Good news from radiologist! Nothing showed up on mammogram or ultrasound (they did both today, so I'm good to go until my regular check in July.
Current temp here in Louisille if 28, or 29 degrees. Supposed to make it to at least 30, if not 32 mid afternoon.
Lunch is now on the warmer/serving station. Leftover roast, taters, carrots, etc., along with some country pork backbone ribs.
Everyone stay warm, safe and take care.

Paula, I too am hoping that your mammogram comes out negative, and that you are not having to deal with *** cancer. I lost both of my parents to cancer. I am having some medical issues of my own, and for this reason I am no longer able to work and consider myself retired.
Right now we have a temp of 14.5 degrees here in Sioux Falls and the wind chill factor is at 7 F. It is supposed to warm up to about 31 here tomorrow afternoon. To the rest of you folks out there, stay warm!
ooo ooo ooOOOOOo
Good morning and thanks for breakfast. Currently 15 degrees and clear in Carolina. I am really concerned about things with water in them, even though they all have antifreeze. This kind of weather is most unusual for this part of the country. Paula, I hope your test comes up negative. Keep us advised. I haven't played pool in years. it was a lot of fun, but I seemed to lose a lot of times. Everybody take care and STAY WARM, especially you MOW types

Good Monday morning ,everyone. Hope you all enjoyed the dinner yesterday of the roast, taters, carrots, etc. I thought I'd get you some diversity of meal choices from all the soups, etc.
We went out last night, and played pool. Walt bought me a cue stick that is just my size (kid size), and I managed to get about 3 or 4 balls into a pocket. Need a lot of practice. We all had new cue sticks, so it was a learning experience for all three of us last night. But it was fun, and nice to be out of the house for a few hours.
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate, hot cider and hot water for tea are all ready to go. All the regular breakfast menu is on the warmer serving station.
This morning, I have to be go for another mammogram. They want to make sure that the knot from a couple of months ago is completely gone (thought it might be just a calcium deposit, or something), so they want to do a follow up this morning. So, just in case I'm not back, there's plenty of roast, etc., in another extra large Crock Pot for lunch. It's already plugged in and is on low, so it'll be ready when you all are.
Everyone have a good morning, enjoy your breakfast, stay warm, be safe and take care.
ModelcarNo doubt, the buildings are not constructed with heating in mind when located in southern Fl. and on out on Key West.
Quentin, it is true. The sub-tropical climate of South Florida does not induce builders to plan for central heating. Even in Ocala, the weather is expected to be mild--but one Christmas vacation (in the fifties) when I was in college in Bristol, Tennessee, some of the girls from the more northern climes went home with a girl from Ocala, and were quite cold during their stay, because there was no heat in the house.

Willy: We were at minus 10 again this morning. Barbara asked me if we could go to Key West early this year. We like Sugar Loaf Key which is about 12 miles before Key West. I'll wait and see what March looks like. We booked the boat trip out to Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas Islands last year. I recommend that trip.
.....Cold weather in southern Florida such as being experienced now is cold.....I have experenced 47 degrees while in Miami many years ago and while waiting for a flight back to the north, I about froze.....I don't know what it is, but I'm saying I was cold....We have experienced some very uncomfortable cold at Disney World too....Especially remember waiting for the Monoral train {outside}, at the Polynesian Hotel at night when the weather was down similar to above and about shivered my skin off....Of course a person is not dressed properly {for that}, sometimes, especially there and that enters into it too. Sweat shirts being over at our hotel, {Comtempory}, didn't do us much good not being with us.....
You can see from where I grew up that I know what northern cold is too.
Now for them to be commenting about opening shelters, etc., when temps get into the 40's is a bit difficult to understand. No doubt, the buildings are not constructed with heating in mind when located in southern Fl. and on out on Key West.

Perhaps I'm cruel and insensitive, but 50 degrees is just simply not cold. Willy, I am in total agreement with you on this point. I used to have a couple friends who lived down in Loserana (my deliberate misspelling of Louisiana), who would think 50 degrees was pretty cold, but have never experienced a blizzard with sub-zero temperatures in the upper mid-west. Still looks like we might hit 30 degrees by Tuesday.

Good Morning everyone:
We had an overnight low of 20 here in Alamo City. If we had dropped into the teens, that would have been the first time since 1989 we has to back to back lows in the teens.
Everyone enjoy your Sunday, dress accordingly, please allow time for your cars/trucks to warm up, and be safe in these temperatures!
Good Sunday morning, everyone. Ray, thanks very much for breakfast this morning. I kept trying to get in here, but had slight, minor computer problems that kept me from getting here.
Everything looks really good this morning!
We have the cloud cover, so we only got down to 18 overnight, and supposed to get up to 24 degrees F. this afternoon, 30 tomorrow, and 32 for Tuesday. I sure hope so.
I've got Sunday Dinner going in the Crock Pots: Beef roast w/potatoes, carrots, onions, and plenty of gravy, cornbread, homemade buttermilk biscuits, green beans, peas, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cream style corn, cole slaw and garden salad. A little something for everyone, I think.
And for dessert: homemade from scratch, brownies w/nuts and chocolate icing on them, Dutch apple pie, cherry and blueberry cobblers.
Everyone enjoy your day, stay warm, keep safe, and take care.
......Many areas are so much worse off with this terrible weather than we have been these past two weeks or so....I just saw some live {news}, reporting from out on the plains of Nebraska.....Terrible conditions.....
Here, this morning....we had 14.4 degrees and very little wind two hrs ago or so.....They have been saying today would be a really nasty, cold January day and then we will enter into a trend of moderation as the new week unfolds.
I know what Winter can do....Having grown up in southwestern Pennsylvania in a small town of about 2100' elevation, so our warm thoughts go out to folks who are under these extreme conditions. Jen, hope you and Driver are facing this stuff just by looking out the windows.
And the scenes from Europe are pretty extreme too....Areas that generally get a lot of rain in Winter, are being subjected to the real Winter effects.
Global Warming.....????? Who knows about what is going on....For sure, something has jet streams, ocean temps. and currents all out of the normal routine so....something is really upsetting our climates "normal" activity with instead, extremes.
Ray - A good, hot breakfast for a cold morning is appreciated!
Currently -12F, up from an overnight low of -21F. I was up briefly at 2AM and saw plenty of stars. The clouds have now rolled in, which may help warm things up a bit, but they're also supposed to start giving us some snow a little later.
After breakfast, a bearclaw, and some tea, it's off to projects, again!

Ray thanks for breakfast.It is very chilly here in nw ohio.Time to get ready for church and sunday school.Then its back to work tonight.
Good morning! For breakfast we have oatmeal, buttermilk pancakes and waffles with hot maple syrup, bacon and pork sausage links, and blueberry muffins. We also have hot chocolate, orange juice, and the coffee here is about finished brewing.
It's finally supposed to warm up to about 25 degrees F here in the Dakotas this afternoon, and I hope that the rest of you folks will feel the effects of this warming trend. Right now we have a temp of -2 below 0.
It was 16...YES...16 degrees here in Alamo City overnight....
We are expecting teens again tonight...that will be the first time since 1989 we have had back to back evening with temps in the teems.......
Stay warm!
Thank G-d for global warming. Otherwise it would be really cold......
Hmmmm. Pizza sounds good - Especially on this frigid evening. Only 8:30 pm and it's already minus 12F. The Dal gets to stay home again tonight. Hopefully I will, too, although I've brought my turnouts in from the truck so I can leave the house already dressed if we get a call.
Decluttering (which will be a lengthy process), is progressing.
Taking a break from doing laundry, and running a full virus/spam scan on the computer. Thought I'd pause the scan, so I could get in here and post the pizza menu for tonight:
1. Cheese w/extra cheese
2. Goetta
3. Hawaiian
4. Pepperoni/mushroom
5. Supreme
6. Italian sausage pizza and Italian sausage calzones
Now, to get back to the scanning of the puter.
Cannonball.....That's a good description of the event. Bouncing off each other....
.....Cats really can give that image....."stupid dogs".....They can simply walk {inside}, to their warm litter box}.
16 degrees currently and 75% sunny skies with light winds. Earlier this morning it was around 5. Both dogs were rarin' to get outside ASAP...and just as rarin' to get back in and cuddle under the bed. The youngest cat, Chace, simply looked at the shivering dogs this morning from his warm, sunny spot in the window. He then looked at me, meowed as if to say "Idiots!", and then abruptly fell asleep.Score:Cat: 1Dogs: 0

Woke up to beautiful clear skies this morning, and around -12F. Unlike Willy's cloud blanket, we had 'radiational cooling.'
Much to his chagrin, the Dal didn't go for a walk this morning (or last night). He has his booties, but the rest of him doesn't have much insulation.
Back to decluttering.
Quentin; sounds like a big pinball game with ( flippers) ~~ black ice always wins the game.

We have 24.8 at noon.....Not bad, compared to how it has been here and a large area of the country. Just a half inch of flurries over night, and that brings our total now {for the season}, to 13.5"....That's half our avg. for the complete season.
Now to get rid of tomorrow, which is to be a cold one, then we look for a bit of moderation in temps. Some sunshine too....
Watched some sliding and banging between motorists down in Atlanta on cable news this morning....Why they were coming down grades on the streets with little caution and seemingly solid ice on the streets....?? Totally out of control.....Some vehicles being hit several times.
Some clouds saved us from the deep freeze last night. We were supposed to get down to -25, but the low was actually just -1 with the clouds in place. For those that don't know, clouds act as a blanket and keep heat from escaping, thus holding temperatures up at night.
Good morning. 22 degrees and partly clear in Carolina an hour after sunrise. Supposedly, the high today is 41 and then 19 over night. The replacement part for the furnace still hasn't come in, so the heat pump is pumping up the electric bill a mite. Like Paula said, everybody take care, stay warm and safe.
Well, it's another COLD morning here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, right now we have a temp of -19 degrees below 0, but at least there is no wind. Yesterday I could not figure out why my house was so cold, so I went into my basement to look at furnace and I discovered there was a loose connection between 2 different wires. I stripped some insulation from both wires, twisted them together and wrapped my connection with duct tape, and that seemed to take care of the problem at least for a while.
Joe, thanks much for fixing breakfast this morning for the rest of us! And to the rest of you out there I would say "stay warm", and don't travel unless you absolutely have to!
Good Saturday morning ,all. Joe, when you were in here, fixing breakfast, I was just waking up. Thank you very much for taking care of breakfast, and sorry about being so late getting in here.
Sounds like you all are going to have a busy, busy day.
If anyone is in the Kentuckiana (Ky. & Indiana) area, there is a big train show at the Convention Center this weekend. Should be a good one, but I kind of doubt that any of us will go.
Everyone have a good day, stay warm, be safe, and take care.
