A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

Shivers, laughter, and tears in your message this morning, Barbzeee. My birdbath looks just like yours. Told Belle and Bandit that the TV says keep your pets inside. I'm hoping the rv water lines will be ok too...I've never winterized in FL...don't even know how.

I haven't read your post yet, Sparkle, but my heart's aching for you. All of us who have had pets know how it feels to lose one. We love you and are sending you ((((hugs)))). Take care of that cold too. Soos is right, if you have a fever, you should see a doctor.

Barb, I got a laugh out of your hawk, Charlie, being Mr. White reincarnate!

Stay bundled up, all you in the cold states.

Good morning to all! I haven't read anything posts yet, but was checking in here for the morning update. Looks like I missed a lot. Sparkle, so sorry about your kitty. We have been busy doing "stuff". One of my foster pups, Mizi has mammary cancer. She has already ad one surgery. Now she must go in Monday for the second of three surgeries. I will post a separate thread in the Pets section. She needs all the good thoughts & prayers you'd care to send.

It is cold as a well diggers butt here too!! Keep dreaming of being someplace warm next winter!

Goooooood Morning Sistahs!

Brrrrrrr, is right!!!! Good gosh Gertie!! It's cold out there. Yahoo says it's 7f?? I know that it's colder than that out there. Dang I wish my thermometer hadn't broke. Last night on the radio while on the way home they said the wind chill was ZERO. Oh goodness, sure am glad that I don't really need to worry much about frozen pipes in this house. There's a little bit of heat in the cellar and all the pipes are wrapped. Now the little house we lived in when we first moved down here in '94', those pipes froze a few times. Simply dragged the kero heater thru the cellar window and set it up down there, thawed those pipes just fine. Don't have that heater any longer so if the pipes here DO freeze I am gonna be S.O.L.

Didn't win the lottery again. I know cause that's one of the first things I checked when I got my eyeballs open enough to read and comprehend. ~sigh~

Barbz I sure do like that meece of yours. Maybe he needs a girly type to skate with? Then they can do the couples thing and win the Great Mouse Olympics?????

Ok I'm gonna refill my mug, grab some of Barbz yummies and finish getting around ready for work. Blech!!! Well I can at least keep dreaming about winning the lottery!!! Oh yeah!

Hope everyone has a good day, stay safe and for heavens sake stay warm!!!!

Love to all

Only one more day and night of cold to get thru, then 4 nice, much warmer days to look forward to here. Nicky and I will stay house bound again today.
Still have catch up bookkeeping to do as well as cleaning up some clutter that seems to be multiplying when I'm not looking. Does not have the makings of a very interesting day.
Must find a task that requires more motion to burn off a few calories; actually a lot of calories. Fell off the healthier eating wagon last night. Consumed way too much of all the wrong stuff, in other words an eating binge attack.
Stay warm everyone.

I don't alway post here - as I'm not one of the bright-eyed, bushy tailed morning people - But I do always read it - and check out Zeee's graphics - and have to comment cuz that is my favorite one - well, maybe one of my top 5 at least. Thanks for the repeat, Zeee - and you can repeat this one any time you'd like

That said, I'm so glad my cold spells here have never taken it below freezing. I didn't winterize last year in 'bama - and the few times it went below freezing, it warmed up nicely during the day so wasn't a problem. But I did go out and turn on a little heater overnight on those night (and opened the cabinet doors) so that any lines with water wouldn't freeze up. This year, I would have been in trouble - as they've had real deep freezes there. I do think you're probably ok in FL - doubt that inside has gotten too cold or stayed there long enough to freeze things to the danger point. Good luck!

Yep, you notice I thanked Ernie right off for my being without hot water last night and so far today - hahaha - actually, yes, it was a good thing he reminded me to care for the hot water heater - I've got enough things going in my 10 year old rig - no reason to lose it to my own neglect! Or to be paying for something I can do for peanuts. But, remember, if you have friends helping you - don't let them throw anything away till you have it finished.

I'm signed up to play poker in the rec hall at 1. So, if the part isn't here by noon, yep, I'll go take a shower in the bath house. Meantime, I'm working online and doing stuff in here. Have already boiled some eggs - that reminds me - got to talk about that in gadgets and gizmos - and made some egg salad. That and some soup will be lunch today.

Have a great day everyone - and Sparkle - please get to feeling better. And give Shona a rub from me. Bogie also - don't want him to feel left out.

I sure hope it warms up for everyone soon! Especially for you all in places where it seldom gets down to such low temps, it probably feels much worse. It's supposed to be above freezing here today and maybe the sixties by Sat. so hopefully it will quickly move your way.

Hello-----------it is past morning---but I made it here------------
it is finally above freezing here-------& layers & layers & layers of ice & snow are melting!!!!!!!
Now they say lakes are above normal level & with all the snow & ice melting we might need to watch for flooding again!!!!
I swear where does the time go--------not only do the hours fly by but the days & weeks & months fly by!!!!!!!
Hubby & I both got new glasses yesterday---------it is darned amazing what you miss when you need to have your glasses changed-----came home & noticed new billboards all the way home----came home & saw dirty windows & mirrors----& things I had no noticed before---------probably was past time to have the glasses changed!!!!!!
