    Thank God the Jersey shore is not getting the brunt of this.  We New Englanders are kinda used to the snow, it's the winds that will cause problems!!  Hoping for electricity.  If I disappear, that means no internet :(

    Hi, spent the morning catching up here...Sheila, thanks for the big HI and squishy hug.  (((Sheila)))  I can't get on Mon-Wed due to working 14 hour days...
    Ray, wow, it is hard to digest all that is going on in your life.  Too many changes at once; and now the insecurity and pain caused by DH...as if BC isn’t enough.  I hope Jacob feels better today.  It sounds like you are prioritizing and that is good.  Sorry about your job...are you leaving for health reasons? Or other?  When my 3 DDs were small, I had a cake business from my home.  All my business was in the summer and I had no AC or extra fridge.  I’d be in all day and kids wouldn’t get to the beach...finally I got a job in a bakery/deli where I only decorated...no baking, no cleanup.  That was in 1980s Surprised
    Diane, I hope your roof is done....it is important to finish a roof job straight through...we had ours done in a day, and I missed all the fun while at work.  When will you be done with all?
    Sandy, that dinner sounds really nice.  It is nice to hear when thing are being done on a local scale - it's real people who are being helped.  I have a bunch of movies on my laptop including Lincoln and Silver Linings...DSiL shared - they are cuts that are sent out for previews for award shows.  I think I'll watch Lincoln this afternoon.  Sounds good!
    Speaking of TVs, we bought a 50" tv in early 1990s that just won't die.  It is boxy like a refrigerator.  I am waiting for a reason to get a new skinny smart tv.

    Ducky, I agree...kids are costly...we put 6 through college – some public, some private.  Last one  graduated 5/12 and now I am trying to catch up.  Let’s just say I’m driving a car with 220,000 miles on it and my house needs new baths, kitchen, trim, landscaping, etc.  It was overwhelming; but worth it.  Kids are doing well.  You must be so proud of your kids and grands. You will find time with DD; I know it is so hard when change happens.  My DD is recently divorced and it's changed things.  Gotta make it new.
    I  hope you get the lower end of the snow.  I am in the blizzard path and am not amused.  No desire to be housebound or without power. 
    Sheila, Chris, Linda, are you ready for this??  I was going to get DH a generator for Christmas but didn’t...now am sorry.  We have a large kerosene heater but it’s gonna be really cold Saturday.
    For internet, I have my smart phone which can be charged in the car.  So I can check in for a short time.  No sleep last night...up since 3:30 AM...2nd night in a row with only 4 hours.  Work today (if I get up) until mid day.
    Be safe everyone, and please stay warm and check in! 
    Joan

    You east coast gals keep warm and take care.  We are due for rain today and a clear weekend.  I woke up at one this morning and listed to the rain coming down and running off the roof.  

    I have been feeling under the weather since Monday but it really came on in the middle of the night.  Now I have the head and chest congestion. I have to go to the optometrist today.  Hope all this congestion hasn't screwed with my eyes today.

    I just checked my rain gauge and it shows we got 3/4" this morning.  That's a lot for somewhere which has an annual rainfall of less than 8".

    Good for you Sandy!!  I hope that helps.

    Snowing here  :(

    Joan, you should have bought the generator!  Last year we lost power twice for 5 days and then 7 days.  No water, no stove, no heat, nothing!  Wwe bought a HUGE generator that does most of the house.  So nice to be able to flush toliets! (Not that the boys know how to do that).  Glad you can stay warm.  The last power outage we had, I did use my phone too.  Thank God for small things!

    Feel better Meece!

    Still just raining in the Philly suburbs.....what a dismal day. and yes, the weather people are going bonkers over this storm....oh we'll, it's the first big one of the season, and for 2 years in our area, so I guess they can get excited.

    Guess I better get my sorry ass out of this chair. Off this IPAD, and do something productive. Especially since I can't close the hamper lid...lol. Plus I am a couple days to no underwear, and I have more then any human needs. Actually I have gone into the "ok, I'll put those in a separate pile (smaller size), until I get desperate", which is getting close....lol......so off to the washer I go...... Be back......

    OMG thanks Ducky for reminding me that I may not be able to wash & dry if the power goes out...
    Linda, you are right, I should have gotten the generator.  We had to hunt for our snow shovel.  We have gas stove so we can cook stovetop; and our water is piped in by water company so we don't lose water -- just HOT water! 
    I fell to sleep and awoke at 10 and rushed to work...now 1 PM and way past time to get on the road.  I have 30 miles to home.  As soon as I get home I will take a 20 minute shower and wash hair.  Then warm the house...cook some food and put on a movie.
    Meece, I saw that west coast storm and it looks nasty.  Be careful!
    Crazy weather....even if it is cold, global warming is putting more moisture in the air which feeds rain, snow and tornadoes. 
    Sheila, snowing yet??  You could be in the big snow range...
    Hugs & be safe!
    Joan

    PS - my campus is covered with invisible icy slush and some snow right now, and temperatures are dropping.  But we're on a hill and when I drive (slide) down, it should be above freezing on the highway.
