I don't miss those SW Ontario ice storms. Staying home is a good idea. If you can m can't use it for curling avoiding it is better.
Our friends who have lived next door to us and who have the same model of fifth wheel as us are moving into an apartment. I'm feeling sad today even though I'm also happy for them. Mr Northwind is helping them with his truck and muscles. I'll probably help too.

That's good ice, though. Meaning no impact on my life. Well, other than keeping one of my cousins gainfully employed (he's an ice maker for a couple curling rinks).

We have ice beneath the latest snowfall. Far worse than that is the bitter cod - -46 wind chill this morning. I stayed warm inside and made some yummy crumpets.

It's cold here but not that cold! Really hoping this is the last cold snap for the season. Late Feb so this is already getting late for one.

I have had a horrible messy day on a number of levels.
Waded out to car this a.m., not realizing how much snow had drifted onto porch. Still haven't dealt with it.
Worked until 2:30, dashed over to church to re-assemble beefaroni for tomorrow's student lunch. Met with, "it's cancelled due to some sort of health concern". Lunch disassembled, volunteers cancelled, a buried voice-mail on my cell phone tells me that it's just a class of students who can't come...
I'd just looked after all this crap, walked the dog, my dog was nuts, hers wouldn't walk due to ice in his paws, my legs were cold, and apparently I've lost enough weight that I almost lost my pants, and when I get home, the Rev is begging me to re-undo everything, go back to church, thaw, re-create, and I lost it. Not gonna happen. If kids show up, pizzas can be ordered. Not by me.
And this new guy? Takes off to work for this person. Half the time it's two-three days. And I get rando texts, saying please go feed my fish. And sometimes, it's like an hour after I've been over there, or drove by on way to church. I'm gonna start charging mileage...

Just keep going....
Remembering the invasion of Ukraine today. So many tragic stories but also so many of bravery and support.
For those that don't believe in sane, or something without it; it is a symbol that naivete exists ...
Might humanity grow out of such a void? It is like myth ... questionable for the sake something might be buried there as a satyr! Imagine sacred belief systems that we are unaware of ... in the interim distant thoughts ...
Tat urge to escape has remission ... it is assumed light for a rare few ... I am told not to repeat such things! Can we assume something as buried as subtle light? The immaterial in the myth ... non substantial, they say ...
Pla'en with God????

Good morning! To those who got through the freezing rain 'incident.' good job and stay safe. For ice grippies that help navigate in snow and ice, we give thanks. For the beauty of winter cityscapes, even despite the traffic snarls and pedestrian staying-upright challenges, we are grateful. As we mark the 1 year anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine, let us continue to support and uphold the people of Ukraine. The Coffee Cart is ready, come on in and join these conversations, and start new ones.

And let us give thanks for the comprehensive analysis of the unconscious psyche ...
Being so many thrive with matters rejected ... it gives others a place to run away with anothers abstract ... beyond what the subject power believes possible (or absolute).
This can cause chaos in the psyche of particular characters of declared autonomy ... thus they are not cognizant (WOKE to) what is lost to them (edited as To*em) and thus a subtle myth that the absolutes would deny. This is how irrational zones pop up as darker domains and smears on lighter psyches! Thus lit off they ignite and rise ... in the absence of whatever the unknown wish to entitle what comes down ...
This is noos worthy ... and denied by powers as they prefer to keep corruption in the shadows. One has to go there by times to understand how realty gets skewed ... outlining the taming of the skreus ... as Shakespeare said say it as you like it ... words are free and loose and drift between us ... demotic expression as common tongues?
It is said high laws outweigh common law to the detriment of the lesser quality in dangerous greater numbers ... especially when maintained in a condition of naivete (that's ignorance in character)!
NB: Does this resolve a little bit the chaos over endogeneity in relation to strange endorphins? (may relate to modern studies (etudes) into psych-neuro-immunological-emotions regarding slick slides into depression of physical/mental/emotional divinations! May be settled with and ancient healer like Ammet sometimes known as Emmet of the ante zone .. frequently rejected and thus unconscious! Just an uncommon thought as off the edge and sharper than fringes of hammered iron! Transliteration is deeply kin or related to coding intelligence in a stupid place ...
Rule 1??? Don't tell support the myths ... those who know but as part of the professional Guilds save it ...

BetteTheRed -- sounds like you have every right to feel grumbly.
My sister and I took our 89-year-old mom to see a high school play last night: Into the Woods. Her youngest grandson, son of our brother who is somewhat estranged from our family due to his lack of interest, was the narrator in the play and a church friend had alerted Mom to that fact. She was excited to go, and obsessed about it for a week. My brother phoned on Tuesday to tell her about the play, but, of course, we told him we were already going. In my mind I thought...oh good, we'll get to see him and his family.
There wasn't a huge crowd. Somehow, though, we didn't see my brother, until we were leaving, when he and his wife smiled at us and said: Thanks for coming.
Mom is half blind and has dementia. This was a big deal for her to see her youngest grandson. Evening is never her best time, so she kept asking who we were there to see. And she couldn't really see him well anyway. My brother's casual parting comments seemed almost cruel.
The whole evening saddened me.

Oh, i'm sorry Nancy.
Just catching up on the thread, lots going on.
@BetteTheRed -- I strongly dislike those on-again, off-again type of messaging. I feel for you. You deserve to be grumbly.

@Nancy
Your sadness is very understandable.
@BetteTheRed
I think I would be feeling quite taken for granted if I were you.

I haven't been on much, owe some responses on some threads.
My heart is with a family that had a major health shock as a result of routine tests after a fall. Hoping for the best, but as many know, the time during diagnosis is full of ups and downs, changes of plans, adjusting and questions
In addition, I have had a recurrence of bladder issues which mean a very uncomfortable time, and sleep that is interrupted frequently.
Between the two items, I am feeling rather rundown. This too shall pass. Everything has different levels of impact. Mine is low impact relatively, and I look forward to feeling better, and also making my own plans regarding supporting the family.
