I’m gonna have a problem with them minion images

I love the minion images. I look forward to seeing them every time I'm on. And I'm impressed that they've been posted for at least 6 months now and I've never seen the same one twice.

Nope. It's shoes and jacket off, and then everything else stays on. Went through with my Fitbit and Magic Band on...no issue

weird, always in Miami and Houston.. we have to do the full thing unless we have PRE-TSA.

Good morning! Only -30 with real feel temp of -30. So the good news is the wind is dying down.

Whoa, that’s cold!!

Should be there in a couple of hours, different park, though.

This new smart radar cruise control feature is awesome.

Also, speaking of garbage men....... I could use some advice.....

I started purging back in October. Like a deep purge. All the broken and discarded crap left behind by my ex, plus the stuff I no longer want in my house that doesn't serve a purpose. Including the garage, which was so filled with junk that I couldn't park in it and now has room for two cars! Anything that wasn't donateable went in the trash and recycle. My curb has looked like the Clampett's lived there every week for the past couple months. I keep thinking this will be the day that the garbagemen get angry and break/toss my cans because they're sick of me, but they haven't. They've placed them upside down and orderly back on the curb. They've taken every oversized thing I've put out there, too, instead of just telling me to schedule a bulk pickup.

I don't deserve them. I'm so incredibly grateful for them. And I'd like to thank them. How does one go about thanking garbage collectors? I thought about leaving them something, but then wasn't sure if they'd assume it was trash.

We have a private company collect our garbage. If you do as well, I would call them up and let them know how grateful you are to the garbage men that come by your house.

No work for me again tomorrow. It is currently -19 with windchill -34 and going to get down to -30 or so again with -48 to -50 windchill. As longs as it is sunny and I don't have to go outside I'll be okay. It is supposed to be +34 or so in couple of days with snow and some rain.

Sympathy like. At least it will be above freezing.

Just had to share this video of my pop at his 82nd birthday celebration...and this sense of humor still remains at 86...!!!!!!!

"Where do I get the air?"

 

[MySmallWorldof4]

It's also summer there, lol!

A mere technicality.

I would leave a note for them with whatever you leave....me being me, I'd bake them something, but not everyone loves to bake. But I'd at LEAST leave them a note, and maybe contact the city to let them know how awesome your garbage collectors are. I don't know if they can get in trouble for taking oversized things, so you might not want to go into detail, but just tell them how much you appreciate them, etc. And especially in this cold. If you are home when they come by, maybe ask if they'd like some coffee or something warm to drink?

65 degrees this morning but driving up to Kissimmee where it’s 15 degrees colder

Have fun! Plans for Disney? I wanted to check out Margaritaville when we go down in May, but I am boycotting it because of what they did to Brian.

Don’t forget to dress warmly!

Yeah, he may need a sweatshirt instead of a tee shirt.

For my son? Thank you! He's very happy. He just left the room, clapping and chanting "Sheep sheep sheep!" (Have I mentioned how much my DS LOVES sheep?)

I know, right?

Yep, that was the funniest part...!!!!!
Even now, his quick wit and sense of humor are still alive and well...!!!

They might not have the full body scanners yet. Those scan and then light up problem areas in yellow, and then they pat you down if needed. For me, it's always one or both ankles. I have no explanation.

Me too!! I love them! I have seen some more than once, but only because I've seen some on facebook, too.

Wow!

Right...?!!!!!
I had to do a double take...!!!!!
I always thought (at least in Texas anyway) that a car between 25-50 yrs. old was a considered a "classic" and anything beyond 50 yrs. old was considered an "antique". But, the Texas DMV says this...

Per state regulations, TX antique car tags are assigned to vehicles that are at least 25 years old, are collector’s items and are used for parades, exhibitions and other public events.
