Official Squatch Watchers

It is 52 with a high of 59 today. It might rain later

I'm dying of jealousy here Ron. We're supposed to have a high of 26 today. Lake effect snow through out the day. It's hit or miss where I live, but normally Nunny gets a good bit of it. Earlier this week her area was predicted to get between 8-16" of snow. We've got enough to cover the ground, but not enough to cancel anything.

I feel for you!

I have a couple more years an I can retire. I will not go to 75! Hopefully just after turning 60

I get PERS so I'm *supposed* to get full benefits at 32 years, which would be when I'm 50, but I have to meet the min age requirement. So I need to be 57 to get my full pension. And unless some things change in the next 20 years, I won't have insurance until I qualify for medicare. I'm def not going to work until I'm 75. If I'm still here in 40 years it's only b/c I can't figure out how to file the paperwork, so if that's the case, someone please save me. Only ~7100 more days to go.

Bleh, who knows. All I know is that it was 12 hours of absolute misery and now I still have to be careful with what I eat so it doesn't hurt. It's getting better each day though Sauerkraut has been my friend lol

Glad it's getting better. I have my fingers crossed that my kids don't get sick. They've both had friends missing school recently b/c they were sick.

Sunny and 41° here with a high of 62.

BUT snow on the heels of the warm.

We've got a wonderful 27° here with the wonderful wind blowing. It's not snowing but the snow on the ground keeps blowing the roads making everything slippery.

Well that sucks. Odd that he left the lungs and kidneys. I've never done it, so are they in some weird place that's hard to get to or something? At least you got these ones done and you do have someone who can do the majority of it if you need it done and can't find someone else. If you do use him again, maybe you need to tell him to remove the lungs and kidneys.

Actually, it isn't odd at all. The lungs are stuck to the ribs along either side of the spine, and the kidneys are stuck to the back along either side of the spine below the ribs all the way to the tail. They are tricky to get out by hand, but I do it. There is a reason why there is such a thing as a lung rake for processing.

@pitbullmomma, Don't get upset with me for mentioning lung rakes.

We went through that w/ a friend who has a wheat allergy b/c she was upset that she can't have pizza from the shops anymore. All the places have the same disclaimer b/c they use the same pans, oven, counter, etc. It's a use at your own risk thing. It appeases all the ppl who do the gluten free diet but don't have the medical need to avoid gluten. Dominos actually says that their gluten free crust is pre-made. You could always call a local store and see if they are individually packaged. If they are, you could probably just buy one and make your own pizza at home.. but if that's the case you may already have a gf dough you use. I know my friend makes pizza, but I have no idea what she uses for the crust.

That sounds like more trouble than it is worth. I would rather buy a gluten free Frechetta pizza at wally world.

Yeah, that's what my friend decided too. Plus it's only a small and it's ridiculously expensive. Frechetta pizzas are actually really good for frozen pizza.

I'll take it, 18* at the moment... This cold front needs to go back to Ohio where it came from.

I think our two Ohio friends love you so much they sent you a present.

I certainly don’t want it! I was MIA yesterday because I shoveled for 3 hours then went back to bed. I’m still sore and tired. Supposed to get a little more.

The saga continues... Yesterday my boss was trying to help a patron (which isn't her job) and roped in about 1/2 dz other people, and one of the ladies got in trouble by our asst director b/c it's not her job to help patrons either. She works in the back, we have specific people whose job it is to help people, but my boss wandered up and decided to help and when she couldn't figure it out she started recruiting everyone else. She even tried to get our fiscal officer in on it, AFTER the asst director explicitly told her that she wasn't to be doing it either. This is going to be a long month.
Mind you, my boss is the IT manager... instead of doing her job, ordering the things she was supposed to order months ago, she's running around the building sticking her nose in everywhere. But if I talk to anyone she runs over and asks if I'm causing trouble. She's over 75 by now and really needs to retire. She keeps complaining to me about things not working on the verizon site and won't accept that she needs to contact them about it, so every time she complains I've started going to the verizon site and doing site feedback begging them to fix things so she'll leave me alone. This is not how a job should be. Only 20 more years. Only 20 more years.

Oh lordie. I’m so sorry. What a headache.

Funny. You never hear about CHOCOLATE being contaminated do you?
