Edit: According to time and temperature, we are now plus thirty-five at 9:10. If you look at the various weather sites, they have us anywhere from plus 18 to plus 39. I'm not sure where they're getting their information, but I'm sticking to Time and Temperature.

It's nice to see so many people checking in to the Soda Shop, I wish I had more to offer, but it's a very quiet time with not much going on.

Amy · February 13, 2024, 01:39:37 PM

Rick , I have to agree with you on the snow....the beauty is worth it. Big lazy snowflakes falling here, now the trees are dressed in cottonballs.

Phyllis, I don't mind th white stuff but when it becomes wet white stuff I don't think anyone likes it..not even our neighbour that has a plow truck.

Callie, will the "nanny" show them how to make snow angels?

Patricia, it took my friend 3 weeks to get over the viral infection she had. Nasty thing that settled right in on her. Your friends are being well looked after and now with being on meds and in hospital will get better faster.

Finsihed my tea....going to go sew.

Lloyd Hammond · February 13, 2024, 06:03:04 PM

Hello, I've been in the hospital. Trying to catch up on lost time. How is everyone doing?

Lloyd

Amy · February 13, 2024, 06:10:29 PM

Good to see you Lloyd! Hope you are better now. We are doing good here. How is Nancy?

CallieOK · February 13, 2024, 07:00:41 PM

Amy, The twins, who she calls The Nuggets, are 4. She's already taught them to make snow angels and helped them learn to sled. Theres a nice park near their apartment and she's very creative about thinking of things to do. She'll draw straight lines in various patterns and have them "tight walk" along them. Other children have joined in and, a couple of times, adults even tried.

Glad to see Lloyd and hope you're feeling well.

JaneS · February 13, 2024, 08:14:03 PM

Hey, LLOYD, you made it! Don't forget to come back. We miss you!

I love coming in and "seeing" people here! Come back when you can. Our snow is off the roads but still in the grassy areas and when the plow our road, there's always a big bump of snow right at the end, just past my driveway. I'm the last house on my side of the road. And it sure takes that snow a long time to melt! And now the weather report is saying that we can expect more on Thursday. I sure hope it's clear by the time we need to be in Philadelphia for my grandson's wedding!

Sleep well tonight and enjoy tomorrow. Come back and let us know what you're up to!

JaneS · February 13, 2024, 08:16:03 PM

Whoopie!!!
Hooray!!!!
Hallelujah!!!
I finished all the extra eye drops and warming!!!!
My days are my own again!!!!

Amy · February 13, 2024, 08:44:04 PM

Yaý , Jane that is good news! Now your time is your own.

Callie, a video of those walking the tight rope would be very entertaining!

CallieOK · February 13, 2024, 09:24:05 PM

I should have said the "tight walk" lines are drawn with chalk on the sidewalk.

Yay, Janie!!!!! Always great to finish a medical treatment. Celebrate!!!

Vanilla-Jackie · February 13, 2024, 11:38:39 PM

Lloyd...
...welcome back, so happy to see that you managed to get in...eventually..

Amy · February 14, 2024, 06:48:38 AM

Good morning.

What a difference in temps! Starting at 2° but no new sonw until tomorrow.

Getting an oil change this morning then home to work about.Didn't get the baked beans done yesterday so that is also on the lish.

Jane, now you have all that spare time that you are not doing drops!!

Callie, even so lines in the snow it would still be fun to see the antics.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

phyllis · February 14, 2024, 09:10:50 AM

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

patricia19 · February 14, 2024, 12:19:15 PM

Jane, great news! I'm happy for you to have reached the end of those drops! Now to find if it was worth it all.

Plus 28 presently, our low for the day at 8:06am. Farrah was sick yesterday, threw up a few times and spent most of the day crawled under a shelving unit. However, today she ate and purred when getting strokes and pats, while hanging out in the open, so she's better again. Which makes me feel better again.

Everyone in the meets and greets is doing well, even our hospitalized friend is stabilizing, so that's good.

It's nice to see everyone here, and Happy Valentine's Day to all!

JaneS · February 14, 2024, 12:44:57 PM

Well, here we are again! I've been trying to get my stuff together to make sure it all fits and to start packing. I've decided that I'll do the final packing on Friday. My Son, DIL and granddaughter are giving me a ride to Philadelphia. They said they're leaving at noon on Saturday. There's a fun gathering of friends on Saturday night for supper and fun. I think that starts at 6 or around there. We'll check into our hotel first and then go there. The wedding is Sunday afternoon!

AMY, you made me hungry for baked beans and that's what I'm having for lunch! They were quickies but goodies!

Nice to see everyone...CALLIE, AMY, PATRICIA, PHYLLIS, JACKIE, and LLOYD yesterday! Keep coming around! I need company!

The sun is shining today but we are supposed to have more snow tomorrow! I hope that's it until our wedding is over and everyone is safely back home! Enjoy the rest of your day Everyfriend!

Amy · February 14, 2024, 02:18:46 PM

Jane, I have been side lined and the baked beans didn't get done. Oil change was done then home to pick up Kyle and off to the lumber store. Friend just left with goodies and he dropped off goodies for me. She is cleaning out her sewing room and I have been the recipient of fabric and panels.

Patricia, happy to read the Farrah is better.....we sure can worry about our furkids..

Better get back at it..

Denver · February 14, 2024, 02:33:26 PM

Loved reading all of the posts‼️

Holding good positive thoughts for Lennie, JANE. Sounds like he is going to be just fine. Happy for your family as they gather together for the wedding❣️ Yippee....the eye drops are done🥰

SO good to see you LLOYD❣️ Give my best to Nancy🥰

We are having a delightful time in SF with our family. I am feeling great and without any doubt this time away is doing me good‼️ Last night we went out to dinner....We road to and from in a driverless vehicle. I sat shotgun and it was great. I had no issues at all with its driving. It is a bit strange and definitely could freak one out,,,,but not me‼️

PATRICIA...Good to hear Farrah is doing better. Glad you have warmed up a bit.....one of the sons told me we are going to be in the 50's next week at home and I am looking forward to it😁

PHYLLIS, your meal you described sure sounded yummy. We have been eating like kings and queens since we have been here.... Might not want to get on those scales when I get home....but I have been doing quite well with my weight loss. I wish you more FEEL BETTER days‼️

AMY, I have to admit I was a bit surprised that you did not get the backed beans done🤣🤣🤣🤣 Good girl....giving your self a break at times‼️‼️

Have a wonderful day EVERYFRIEND 💖

patricia19 · February 14, 2024, 03:07:38 PM

We're melting! I can't remember where that phase came from, perhaps from The Wizard of Oz, but it fits today.

..Temperatures Near Freezing The Next Several Days Over The Interior...

Strong southerly chinook winds blowing across the Alaska Range will continue into Wednesday and possibly into Thursday. Temperatures this morning have risen into the 30s this morning along many highways across Interior Alaska, with some lower 40s occuring south of Fairbanks. These warm temperatures will cause walking and driving surfaces to become slippery. Some valley locations north and east of Fairbanks will remain below freezing.

Temperatures will remain very warm along the Alaska Range through Thursday and partial melting of snow and ice may occur, making travel surfaces more slippery.

Areas further north such as near Fairbanks will likely have hill top temperatures remain near freezing the next several days, while valleys will have temperatures fluctuate from near freezing during the day and back into the teens or single digits at night. This will cause travel surfaces in hills to become more slippery over the next several days as snow and ice starts to melt. Valley locations could get more slippery as well.

I don't know how this will apply locally as we've been in the thirties to forties and twice reached 50 during the last week or so. We did have four inches of snow and that has been melting.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Denver · February 14, 2024, 03:11:42 PM

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY 💖

Tomereader1 · February 14, 2024, 04:11:26 PM

Happy Valentine's Day to all here!

Sun shining brightly, temp at approx. 67 degrees.

JaneS · February 14, 2024, 09:23:04 PM

Nice to see everyone today. DENVER, so glad you are enjoying your visit with your family. I think I might cringe in a car that drives itself!

I've put in a very busy day and I'm heading for the haystack. I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow! Make the day your own in every way! And don't forget to share it with us!

Amy · February 15, 2024, 06:32:28 AM

Good morning..

We are to get snow later on this afternoon.I won't complain if it loses its way and doesn't show up!

Work around home with some bread making thrown in. Kyle asked if we had any raisin bread and we do not so raisin bread it is.

Jenny, like Jane I too am not so sure riding in a car with no driver would be a comforting drive. Are these computer generated addresses? What happens if there is a road block or a road closure?? You have nerves of steel girl!

Better get the day started.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · February 15, 2024, 08:00:32 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! It seems like I've been up and attem forever. I got a lot of stuff done since I didn't have to take time out for eyes.

After his surgery, Cooper is on some kind of medication that seems to make him need a walk before his breakfast in the morning! And he knows how to tell me that!

One more day and then we're off to Philadelphia for Kyle and Tori's wedding! They don't seem to be as "shook" as I am about it! I'm sure they have everything well planned. Kyle has always been that way and I get the impression that Tori is that way too!

I better keep moving today or I won't be ready. I wish you all a good day. Make it your own in every way! And don't forget to share it with us!

patricia19 · February 15, 2024, 11:02:39 AM

Good morning from a cooler, cloudless, Interior at plus twelve, moving toward a high of plus 21.

Nothing new here., Farrah has recovered from her illness, Meet and greets are doing well, one is recovering at home and the other is stabilized in the hospital. The rest of us are keeping a low profile.

I wouldn't feel safe in a driverless car, either. Sorry Jenny.

RAMMEL · February 15, 2024, 11:23:57 AM

After driving myself for so many years, I had trouble sitting in the passenger seat as either of my sons drove. Tried to put my foot through the floor more than once. I can't imagine me in a driverless car.

Amy · February 15, 2024, 12:47:33 PM

Tried to put my foot through the floor more than once.

I am with you on that..yet I can drive fast(which I thought I would never be able to do) and it doesn't bother/scare me a bit. Let someone else drive like that I and I am shaking!

Raisin bread is out of the oven cooling, will put a loaf and a knife in the hidey hole to slice off and enjoy. Beans are finally on cooking in the IP....

Going to go sew for a bit ..

Amy · February 15, 2024, 02:17:58 PM

Snowing out now, gone are bare areas on the paths out back.
Wonder what morning will bring?

JaneS · February 15, 2024, 04:24:08 PM

Had two slices of raisin bread. UmmmUmmmGood!

MarsGal · February 15, 2024, 04:41:53 PM

Yipee! Xfinity finally got my new cell phone working. I ended up with a new number because the communications between TracFone and Xfinity Mobile are problematic. My cell was one of the ones that refused to port over my cell phone number to the new phone. Apparently TracFone has a reputation for not porting numbers, as least to Xfinity, I don't know if other cell companies have the same problem. Well, I really didn't like that because all the futzing around with trying to get the number to port cost me a free phone. Now I have to pay for the phone because no one could get it to work in the allotted time they gave. Now I have to pay for the phone regardless. Even if I sent the phone back, per contract, I was obligated to pay for the thing. The upshot of all this is a waste of 9 or 10 hours, the price of the phone to be paid, and I now have two working cell phones. Except for during this move, I barely ever use the cell. The good news is that the basic monthly cost is no more than I pay TracFone, and I can cancel that anytime. I plan on deactivating my account with them. In the meantime, I have a spare cell that I can reactivate if Xfinity gives me any more crap. The TracFone is a G4, the Xfinity cell is a G5. I do like some of the features on the new phone, but the keypad is touchy while at other times, when I press a button, it doesn't take and I have to press several times to get it to do its' thing. Xfinity, whose CSR's I have always held in high regard, has now joined FIOS in the next to impossible to get a live body category. Those fake assistants never give you a workable answer. I did find somewhere along the line that if you press 9 on the keypad you supposedly get a live person to talk to. I haven't tried it.

Tomorrow Sue and I are meeting at the house for another pack and move session. I still have some books, most of my kitchenware, and other odds and ends, including my printer which I discovered I need to update my driver's license online. It turns out that they only give you 15 days to do it.

phyllis · February 15, 2024, 04:56:55 PM

MG, Tracfone is owned by Verizon now and they always seem to have issues, here in my town, anyway.
