We used to make forts and tunnels out of these.

They used to do that, too. We have 2 giant piles on the sides of the driveway. I think I may move them each to their own igloo.

Cool tunnel!!! . . . Karen, is it big enough to make a tunnel for the car to get out of the drive thru?

Hubby keeps going out and hacking at the drive and them coming back in to say he can't make a dent then going back out to hack at the drive . . . etc . . . he's talking about using the ax . . . hope I can get him to the ER when he has a heart attack or accidently chops his foot off.

Be sure to put the severed toes into a snowdrift to keep them alive. You can always pack hubby into a snowdrift too, until the ambulance comes.

We had complex, intricate tunnels, with popup holes for the cat to play in. They could make a great playfort for Cooper

We got less snow than expected. The Toronto school board panicked last night and canceled classes for the first time since 1999. It was finished the first wave before we left home this morning. The second wave is beginning now.

Sounds like he needs a flamethrower :blink:

We were talking to the owner of a retail Maine Coon cat in Nevada whose cat dives into snow banks and tunnels through, popping up who knows where - doesn't need no humans to make his tunnels :lol:

Loey, so sorry about Clark's pending transfer - what another upset in your lives. Companies is heartless that's for sure. :(

Communication with Queensland is down for now - will have to wait to find out how they fared. :(

Around here, snows been minimal of late (though we should be good supposedly in the way of water supply due to the fact we had a good winter at the end of 2010, which I can''t see how. I don't remember getting a whole a lot of precipitation.) But we were supposed to get a crazy windstorm with a little bit of snow and ice yesterday morning that was supposed to chaos in the AM rush hour. Only got the crazy wind.

In other news... this thread is too serious again... so well here's the sillyness to last a century. A monday headline in the SL tribune read "Man robs credit union, rides off on mountain bike." The funny part? He actually got away on a mountain bike! As one of my friends said, "Who knew robbing a bank could be so easy!"

Another Monday headline "Millard county thieves carve hole in wall, door remains intact." In the article, it said that most robberies break in the door (well duh), but they carve d into the wall. (And if I remember correctly it was right next to the door.) And inside, unlike most robberies that are a get in get out, these people took time to go out of their way damage everything and so on so forth...

Simply love those mammoth ridges at the end of the driveway... . . . . ...there will be quite a pile there at the end o' this storm, to be sure. Think I will just shovel two spots in it, tire width, later on this afternoon and I can aim my car for them when I head out. :rolleyes:

Must take a pic of Elsie and Hank in their new Muttlucks, dog booties from up north. These guys have big, webbed feet, being water retrievers, so the psnaough just packs in between their toes and they cannot walk. The two look very adorable, but seem somewhat embarrassed around other dogs. . . .. . . ..

Low-eeeigh! So sorry to hear about more upheaval in your life. . . . . ...:(. . ..thinking about you!

Make sure there is good snow for us. We are coming in March!

My son, J, said that it takes the money from robbing a credit union to buy a good mtn bike!

We have had the hole in the wall robberies here. They break in a backdoor of a business without great security because it doesn't have anything to steal ( like an ice cream shop). Once in the shop, they break thru the wall into a locked vault room of a jewelry store. Take their time and get all the jewels.

Was that him on the news? There was a guy using an axe around his tires, trying to get his car out :o

That ice has to be at least 2-3 inches in some places on our driveway :unsure: I know it's about an inch and a half on the hood of my car.

You ever seen those heated driveways? THAT'S what I want! Of course, if we're talkin about things we would have if we could afford them, I wouldn't be living where I would need one.

correction from earlier: DD used a mallet, not a hammer.

They have cancelled school for tomorrow because it's too cold! Fortunately, they will let the teams into the schools after 11.

Could the parents go to school to get away from the kids? Grownups know how to use coats.

YO!!!! Missing Bunnie returns! It's EVER so much fun with the snow in Ct. My town usually lags behind the other towns by at least two hours, makes getting to work much fun. All you Canadians and Michiganers are up there laughing at the stupid New Englanders.....

:lol::lol: . . . yeah, I saw him, too!! . . . No, our vehicles are safely iced stuck parked in our garage.

We're out tomorrow as well . . . that kind of surprised me . . . at least the fact that they have already called it.

Shroom, they was talkin' about Australia on the national news tonite . . . hope everyone makes it out safe on the other side.

Holy Smores!!! Did somebody see a BunnKnee around here??

P.S. please all keep your eyes crossed for us. They're laying off more people than they're keeping. Having a weekend hubby would be better than us both being unemployed. Clark will have to start fighting crime and fly around in tights if he isn't transferred. A few of the men at work are talking about renting a house together. Wonder if it would be a frat house.

Thanks Em. Coming and talking to my psillies keeps me from screaming. I knew his company was known for doing this but we haven't even been here 7 months. At least we'll keep the house and I'll have all of you to keep me company while he's gone (if they don't lay him off).

Pleeze take the pics of Elsie & Hank. Could use all the smiles I can get right now!

Hugs,

Update on Yasi: Came onshore as a category 5, mostly missed Cairns and Townsville, but hit smaller communities in between hard. From the NZ Herald:

"Yasi made landfall at Mission Beach about midnight (AEST) when it was still a category five tropical cyclone.

The manager of the Elandra Resort David Brook said the area now looked like "Vietnam (in the war movie) Apocalypse Now".

Trees are down, cars have been swept away, roofs have been torn off and the sand on the beach is gone.

"Nothing's been spared. The devastation is phenomenal, like nothing I've ever experienced," the veteran of at least five cyclones told the ABC."

It has weakened as it headed inland and now down to about tropical storm level. So far no deaths or injuries reported. Yay!!! Have heard no phlooding reports.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      I think I am gluten intolerant

      By ElenaM · Posted

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.
