I found it enjoyable but glad I didn't spend movie theater money on it. 🙂 Felt the same as you.

I hate when that happens. 🤣 Is there any drama over on the WC thread? I haven't check in on it since they went around the cape. Started to get a little........mundane, for lack of a better word. Edit: Strictly my opinion, of course. I'm sure its not mundane for those on the cruise or avid WC followers.

Thanks! I missed the Barbenheimer craze last summer. I finally caught the Barbie movie on MAX this past January & now I'll watch Oppenheimer this weekend. Then I'll finally be caught up on my summer viewing. Just finished "Who is Erin Carter?" as well

So sorry to hear about your sister-in-law. My mother had a long battle with Alzheimer's too. Awful disease , I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Fortunately, , this storm is staying to the south of me. Only a minor dusting tonight. Enjoy the stay at home snow day, at least the mailboxes will be safe 😉😇

It's a very enjoyable movie. I watched "13 Lives" on Prime, the true story about the boys soccer team that was trapped in a cave for 18 days when it was flooded in Thailand. Movie had some interesting details related to the rescue attempt that I either forgot or didn't know about. Don't want to say too much more as to not ruin it for anybody.

Yes, on my phone. Just 1 ad about halfway down each page. Not on my laptop. Yet. EDIT: And on the main board as well. Halfway down the page, nestled between threads.

Just to clarify, you mean you don't know anyone personally in RI that posts here on CC? The state is well represented here by several posters. 🙂

Better hope that Kelce is not traded to the New England Patriots, otherwise Taylor might take it off the market and move in with Travis! 😉

I'd like to retract my earlier statement.

Mostly joking but wondering if maybe they need to send out the the unsent notifications first before the system "resets" to be current. That's just my retired IT brain coming back to life Hopeful thinking, i know.

That was my thinking as well. Also my thinking as well. I'm a light sleeper & a late riser, i.e. not a morning person.🙂 But if the dog is barking at midnight, I'm okay with it. 😉

Looks like notifications have been "fixed". 😐

I was wondering which of your kids it was. I was "hoping" (not really, wrong word but I can't think of another) that it was DS as this was his 2nd year in Canada while this was DD first year, if I remember things correctly? Disappointing that she didn't get to experience the full winter like her brother. Fingers-crossed that she recovers quickly & can enjoy spring time travels. Oh, and she has to come up with a better story as to how she broke it. Maybe racing to catch a small child as they fell off a chair lift or something like that. 😉

100% agree. My father-in-law and brother-in-law were both volunteer firefighters. Not at the same time & different fire depts. Decades after my FIL retired, active members would randomly check in on him during bad storms, power outages, etc. Guys that probably weren't even alive when he was serving would top off his generator with gas without be asked or paid. It's a close-knit community and my admiration for them run deep.

I've lived in houses my entire life but have been thinking a lot of downsizing to a condo. My issue is that while I'm sure I come across as a tremendously delightful social butterfly here on CC (sarcasm), I actually value my peace and quiet above all. So pretty sure I don't want to share a wall with anyone, much less 2 walls. Or see people when sitting on my balcony, all bleary-eyed sipping coffee while in my PJ's. Hows' that for a pretty picture?

There is a joke there but I don't want to play monopoly.

Many years ago, I broke one of the bones in my wrist while skiing. My right arm was in a cast for 3 months. First month was a full cast, knuckles to shoulder and then got progressive shorter each month. Fortunately, it was at the end of winter, early spring actually, & was going to be my last time skiing for the season anyways.

I'm sorry to hear this. Hope the surgery is uneventful & they recover quickly.

It's a nice sentiment but I don't think the math works in your favor. How many pro athlete are we talking about? A few hundred, maybe a couple of thousands across the NFL / NBA / MLB / NHL, plus a few tennis players and golfers? Compared to the many millions of teachers, police, firefighters, nurses, doctors? That's a lot of money. Heck, I'm pretty sure they guy that spent the last 18 hours plowing my roads while I slept comfortably probably should get Micheal Jordan money too, otherwise we'd all be home bound for the next week or two. FYI, I live in a community that has a volunteer fire department. That's take some dedication to risk your life for free. That's the kind of person I want serving my community.

James Bond would have little flame throwers built into the mirrors to fire down & melt the snow/ice to stop the slide. It started here around 3 am, I think. When I went to the bathroom at 2:30 it hadn't started yet but my weather app said it was close by. Pretty sure it started as all snow, there was no trace of ice or crunchy snow underneath. About 12-13 inches over 8-9 hours although at one point we had near white-out conditions.

Glad you are ok, nobody was hurt, the car is driveable with no serious damage. Depending on the car, brace yourself for the price of a mirror. I spent $1,200 on one, installed. Granted, it's one of those high tech mirrors with Blind Spot monitoring, heated & dim-able, built in turn signal and folds when you lock the car. Still, that's a far cry from the $20 "sport" mirrors I used to buy at Sears Auto Stores in the 1980's & bolt onto the car myself. Now I sound elderly. 😄

Thank you for the reminder & link. Now that my driveway & roads are clear, I need get some of my kind of Voodoo.

I had the same issue. even with the snow blower in the slowest gear. Needed to do half-cuts & it worked fine although it took me twice as long. But I got my 10,000 steps in!

😠😒 lol, just kidding.
