[Do you have a "wait ... what was that!?" story?]

When I was around 10 years old, took some kids in the church to invite people to services. I was put out alone, became afraid, knocked on a door, and asked to use the phone. Called home and my mother let the stranger drive me home. Gross negligence by 2 adults in my life.

Yes, Houston area. For us, it will be miserable, but at least we don't have the snow and stuff. 

We should be good here at our  house - when we lost power for all those days a couple years ago, we did fine, and we *shouldn't* lose power this time. But we're stocked up just in case, know all the ins & outs for just in case, etc. 

I'm on the Texas border, and it's supposed to start snowing here tomorrow and snow until Monday. Wintry mix is also forecast. I am expecting to be out Tuesday at least, out Monday anyway.

@TheReader Glad you are feeling better.

@history-fan Stay warm and safe.

 

It is still snowing here.  Bitter cold coming overnight.  I heard lows of -50 with windchill.  I thought we were getting a mild winter.

We have soooooo much snow.  And more coming today.  Thank goodness the first storm on Tuesday didn't produce as much as they said.  

Is it spring yet???

Good grief, my brain can't even process how cold that must be.

[Ideas for chronic cough?]

I'm not saying that you should take the biologic, but regarding the cost of it: I know that some biologics have a program to help alleviate the cost.  That might be something to look into while making your decision.

Yes, I only had to pay $5 per injector.

[Ideas for chronic cough?]

Are you on blood pressure medication? Some of those can cause cough. I once had a cough I couldn't get rid of, and the doctor put me on reflux medication. I was skeptical, but it worked. I know those are probably too simple for your situation, just wanted to throw it out there.

[S/o what did you eat when you were a child?]

We had things like beef roast with potatoes, carrots, onion, and celery, grilled chicken, fried fish. My father worked shift work, so when he was home, we had good meals. I remember snacks like chocolate milk and cheezits. No fresh fruit  and fresh vegetables during garden season only. I was probably grown before I ate broccoli or cauliflower.

I have an observation my next class period. I hate them. 

Will have to take big to the Dr...been having dizziness spells off and on. Articulation isn't their strong skillet, so they want me to go with vs going alone or with DH. 

I hate them as well!! I have to set the date for mine soon as break is over. Good luck!!

[Tackling Friday Together, 1.5.23]

Good morning, everyone. I'm staying in bed a little later each day, but it all ends Monday. Dh is working all weedend, so I should have plenty of time to get things done.I'd just like to say how much I appreciate this daily tackling thread and all of you.

straighten up a bedroom

 

 

 

[Well-Trained Bodies January]

Since one of my January goals is to do balance exercises, I want to join in for accountability.

[Big picture and January Goals by the week]

I love the idea of just choosing a couple of goals to work on at a time. For January, I will focus on balance exercises and making better food choices, along with not wasting so much money. It's been a bad habit for me to pick up junk food while I am out and about. I need to come up with something to replace that with. 

[Tackling Thursday, January 4th]
