    Poor old thing. I'm glad she thought better of a rabbit chasing adventure.

    Ugh, woke up in pain at 3am. Must have slept wrong and crushed something. Currently sitting on the couch with a bag of pearl onions like I just had a vasectomy. :rofl: :lol:

    Ouch. I hate waking up in pain. Unfortunately the only way I can roll over at night is to wake up, slowly move into action, roll over and hopefully get back to sleep.

    I’m with you on this one. I can’t get more than a couple hours of straight sleep because of my arthritis pain. There are times where I groan and even scream when I try to move when I wake up. Takes me 20+ minutes sitting on the side of the bed to work out the stiffness and pain every morning.

    Yes. The weather people do change the definition of a blizzard from time to time. Seems I remember too that once the temperature had to be below 10 or something like that but don't think that is the case today.

    The trouble is, blizzard sounds fantastic and can throw a scare into people. You can thank the media people for that.

    Somehow that reminded me of when we sold a house near Gaylord, MI. People said every time they came home from town for the next month or more the dogs would be sitting on top of the house. The snow level was up to the eave line so it was easy for them to get up there. I also remember sending our son out to see how much propane was in the tank. He had to shovel down a few feet to get to the tank so he could read the gauge.

    At least it is not so windy today but the wind we have is a cold one. It appears we should lose our snow next week and that is okay with me.

    Oh Al I'm sorry. I must switch sides atleast 10 times per night because of my hips, but thankfully I fall asleep again till next roll over.

    Well today is uneventful. Just enough breeze to make the trees sway a little. A few flakes here and there. So yesterday was our bad day. Most of the storm stayed north of us. I even seen the sun peek out for a while.

    Glad you can get at least some rest between rolling over. The problem I have is Psoriatic arthritis and every part hurts when I’m still for any length of time and involuntarily move during the night. All those meds you see on TV have never gotten me to where I was pain free, but I’m afraid to stop taking them. I’m jealous of Phil Michelson in those commercials though. Lol. Enough of my rant for today.

    After reading your posts I think you are my twin. I sit on the edge of the bed every morning deciding how loud I want to scream. I haven’t taken their poison yet, haven’t decided if I want quality or quantity of life yet.

    Ouch! The gel effect? The amount of new biologics commercials I see on TV blows my mind! Does psoriatic use the trusted true old standby Methotrexate?


    Ouch for you too Brandon Scott :(

    So, when you put up a garage door some parts a labelled left and right...and assumes you are inside the garage looking out. Makes sense.

    The door springs, however, assume you are on the outside looking in. Yup, put them on backwards...door bound up....spent forever trying to figure out where and why. I f*&%$#% hate those guys that decided this was a good idea.

    Just need to install 2 pieces of trim and 3 pieces of weatherstripping and the garage project, except for heat, is done. I'm thinking about getting the floor ground and putting down some epoxy paint, but that won't be until the summer, at the earliest.
