Ali-bama is the (rare) occasion that we get more than a dusting of snow. About 3-4 years ago we got a 9" snowfall and the roads looked like the Apocalypse had occurred (empty, they were) and the stores were either sold out or closed. Me being raised in N.

I prefer Irish Toast; doesnā€™t require getting any milk; substitute Baileyā€™s. Personally, I like the Vanilla Cinnamon Baileys. šŸ†’ Though I did forget to get eggies yesterday; the ones in the fridge are past dateā€¦by months. :eek: > [@Serenata67](#): > > **FCM** , we do have a couple fans. I think I might put one at the top of the stairs, blowing fresher air into the basement. The problem is that Romeo Jr. likes to explore the basement, and it is not a place a 2-year-old should be on his own. So if we leave the door open, with a fan blowing into it, heā€™ll make his way into the basement. Heā€™s a ninja like that. But I could have it blowing into the basement while heā€™s at daycare and at night. Hopefully thatā€™ll help. Get a really big, powerful fan blowing out of the basement; anytime he gets in the line of fireā€¦::woosh:: heā€™s on the other side of the room. šŸ˜ƒ > [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > The movers are here!

Good Morninā€™ Yā€™all! Up and caffeinatinā€™. _YAWN_ ā€˜Tis 74 Amurrkin out and clear (well, dark) with a predicted high of 92 and mostly N.O.S. with a thirty percent chance of rain/tstorms/apocalypse this afternoon. We shall see. The big item on todayā€™s agenda is laundry and waitinā€™ on FedEx to deliver my meds. I lead such an excitatinā€™ life. We shall sup upon pot roast with carrots and N.O.T., butterbeans, and corn bread. Think I shall do the pot roast in the oven usinā€™ my cast iron dutch oven instead of the slow cooker, just cause. Everyone in the path of Floā€™ be safe! Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, onward into the day. Rah. Happy Tuesday Yā€™all! ---

**Sari** , I too have the sinus/allergies/cold thingy going on. Fortunately I feel better than I did last night or else Iā€™d be staying home today. Have I ever mentioned that I have an old furniture addiction problem? Well, the other day my dad was being funny and sent me an ad for two ugly old wingback chairs for $30. I couldnā€™t resist and now theyā€™re clogging up the front hallway waiting for someone to help me carry one upstairs. Iā€™ve decided Iā€™m going to try my hand at reupholstering it. ---

\*\*Sticky \*\*- Iā€™ve done some self-taught reupholstery and I really enjoyed it. The only part I donā€™t like is making cushion covers, but Iā€™ve done that too. Hope it works out for you! Our gov has already declared a state of emergency - more for flooding than for the hurricane itself. We need to gas up our vehicles and fill the gas cans in case we need the generator, but beyond that, weā€™re good for a while. We had a camp stove somewhere - probably would be a good idea to locate it and the fuel, just in case. I donā€™t think our generator will handle a microwave. I suppose we could subsist on sammiches and cereal. Thus begins another day in paradise. Happy Tuesday!! ---

Good luck and stay safe, those with weather! I sometimes wonder what would happen if we did get hit by some proper serious weather, only a few farmers have any gear like generators, without power weā€™d be in trouble fast. Especially here, as Iā€™m in the pointy bit at the bottom of the country, only connected to the rest of it by 2 roads suitable for hgvs, only one of which has more than one lane, plus a few little back roads. Resupply here is sā€¦lā€¦oā€¦w. After the few inches of snow we got, it was 2 weeks before all the shops were up to stock again though the road was only closed for less than 24 hours. It looks like Iā€™ll be sat in for a few hours, the boiler needs its annual checkup (it being nearly a year since I moved in). The landlord said heā€™d give the guy doing it my phone number, and heā€™d call to arrange a time. What he actually did was come round and stick a note saying ā€˜I called round but couldnā€™t get access, please call to rescheduleā€™ in my letterbox. Iā€™ve been in all morning, if heā€™d just rung the doorbell (which is loud enough to awaken me from the deepest sleep, no way I missed it) he coulda come in then. Oh well, I called and heā€™s coming this afternoon at 1pm instead. Not enough time to do much else before then, so I guess Iā€™m sitting in waiting. ---

Happy Toosday! Another wet day, although it isnā€™t raining now. I hope it stays that way until we get back from the grocery store. We have a soggy mess to get through when we go out. Something grew in the wild flower patch, I have no idea what they are. They never got flowers on them, just a big clump of thin stalks that grew 8-10 feet tall. Anyway, with all the rain, the entire clump has fallen over the sidewalk. Iā€™m sorry you are going through this crap too **Sticky**. I feel miserable, and it hurts to talk. Iā€™m grumpy too. Two companies I do business with made the mistake of sending me surveys about my experience on their websites yesterday. I doubt they are going to like my answers. Truthfully, their websites suck, and I told them I could have done better using cobol and cics. ---

I like ā€˜naked toastā€™ too, **Midget** ; as long as you pile a lot of bacon in between slicesā€¦ Morning all. Awaiting what new adventures await for the remodel. Tile guys are about 80% finished with the bathroom and by the builders schedule the appliances are due today or tomorrow, so my kitchen may begin to look like a kitchen again. 68F going to 83F today but itā€™s going to be getting hotter as the week goes along. **Sari** , watch your step going out. And grumpiness is underrated, IMHO. Go getā€™em. **Nut** , hope the guy is on-time; here weā€™re lucky to get ā€œbetween 12-4Pmā€ as an arrival time. **Sticky Buns** , I have these three old office chairs sitting aroundā€¦ All yā€™all in Florenceā€™s path be careful now. ---

> [@EmilyG](#): > > I once visited a town called Asbestos (yeah, unfortunately named,) and the tap water there smelled like farts. But it actually agreed with my insides. When I travel somewhere and drink the tap water, it can be a bit of a crapshoot. Sometimes in more ways than one. Some amusement parks are famous for having ā€œegg waterā€ in the fountains; the stuff smells and tastes slightly of rotting eggs. I always blamed it on the coal/sulfur in the groundwater and parks using cheap wells for their free stuff whenever they can. > [@Spiderman](#): > > What about the Shakers?
