Doesn't look like there is a whole lot to read back through. Looks like it was a pretty slow night last night.

not much It only took me a minute or two

the instructions on how to make a Bee Kite are back there though

We are getting alot of Rain today
and it was freezing rain all night
so everything is a sheet of ice

Tonight is the memorial service up on the mountain
should be a fun drive by 7 when the temps drop again

and 4 wheel drive doesn't really help on ice

around here we just say 4 wheel drive becomes 4 wheel slide

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DRIVE CAREFUL!

I don't know how you do it. That would FREAK me out if I hit a patch of ice and just lost control of my car.

Hi Kathy
are you feeling any better???

Yeah, kinda of.

I just called the dr office and got the results of the bloodwork and it's pretty normal. I was concerned about sugar problems and she said that mine is a 6 and the normal range is to 5.75. However, even though I'm above the normal range I'm not above enough to where they usually start to consider diabetes. They usually start to consider that at 7.

My dr is out of town and I have an appointment with him on the 31st so he may want to do more tests then but for now she said not to worry but to try to watch my sugar intake somewhat.

THat is how I totaled my Truck last Feb was on Black Ice and went Head on into a telephone pole DD was in the front seat and if I close my eyes I can still see her body flop even in the seatbelt
really is hard even a year later Some people say it is still post tramatic stress
but I was trained to deal with that is the fire service so I don't know

Lucky for me DH is driving tonight so that helps

Funny thing is as a teenager and in my 20's I would put my car into skids just to see if i could "save" it

now I am terrified
but 2 head on crashes in 6 years on ice will change anyone I think

We got NASTY ICE last night

I would actually prefer snow

DH left for work and I sat by the phone a nervouse wreck until he called to tell me he was safe

at the end of out road is a large Hill and it ends right into a main highway so
if you miss the stop sign you have no where to go and since the hill is all ice
this AM i was worried

but he made it

I will not be going out until it WARMS UP and melts the ice

Glad your DH made it safely.

We got rain last night, which froze to a nice thin layer of ice right before the snow started. Now we have about an inch of snow.

Kids are out of school today. DH doesn't work until 7 tonight so hopefully it'll clear up some before he leaves but I know tonight will be one of those "worry all night" nights for me.

sounds like a plan
hope you get some energy back and feel better soon

I would take a peanut butter jar (empty and clean)
and go out in the yard and catch a bee

I would then put the jar in the freezer for a few minutes so the bee would go to sleep (not to long our they would freeze and die)

then I would take it out and tie a plong piece of sewing thread around where it's head met it's body

than lie it on a rock in the sun so it warmed up and woke up

it would than start buzzing around
and there I had a kite
and when i was done

I would just give the string a Yank and the poor bee would be decapitated

Okay so I was a strange sick child I was only around 8 or 10

didn't last long once Mom found out
she was NOT happy at all

You were a sick, sick little child!

I can't let DS see this post or I know he'll be outside come spring trying to do this!

Except for the fact that it was cruel to the Bees I
remember it being alot of fun

My girls have a 2 hour delay because of all the Ice
but our local news station didn't report it so I woke them both up
then chnged the channel on TV and saw it

I can't count how many times I've done that!

But now...one of my good friends is a teachers aide at the high school and whichever one of us gets through to the snow line first calls the other. She called me at 5:30 this morning to tell me there was no school so I just turned off the alarm!

Funny the things you will do as a young adult not your wouldn't dream of doing now.

DH and I used to do some OFF-Road driving. And one time it was not on purpose. Honestly to GOD I don't know how I missed hitting the tree. We went back to the area right after I quit shaking and the tire marks lead right to the tree but we never hit a thing.
