That is the standard argument down here in the south, but one must realize that cold down here is at worst 25F and that only happens once every 10 years or so. Most of the time as soon as it hits 40F parka's, wool hats and mittens suddenly show up everywhere. I've had that situation where I was willing to burn my house down just for a little warmth. I will admit that it is easier to put on enough clothes to stay warmer, but not always possible to take enough off to cool down.

The place where I get my hair cut won't even let you bring anything inside that isn't your wallet and keys. I bring my phone, too, but it stays in my pocket, so they don't care about that.

No purses allowed. No hair wash, no dryers.

They won’t even spritz your hair to detangle it, hence the detailed instructions about conditioning within 24 hours and removing all knots and tangles beforehand.

It’s a specialty cut for curly hair, done on dry hair.

You've spent enough years in northern climate to have this sentiment. I may have thought the same thing last time it dipped down into single digits here.

I don't even want to see that. I'm sure that everyone just instantly freezes in their tracks and stay there until the weather warms up. I have to admit that after only about 9.5 years down here, the 20's and 30's tend to make me shiver. That's coming from someone that once stood out at the base lodge at Mt. Mansfield, in Stowe, Vt., directing buses, with the actual temperature of -25F with 30 mile an hour winds with an open jacket, no hat and cloth sneakers. (Wind Chill -59.8 F) I did have gloves on and I didn't stay out much more then 15 minutes. To me, what was a marvel was that people were actually skiing that day. The gondola's were blowing out at a 45 degree angle and not able to be run, so they were riding up on an open chairlift. Talk about a sick obsession. I'm pretty sure that most of their faces fell of by the time they got back to the base lodge.

The update is finished, but now my internet is running incredibly slow. We've had problems with it all afternoon and evening, though, so it's probably not related to the update. Around 3pm we lost it completely and couldn't connect for no apparent reason. Lasted probably half and hour. Ever since it's come back, it's been pretty spotty and slow. That's why I originally restarted my laptop in the first place, to see if that would help. Nope, it didn't. But it did do a 2+ hour update instead, and I had to reset my color settings on my taskbar because the update changed it to white. It was too bright. I had to change it back.

Oh, I also finally got that Mickey puzzle framed. It was quite the process. First of all, there aren't many frames that are 20.5 x 25 inches. None that are even close, actually, that aren't tons of money. I finally found a cheap poster frame at Walmart that's 22 x 28. Then by the time we got around to do an order pickup, it was out of stock. Couldn't order it to be shipped, either. So we had to wait a couple weeks for them to get it back in stock. Finally we get it, and there are four cracks in the "glass", like something was sitting on it. I figured we weren't going to get a better frame at this point, so I was going to live with it. They aren't terrible, and the frame was only $12. So I finally take the cardboard off the back, and flip the display paper around to the back in order to make a white background. The problem is, you could see right through it to the picture of a guitar it had. So that wouldn't work. My mom got some large paper from her school to see if that would work, but I couldn't get it cut right, even with measuring. And it was construction paper-like material, so it didn't look right. So finally I find poster paper at Walmart for pickup that was 22 x 28. Ordered two of those in case one was bent or something was wrong with it. Well, we get the two sheets, and they rolled them up and put a sticker on them to keep them rolled up. A sticker. On poster paper. Dumb idea, Walmart. I managed to get one to come off cleanly, but the other one ripped the paper. And guess which one I ripped? The one that wasn't bent up too much, or that one that was bent up quite a bit? Yeah, you guessed it. The one that wasn't bent up too much. But I was done trying to find solutions, so I just used the bent paper. Some of the bends were covered by the puzzle. But you can still see some. And the puzzle covers up two of the cracks, but you can still see the two smaller ones.

So long story short: It's not the best framing job, but it's what I ended up with.

That was a very long story to not include a pic. 😂

When we did the puzzle we did it on the tag board I wanted to use in the frame. So when I glued it I just slipped wax paper around the edges of the puzzle so there wouldn’t be glue marks on the tag board and the wax paper slipped out fairly easy. I got my frame at Walmart too probably then same one as you. I also used a silver marker and wrote Quarantine puzzle 2020 in the bottom corner of the tag board. I framed it up early June.

We were also missing two pieces when it was complete. About a week ago my dog was chewing on something and kept gnawing and spitting it out. And guess what? It was one of the missing pieces! Too gnawed for try to hit it in now. Kind of funny though!
