Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm afraid we're going to warm up enough that Saturday's precipitation is wintry mix that then freezes into a disaster.
That's exactly what I'm expecting here, too. I just went out, for the first time in three days, to refill the birdfeeder and lay in a few more supplies.
My next-door neighbors had their first baby February 16 and I just met him! Arun Kumar, a beautiful baby boy. His parents are just glowing.
We are expecting at least a foot of snow over the weekend but it is beautiful out today.
Y'all I just bought tickets to see Eddie Izzard in May!!! He is here in late May, a few days after CJ graduates high school, so these will be his grad present. So flipping excited but now I have to keep it a secret.
We are expecting even more snow in the mountains. Each year CJ's search and rescue team does a winter overnight where they go up, dig a snow cave, spend the night, and then come home the next day. That training is scheduled for this weekend and the chief just sent out a message postponing the training. Not worth the risk for training purposes but if they get an actual rescue call, they will head into the snow.
We're getting rain then freezing on Sunday. It does not bode well for my pre-Oscar potluck.
Sj, it was all, fuck you and you and YOU, taking care of me, finally. And Mellie. Oh, Mellie too.
I'm appreciative of this of late.
Yes, so awesome! I've been waiting for
Olivia to figure out that Fitz is kind of an asshole.

Stephen
! I loved
that character and wish he was staying.
I just got off the train from work. On Friday afternoon the train is often filled with people from up north going to downtown Chicago to party, and they start drinking on the train.
When I got off the train today I noticed the smell of pot smoke in the vestibule. Never noticed that before.
OMG, a coworker has her twin two-year-olds in the office, and they are both wearing Batman shirts with capes!
I wish I had Batman-caped two year olds! Instead, I'm headed off to help bargain the faculty contract. Why did I agree to this?
Re: appraisals: mine was literally a drive-by. The appraisers drove by and took a photo without even getting out of their car. If it's good enough for the bank, it's good enough for me, I guess.
I told the clerk at Dollar General it would be a miracle if I don't end up throwing my glass-breaker through someone's windshield before the day is over. Icy road conditions compounded by idiots talking on their cellphones and stopping suddenly for left turns without signaling.
Timelies all!
Ugh, got into a minor fender-bender in the parking garage at work this afternoon.(Person in front of me stopped for no apparent reason, I thought she might need to maneuver, so I backed up . Failed to look behind me and backed into the guy behind me.)
