Woot! Friday night...bring on the weekend!

[babygrl1234 6]

tap-Amen to that!

PJTP-we have no snow, it's 12 degrees, but they closed the schools. I have never heard of closing school because it's too cold to go.:wink: Does this mean I can call in to work because it's cold?

Of course you have to work. :yikes:

But then again I have already made my commute in the lovely -11 degrees we have going on here. Which did not really hurt until I had to walk in from the parking lot and the -27 degree wind chill hit.

And yes Susan if it was 40 degrees tomorrow I could definitely go outside in shorts and feel comfortable after all this cold. After all this frozen mess anything above freezing is going to feel like the Bahamas.

And apparently my kids do not have school today either.

At least now that gets me out of work early!

Why yes. Yes it does. Do I need to call your boss for you, Slim?

Yes, thank you.:wink:

Of course you have to work. :yikes:

I won't go! I won't go! ***pounding fists on the ground in an obvious tantrum***

Did they let out of school just for cold when you were growing up? I know we went to school in the snow when I was a kid (mind you, it wasn't a LOT of snow).

It seems like there are a lot more snow days and such now than when I was a kid. I understand the snow days, especially since my children go to a charter school so everyone drives and there are no walkers. But I can't understand cancelling for cold. We drop our kids off at the door and they are escorted to our cars after school. There is no walking, there is no waiting at the bus stop. The roads are not bad. But I guess I'll take anything that gets me out of work early. But in my district we never cancelled unless there was over 6 inches of snow and even then it was iffy. Now I look this morning and they have cancelled as well. Lucky kids today never have to walk 2 miles in 10 inches of snow. Uphill both ways.:wink:

I'm starting to wonder if all of my neighbours are deaf. At least once every couple of weeks, one of them will play crap music RIDICULOUSLY loud....disrepectfully loud late at night.

I go and knock on the door to ask them to turn it down and they always just seem to be at home, alone and drunk and/or stoned. There are 3 of them that seem to take turns.

Or maybe I'm just an old fuddy duddy spoil sport. But darnit, its after 11pm and I need my sleep.< /p>

ROFL:lol: I said that to my son this morning!

Todays weather:

WIND CHILL VALUES NEAR MINUS 30 EARLY THIS MORNING. THE EXTREME WIND CHILL VALUES WILL EASE OFF LATE THIS MORNING AS TEMPERATURES RISE AND WINDS DECREASE TO 20 TO 30 MPH. EXPECTED HIGH MINUS 10.

Hense the need to plug in the block heater in your car every night, and to pre-warm the car before leaving.

pjtp - port pain.

i'm not going to start a thread - but if anyone gets port pain, get it looked at. was in the hospital all morning for my hernia, and i had a slight infection by my port site. my surgeon says left untreated can lead to erosion - caught well in time.

i go back in 2 wks to double check & make sure it's cleared up - just thought i'd give an FYI to my posting pals!!

I don't want to scare anybody unnecessarily, but remember that Lap-Band "bible" that people posted about last week that I wanted to buy? I just got mine in the mail the other day and I happened to browse the section on band erosion.

It said that some people experience bad pain at the band site, but it also said that some people don't experience pain there but instead experience it at their port site as the infection travels down to that area. It says that if you experience inflammation or pain at your port site, to get the band checked.

Again, could be nothing, but it is a sign that the doctor/author seriously recommends getting checked because of the infection that could harm us from stomach content leakage. :wink:

Wow.......Ok, I know I'm small-minded, but who whips out the camera and photographs their poop? Besides Susan, I mean:biggrin:

Not me that's for sure. Just thought I would gross everyone out though :wink:

Brandy you're not far from me at all. I go to Eugene a lot because shopping on the coast really stinks. I just made plane reservations and I am flying out of Eugene to go

to Phoenix. That Alligiant air has some great rates.

Cool! I am a little dissapointed that they took out our direct Vegas flights though they were only 49 bucks and we could fly out Thursdays and return Sunday for just a few hundred on a weekend. It's funny people come here to shop cause I never find stores I like!

Tap~~ The wedding plans are going great thanks for asking! I just have a box to mail today and pick up the rings that are being sized and I am all done!!

I can't wait to be laying on the beach :yikes: 20 days lol

she - my neighbor is acres, acres away and he bitches about my dogs doing their business in his cow pasture - like their contaminating it. he is beyond annoying.

snow days - had to snow for schools to close.

ljm - i'm very glad you got a date & hope the lil' bean plays nice allowing you that time...hospital neighbors - ugh, i would have a hard time getting any rest.

beth - interesting point in the "bible" ; i'm not going to let any odd feelings go by w/out having it checked out.

brandy - how much fun planning a wedding. i myself and dh eloped to vegas; it was a blast!

it's a way quiet friday!

[Brandy~ 2]

DH and I have been together for about 8 years and have known each other 12.. figured it was time to get married.. and a great excuse to go to Hawaii :yikes:

Texas - Having lived in Texas for years, having a native Texan father, husband and son - "I" think it's because Texas was it's own country and don't like being lumped in with any one else.

snow days - I don't recall ever having a snow day while growing up. I lived in northern Canada, northern Montana, norther Idaho and Washington. We also had to walk up hill both ways to school in the snow - but we had no shoes so for traction we would wrap barbed wire around our feet.

Our school here at the canyon has had to cancel school for "cold" when the furnaces went down - it was too cold for the children. I can completely understand that - I get too cold and my brain shuts down.
