Eh, Jak, I am not hard core. I am just as likely to watch HGTV than football on any given day.

Deb, I hope you are OK. Falling is not good!

Went out, to eat with friends - last nite. Wind chill coming off the Chesapeake Bay and Baltimore Harbor must've been around 12-15 above.
Got a bit snockered , wife got really wasted .
Spent from 6pm til midnite at that bar/restaurant.
The Cook is a son of very good friends.
I say Cook with a capital 'C' cause...he's great.
Best Md. Crabcakes I've ever had in my entire lifetime, I believe .
His crabcakes have been written-up and given awards by local critics and newspapers. but we stayed too long, gabbing with friends and the Chef.
I'd sobered up for the short drive home (about 1 mile) , but my wife kept the "Christmas Cosmo's" coming (your basic "Cosmipolitan", spruced up a bit) right up til we left .
My feet hurt when we got home, but no ill effects today, for me - wife is a bit, shall we say. 'under the weather' today .

Now and then you just gotta boogie.

Good thing you did not get washed away!

The San Francisco Bay Area where I am from generally has a fairly mild climate. It doesn't really get too cold, or too hot etc., for any great length of time. I have to say though, this winter we have had some icy days for sure. I've even lost a couple of my plants outside. I really can hurt terribly in the morning, both with my arthritis and my neuropathy, but on cold icy mornings, it's so much worse. I roll out of bed like I'm 100 years old sometimes, groaning and grunting like some wounded animal. It's really a site.

6 F here---cold for our area--outside of St. Louis. Didn't go to church. Was afraid of triggering the Trigeminal neuralgia and making my leg pain worse. My face is twitching and I am at the point of passing out when upright. Rough time the past 4 days. My compression stockings help keep me warm in the cold.

This sure is booger weather---hand me a tissue cyclelops.

My son is now a Minneapolis resident and wondering if he was crazy when he decided to move there.

My kitty has taken over the Snuggli blanket I kept on the sofa for myself! I guess she can have it... she has a need, obviously.

I have a pic in my siggie now showing her!

My dogs are fond of my blankies too.

I see both the Vikings and da Packers won....heh, heh.

She's a beauty MrsD. My son really wants a black kitty. Our Boston Terrier would most likely drive the poor thing nuts though. Our doggy has several different blankets around the house that she wraps herself up into, even when the weather isn't that cold. Boston's love to do that...

Just thought I would add a temp to this thread. Here on Long Island, it's 22 degrees, feels like 5...that's cold for us. I AM NOT LIKING IT EITHER!!! To top it off, it's snowing.

I was just kidding Cyclelops....Now that I'm 60, I don't having purple running threw my veins anymore....but, the Vikes did win today, and they received a bye in the playoffs....How weird would it be, if the purple's number one nemesis would win the Super Bowl? Very weird.
