Well, after it finally stopped snowing, the "people in charge of official snowfall measurement" decided they could tell how much hit us (although how they can accurately measure sideways snow is beyond me). Anyway; we did NOT get the forecast 12"; we did NOT get the revised forecast of 6" either; WE GOT 16" of the nasty stuff.

Boy, I hope that's the end of it. It's still blowing around out there and it's really cold. Even after all that snow, I can still see patches of grass in the yard and, of course, other places where the snow is nearing the top of my six foot high fence. Did I mention how windy it was yesterday during all the storm and still is now.
Thanks for those kind words, LYNN, but yesterday ended up being even worse than Monday on the food front. Today is shaping up well, though. Hopefully I won't blow it again.
KREN . . . will answer your last question first.
If the yolk is in the egg it simply means that the person is currently on-line. For example, as I type this
both your egg and my egg have yolks meaning we are on-line, but Lynn's egg is yolk-less so she isn't here right now.
Okay about your ticker . . . you definitely have your twenty posts but
this is your 20th day of membership and I don't think you can have siggie privileges until tomorrow.
BUT -- be it today or tomorrow, here is what you do --
Go to the main purple navigation bar at the top lof the page and click on the first item, USER CP; then click on EDIT SIGNATURE which is the first item in the menu at the left side of the page; you will see the sample ticker bar and in the line written immediately under it, click on the first 'click here' that is at the begiining of the second sentence (after you read the rules, of course). Then, just follow the step by step directions and if you get inhto any trouble, come back here and let me know.
If you don't see EDIT SIGNATURE yet; guess you have to wait until tomorrow
Anyway . . . hope everybody has a great, warm, and sunny day on the go . . . I really need to live vicariously through all of you.
PS: Oh, oh -- by the time I posted, Kren's egg had gone blank -- guess I missed you, kiddo.
