Guy needs to get his bread and milk!
Just put the milk outside in God's giant refrigerator. But hide it so the people who didn't buy milk don't steal it.
A friend from TN called and asked me how am I surviving the “house arrest” in NY. Told her no one sees me drinking my illegal 33.8 oz soda.
In the wintertime, I use the trunk of my car as a freezer and my mudroom as a refrigerator. I give the fridge 4 months off. How’s that for being “green” LOL.
Hm. right now it’s minus 7.2F. My “refrigerator” is in deep freeze.
aha thanks
You must take it out of the trunk and put it in the freezer to thaw out. :-)
Make sure I have enough cinnamon and eggs also. I make the kids French toast.
As a kid, best thing that I remember about snow in the NE, was sledding and my mom always had a chicken in the freazer for soup.
Don’t go out?! Screw that, it was a winter wonderland. Snow tunnels, snowball fights without fear of lawsuits, all the neighborhood dads would wet down the snow so we could play ice hockey.
The fear the media and loca government created is another example of the pussification of the American male.
LOL.yup!
Especially among the lactose intolerant (thus the run on toilet paper, too).
Ha! NC!
I was raised in Northern Michigan, the UP, so I’m a Upper.
Came to NC by way of the Army and stayed.
You are right about the folks here. Snow or Ice storms and Hurricanes bring out those last minute shoppers in droves.
The News always lets you know a few days in advance and I stock up then but most try and get everything as the wind starts blowing of the snow starts falling - and of course the shelves are mostly empty.
I think that is par for most of the east coast.
Don’t forget eggs & TP!
AYYY-MEN, brother .... amen !!
Native Bostonian, grew up in the 50's when REAL snow happened and the transister played GOOD music.
Ma looked like Donna Reed and girls teased you by lifting their dress a little.
Candy bars were huge and only a nickle and if you kicked the Coke machine just right, you got a free one.
“Candy bars were huge and only a nickle and if you kicked the Coke machine just right, you got a free one.”
And if you got caught (guilty), dad gave you a nice shot to the chops, explained what you did wrong and how it is a reflection of your character and then took you over to Mr. Kaplan’s store to say you were sorry.
An hour later he was helping you wax the rails on your flexible flyer and taking you to the hill for a day of sledding, no love lost.
I was thinking milk sops.
They had their own brand of fun and music which only made me occasionally quip, "Y'knowww .. the way WE did it was .. " (or words to that effect)
But I had to stop any of that reminiscin' stuff and just let 'em be.
But gawwwwwww-LEE! we had fun from morning to dark on Saturdays and all I ever got was "where were you ... go and wash for suppah"
I’m not a prepper to the extent many Freepers are, but I learned to be well stocked after my first winter on my own. That winter was brutal. Snow up to our eyeballs plus subzero temperatures for almost 3 months. Today, I have enough paper products and other non-perishables to last till the rapture. The freezer is well stocked too, but in the event of a power failure, I have two primary staples — peanut butter and crackers. Nutritious and don’t need refrigeration. If it’s cold enough, my unheated garage works well as a refrigerator.
You can always put the milk outside if there is snow.
Native Bostonian, here too. Grew up in the 40s. You want to talk about REAL snow?? ( And yes -—I walked to school uphill both ways!)
