Dentist trip is Friday.

Oh yea you said that my bad..sorry..one day morphs into another nere.

I had lunch with the old people in my Sunday school class. They do things all the time. This was my first time participating and sorry to say I fit right in

We've had over an inch of rain since yesterday and my sister in Virginia has had 5 or 6 inches of snow. I'm tired of the wet but will be praying for it in August.

Sunny I go for a cleaning in a few weeks but that's a nice visit.

I have not been to the dentist since July of 2023 when my husband made it clear we would not be going back home to the dentist. I have had one recommended to me, but I really do not want a new dentist. SMH

Yea, I think about going to those dinners, but like you implied, I do not think I am old enough. LOL

The only thing I hate about the dentist is the cost. If I had the money I'd have false teeth, no more aches or pain.

I always enjoyed the company of older people....probably because I'd fit right in as well Bestofour.

There is a major storm on its way here, at least 16 inches of snow for today. All schools are cancelled for the whole province.

Yep

I agree about the cost. And my dentist from home, didn't take X-rays of my mouth too often as she should since I had so many for my various operations.. and When she did take the X-rays, there was never a hidden problem. and she was cheaper than most dentists in the area.
Well we do not have dental insurance and so as you say, cost is a factor. I

Glad school is cancelled. Your Grands are now safely at home, so yay !!

I got my ham and beans lunch today ! AND I saved half of it to have for lunch tomorrow. 😇

I went to a Galantines lunch with 3 friends from high school. Fun.

I do have dental insurance but sometimes I think for all the premiums I pay I'd be better off just paying for my visits but if something catastrophic happens I'm better off with the insurance.

We've had an inch and a half of rain in the last 2 days. My sister in VA has had 6 inches of snow. Ginger, in MS, has had buckets full of rain.

We too can have dental insurance thru our supplemental insurance. But we would need to get dentures every year to break even, so we do without.

Sheri, you are lucky to have had your Galentine's Day. I know you had a wonderful time. It makes me smile to think of it.

Our rain begins on Saturday.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Galentine's? What a great way to celebrate.

I am home from the dentist...the roads were TERRIBLE. School was cancelled again today, what a mess outdoors.

Yes, I would love a Galentine's day get together!!

So glad that you are safely home ,!! Bad roads scare me.

Yesterday I went to the Cheesecake Factory with a friend. I've been out to lunch 3 days this week and I'm tired of it. I need to go so I won't get nuts being by myself but I'd really rather stay home.

Carol, what's wrong with Cindy?

I truly do not know. You are friends with Cindy on here, right ? If so what you read is what I read. I was hoping she would message. me to to tell me what the problem is, but she has not. Sorry to say.
I too wish I knew.

Did I miss something??

There was a message on FB. Apparently she is in the hospital. She posted a photo of her breakfast this morning. Apparently she is on a liquid diet.

That is all I know.

Did Cindy post on here?

I saw her FB post too but I have no idea what's going on other than her heart rate was low.

We're in for icy weather on Wednesday. I'm supposed to get my hair done. I hope I get to keep my appointment.

What you saw on FB is all that I know. If you go back sha posted that she had some test or another..but I am sure she messed up the acronym... Sorry, I wish I knew as well.

There was no school Thursday and Friday due to storms. Yesterday was a holiday(it stormed anyway) and today it is still snowing so school is cancelled again. The kids are really getting a snow break. That's what I get for saying we need snow coverage.

LOL, yep. We need to be careful what we wish for, huh ??

No school here yesterday for Presidents Day, and no school today because of the weather, and Likely no school tomorrow. Val's school was closed Thursday and Friday because of sickness, yesterday for the holiday and will close today after lunch and most likely tomorrow as well. "They" say it will probably be too cold for the snow treatment chemicals to do any good, so no school it is. I even had ti cancel a hair appt. Oh well, that was no loss, really.

Rod & Henry just came back from the Dollar store getting milk and dog treats.

Good morning. The sun is supposed to shine today, I hope so...we haven't seen it in over a week.

Around 5 or more inches here...perhaps more...sun is shining but I don't think that will help today. It is 12*F right now. We may get more today but hopefully the roads can be cleared for tomorrow. Our subdivision is hardly ever cleaned off unless a local home owner wants the road cleared off so they can get to work, or if sometimes the town plows have a few spare minutes.
Trash was supposed to be picked up last night beginning at 8 pm ( instead of 2 am) but they didn't come at all.

The kids and my DD are all home today. AMI days.
(Alternative Method of Instruction). But that will not affect my DD as she does not have a classroom.

5 inches of snow is a lot where you live isn't it?

The kids here have missed so much school and they still have not set up the 'home learning' system they were supposed to. They should have left the 'Covid instruction' as an emergency based education plan but of course, if it works...they do something to stop it.

Yes it is a lot of snow where we live. Further south they have major flooding instead. I will take the snow, even if it comes with ice.

The weather guy said on his way into work yesterday the roads were wet with melted ice and snow. That surely turned into ice last night.
No school for either schools in my family today. My DD on the East coast had school today though. I have to wonder how they get the roads clean in that area with all the multi lines of heavy traffic. But I guess they do somehow.

Sunny, yes, your schools should have left that plan in place for in case it was needed.

Aubry's school was out for winter break anyway but other schools were out Monday, Wednesday and again today. It's been snowing since yesterday but very little of it has stuck to the ground. It was 23° this morning at 7 but it's up to 31° now. Next week we're back in the 60's. So crazy.

Monday here was President's Day after that, there was no school for the kids the rest of the week. Valarie had a half day Tuesday as they had been off since the Wednesday night the week before. No virtual learning today either. The grade school kids here were told online, by their Principal they were to do 30 minutes of reading, various cleaning chores ( like putting away all toys they had gotten out during the snow days, etc.) And to write a nice note to their parents. I have to wonder if the parents read those "instructions" to their kids.

below 0*F today when we got up, 13*F now at 9:40 am. Sun is shining though.
So at least we have that.
Sheri, we too will be into the low 60's next week. Crazy weather indeed.

One of my bathroom lights broke. It's an LED light, which says it lasts for 45 years - not so, so the entire fixture had to be replaced. Spent a large part of the day at Lowe's trying to find a light fixture I like. While there I bought a rug I didn't need. Since I've had the upstairs bedrooms newly painted I'm going to change everything up. Maybe get new blackout curtains too.

LED lights do not last 45 years. At least that is my experience with using them. Not that I even like them. But then can we even buy any other kind any more ?

Have a great time redecorating your room.
Blackout curtains are the best !

Good morning.

Bestofour, Nothing lasts as long as it states, there is no quality in anything anymore. Did you end up finding a fixture in the end? I have to replace a fixture over my kitchen sink but I just keep forgetting about it. It takes specialty bulbs that are costly, I'll definitely buy the new fixture when this bulb burns out.

I bought a new set of black out curtains many years ago at Walmart on clearance. I've washed them in the bathtub every year and they are still like new. They were good quality I must say.

Junie, we can still buy the old type of bulbs at our farm store.

I did get a new fixture and I still get regular bulbs. We went through a spell when we could only get the ones with a squiggly shape but not sure what happened, but regular ones are back.

I have black out curtains now that I had made several years ago but want different ones. I want to change my whole room.

Sunny, I will be sure to look at our local Rural King (a farm store) next time we go. Thanks for the tip.

I have 2 sets of black out curtains. One pair are brand, in their package, new but a few years old. I have not used them yet. That pair I have hung. I really should wash them, I have them in the kids bedroom so since I am not in there much I am sure they are at very least very dusty.

Just got back from the 3 girls 9th birthday party. I sit here wondering how they got to be so old ???

Been up for about an hour. It is still cold outside.

Good morning

9 already, time does fly. I hope you all had a fun time.

I am starting my house cleaning today, by the time spring rolls around I have other things to do. Today is a 'wash the ceilings' day...I'll have a sore neck tomorrow.

Gosh 9. How can that be?

Do the curtains really work as far as sun and noise? You got them at WalMart? The ones I have now that I've had for years work pretty well and I hate to have to take stuff back.

Today I got a shot of cortisone in my foot that I hurt during the wreck in June. Sure hope it helps. It's not unbearable but it hurts when I wear anything with a heel.

Sunny, I can truthfully say I have never washed a ceiling. I vacuum the corners of the ceiling sometimes but have never washed them.

Was 64° today.

I have no idea how those little babies are 9 years old already. And guess what ? Heidi has contacts. She just got them. She got them early as she told her mom she was worried about her glasses falling off while she was playing basketball and then someone stepping on them. She has wanted them for years, but her eye Dr. wants his patients to wait until they are 10. But they are letting Heidi try them.

I lovey room darkening curtains. The ones I have up came from Kohl's. They keep the light out, and on the winter they keep out extra cold, and extra heat out in the summer. I love mine

I have not ever washed ceilings either. Corners, an occasional wall, and of course my ceiling fans, but no ceilings.

Sorry for your foot, Sheri.
How long will the shot last ?

Low 50's here today. Still snow on the ground though, so not that warm yet.

Bestofour, I hope your foot feels better soon. The curtains work great for light, not sure on noise though. DD got her curtain set from Amazon.

Junie, that is young for contacts. I hope they solve her worries.

We are supposed to get a melting day today, calm before the storms ahead.

Good morning.
Yes 9 is young for contacts. The Dr. said they like to wait until at least 10 years old, unless the parent requests them for the child. My DF requested them. My GG has to wear them for 2 weeks then go back to the Dr. He may have to adjust the prescription. I also think that gives the child a bit of time to decide they don't want them yet after all. BUT they did say contacts would be a better thing for her eyes than glasses with what here eye problem is.

We are getting a few warmer days this week (a preview of spring the weather guy said) then back to colder weather. But at least the temps will hopefully not be in the minus degree temps..although I guess ,-10 is not so bad when you consider what Sunny often has, huh ?

Later today it is supposed to be at least 60*F.

Sunny has weather all over the place Junie.

Yesterday it hit 42*F, this morning we woke up to freezing rain. (I kept GG home even though they never cancelled school))...now it is snowing. If I wouldn't drive on icy roads than I have no intention of putting a child on a bus for over an hour.

I agree. You made a good call, keeping her home.

Good almost noon.

Good morning, the sun is shining. A few flurries in the air with a storm for Saturday. I hope it is sticky snow...it is icy outdoors.

Yay for sunshine !! That is always a p!us. Especially this time of year.

It was supposed to have rained last night. I think all that happened was the sidewalks almost got wet.

Good morning.
