We are lucky today in that we have central heat in our homes, but it makes you wonder how people during the 1800’s used to manage that. Thinking “Little House on the Prairie” times. Those were some really tough people. No wonder they never smiled in pictures. Also makes you wonder why they just didn’t head south for a more comfortable climate.

They had fireplaces inside and kept warm. I'm thinking they didn't move, because maybe the land was at a better price for them where they were, or the (non-winter months) climate may have been good for specific crops. Some may not have hated the winter, while some others that did, might not have had the money to move.

According to hubs, the cop actually burst out laughing! He was then given a verbal warning to keep the dog leashed, or the next time the dog would be taken to the pound, where he'd have to pay a fine to get him back.

At least he had a sense of humor.

Yah, he was lucky.

Yah, if I had that kind of money, I'd get liposuction!

Nah, here's what I'd do: I'd hire @donaldtoo to design a nice rustic cabin in the woods (in a snowy area) for me. Then I'd hire @ajrwdwgirl to be the chef and cook pulled pork sandwiches and macaroni and cheese for dinner. @Cesar R M could stop by and take pictures of wildlife. We'd then mount his pictures in frames and decorate the walls of the cabin. @figmentfan423 could sew custom, Disney-designed clothes for me.

I'd invite all the rest of you here for a big winter wonderland celebration, and hire @Mr Ferret 88 as the social activities director. The winner of his puzzle competition would get a free vacation at the Ferret estate in Guernsey!

Sounds like an excellent plan.

I just saw the Philadelphia 6 o'clock news. The forecaster says the dreaded Polar Vortex will hit our region this Wed., Thurs., & Friday.
Oh boy

Polar Vortex has been the PC term the past couple years for wicked cold weather that used to be the norm by in the day. Like how snow used to be the normal and this year we only have 10 inches.

Pulled pork and bacon sandwich on sourdough bread and homemade Mac and cheese for dinner. Wish you all could have joined us.

Well hearing “polar vortex” is way more exciting than “cold front”. They do need ratings you know.

Sorry my hubs has already earmarked the leftovers for his lunch. He doesn't always share.

Even with my employee discount, they are just a tad higher than State Farm... however, at my work, as someone said with Geico. Our claims service is phenomenol, and worth every penny imho.

I could knit!

I had a hot pastrami sammie with mustard today for lunch. Stopped into this local sub shop (that's our regional term for hoagies), and they had all kinds of different things on their menu. I love small, local places run by multi-generational families. They're all either working behind the counter, or in the kitchen -- and all yelling at each other in a different language. That's a sure sign that the food is good there!

Brought some of the pastrami home, because I couldn't finish it all. Gave it to my dog, who absolutely loved it!

Hahaaa...!!!!! To both the local sub shop family and Jack...!!!
We call them “subs” down here too, BTW.

My girlfriend from the east messaged me all concerned about us maybe getting 6 inches of snow... and the cold temps.... I had to laugh because 6 inches is really not too much.

You got me in the part "We must hire Cesar, so he can also go to cruise next year, go to europe next, then back to WDW again"

 

[donaldtoo]

"filthy rich" levels?

Hahaaa...!!!!!
Yes, filthy rich.....!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Yeah we have been in the negative here with negative wind chills for awhile. We are having a break tomorrow though but we are going to get up to 9 inches of snow, our first big snow storm of the season. After that back to sub zeroes. Wednesday is supposed to be a high of -10 with -30 windchill.

Sympathy like.
Sunny and clear here today with a predicted high of 65...

I didn't either up until a couple of years ago. I haven't used the wheat flour in almost a year now. My favorite is the almond flour. It is so versatile.

So is coconut flour

 

[Figgy1]

Pretty!

Thank you. it is a rather easy project, once the fur is cut.

 

[Figgy1]

Uh................... sure.......... we are dating, it can get carried away

Just not too far out

My dh says if we're ever in a position to have you design a house it has to be from the kitchen out

At the Pearly Gates of Heaven, you mean? (Of course, I'd be in the express line.)

cough, spit, cough. That's the express line for mental health needs
