OhioSongbird February 19, 2021 Share February 19, 2021 "We're having a heat wave....a tropical heat wave". It's a balmy 23 degrees and no more snow, thank you Jesus. It's been bitter for the last week, had to have our driveway plowed twice. Sun is out and things are starting to melt off the roof and cars. There is a 36"...yes, 1 yd...icicle hanging from the gutter outside the kitchen window (hubby measured it). Still have about 11" of snow in the yard. Put out a bunch of veggie trimmings for the bunnies. Saw one chewing on the lilac bushes this morning. Poor things can't get down to find food on the ground. Going to warm up next week so things will be getting back to normal.....finally. ☺️ 5 Link to comment
Capricasix February 20, 2021 Share February 20, 2021 Lucinda, if you want to watch Wandavision, you should go ahead and watch it! Sure, it helps to have seen the movies, but your son could explain the basic backstory to help you understand what’s going on. It’s a great series! 4 Link to comment

OhioSongbird February 22, 2021 Share February 22, 2021 Snow is melting (yay!) and my huuuge icicle is gone. Thing grew to 54" (!) and was growing stalagmites below it in the lilac bushes as it slowly melted in the sun over the last couple of days.. Wish I'd gotten a pic before it went. 4 Link to comment

Snaporaz February 24, 2021 Share February 24, 2021 I got my parental units their first dose last Thursday, with the second dose scheduled for March 11! It was like winning the lottery! It couldn't have gone any more smoothly. My sister has already had her second dose (she works at the university dental school, and all of the health sciences faculty were considered to be in group 1A). She had no problems with the first dose, but she could barely lift her arm after the second. And a lot of her colleagues were so sick the day after they got dose 2 that they had to call off work. She got the Maderna vaccine, while my parents got Pfizer. I've heard that younger people have stronger reactions than older people. 1 5 Link to comment

At least we still have the Cadbury Bunny. OMFG, I may be the only one but I HATE HATE HATE that MFn' Cadbury commercial. I have hated it since day 1. And every MFn' year they harass viewers with it again. Make a new commercial! That one sucks! I think it's that godawful clucking. It sucks so much. So much. And it's already started this year. I also hate the Hershey's kisses where they ring them like bells because it does not look like the kisses are actually assigned to music notes. They are "ringing" randomly. How fucking hard would it be to assign the notes to certain kisses? I'll tell you - not hard at all. They should remake it correctly. Illogical visuals blow. Or should I say anti-logical visuals hurt the brain. 4 Link to comment
OhioSongbird February 26, 2021 Share February 26, 2021 I love those! The kisses one makes me smile, especially when the one wipes it's brow. It's a classic. And the Cadbury ones......I love the audition with the lion, etc. 5 Link to comment
boes February 26, 2021 Share February 26, 2021 There's nothing I hate more (cept ol' ButtBiscuit of course) than the Senokot commerical where some poor schmuck sold his soul and is now being forced to sing pretty much any inappropriate song while a bunch of youngish old folks who look like they spent their 30's right up to their early 60's on elliptical machines while having their teeth painted with some high gloss and their hair surgically repaired, dancing around because they're able to take a decent dump again. Whatever depraved dweeb made that commercial needs to be punished and badly. There's nothing that makes me laugh harder than any, ANY erectile dysfunction ad. There's always some field, a running dog, a guy who looks like he was created from George Clooney's dead skin cells opining about how THIS (fill in the drug name) made him feel even better than a double shot of Senokot. Buy the laxatives, dude. 7 Link to comment

I’ve also noticed during my local news that I have on between 7-10 AM it is constant local HVAC and home improvement commercials.

But these courageous Black Americans changed history. Every Black History Month, we tend to celebrate the same cast of historic figures. They are the civil rights leaders and abolitionists whose faces we see plastered on calendars and postage stamps. They resurface each February when the nation commemorates African Americans who have transformed America. They deserve all their accolades. But this month we are focusing instead on 28 seminal Black figures – one for each day of February – who don’t often make the history books. Each transformed America in a profound way. Many don’t fit the conventional definition of a hero. Some were foul-tempered, weighed down by personal demons, and misunderstood by their contemporaries. One was a mystic, another was a spy who posed as a slave, and another was a brilliant but troubled poet dubbed the “Godfather of Rap.” Few were household names. All of them were pioneers. 7 Link to comment
geauxaway February 28, 2021 Share February 28, 2021 I’m feeling so optimistic with the spring weather coming around. It’s been a pretty great week. We hit 100 days of school (in person‼️). I’m going through our closets and getting rid of so much stuff which is kinda sad. All these clothes I have that I will never wear again even if we do go back to the office. And the kiddo is growing like a weed I HATE IT. 😂. Last night he asked me to watch an episode of Wanda Vision with him and I was like ok whatever (not my thing). Well yah know what? It was dang good. I’m still not going to get into the rest of that stuff but one got me. 🤷🏻♀️ 7 Link to comment
