PING!!!
Good Morning!
Wow sounds like we are in for a bad weather weekend.
Our electricity goes out at the slightest wind or lightning with an entire weekend of ice I am hoping the electricity stays on.
If nothing more to be able to stay warm. I just finished cooking chicken and hamburgers in case we can't cook for a few days. Hopefully the weather news people are overreacting about this. But we have batteries, candles, food, icemeltingsalt, we dont have a fireplace so no wood.
Those of you from the north any other suggestions?
I'm watching the missing boys news conference ....really articulate step father, very impressive....but FOX is not running it even though they touted it all morning.
What figures?
MSNBC, CNN ran it, but not FOX....
They run every speedchase and car wreck....what happened?
Oops!
I have no idea. They are becomming not only liberal but incompetent.
Pet food and litter if you have pets, extra blankets and clothing in case you lose power, and if you have once room you can shut off and stay in to conserve heat, that's good. ONLY if you lose power, though.
I missed the beginning of it cause I was sitting there waiting with FOX :!
Good suggestions, thanks.
Really praying we don't lose power. You'll know if I lost power I won't be on FR.
Weekend coverage at Fox....worthless!
Do you have any of those little cans of Steno? Some people keep them on hand to keep food warm on a buffet table if they are the kind who entertain often.
I keep them on hand to warm up soup, or anything else I can juryrig into a pot above the heat for warming.
I have a rather 'elaborate' system. I use the stand for the colunder I use when making tomato juice to set the saucepan on. Under the colunder I have the Steno can (set in a tin pin pan) which I raise and lower by using different sized canned goods as the nonflabable base. A couple of bricks would work better, but I never remember to have the bricks where I can find them when I need them.
If you are on a private well, be sure to fill containers with water for drinking. And fill a bathtub full of water to use to manually flush your toilet.
Looks like it will be another glorious day the Lord hath made. High will be about eighty, slight easterly, low humidity, and sunny. Can't ask for better.
Here is the playoff schedule for week two...(sad that I don't have a dog in this fight)
WEEK 2 All Times Eastern

Indianapolis at Baltimore 4:30 PM
Philadelphia at New Orleans 8:00 PM

Well, I've been waiting around with one ear towards FNC waiting for the press conference. Now I read it is over and FNC didn't run it.
I think I will go get my day started.
Just wanted to let y'all know that I will be gone for a few days.............hubby & I will be staying at this lodge & waterpark here in town.........he won a gift card at his office Christmas party and we stretched the $$ amount a bit so that we could have 2 nights.:)
Looking forward to some peace, quiet, and relaxation.
.....and now I must start packing.:)
Morning one and all from a very cold Utah. It was 2 degrees overnight here. It was 9 degress as I drove to work this morning. Yes, I get to work today. I will be soooo glad when this release goes out the door next week.
Now they are re-running it!
I saw it, Thanks.
On another matter: Did you post a link to today's thread at the end of yesterday's thread? I noticed it wasn't there a little bit ago.
