Also, will see if the battery in my car still works. Knock on wood. Same it's supposed to reach 52 degrees on Monday, so everyone will be running around without a jacket talking about how warm it is.

Also, will see if the battery in my car still works. Knock on wood. There was a fire at a local plant here in MI that required the company sending out an email to all customers asking to turn the heat down a little and reduce usage so that there were enough for hospitals, etc. Lower usage request is supposed to end at midnight tonight... the below zero temps are also supposed to end around then, thank goodness. I don't mind cold, but this is more than I can handle even! 1 Link to comment

Mellowyellow February 1, 2019 Share February 1, 2019 Is this the coldest as far as you guys can remember? Definitely most prolonged period of heat for us. In previous years we'd get one or two scatty days of 104 degrees and a few days 89s followed by a cool change. This year it was relentless weeks of constant temps over 86. Link to comment
Sakura12 February 1, 2019 Share February 1, 2019 In Chicago we've had Polar Vortex's before with -20 to -30. We've never reached -52. Some offices closed and they stopped mail delivery and had to set the rails on fire so they could get the trains running. 2 Link to comment

Mellowyellow February 1, 2019 Share February 1, 2019 Speaking of trains we have one of the most unprofessional rail networks in this region. If it's too rainy, or hot, or too much thunder or their staff have chucked too many sickies, our train body Cityrail will just peace out and run to whatever schedule they like! And the public just accepts it because we have such low standards for Cityrail. In Japan they issue an apology if they are 5 secs late! 1 Link to comment
Sakura12 February 1, 2019 Share February 1, 2019 (edited) It helps that in Japan everyone always follows the rules. They don't even cross the street without the light saying they could. That took some getting used to when I went there. We had to wait for the light when there were no cars. But they are very efficient. I've never seen trains run as smoothly.

Back in 1994 I think it was, there was another polar vortex and we haven't beat those records in the coldest spots (-60 vs only -56 actual temp) but I think it's the coldest here in the more urban area. And honestly, I doubt minus 56 feels any better than minus 60. I'm happy to live well south of those lows. Link to comment

It's Global Weirding, the more accurate term for what we call Global Warming. Weather going crazy all over the place, both hot and cold and more weather events. It's insanely cold here now, and overwhelmingly hotter in the summer. In my local hardware store, it was 50 F / 10C. Inside. Staff huddled around the space heater when not helping customers. 1 Link to comment

Another thing with trains in Japan is everyone get in neat little rows on the right side, when the train arrives they wait until everyone gets of the train before boarding. There's no pushing or yelling. If an older person or pregnant woman or a woman with a baby gets on the people give up their seat without being asked. It also helps that you can't talk on your phone when on the train. I speak very little Japanese and definitely can't read it, my family and I had no issues using the train, we took it all over the place. Each train is assigned a color and you just follow the matching colored lines on the floor that will take you all the way to your train. 4 Link to comment

Mellowyellow February 3, 2019 Share February 3, 2019 Pretty proud of this project! Lil Sis got caught up in the Megan Markle aquamarine fever so I bought her the stone for her birthday and then bought the setting as an early Valentine's Day present yesterday. The aqua is completely untreated (she doesn't like treated stones) so it was a pretty good find! 5 Link to comment

I gave it to her already (we went to a pre LNY buffet)! That's her hand in the pic! Notice the less fat fingers 😂 It's Lunar New Year on Tuesday (our Tues, your Mon so Arrow night!) and it is good luck to have nice new things to wear so she's going to be showing it off for the entire new year. Haha yes I did struggle with giving it up especially since I don't have an aqua myself and I haven't been able to find anything nicely cut in this size after I bought hers. But you know, the joy of giving and all that 😝. She is soooooooo happy so that helps! Plus most of her collection has been based on me giving her my rings after I upgrade so there is something satisfying about her having a nice new ring that has not been worn by me! After the initial madness I don't think I need an aqua. It comes very close in colour to my aqua blue zircon and I am not even a blue girl so it's a good spot to save energy and money!

He dumped Bridget Moynahan for Giselle and Bridget was pregnant. They both say she found out about the pregnancy after the breakup but I think he would have dumped her even if he'd known. He had a chance to be with a world famous model and his ego would never turn that down. Giselle didn't have their first kid for a few more years so it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

Mellowyellow February 12, 2019 Share February 12, 2019 Wheeeee it's a good day today! My other couple on the other show had this fight a few week ago and I was worried about a break up! Quite a few people were worried about a break up because of certain characters introduced. But YAY!!!!! They were fine last week, had a really saucy scene at the beginning of this week's ep and a tooth rotting fluffy scene at the end! It's been a fantastic TV week! I am cautiously hoping the writers will not blow things up or decided to swerve half way. 1 Link to comment

BkWurm1 February 18, 2019 Share February 18, 2019 (edited) Hahahahaaahah! I got that one wrong. 😄 We'd call it a crib. Off hand Graco comes to mind but not for exclusively expensive stuff, just well known. For expensive name brand, maybe zero in on a store like Pottery Barn Kids or some other furniture store. Maybe a Baby store. Edited February 18, 2019 by BkWurm1 1 Link to comment
