Something About Nothing..........#11

[Lynne G]

The temp right now is 3 degrees F. The wind is so cold it almost hurts.
Two things I heard our road crews are doing to help with the cold: holding up traffic to take down icicles from the overpasses and spraying beet juice (yes, beet juice) over the brine solution that's on the roads now. I hate black ice.

Here's a warm cup of your favorite beverage to those enjoying this record cold!

And I agree with you Mac, I'd take a 40 degree day over the 10 or 12 degree day I will have today. How are the crowds? Isn't WDW Marathon Weekend this weekend?

 

[Metro West]

It's 34 degrees at work right now but I'll take it over the ridiculous wind chills experienced by other places.

How people can stand to live up north is beyond me.

It was 45 here this morning now 52.

Brrrrrrr...who ordered the Polar Express?
Personally, me thinks it's Mac's fault....it was warm before they arrived!
Headed into Epcot searching for characters today, unless we here anything about a character Palooza at Hollywood.

you don't want to know how cold it is here. We're hardy stock up but really...enough already...'uncle'!

had planned on hunkering down here and escaping venturing out. Even had DiL drop off GD to stay until the weather breaks so she didn't have to go outside @ 5 am to come here each day.

ha, best laid plans indeed. youngest DS has been sick with intestinal bug since pre NYEve. he's very slim and lost over 10 pds in less than a week. Have to go chip off the ice from car & make a 50 mile RT to dr's far flung satellite office this morning. Just hope they fix him up. Seems rather heartless to slap him on the back, say good luck and head out on Friday afternoon.

So yesterday's weather reached a high of 6 Celsius and then plummeted to -20.

When I got back to my car, all the ice had melted off before it got too cold. I may or may not have given the car a hug. >_>

I am ready for winter to end.

 

[momofboyz3]

I will join in too Argh~ 16 degrees in Boston down to 9 tonight. The wind really can knock the breath right out of you. I keep saying when the boys move on to college (or whatever) I'm moving south.

 

[schumigirl]

carole - here's hoping Hercules doesn't live up to his name.

Think by the time it reaches us now it's supposed to have died off a bit, but it'll get colder.

When youse have bad weather it usually hits us a week to 10 days after you..........not looking forward to that.

Funny......we never get your lovely warm summer weather sent over

Hope your DS feels better soon........not a good way to lose weight....especially if you don't need to. Hugs for him and you for the drive in that weather

Oh Keisha, that's terrible. I hope your DS feels better soon. No way to start when you're not feeling well.

They keep reminding us that the flu vacine is stll available. Oh, please don't remind me the flu is still around. With these wild swings in temps, no wonder people are getting sick. We should be in the high 50's by Sunday.

Crowds not bad today, but then it is cold and kids back in Skool now.
Last few days parks closed late and crowds let up bymidnight.
MK closed at 1:00.
I have no idea about the marathon.

Internet suxs big time here.
Network down in the park most oftoday.
We were disgusted by lack of it and the cm,s attitude when trying to get their assistance to switch the fp time.
It was so much indifference from them that we left the park at 4:30 today and returned to our resort.
We are so looking forward to when we switch to the dark side resort...

It was 45 here this morning now 52.

Hey, I remember back in October when youse were hoping for a cool down.
Your wish was granted but a few months later

Brrrrrrr...who ordered the Polar Express?

It is always my fault.....


You were at Epcot today?
Me too.

Next time have your people call my people for a meet up!

Where will youse be on Wednesday?
Wanna meet up?

Hopefully I will have decent wifi in the room and will be able to read your reply while I am still at the motherland.

Just popping in to say hi! Hope you are all doing well

I just competed my first Metafit class in almost a year... Wow!! Every bone and muscle in my body ache haha!

not sure what that is but it sounds suspiciously like exercise Go for it!

For lack of a better term, DS has a bacterial infection in his guts. Doc stuffed him full of high dose antibiotics and he was able to keep down bland food yesterday, so we're happy.

The 2nd part of dr's prescription was: when everything settled down, he's to eat lots of French fries and cheeseburgers. Can't say I've ever heard that advice before lol

carole hmmm who's taking the nice weather, hardly seems fair to just send the crummy variety your way.

lynne - we aren't big on the flu vaccine here. last time the whole family trooped off to get it we all got sick a few days later. Just have it in our minds kwim? Did you hear Pittsburgh has had swine flu pop up! thought that was a thing of the past.

ah well, way back on packing and errand running, as usual. will be a busy day with GD in tow (her preschool cancelled due to waterline break, lots of them here with older infrastructure), least it's in the 20's today and will be even warmed on the weekend.

 

[schumigirl]

Janet, please don't send swine flu over here.....we have more than enough bugs going around.........I really would like to do a Michael Jackson and walk around with a face mask on..........ugh.....why don't people cover their mouth when they cough anymore.........really growled at a man today for practically coughing in my face........I was in a bad mood to be fair.....I don't usually go all Ally McBeal on people but I did today

Glad your DS is on the mend though

Yes exercise is not on my list of things to do.....well.......we walk.......or go on the treadmill when it's cold outside.

My friends that went to Disney and Universal in December came back couple of days ago..........they loved Universal.......enjoyed every second and wished they had spent more time there.........Disney......they did not really enjoy. They were offsite I do know that, but not sure exactly why they didn't enjoy it yet I'll find out when I see them properly. Glad they loved universal though as I had rambled on forever on the phone how wonderful it is

Hope everyone's doing ok

 

[macraven]

Hey homies, now at the dark side and in our room.

As I was walking to the elevator went past a person carrying a flag with about 40 teens following.

Rained a lot today and my hair got all wavy.
Can no longer braid it so it is really a mess now.

Going to city walk after son rests a bit.

The kid got motion sick on the rides around 8:45 this morning.
Being the great muther that I am, I did not make him stay in the park at closing time.
Left there 30 minutes before closing.....

I figured since he did not puke, he would be ok......

 

[Lynne G]

Mac, sorry DS got sick on a ride. I am motion challenged on rides, so I medicate. Oddly, my kids have no issue with motion and the little DD cannot have enough loops when riding a coaster. Even with my meds, I only do the motion rides a time or two, then I enjoy people watching while kids ride. Hope the rain leaves soon. We have freezing rain right now. Lucky us, ice on the roads.

Happy Friday!! Time to finally relax.

 

[macraven]

Lynne, as long as we have no snow and it is above freezing, I can handle the
Orlando weather!

When I return home, I'll be begging for the big O weather....

Hope all homies have a great day.

 

[Kogo Shuko]

Glad you're at least enjoying no snow, Mac!!

It's supposed to be +8 Celsius tomorrow. So I'm heading to the barn to play with horses. v_v

 

[schumigirl]

We may get snow next couple of weeks...........our country practically comes to a standstill when it snows badly.......makes us wonder how other countries manage with much, much worse.

Am I the only one who doesn't like Kindles?

I was never sure I wanted one, I love books.....real books and I have a huge collection.......but, I was talked into getting one all the same..........I know loads of people love them........so........

Gave it a try.........Don't like it. Back to real books.

Have a great weekend everyone

Schumi, my friend and I were discussing this today, I much prefer a physical bonk which I can hold, most definitely
