Yesterday, my friend Kristy died of a heart attack. She was in very poor health for the last several years. I'll miss her terribly. Today, I bought a new kitchen garbage can. Tomorrow afternoon, after it stops the endless snowing it's supposed to do, I'll be out on the end of my snow blower clearing out my lane, side of my house and back. Add to that, the pile the snow plow will pitch in to the end of my lane. If Terra comes around, no. I don't have to whore myself to the snowplow driver anymore to get him to drop the blade and clear out the end of my driveway since I've bought a snow blower. Don, keep a civil tongue in yer head boy ... I'm in no mood for your blowing jokes. I am sorry for your loss. Friends can't be replaced.

Always saw the bright side of things. Got all that snow cleaned up but more tonight so I'll be out tomorrow back at but at least I'll have help. Many hands make light work as my Mom always said. Someone has to explain the Terra/Merra thing to me. I'm a bit slow at some of the activities here since I was in Witness Protection. 🤣

Terra now called Merra, coz we voted him Mayor, didn't like the job but instead of resigning he went to Iceland. And that was the last we heard of him. He did post a picture of his backside before he went. I guess he's not coming back. That's another one I got rid of according to Facebook. 😁

My thoughts are with you, her family and other friends-may you lean on each other when you are feeling her loss. <3 Home snow moving equipment must be right up there with refrigeration, air-conditioning and garage door openers on the list of innovations to be grateful to have. I don't know how you deal with that. All that exercise is what keeps you so svelte!

Many hands make light work as my Mom always said. Someone has to explain the Terra/Merra thing to me. I'm a bit slow at some of the activities here since I was in Witness Protection. 🤣 My mom said something similar...that one and Idle hands are the devil's play things. In case donavan 's explanation was not crystal, here is what I figure it means...Terra is Mayor, therefore Terra + M (for mayor) - T = Merra. I still call them Terra. Choose your own name and gender(s), I say! I do miss Terra Incognita and I will have to continue to miss them. In fact, I will miss you all, as Tax Season is on and I will be working my regular six day weeks in the office for the next 14 weeks or so. Heavens to Betsy, let Tax Season not be extended again this year. Gas costs too much for that shit.

Mare .... I was just thinking about taxes. It's tax time here in Canada too. Glad to see you're still at that. You'll be busy for sure and yes, hopefully tax season won't be extended. I don't think we had an extention here. We just filed our taxes as normal.

Winter lethargy has me in its grip. Too cold, too little sun. I work less, but keep chipping away at it.

Where I live this morning at almost 7am it was -33C (-27F) That's actual temperature without the windchill. I had to drive Mr. Sooz to work at that time. Dark, still and way too fecking cold for humans. On the upside, as the day progressed we had lots of sunshine. We're just stuck inside but used to it. We get lots of mileage out of shows on Amazon Prime and Netflix.

It was a rather pleasant 3°C here today with no wind or rain. And we have had no snow or ice yet. Long may it continue.

There goes the Ex-Californian complaining about the weather again. Suzi, it does make me feel better when the sun is out, even if it is freezing.

I cannot find an English captioned version on a video sharing site to share, but I had seen and watched with English this film when looking for something calm and distracting not too problematic to watch while I sit in th dark with migraines issues. It was pretty excellent to the point of recommendation. Extra so if you can find an English text version. m.youtube.com/watch?v=0-eYgFUIy_cThis is a nearly 100 yr old silent German film on the state of knowledge at the time of Earth and the cosmos. It ends with some fanciful conjecture on future possibilities. I thought bit was visually delightful. Maybe one of you will like it too.

An old Jewish man dies and goes to Heaven. He asks if God wants to hear a holocaust joke. God agrees and the man tells the joke. God says, "That wasn't funny. It was offensive." The Jew pauses and replies, "I guess you had to be there."
