    Hi hermits- we are getting a big storm here in NM today, lots of snow! Weather moved in Monday and left the first layer of snow on ground tuesday morning as I drove to work. Then a big storm moved in today and it is still going on. Expected to drop 3-4 inches in the valley, 10 or more inches in the mountains. This is a good thing for us as we desperately need the moisture for our water supply and fire risks. Never mind the plants and trees that need a good watering. We have snow forecasted through the week, a break, and then more next week.

    Writing class is almost done! Got my feedback on my short story last night and some work to do to finalize it for the final read next week. Our group may form an ongoing writers group to meet periodically, an idea I love!

    My doctor called in my mammo and ultrasound orders. I go see her for my next 6 month follow up next week and then the mammo follows on the 28th. Trying to remain steady as it all approaches.

    Sally- good to hear your rad treatments are almost done. No doubt you have had the emotional ride with this as well as all the rest. You may feel tired for awhile after the treatments are done. Be sure to get plenty of rest. The fatigue will lift with time.

    Cami, Teka, Blondie, Lilly, Markat, FL, Dutch, Ducky, Slow, Kathy, Spookie, CC, and everyone else out here this week, hoping you are having a good week with whatever you may be doing or getting through. Our thread has gone through some tough times lately, but love and kindness will get us through.......

    Jazzy I love that idea that u might be meeting anyway---what a pleasant way to spend time with something of u'r interest. And good for the snow--u guys really need it--we don't but I'm glad it finally going u' way. And yes this thread has bit a little bumpy, but a lot of threads go thru changes after all there are so many personalities, but we'll get thru it We're basically a strong bunch, we've been sad together, alone together and happy together and we'll continue and will continue to welcome new people and people back. No problem.

    Hi hermits- as the Beatles said once long ago "all you need is love." Today is the 50 year anniversary of their first trip to the US!

    Ok Cami, I'll be offended just for you. You hussy, you!

    I'm getting fed up with living in the TUNDRA!!! Jimmy came home from work at 1:00 am and the van got stuck at the end of the driveway. So he helped me walk down the drive so I could steer while he pushed. That wasn't working, so I got out to stand there while he got the van unstuck.
    I took a step and suddenly the icy snow broke thru. So now I'm standing in snow way above my ankles. Then I wasn't standing anymore! Just sitting there on the ground, covered in snow, can't get up without sliding more.....Butt frozen! Finally called the Fire Dept. They were awesome! Got me right up and helped me walk to the door.

    I'm not hurt, but pretty sure my butt is frost bitten!

    ducky, that's about how I looked, I'm sure. Nothing hurt but my pride. Thank God it was after the neighbors were in bed. DH asked the lady firefighter if she thought I might want to come back out and play in the snow. She told him, "I don't think I'd mention that to her right now." Lol.

    Soteria, glad you are not hurt!

    CCFW, good luck with your techie call today.  Why are you switching email accounts?  Did I miss a major security debacle?

    Lily55, thinking about you and hoping the virus takes a hike quickly.

    Hi duckyb1.  Do you have power and heat back?

  • duckyb1
    duckyb1 Member Posts: 9,646

    Yes, and yes........................it was out for 12 hours...................the new storm I sailed through.....probably because whatever was wrong on my "grid and lines" was taken care of with the outages from the storm 2 days before this ice storm..........

    Many here, about 400,000 have no power..........yesterday all my kids were out........today just 1 still has no power.........but he has a built in generator in his home......it works just like the hospital generators.....as soon as the power shuts down, his generator kicks on......when he built his house he thought of everything........so even without the power from the Electric Co. he is ok..........

    Lily.........get well soon girlfriend......take care of you.....for us.

    Hi hermits- I went to a professional organization event today (called Women in Technology) and reconnected with a whole lotta people I have not seen in a couple years, and even longer. Ran into a group of folks from a previous job here and sat with their table. Fun! And saw a woman who was my business coach and a few others I have not seen since the summer of 2012. 

    People were asking "where have you been, is everything okay with you, etc?" I said I had family issues and other personal things going on and just taking care of things I needed to, and then we moved on to other conversation. It was nice to feel welcomed back into a community of folks I enjoy and have missed!

    Winter still lingering here.

    I got a notice from Yahoo that my email may have been hacked. Had seen it on the news too. Had to change my password now everything seems to be ok.

    ducky, yep, looked just like that.

    Cami, yes, I love me some hot firemen, but one of them was a woman. Very kind.

    Glad Soteria did not get hurt.........with all that snow it probably cushioned her fall.............
