Sunday a.m.
« on: January 27, 2008, 08:10:05 AM »
Good morning, all; it's going to be 60 degrees F here in the Sandhills of Nebraska today.

I had another rough night last night, and so am going to hit the sack for most of the day.

Yesterday, I inquired about Tagament, but didn't take it, instead consuming a pint and a half of ordinary water, and then sleeping like an infant.

Chemicals are NOT the solution to problems.

Besides, I looked at the unopened box, noticing it had "expired" in 09-98, and so figured it was impotent anyway.  A friend of mine had given it to me after I returned from the socialist paradises of the workers and peasants, and weighed 137 pounds (I am not a short person); he thought it would help, but I never tried it.

Chemicals are NOT the solution to problems.

Instead, I got healthy again the natural way.

Anyway.

I won't be around until later today, but the suggested topic of the day is: what is the biggest "temperature spread" one has endured in a single day?  Without traveling.  One 24-hour period, including day and night.

When I was a lad, in the Sandhills of Nebraska, there was one morning when it was 15 degrees F, but then by 3:00 p.m. it was past 70 degrees F, like 72 or 73.

Believe it or not, the biggest recorded (by the government) temperature-swing in Nebraska was something like 90 degrees in one day, but that was before my time.

It's late here... 9:00

Not much planned today.  Wrap up some homework for Monday night and do some cleaning.  Maybe try a new recipe.  If it's good, I'll post it in the Recipe forum.

Good morning everyone.  It is 7:30 here.  I have dragged myself out of bed to go to church.  I really don't feel like doing anything today. 

TOTD: I honestly don't know.

Morning! Got church this morning and don't have anything planned. I am looking forward to spring, I am done with cold and rain.

TOTD: I have no idea but I am sure it happened in Greensboro where you can see all four seasons in one day.

Isn't nicotine a chemical?  I ask because nicotine is often the solution to some of my problems. 

Let's change that to "Chemical are almost always never the solution".  :)

Cloudy, cool day here in WV.  Baked a couple loaves of pumpkin breadthis morning, and I have a pot of veggie soup on the stove for dinner (I'll make cheesy garlic biscuits to go with it).

It's a "hang around the house" day...my older son is at the dining room table, tying flies, my daughter is barricaded in her room, listening to music and texting a friend, and my youngest is playing a video game.

No football, no NASCAR, no baseball on today...not sure what I'll do!  

TOTD:  not sure of exact temps, but I know growing up in CO, you never left the house without a jacket, 'cause it could go from 65 and sunny to 20 and snowing in a matter of hours.

TOTD:  It went from 12* at night the other week to 55* during the day.  That sort of thing doesn't happen much here.  If it gets to freezing, it usually stays there and doesn't get much colder.

All of us who live in what I call the "Seam of the Nation" (Texas up through the Dakotas) are subject to quick and extreme weather changes.  

The day my first grandchild was born (December 31, 1992) was a varied weather day.  It was 72 degrees when I got up that morning at 5:00 am.  By the time I was trying to make it to the hospital for the birth at 6:00 pm, it was in the mid-20's and the streets were covered in ice.

Well, I slept til 11, but I have lots of things to do.  Laundry... the washers and dryers are COIN-operated.  :bawl:  Why can't they be card-operated, like the ones at Georgia Southern...all you needed was the student id card (where there was money pre-loaded on the card).

Studying... I have to read the first 99 pages of Galatea 2.2 for tomorrow and some online readings for another class, which includes Thomas Paine's "Common Sense."

dinner plans...  I may go buy some cookware today.  I hate just heating things in the microwave or oven.

The laundry room at my apartments switched over to the card readers a few months ago.  It's nice.

I feel like I've gone back in time.  Hopefully, the school has plans to swtich to the card-readers (heck...the id cards get used for everything else).

You are lucky that you get to use your ID card for laundry.  We had a separate laundry card, and the building I lived in my Junior year didn't even have a machine where we could load the card, so I would have to go down to the main area of the campus to load my card before I could do laundry :(

LOL... I said I WISH we could have our id cards double as laundry cards.  Coins  are what we use.  :(   My previous college made the switch to id-card readers, but the current one hasn't.

we are supposed to get snow around seattle today, so its a good pajama day.

i got the book for our next Book Club meeting, Charlie Wilson's War and have already gotten about 20 pages in... it is going to be a snap reading this one. It's over 500 pages, but its an absorbing read so far. The guy was an alcoholic, womanizing coke head, but in a real fun way  :-)

yep... i remember many a christmas waking up to warm weather and playing in shorts outside.. only to see snowflakes later on in the afternoon, turning into sheets of ice all over the metroplex.

the hail that comes out of nowhere is the bestest though..
