and I cleaned her apartment top to bottom today to get rid of all the little fingerprints and sticky door handles. It actually made me sad to wash the windows and see the marks disappear.
Since we were busy cleaning we decided to put all the Christmas stuff away as well. Traditionally we leave everything up till after 3 Kings but it made sense to do it today. It did feel good sitting on the sofa tonight seeing the whole place clean and tidy.

Maybe it knows you have no solution after binge watching Friends again

Binge watching Friends again? Think for it to be Again I would have had a break in the watching thing. I always go to sleep watching friends. Light humor just helps me drift off and it is a nice night light.

Sorry I should have clarified that it cost $102 for the 4 of us.

Horse of a different color. Here it is a per person charge.

We got a foot. Maybe a few inches more. The town near me got 15 inches. But we didn't lose power, the wind was a nasty little ******. Even today the wind is supposed to be a pain. I was shoveling last night and the snow on the ground kept coming sideways down the street.

Sorry. I hate winter and snow.

They better not. Living With the Land is my favorite ride. I could live in those greenhouses. In fact I wish I could pack my bag right now and go. I would pitch a tent and live happily on the sand floor with all those gorgeous plants.

We'll be your neighbor.

C-c-c-cold!

It's so cold out, sharks are freezing to death

I saw on the news that it's so cold in the south that iguanas were falling from trees because they were cold stiff.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

I saw that, I also read the iguanas in Florida are freezing to death in the trees.
I know I am being selfish but I really hope the weather will be nicer in 12 days when I go Home.

I should have read further.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

MY health issues disagree. I had a lot of trouble living in Mexico city for a year. Specially when temps usually went to 5 or lower Celsius.

This cold is making me ache. Ibuprofen has been my best friend the past few days.

I was just reading an article about the next potential snow expected between Sunday and Monday. I know I shouldn't have looked but I found this quote funny. "Motorists may want to resist the urge to get their vehicle washed as the new storm will mess up roads."

I don't believe either of the two car washes I can get to have opened in the last few weeks. You can't even tell what color my truck is. I have dusted the white film off my windows multiple times cause I couldn't see to back up.

They are calling for snow here Sunday and Monday. I've seen enough of this white stuff. It is actually still white 'cause nothing has melted at all since Christmas Eve.

I saw on the news that it's so cold in the south that iguanas were falling from trees because they were cold stiff.

They may have fallen from the branches but, they aren't necessarily dead. They are cold blooded animals so in the cold weather they "hibernate" at a very low body temperature. That's how all cold blooded animals survive. If it didn't work that way you would never see a snake in the north. The temperature didn't really get below freezing in Florida, just quite cold. It would have to freeze outside for them to actually freeze to death. Now they might chilly to death, but, I doubt it.

OK gang, behind on the thread big time...
So very sorry about all of y'all's horrible freeze.
I know most all of y'all are used to the winter, but, good Lord, I could never live up where y'all do.
Those temps are beyond insane...!!!!!
We'll take our as much as 112+ summer temps...
