    Complaint: downstairs neighbors are becoming intolerable with their loud parties. Any time they have friend sover now it's hours and hours of wub-wub bass and shouting. At least it's Sunday and I can demand a hard stop at 10 if need be (it's a work day tomorrow for some of us). Thinking of moving and/or investing in some kind of noise machine.

    If you are in the U.S, have you contacted the police or rental office? If the office hasn't done anything about it, you are allowed to set up an escrow account and the monthly rent payment goes into it, and they don't get it until they fix the issue and if they don't after the time they are given they can no longer get that money that is in the account. We had to look into it for the place we live.

    I think the sky might fall later this week.  The s word when referring to weather.

    It looks like there may be more of it on the coast where I am rather than where you are. Current Accuweather estimates are 3 to 6 inches. This in an area that rarely sees more than a light dusting. It could largely shut us down for days.

    The South is predicted to get hit hard with the cold, snow, and ice, down through northern Florida.

    Your county, Chautauqua, was in the news the other night.  Can't remember what...maybe something about a lot of snow?  I saw the name and thought to myself, "I know someone who lives there!"

    It's a bit chilly here today.

    Non-complaint:  Before the super cold hit yesterday, I had breakfast out with my symphony buddy, and I did a little grocery shopping, came home and watched the Fahrenheits drop.cool 

    Breakfast was interesting.  We went to a new place, (actually an old place that's reopened recently).  Menu was a bit skimpy, only about 4 things on the list for breakfast.  You could get Quiche Lorraine, but no eggs cooked to order, no omelets, no biscuits & gravy, no sausage or bacon, no hash browns, and horrors, no english muffinsad.  BUT you could order the "Breakfast Wrap" which was scrambled eggs, sausage, & hashbrowns, rolled into a soft taco shell.  Nothing else on the plate (a small rectangular metal pan).   The "Breakfast Wrap" was large, filling and actually quite good but the presentation was disappointingly naked.frown I predict the place won't last a year.  It used to be an ice cream shop that started serving lunch but went out of business.  The scant breakfast offerings probably won't help.indecision  The majority of people around here who eat out frequently enough for breakfast are unhurried, socializing, retired, overweight, doctor ignoring, gabby people who like heaps of greasy food, over which they can converse and nurse coffee for two hours to kill a morning.   Me?  I'm in and out in 15 minutes unless I'm with a friend and then we'll stay perhaps 10 minutes more, once or twice a month.

    I need to get milk before the storm.  Hopefully I have my Ebt card with me.

    I somehow got my on screen keyboard changed up.  Qwertzuiopü is the top line now.

    It has started. The sky is falling in small white flakes with an expected accumulation up to 8".  My area is not accustomed to snow and will be largely shut down tomorrow.

  • Sfariah DSfariah D Posts: 26,503

    I am cold.  I want to put on warm pjs asap.  I also probably need to replace the ink in my printer soon.

    On a cloudless night you can see the holes that the flakes left in the sky. cool

    I may have to wait a few days to see the holes. Meanwhile what worries me most is how am I going to be able to take my cocker spaniel out for  bathroom breaks. I'm no longer able to clear an area to take her.

    We just saw on the news that parts of Florida got nine inches of snow.

    ...New Orleans, where I lived back in the late 70s, got 8", the most in a century there. 

    I-10 through the Florida panhandle was closed for 70 miles.

    That must have been about the time I woke up in a SCUBA campground in the springs area of the Suwannee River in northern Florida (around Tallahassee Gainsville), peeked out of my tent and saw about an inch of snow and frozen, gem-like, giant spider webs and our group's wetsuits hanging frozen on the improvised clothesline between the trees.  cool  'Twas bright, sunny and warm the day and night before.surprise  Had to dip the wetsuits into the relatively warm (72F, 22.2C) spring water to thaw them out for our morning dive.  When we came up from the morning dive in the underwater cave, it was snowing again and we lingered in the warmish water while snow piled on our heads, like those Japanese monkeys.cool

    We must all learn to be pointless and irrelevant together.

  • I resent that. I am able to be pointless and irrelevant all without any help. Though, I do a more efficient job of it with help. Regards, Richard.
