You were probably the one one in your whole town who had one.

Snowin'

Night all. Tomorrow.

W T H happened to son? He is driving back up to school tonight. So where is he?

Kids, if you don't want your parents involved in your day to day life, STAY AT SCHOOL.

Hmm.... is that why I still live in a college town?

I, like D'name, had 2 snowblowers back in the great white north but sold them both before I moved because I was under the mistaken belief it didn't snow here.I wish I kept the small one and a snow shovel for those one or two days of snow we get.

Good morning all.

Mornin'.

It's just weird not having you post first in the morning.

Good morning everybody!

Morning!

Started snowing on my drive to work, supposed to flurry all day.

Morning.

No snow here, thank goodness!

It's my Friday off.

So I am at work early.

Morning. We got about two inches overnight.

My mom is thinking of walking to the beauty parlor.
She wouldn't drive on either of the days she had an appointment. One of those days was perfectly fine.

I told her, drive. It is 4 or 5 blocks. All side streets. Go slow.
NOOOOO
She won't drive in the snow.
So she wants to WALK

Call a cab. NOOOOO

Call the beauty parlor and ask if they will pick you up. She is only a few blocks away.
NOOOOO

Walk.
She was a walker when she was young, but we don't go places like the beach boardwalk anymore, because she can't walk far.


Question: How can it be too bad to drive, but OK to walk??????

When you walk, you don't feel as compelled to go a certain speed, maybe?

My Grandmother used to insist that she'd be fine to drive, but the 'darned car starter is broken, it's too hard to turn'.

Right. Strength enough to steer wasn't a problem, just turning the car on.

I'm saying that you need two.

I think it is probably scarier to consider hitting an icy patch and having the vehicle hit another one, OH GOD, THEY'RE WATCHING ME, or something. Perhaps you can telll her that falling, breaking bones, etc. results in maybe hospital, rehab and using walking aids - In a nice way of course. She prbably feels more in control when she is on her feet, but it really is not so and most older people have a fear of falling.

Welcome to the woot word filter.

I am not sure why tree is being filtered right now, but that's what happened to your post.

Well, the bit about words you didn't type. Not sure what you mean about it being in the wrong place.

dontwantaname wrote:The little line that you move to start typing, might have moved.

I don't even know if she can walk 5 blocks anymore. No less 5 blocks with the slush and ice.

Maybe I'll call the damn salon and see if anyone can get her and bring her home.
They do mostly older people, they should start a service.

Plus, she is endlessly worrying about how her hair looks, but she has stray chin hairs.
I tell her, why not have them pluck the chin hairs after they do your hair? She is there every week in the good weather. She never washes here hair at home. Never did. Gets it washed and frozen into place with spray. Like it was 1945.
No, she can't see the chin hair, so it doesn't bother her.

Oh, I found my first stray chin hair.

Would she consider an eyebrow wax? the operator normally then takes care of stuff like that.

Oh how I hate typing on this slow netbook.

The sentence OH GOD THEY ARE WATCHING ME. There was nothing else there that I remember - in face entire post looks ok except for that and the fact I was replying to a different post from dwan

dontwantaname wrote:LOL, I see you were just told.

Anytime something doesn't make sense on Woot, hit reply and you can read what the person actually wrote, in the quote box.

Sometimes people actually write wacky things. Most of the time it is Gatzby and the filter elves.

Most of the time it is words that are nasty and overused on shirt, like idiot, or sometimes Gatzby and his minions just pick a common word to screw around with the posts.

Obvioesly Gatzby and hiz minnions have two much tiem on they're hans. Teh uper echelone of Wut goods ned too fend more 4 them to dew.

Don't want wind. Snow is fine. Sleet is ok. Freezing rain is tolerable.

Just don't want wind.

And...Am really annoyed at some facebook friends who have their own business. I get using FB to network and advertise. But setup an account for you business, and use it. Don't clutter up my page with your business adverts...I friended YOU, not your 1200 miles away from my business!

Sigh.

Two tiny storms coming. One today and one tomorrow.

And another potential walloping next Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday!! (Pick your favorite.)

Yes, we have no more chocolate!

If I knew you 9 years ago I could have sold you one. I would have given you a good deal.
