    Reporting in from the Arkansas tundra. So far, still have power and no frozen pipes. I'm not sure how much snow we've received. I've never experienced powdery snow that drifts before as opposed to the heavy wet snow we usually get. (Or if I did, I was too young to notice the difference.) So, some parts of the yard are 4-5 inches deep and other parts look more like 1-2 inches. We're supposed to get a few more inches overnight and then a few more on Wednesday. 

    The low this morning was 5, with -10 windchill. (The high got up to a balmy 7.) I had a small heater going in my bedroom with several layers of blankets and a few layers on me. I woke up at about 5 am and was sweltering. I looked over and realized that my Chihuahua, who had started the night under all the blankets, was lying on top of the covers, glaring at me with his best "Can I talk to your manager?" face. 😂

    Though that was too warm for us both last night, I'm going to follow the same procedure tonight since the low is supposed to be -6 with a -20 windchill. We won't get above freezing until next weekend, but we at least should pull out of the subzero temps and dangerous windchills after tomorrow. That works for me. 

    I’ve had the same problem in Texas, but no heater in my bedroom and still sweating like a whore in church. Thanks Menopause! 😂.

    Joy and Austin: This One Time At Family Camp

    I don't think every young couple with kids are miserable. I was a stay at home parent for ten years. For the first five years, I had no future plans to return to work. I loved it, for the most part.

    Joy seems to have a fairly good balance of mom life and married life. They take time as a couple. She sees her family. The kids see their cousins. I see her as quite happy actually.

    The way she speaks about is why I think differently.

    She even said she was not excited about it, but then changed her statement to say she was.

    Judging by her Q&A, Joy is not happy with her life, but chooses to pretend to be Happy, and prays to be happy. Like the old “pray away the gay” this girl is trying to force herself to enjoy her life but she doesn’t like it. No doubt she loves her kids, but it’s not the sunshine and rainbow farts she was promised.

    The Duggalos: Jinger and the Holy Goalie

    The entire Duggar empire is built on putting children on camera. I find it impossible to believe that RFP, FameWhore Supreme, suddenly developed an awareness that exploiting his children on SM might be ill-advised. And Jinger, being a woman and all, wouldn’t get a vote.

    Something else is up.

    Maybe someone went too far.... idk, but they are doing to with intent..... I’m with you, something is up.

    As a current grandma, please reconsider pushing the grandparents.  On one hand I think it's a potentially nice idea while on the other if anyone gave me homework at this point in my life and wanted to ride me "like Seabiscuit" they might not get the reaction they are wanting.  I'd be more likely to donate or simply trashcan the book(s) immediately.  I think possibly ask the grandparents in question if they have any interest in such a project.  Some of us have enough on our plates already or might have no interest in filling out a book.  

    In my case they will actually like the idea and would enjoy it, and “riding them like seabiscuit” is my funny way of saying remind them. We’ve been surrounded by a lot of death from Covid and they’ll all be happy to do this for the great grands. If I had a grandparent who wasn’t into sentimental things or not close to the kids I wouldn’t even bother.

    I gave books like this to my grandparents like 20 years ago. My grandmother never filled hers out and I never saw anything from my grandfather either, though he was totally into genealogy and storytelling. My grandmother had Alzheimer's and I figured there was just never any time.

    But he passed away in 2019 and when my mom was going through his stuff, she found it. He had filled out some parts of it and she gave it to me at Thanksgiving later that year. I haven't been able to bring myself to read it yet, but just having his stories in his own handwriting that he left for me is priceless.

    I am giving these to all of my grandparents to fill out for their greatgrands. And I’m going to ride them like seabiscuit until they are back in my custody! This is a wonderful idea.

    A few years back, when I had my knee replaced and was home for a couple months, I was stunned by how many people go out into suburbia and randomly knock on doors.  I live in a suburb that requires a permit to go door to door, but most of these folks just ignore that rule.  I found myself having people banging on the door multiple times every day which set my dogs into a barking frenzy and made me have to get up off the bed or chair and hobble to the door to send them away.  I had kids selling magazines, siding and roofing vendors, and multiple pushy religious types.  I found it helped shorten their visit to ask to see their permit to solicit, which none of them had.  But, in the end, the only way to keep them off the porch was to go down to Lowe's and buy a 'No soliciting' sign for 3 bucks and hang it over the bell.  Money well spent.

    In my neighborhood the sign has been an invitation to be creative. It took a few years but now we are known as the curmudgeons on the block so everyone leaves is alone 😂.

    my favorite is when they come to my door. I have a “no soliciting” sign, so I will point to it and say, “can you read” when they say yes but..... I just say “that includes Jesus”.

    They away with the face of horror and I laugh every time 😂

    Does anyone have a link to the Lilly/Brennan/Hannah cuts? I’m not giving them a view or downloading a whole episode, but all the talk makes me want to see what Brennan and Hannah said!

    Another reason rookies might not want to dance next to her could be... if they outdance her or make her look bad in any way, TK/VK may feel threatened and encourage Kelli to cut the threats.  Kelli is TKs puppet..
