Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Temperatures have been dropping all day here, and we're supposed to get the dreaded wintry mix overnight, and 3-6 inches of snow tomorrow (which I assume will end up being half an inch).
The downside of working from home is: no snow days. (The upside being, hey, employed.)
Nora, the cold front is hitting us today, so don't gloat too long. But the good news is that in about a week, it will be back up to 70.
When I checked the weather this morning for the place we used to live, it was 11 degrees. I am so glad not to be there any more.
Is this where I get to gloat about it being 80 degrees to get y'all back for taunting me about your lovely summer weather?
My brother just sent me pictures from his job interview in Barbados.
(Which he could us some serious ~ma for, by the way. Kid's been through the wringer the last few years.)
Both upstairs cats glommed RIGHT onto heating vent: check.
Thanks for bogarting the office heat, fuzzy assholes!
In passing I noted that Jim Cantore of the Weather Channel is in Dallas in anticipation of an historic ice storm... my rule is, if you see him within a hundred miles of you, evacuate to high ground immediately.

Yeah, it was pretty cold last week, but that was still in the 50s, so. I'll take it.
Oh, Teppy, check it out! [link]
(you probably know about it, and since Keller's name is attached, it probably costs more than gold, which is also gluten free, so.)
I've heard Keller's Cup4Cup flour is good...but costs more than gold. Some GF websites have tried to reverse-engineer it into its component flours by percentage so you can make your own, but if I tried that, the results would be horrific.
AND HILARIOUS.
Job interview in Barbados? That sounds pretty sweet!
I am annoyed at companies that constantly give huge discounts, until I decide it's time to buy, then I can't find one. But since I know they've offered 30% off two days ago, I'm then like "no, I want 30% off too!"
My dad called, and he said that my mom's tests all came back OK, so she's probably going home pretty soon.
