I was going to say with the way her tribe eats, she better have a LOT of rats.

I don't make meat often but there's a reason I don't buy boney meats such as chicken wings

Forgive me while I vent a little.

What a horrible weekend... (week really) Hubby's back and developed new issues and he has to get an MRI and xrays... only we are still waiting for the hospital to call with a time... it's usually super quick... so I'm not sure what's taking so long. Gotta call today and find out.

Saturday our electric decided to die in the whole upstairs and part of my kitchen downstairs. (basically one circuit) So we have been without power part of the weekend... the two saving graces are the heat and appliances are on different circuits, and our internet is out because of this, so luckily... the one thing comcast does do right is allow you to connect to any xfinity wifi... luckily the neighbors connection is close enough that most of the time we can still watch tv.

This could be a very costly adventure because we have OLD old wiring... and we definitely need a new box... maybe the entire house rewired. Can I cry now?

Needless to say, no trips for us for awhile!

And... it's snowing like crazy this morning.

Sigh!

I wish you lived closer, I would have sent my dh because he's starting to get under foot. This is the one 3 day weekend he always takes off. His birthday is a couple of days before. Veteran's Day so it's a double holiday for him, double work for me

On the good side, you will have insurance that the new wiring will work and be up to standards.
who knows if the old wiring was chewed or is already expired/damaged beyond safety.

You made a good point, Cesar. If the old wiring was faulty (due to age), that might even pose a fire risk hazard.

YUCK is right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So far we're only maybe getting a dusting to an inch or so but then turning January cold. Sending warm {{HUGS}}, hot chocolate and a spare sling shot

Just a general note to all in the path of Caleb be CAREFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ice will probably form under whatever snow you get.

And why did this not surprise me?

Swap you our rain for your snow

Well, since it is turning into the Alaskan tundra here tomorrow, why not have disney plus to watch?! I went ahead and signed up. The bundle was not with hulu live. A lot of our sports we watch live so didn't want to mess that up. So, we have a 7 day free trial then charged for it -just the $6.99 month. We are very excited to see a lot of the shows they are having.

You got it! Anytime, we get snow, I will send it your way. Really, I don't mind one big snow. What I hate is snow with sub-zero temps. It makes for icy commute for DH. Then, I am stuck in the house until it warms up.

When we get snow it is never a decent amount

No option for the live? That stinks! Would the ESPN stream live?

Just read this after I did a search @93boomer.
The bundle will include the standard, ad-supported tier of Hulu — not the more expensive no-commercials plan or Hulu with Live TV. Presumably Disney will offer a way to upgrade to those pricier Hulu subscriptions.

Yeah that’s what I saw too. Oh well right now I will just pay for all three separately until a good deal comes out. All these are still cheaper than my cable used to be.

We pretty much get up to 12-14 inches in a big snow. The past two Decembers we get the big one then less than an inch the rest of the year.
