Something About Nothing ... #12

[keishashadow]

Yep, lucky or not Mac.

Shoveled and cleared about 4 inches of very icy snow. We're still below freezing, and still snowing. Little one complained when I dropped her off early. Yeah, I've done enough sitting in school traffic. I am a nice mom sometimes. Not too bad traffic and quiet. So I am happy. Hah, learned to open more entries this time. Yeah, crazy people do come in ya know. Teleworking, not me this time. Guess I did not clear my car quite enough. Car set off parking alarms every time I stopped in traffic, until the car warmed up enough to clear, just before I did park. Smarty car. And yes, car, I know to be careful, it's cold out. And a hehe, the news guy said to slow down because of the road conditions, then his guy driving said traffic is running fast. Yes, I am a Northerner. Accident report then followed that exchange.

Mac, stay cuddled up. Glad you are home. Good thoughts your way.

Morning Keisha. Yeah, the Falcons didn't get robbed, they actually played almost as poor at the other birds. We'll see what team wins this week-end. The Vikings have come. No matter, any tickets left were sold out in minutes. Boo Birds are at the ready. I'll be settled in watching the game in comfort. It's going to be at least about freezing this week-end, so not as cold as the last game, but I don't have any interest in attending in person. And no, I did not have the flu, thankfully, one of my brothers does have it though. Was just a cold virus, that went after my sinuses. I feel much better. Took about a week, which is around the average time for a cold to run. I too did not get the flu shot. Little one did, she had to, as working at the hospital.

Time for tea. Or maybe coffee. Hopefully someone made a pot of coffee. Or brought donuts or food. A girl can hope.

Later homies.

No shade cast to your Eagles lol. No dog in that fight.

Frustrating to see refs repeatedly making questionable calls across the board (cough, cough the Patriots game). Refs are the final authority, judge & jury. Would like to think no bias/preference extended. More akin to witnesses in a crime/accident, five people can see 5 different things sort of thing, but there's been lots of head-scratching by the fans this year when watching the NFL games.

Hi All!

Well.. not enough snow to close work, but enough to make me annoyed.

@Charade67 Congrats to B getting to be a clown. I have done a lot of community theater and I miss it a lot. Good times and long lasting friends.

@keishashadow I hope your minor surgery is quick and painless!

@Lynne G Today was a tea/hot chocolate morning

I have to work at GameStop tonight.. It's 11:30 am and I am already trying not to fall asleep...ugh.

 

[Lynne G]

Oh I agree Keisha, the referees can make or loose a game. I am not a huge Eagles fan. I bleed more black and orange. Not a peep from those Fly boys. Oh well, someday for them. But hey, from the same state. And a hehe, little one was wearing a Penguin shirt the other day. The clerk didn't want to serve her. Both my kids have Pitt teams jerseys and shirts. We are a sports family, not just fans of the home town ones. Hope your minor surgery goes quick and painless.

Eek, working tonight Chuckers. It will be a long day for ya.

Is it lunch time yet?

If you go to see the Chicago Cubs play at home, don’t wear the opponents apparel

Chances are if you do, you’ll end up wearing beer

I speak from experience as I wore my Cardinal tee

 

[macraven]

Been watching the weather channel
It’s lousy everywhere

Our local weather man states we will be in the 60’s on Thursday

Trey and I are enjoying our snow day doing a Jurassic Park marathon in honor of the 25th anniversary...I still like the first one best and why can't I see the T Rex without thinking of plunging down a big hill and getting soaked?

I was totally NOT expecting the soaking I got on that ride last week. I chose the middle seat, second row because it was totally dry. (The boat had come back empty so that may have been the reason). When we went down, the 4 people in the front row ducked and I was soaked. It took me over 3 hours to dry because there was no sun that day.
At Universal Hollywood, they have the ability to change the level of soaking and they show you on a 'soak scale' at the entrance to the ride. I thought UO would be able to do that and tone it down because it was horrible weather.... apparently they can't.

 

[Charade67]

Still snowing here. We are watching the Disney version of the Three Musketeers.

Keisha - I grew up in Georgia so, sadly, I am used to the Falcons not winning.

BagOLaughs - Hello. I haven’t met you yet. I came on board a few months ago.

Chuckers - Thanks. B is really excited. This will be her first community theater performance that isn’t part of a summer camp.

Macraven - Usless trivia - I once sang the national Anthem for a Cubs/Braves game. I was 14 and it was with my church youth choir. It was my only time at Wrigley Field.

Back to the movie.

 

[tink1957]

The level of soaking varies, sometimes we barely get wet and others we are totally drenched. It might have something to do with the weight of the boat and passengers or where you sit or like your experience with people ducking...who knows? It's fun whatever happens

I think that is cool !!

Hope your team won that game

 

[macraven]

Chuckers I really do like the JP river ride but sometimes I take a pass on it when I see a lot of peeps come off it drenched

I don’t care is my hair gets dripping wet
I can’t handle walking around the parks with wet underwear/socks

 

[Charade67]

I don’t really remember, but I think the Braves lost that game. This was back in the summer of 1982.

We didn’t ride JP, but did ride the Pope/Bluto barge and the flume ride back to back. We immediately left and went back to the hotel to shower and change. We were completely drenched.

 

[Chuckers]

@macraven Yeah.. wet underwear sucks... but I wear Sketchers GoWalks and they are meant to be worn sockless. They dry pretty fast too... I walked in them all 7 days and not one blister. They're amazing.

I LOVE both of those rides! Unfortunately, it was not appropriate weather for the barges and Ripsaw Falls was closed Although after JP, I had thought about going to ride the barges since I was already soaked.. but my shoes were dry and knew they wouldn't be after the barges.

 

[Charade67]

School is closed again tomorrow. I think the snow has finally stopped.

 

[Lynne G]

Lucky B Charade. Little one has normal hours. Snow has left, just ice now.

Was 31 this morning, coming home, 27. Hello Arctic air, we go down to single digits tonight. At least it does not last. Close to 40 on Sunday.

Kids are watching who knows what. Guess older one’s friends are not online to night. His back to school was today, and now pile of new books.

 

[Charade67]

B is actually upset about this. She hates missing school.

 

[Lynne G]

Charade, Yeah, I am sure she is. Fun to be off, but at some point, days have to be made up at the end of school year. City kids were off today. So they already have 2 more days to make up that little one does not.

Ah, snuggled on the sofa, hoping DH walks home tonight.

 

[Monykalyn]

And now to soccer practice-indoor thankfully! And kids have school tomorrow. Up to 40's tomorrow, 50's Friday andn60's Saturday.

Got mouse mail today for June trip. No magnets for a while showing countdown though. DS said he wants another color magic band. Because 4 isn't enough...

And got notice that our Regional SERTOMA meeting this October will be a cruise! As my DH will be Chairman of his club and I will be president elect of my club I'm thinking the clubs will help with that (we set have money set aside in clubs budget for regional and national meetings). 4 day out of Galveston. I almost called as soon as I got email to put deposit down but figured I should talk to spouse first - he's out of town and I've been too busy today.

Schumi - did make my fish tonight. It's just so easy to make and the kids love it.
Only a 2 day workweek for me this week. Going to get hair done Friday

If you go to see the Chicago Cubs play at home, don’t wear the opponents apparel

Chances are if you do, you’ll end up wearing beer

Ugh I don't want beer on my shirt! Worlds finest chocolate meeting is back downtown Chicago this year and cubs/cards game is night before meetings start. Was planning on going as I've not been to Wrigley. Think I may have to sell a kidney to afford all the travel this year

 

[macraven]

Wriggly field is an experience
Go for it

I liked it better before they fixed it up to how it is now

Watching the news and scrolling bar across the screen is showing all the school closures

I don’t get it..... not snowing and what we had was gone today, no icy roads on the main drags
It’s been cold but temps are starting to improve
Upper 40’s and weekend will be in the 60’s here
