with all the crazy cold, wintery stuff going on around the united states and canada, I just wanted to tell everybody i hope they are staying warm and everybody here is in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you Goofy. Still snowing here. Don't know the temperature yet. Am worried about my cat. She doesn't seem to be able to urinate. Can't take her out in this weather. Hurry thaw!

Oh dear, Barbo - that's terrifying - can you telephone an emergency vet in your area and ask for advice? When I lived in Omaha that was possible -- not here.

We're currently having a terrible snow storm .... supposed to get 8" - 12" today and then the temp falls below 0*. It's going to be a scary time but everything will be OK if the power stays on. It's so windy that we are being told to expect 2 1/2 - 4 FOOT drifts.

oh i hate to hear that Barbo We got a light dusting last night. the wind chill is down there but compared to what the rest of the U.S. is going through i'm NOT complaining. I hope everybody stays warm and the electric will NOT go off.

Hi all!! Just thought I would check in while I was still on break, have a few more days.... not long enough!!! I can't remember if I passed along that I finished my 1st semester with a 3.0 out of 4.0 not bad for being out of school for as long as I have. Hoping 2nd semester goes as good or better than 1st. Wish me luck.

Sorry to get off topic.... the weather here is CRAZY!!!!! We have about a foot of snow, temp is 13 and supposed to be -15 tonight but we are already having wind gusts over 40 miles per hour so the wind chills are much colder!!! I just heard on the news that at times today we were getting 2 inches of snow per hour I haven't looked but I think it's still snowing!!

Well I better get off here.....I'm charging my NOOK so I have something to do just in case we lose power....I can read a book....a good book not a boring study have to book...lol!!

Hugs!! MISS YOU ALL!!!!!!

I can't open my front door --- the snow has blown up in a giant pile against it and there's no way I can move it. I think I could get out through the garage door but have no desire to try.
I assume that tomorrow some men from the condo assn. will be here to clean up everything.
It's COLD and will be even colder tomorrow ....... I'll have cups of hot chocolate for the men trying to move all this snow.

Thanks for the suggestion. She seems a little better, but I will call a vet tomorrow. Hugs.

vet may not be open barb.....offer her cold water out of the sink will she jump on your counter to drink it out of the faucet?

Mr.Alffe who has not been impressed with all the weather hype...is impressed now! He shoveled the walk and announced that we are housebound! No paper in the box and our sweet Cassie won't go out to pee. We love our new boiler which is being put to the test! It's -11 right now and will go down all day.

Think I'll make cookies and maybe some bread. (wren you are such a good influence on us! )

Mark so glad to see you here.

Abbie, congrats on the grads! And Barbo, hope Ruby is better today.

Ruby was not eating or drinking, now she is doing both. I just can't tell if she is peering. She is acting normal.
