I’ve left the back gate open hoping the pair of foxes around here - I’ve only see one, but my neighbour has seen two - will investigate this new space and leave their scent behind, but so far, no luck. There is an outdoors store that sells it, so that’s also something I’ve been thinking about trying. 4
Popular Post Sherye Story Reader Posted November 30, 2020 Popular Post Posted November 30, 2020 I am not liking this cold weather we are having here. I want to move to the equator where it is warm. Then move back here around March! Well, I would, but I can not afford to move on the small Social Security check I get every month. BOO HOO! Guess I will have to bear it again this year just like all of the other 65 years! The older I get, the harder it is on my body! I love cool weather but hate cold weather. I also hate hot weather but love warmer than cold weather! Can not find a happy medium! 6

While it hasn’t been overly warm, it is warmer than normal temps for me - 10C/51F. Have to say though, the guy down the street was wearing shorts while he was cleaning his truck bed, which seemed to be pushing it if you ask me. 4

Popular Post Kitt Posted November 30, 2020 Popular Post Posted November 30, 2020 The only weather extreme that really bothers me are high temps. The rest I can usually tolerate. What really gets me are rapid shifts. The 70's one day and below freezing the next morning we have had several times over the last couple weeks just hurts! 3 2 3
Popular Post Solus Magus Posted November 30, 2020 Popular Post Posted November 30, 2020 I guess this is the upside of being in a tropical country. There’s no extreme weather. But I’d still love to experience snow. 😢 Altho, a lot of friends in the west find it a huge hassle. 8
Popular Post mollyhousemouse Posted November 30, 2020 Popular Post Posted November 30, 2020 @Solus Magus snow is wonderful! in small doses, and when it's one of those soft gentle snows. big flakes, slowly, softly, falling from the sky. but, when it's blowing sideways & cold & dark it's awful. it's back to work after a long weekend for me, so i'll see you around. take care 1 7

But for now, I'll wait for the day when I'll finally get to make snow angels. Or a snowman. Or whatever fun you can do in the snow. 8
rickproehl Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 Excuse me Good Sirs and DiC friends. Just wanting to say Good Morning glad to be working from home today - didn’t have to shovel walk - didn’t have to warn the car up - didn’t have drive in snow Just had to go from kitchen to office.

I haven't been outside in the 28F weather yet but will have to in 30 minutes to go to another town to get my driver's license renewed. My town DMV office have the rudest people there! 4
kbois Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) We will have our coldest morning in a while on Wednesday. A cold front is currently moving thru. We'll be lucky if it hits 60F (15C) tomorrow and when it's time to go into work Wednesday morning it's going to feel like the upper 30s (3C). I'm sure I'll see people bundled up like they're about to explore Antarctica. I may have to wear socks. Edited November 30, 2020 by kbois 1 2 1

kbois Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 So....on my way home from work today I had to wonder what makes people think certain things are ok. Example- a good part of my drive is on a six lane highway (3 lanes each direction)with a chicken lane divider in the middle. Speed limit is 45-50mph (70-80 kph?). There's a bike lane about 3 feet wide along the curb. You would think that if you had to ride a bike on the road with traffic whipping by you might want to stay as close to the curb and away from traffic as possible (because the sidewalk just won't do). Nope, not in my universe. The cyclist made sure to ride ON THE WHITE LINE. I was in the right lane and couldn't move to the middle. I honestly thought my side mirror was going to clip them. Do you think I would've gotten extra points for stupidity? 🤔 4
Popular Post Starrynight22 Posted December 1, 2020 Popular Post Posted December 1, 2020 Good evening everyone. Hope things are going well. Sounds like many of us have winter weather starting this week. Stay warm! Speaking of staying warm, I found an absolute delight of flavored tea. It's the vanilla macaron flavor from tazo. So delicious. Like drinking dessert. I miss popping in and chatting, I must try to get here before it's midnight and folks (smarter than me) are asleep hahaha 3 3
