((HUGS))Good morning, GodBlessUSA. How’s it going?

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Morning E.G.C. :)
How are you today? It’s snowing here. It looks so nice. Glad I don’t have to be out and about. I do need to wrap. I’ve been saying this for days. LOL

[Lady Jag]

Got a weather map we can look at?

You will get less walloped than us today for a change. It could be coming in around 2PM.

[E.G.C.]

Doing OK. Sun’s out here. Forecast to be near 60 today.

Thanks, Nana Hope, for today's Pledge. Thanks to you, AfghanMan and Penguin Girl, for your parts in helping keep all of us free and safe.

Good afternoon, beachy...((HUGS))...visions of a quiet Friday have disappeared.
Lots of, "so and so says you didn't pay him for xxxx", and "where is so and so's retro".
So far I've been right each time.

Have a wonderful weekend.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Kathy, how do you pronounce Qiqiqralijarnatuq?

[AirForceMom]

We have Maujaq here in Buffalo NY. Already plowed twice! ;)
Very pretty outside.

[E.G.C.]

((HUGS))Good afternoon, L.J. How’s it going?

[Kathy in Alaska]

[Lady Jag]

It's merely Qanniq here so far. Forecasters are threatening us with up to a foot of the white stuff because heavier snowfall is coming in later this evening.

Glad I got hot chocolate!

[fanfan]

how do you pronounce Qiqiqralijarnatuq?

Kiki-rali-jar-natuk.

I think.

[AirForceMom]

I have plenty of hot cocoa......and a bit of brandy to take the chill off. ;)

Merry Chirstmas to you and family.....

Here's another possibility for the music thread, one can never actually have sufficient bass.....
