Ice is super scary to drive on. Used to get it in Pittsburgh all the time. Hated it. Both for walking and driving!
I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.

We're home safe. The main roads are clear. The side roads still have some black ice. 3 idiots passed me on a dangerous road on the way home because I was going 5 mph under the speed limit just to be cautious.

Idiots is right. Good to hear you are home safe and sound.

Thanks, Laura. One of them nearly collided with someone on the other side of the yellow line.

I once saw one of those drivers sliding down a major street downtown sideways. People in this area tend to pretend we don't really get snow ... until we do and then they panic (run to the grocery and buy out the milk, bread, eggs and toilet paper ... and booze) often without snowtires.

They usually learn their lesson, but unfortunately they also smash into other people along the way. Grrr
So, I mentioned my niece and her 2 girlfriends going on a cruise. 2 are single but the girl I didn't know has 5 children. FIVE! She is only in her late 20s and it is a she had 2, he had 2, and they have one together situation, but they are all little ones living at home. I'm just saying that is a most excellent husband taking charge of stuff so his wife can take off for a week of girlfriend shenanigans. Lots of husbands are really helpful with the kids, but saying "I got this, go have fun dear" with 5 kids at home is pretty awesome.

Wow yeah, five kids is a LOT! Even with two people!
I am hanging out in the hospital cafeteria because I got a radioactive injection earlier and now have to wait 4 hours to it to get to my extremities before they scan my ankle. At this point I'm figuring it won't show anything—my ankle had been hurting a lot, but since I went to the doctor two weeks ago has been FINE. Argh. (Though the arm they put the injection in feels weird, that may be psychosomatic)

Wondering which superpower meara will get. We have quite a smite list accumulated when you are ready.
