OT November Chit Chat

[Howie]

"Medicare-Medicaid patients in long term home care is figuratively giving me hemorrhoids." Thanks for the laugh first thing in the morning. It's the way to start the day!!!

[Frog42]

While Howie contemplates his hemorrhoids, humans have landed on a comet! I'm finding that infinitely more exciting for some reason.

[Howie]

Correction Vicky, our machine landed on a comet, but no humans! I'm just a cold cup of water, aren't I?

[SalpalSally]

BrrRrrRrr....Cold here. NOT ready..Grrrr.

[Howie]

It's 72 here right now...BRRRRR I need to get a coat on!

[Howie]

I'm in 0 energy mode today! I hate it, but it will pass as most things do. I've been thinking of taking a bath all day long, and still haven't. So just stay upwind. Even the cats aren't with me today....darn cats!

[renee]

Boohoo crybaby, Howie.
"Snow possible in higher elevations." Ugh.

It has been a half full day.
Yesterday was half empty which means it felt like 25%.
Wind chill factor has a cousin in psycho chill factor.
What it is and what it feels like.

New appliances tomorrow and
I don't have to clean the old ones.
Always good news.

Latuh.

Sorry about the cold snap you folks are getting. Daughter sent a few pics from her neck of the woods (northeastern California). The first one shows snow covered Mt. Lassen in the background. Second pic is of one of the many mushrooms appearing after the rains. Nature is awesome!

[Howie]

Yeah, I ate one of those mushrooms once. There sure were some pretty colors!

[Virginia]

We are supposed to join the "cold" crowd beginning tomorrow. Well, I' am in most all the time anyway, but will need to get groceries in a couple of days, so not looking forward to it.

Nuthatch, thanks for the California pictures.

I have just been rolling along with my Rebif as far as insurance goes and wham, out of the blue today, got a call and I had to give a credit card number. They wanted more money. I have got to make another call tomorrow to find out if it will still be the same in 4 weeks or exactly what to expect. I do NOT like surprises.

[Howie]

Is there such a thing as "too tired to sleep"? If so, I have it. Took my sleep meds and everything, and I'm still going. Oh well, I have some free movie channels for awhile.

Don't you HATE that? I get it from time to time awake until 4 am and then I doze the rest of the day. Then I cant get to sleep because I have been on a 12 hour nap!

82% chance of snow, heavy at times starting around noon. Really bad for the bus drivers as everyone worries about getting them TO school, thing is someone has to get them home again.

It is 21 deg and falling right now. I don't miss having to get snow crews going at 3 am to have parking lots, roads and sidewalks clear by 8 am.

I still have that little square pop up when I move the cursor out of the typing box and back in it moves close to where I am typing just begging me to click on it. Anyone else ever have this happen? I guess I will run another scan just to make sure......

[Howie]

I'm STILL awake. I stayed in bed the whole time thinking I HAD to fall asleep sooner or later. WRONG!

[Frog42]

Gary, what do the pop ups say? It's not necessarily going to show up in a virus scan. There are browser add ons you can download to get rid of them. It might help if to know what company the ads are for.

[agate]

Gary, I think you should ask the administrators about the problem you're having. It might be something they know about and even have a fix for.
