I only know from my sisters’ experiences. But the theory on that thread that there are so many people from elsewhere probably has some merit.

I’ve probably told you before that the very first winter my oldest sister was there, fresh out of college, living in Bethesda, she had someone slide into her because there was a half inch of snow.

I avoided the entire area on my trip to VA Beach.

[xsmommy]

yes, forget snow. Foreigners from tropical climes driving in the snow, you can imagine!

oh but this is for you.

The Pharisees on the Left in Congress will brook no apheresis in the letter of the law RE the "Affordable Care" Act .... They'd rather sit back (or outright participate with Obama) as he praises these destructive efforts, while our nation is reshaped --perhaps irreparably-- and what has been truly unique & great about America perishes.

Looks like NYC is going to revert to the 70’s.

There goes the murder rate

Ugh. Doesn’t even look like her.

[xsmommy]

i totally agree, she looks completely diff and not in a good way either.

[secret garden]

Outstanding. A+++

[tioga]

I agree. Perfect choice.

Every time I see the news
I have to shake my head-
Foreign policy should be clear
But is schizophrenic instead

While more of our incomes
Are taken by apheresis now
The emperor begins looking
For still another cash cow

I guess he thinks another war
May improve his image for free-
But in all truth, another Viet Nam
Is what this is bound to be...

A quote that may last until I reach 90.

The young ‘uns don’t understand it.

Did you know this month is named after a famous Roman tax collector, Seizure Augustus? That’s o.k., at first my history teacher cried a lot too.

[secret garden]

A+ for you! Our heat index is 100 today. Ugh. I am grateful that I work indoors.

[secret garden]

Now that’s more like your normal post. :-)

I’m trying to advance from the literary (Mad Magazine) to the performing arts (Three Stooges).

It is humid and muggy here, too, but late August to mid September is usually the last and worst of summer...

It appears that I have enough metal to frame the interior of the nest I have drawn plans for, enough unopened boxes of the ceramic tile used on the bathroom floors here to do the floor of a large bathroom, and enough pine flooring planks to floor about 180 sq. ft-a medium sized bedroom. I haven’t calculated the savings yet, but I’m sure they are decent...

[secret garden]

I love saving money!
