That's crazy - and also scary! I've had some weird (and rowdy) neighbors in my time but never anyone who made threats like that. You'd think the 24-hour-a-day ruckus going on would classify as something that the police could do something about, disturbing the peace at the very least.

Oh, yeah, that one's a favorite of mine. I once e-mailed the controller to ask her to set up a new general ledger account for "std & life benefits" and she came and asked me if I'd made a typo in the e-mail, because all she could think of was the other meaning, and she couldn't figure out why...

I'd never even heard of thunder snow until my sister who lives in Texas told me they'd had it. We don't very often have the kind of conditions that produce thunderstorms here at all, though. I assume thunder snow is a pretty unusual weather condition?

I didn't watch the Oscars because it would have interfered with watching The Walking Dead - one of my own personal t.v. addictions - but I saw pictures of Pink and thought she looked fabulous in that red dress.

Our weather has been colder than usual for this time of year (down into the teens at night) but it's been clear for about a week and is supposed to be for the rest of this week also, before we start getting some snow, and then rain. Even as cold as it's been, I can tell spring is on the...

I love it when that little thing called "karma" happens in a case like this. Just sit back and watch the fireworks!

We've had really windy weather here the last couple of days as well. It's been clear and cold, and for us to have heavy winds when it's like this is unusual. Usually our windstorms are accompanied by huge quantities of rain. We have a lot of trees around our house and I never sleep as well as...

My sister is quite heavy and she's had a number of MRIs and even though they assure her that the machines are more than big enough, she's always afraid she's going to get stuck inside it. She isn't claustrophobic,but she does freak out a bit at the thought that they may get her wedged in there...

Most of the scans/MRIs I've had done were when I was in a medically-induced coma years ago so I didn't have to worry about it! I have one very vague memory of being put into what I think was an MRI machine when I was a little less sedated but I don't remember much. The only other time I've...

That's not good. My husband is claustrophobic and he gets so nervous every time he has to have a CT scan or MRI. He had to have a scan of his head a couple of years ago and I thought they were going to have to sedate him just to get it done.

Yes, I had President's Day off, and I was very happy to not have to go out in the weather (except to walk the dog, which I did during a break in the snow). It was a great day to stay inside! Our forecast said that we were supposed to have "snow & rain showers" today, but right now when I look...

We're supposed to have warmish temps (low 40's), rain and winds up to 40 mph over the next 24 hours or so. That should wash much of the snow off, but will probably leave some patches of solid ice that are too thick to "rain off" during that time. Then it's supposed to drop back down below...

Well, yeah, it's "only" compared to the 2 feet my assistant got! :) She lives about 15 miles north of me and they got the brunt of the storm.

We are "finally" getting some actual winter weather...I knew we would eventually so we were just waiting for it to hit us. Granted, it's nowhere near as bad as many places, but in the last two days we've gotten up to 18 inches of snow in areas (only about 8 or 9 at my house) with a few more in...

When my son died, the best thing for me was to keep busy doing something, pretty much anything, that kept my mind occupied. If I didn't stay busy, I had too much time to think, which was not a good thing. My advice to people who ask usually is, find people who will be there for you when you...

When I took the test recently, I noticed that a lot of it was quite accurate to my personality. Which is interesting, because according to their assessment, there are any number of careers I'd be better suited to than HR. I really like HR and after 20+ years doing it, I've been told I'm good at...

I took it recently just for fun, and I am an ISTJ, so we have the T & the J in common, anyhow. :)

It seems to me that debate and forensics are just as much a competitive "sport" as anything...it's just an intellectual sport as opposed to a physical sport. They have teams, they have "games", they have tournaments, etc. And I've known some kids who did debate and they were every bit as...

Betty, I'm so sorry to hear about your brother. Take care of yourself and come back soon!

Did you see the internet meme that started going around during the game of Manning on the phone with the caption "Mom? Can you come get me?" or "Hello Beyonce? We need a blackout!" My DIL found those during the last half of the game and we were rolling on the floor laughing. At one point...
