Yes, ma’am, to both. Again, thank you. ‘We cool’, as they say.

We freezing here ;-).

Oh, well, gee!
Maybe you had better remember, that there’s a whole lot of people that don’t know that you are stating a ‘principle’.
Were it that had I NOT gone through that experience, I just might have a very, very, different ‘principle’ about the whole thing, and another one just for folks that spew one-line axioms ad nauseum, which at one time, my ‘principle’ was quite different.
Now? Since you wrote a total of 18 syllables, I forgive you for being of the “newsbyte” generation, and/or the “Mickey Spillane” generation, (write it in two syllable words or they won’t get it.)

That’s 17.
Dear Tax-chick,
Do stay warm, with a mug of something hot and delicious.
We here, in Central Louisian, are watching the freak snow melt, with a forecast of 64 tomorrow, 74 on Sat. with rain, and Monday back to 49.
Since moving to this area, after swimming 3 days due to Hurricane Katrina, it has snowed two or three winters since, including the present snowfall.
The old Celtic calendar states that Feb. 2nd, is the Day of Spring, so I hope that all of this ‘winter clearance sale’ ends soon!
I think I’ll nap with a cat for an hour or so, until my son comes home from school with the car. Our forecast says 60s and raining by Saturday, yuck, and then colder again. But what do you expect in January?
February 2 is also Candlemas, the Presentation of Christ in the Temple.
Dear Tax-chick,
Don’t forget our “rodent-weather-scholars”, either.
:)
Bundle, tea in hand, and stay warm.
Me? Tomorrow, the stairs will be cleared enough, wihout ice or snow, for me to hobble over, and get all my mail. It’s “the 30th”, and it’s still two days, till “the 1st”! So, grab what is in the pantry, until the supermarket sweep happens.My friend across the river is already reminding me that it is near high busy days for all the king cake bakeries, hint hint. There is no finer than a business that survived, which I worked at for a while, than Haydel’s. NOT cheap, but better than anything any bakery locally can do, or supermarket.
We’ll chat again, on other things, so be good.
My calendar says Ash Wednesday isn’t until March 5, so it’s a little early for Mardi Gras cakes.
Congratulations on reaching another month with a payday!
It seems here in Louisiana, (I’m a transplant), that they count “Greek Orthodox/Little Epiphany”, as “Twelfth Night”, and that begins the ‘season’, until the day before Lent begins, which is known as “Fat Tuesday” ... “eat it all, for y’all ain’t gittin’ no mo’ till after Lent!”
(Mini-micro-rant) They shut down, all over the state, all city services, and all business offices in the private sector, too, in observance of an established government/religious day, with no separation of church and state. They still have Napoleonic laws on the books, too.

Oh, I see. I’ve driven across Louisiana, but not spent any time there otherwise.
When I studied business law, it seems like just about ever topic had an “except for Louisiana ...” disclaimer!
