That must have been frightening.

Just glad to hear there were no serious injuries. 

I was glad it started while I was still at work. Enormously grateful I wasn’t driving in it

Home made beef curry for dinner.

Any leftovers? Curry is great the next day...

I suspect that there would be a line of GA folk willing to test my theory

Today on Twitter I've checked someone (who follow someone I follow) 's profile. This woman had made a tweet about her son's death having been caused by a pill he was prescribed (it has been certified by a medical examiner): Pregabaline. Bells start ringing in my head.

Pregabaline is used against epilepsy but also against pain from a neurologically cause. Mom's been taking pregabaline since this Autumn when she's start having pain in her arm from what the doc thought might be from the radiotherapy she did to treat the metastasis on her cervicals. 

Some side effects from pregabaline: dizziness, vertigo, drowsiness, hallucinations, confusion, difficulty to focus, emotional lability, memory losses, muscular contractions which mom is suffering. Thinking back they all start since this Autumn... We thought it was from her condition, the radiotherapy on her brain, the different pills she's taking... I'm no doctor but now I'm questioning if maybe this pills could be the reason or at least play a part in it.  

She has less and less pains so she'll go see her doc to start decreasing/stopping some pain meds. 

Sigh

Good catch, Tink. Hope she can stop taking this one.

Good catch!  Hopefully weaning off this med will help

Morning all  

In between regular light showers the sun is shining though the wind is cold. A couple of towns 30 minutes south of the parents' woke up to a dusting of snow. 

I went shopping with Mom late morning and got burger at BK on our way home. I have asked for no tomatoes, no onions and ketchup instead of the smoked sauce and got all 3 and no ketchup

I hope your day is as bright as the sun shining here

Poor Tink.   I hate when that happens.

I trust you complained?  

There seems to be something in the psyche of Irish people that makes them reluctant to complain about things like this. Personally, I would have made quite a fuss if such happened to me. And if they were to refuse to sort it out, I would demand to see the manager and complain even louder.

Hi, bro and Mum.  I'm having a snowstorm... what about you?

I'm the same. Hey, Marty!   How goes it?

All good here, thanks, bud.

A bit of snow overnight, leaving the surrounding mountains looking white. Too dull a day to get any decent photos of them, though. Managed to get a couple of hours clearing part of the new garden, though, so it wasn't a completely wasted day.  

After dark here, now. Will probably head out and get a few groceries in a while. But have to make a few phone calls first.

I hope all's well with you.

I had took it to go and only saw it at home so it was too late. But it had happened once when I told them they made me a new on right away and were sorry.

Not that I ever buy fast food "to go" - but if I did, and found out they got the order wrong when I got home, I would ring the establishment (after Googling the number, if necessary) and ask to speak to the manager.

All good here too. Didn't go for my walk today. I didn't have a great sleep, and I'm feeling tired, so after I feed I'm going to become a couch potato.

Home made spaghetti bolognese for dinner tonight...

Had no hard parmesan type cheese on hand, so grated some extra vintage cheddar on top.

Looks awesome, Marty! I have chicken breast and baked potato in the oven... and boiled some carrots.

I might end up bringing my mare in, but it doesn't feel that cold right now.

Yesterday's wind gave us some 5-foot waves on West Traverse Bay. All of the trees along the shoreline are frosted with ice sicles from the spray. Today seems much calmer, however. Currently, it's 24 F / -4.4 C outside, with plenty of sunshine.

Were having Chicken Breast with Red Wine Bordelaise

and Parmesan cottage fries with steak house mushrooms
