Not tomorrow or the weekend either. It like walking on an iceberg in front of my house. I had moved the car further down the driveway just to check if it would move..but I can't,t get to it. It is worse walking than the other...

Marie Coyle @snowy22315 Most definitely you do not want to fall on ice and be hurt. I've done that before, and it's not fun at all!

So our distract adds snow days into the calendar, but I have heard some public schools in states add days to the school calendar when they have snow days. I went to a private school (if you had seen our local public schools...

Marie Coyle @AmbiePam I can recall some snow days from grade school. Chicago does get big snows and that's where my early years were spent. Depending on where we lived, and how much snow. I also recall that in the 3rd or 4th grade, one of the bus drivers to my school had...

So, if you didn’t read my discussion yesterday, I’ll briefly recap: my childhood best friend’s dad is in the hospital. He was somewhat out of his mind (you can go back and read about it if you want), and has several health...

Marie Coyle @AmbiePam I think she was, too. I hope this is the end of it all, but the way you described the mother, I have to wonder just what else she will do in the future. All very concerning, and very sad.

A few weeks ago, I thought that the flu warnings were overblown and exaggerated. Evidently not. Our ER's are full--I mean, really, really full. The hospitals here or close by seem to be recommending that you not really go to the...

Today my son had an appointment we did not want to miss. The appointment was about 14 miles away. Easy-peasy, right? But the roads aren't good...his appointment was at 9 AM. We left at 7:20 AM. I was nervous about getting him...

I haven't been here much for 3-4 days. My son did have a very tiny apartment not far from me. Circumstances change, of course, and for now, he lives with me. There just isn't another option, and when he didn't, I was over there...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck I have had to plan meals ahead for years. I worked and had a family, it was the only way I could manage it all.

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck But sadly, those people in love with money seem only interested in having more and more money, that is their main goal in life. I don’t have money and if I did, I know I would first spend it on getting my son as well as I could first, but with so...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck It helps so much to know that I can put some good food on the table for my son and myself in short order without much fuss or mess on a busy day. I don't know how I would manage without planning ahead.

Winter brings snow here, so of course I am used to it. This was an intense storm. We were not supposed to get what we did for snow totals--some say we got 8 inches, some 9 inches, some 10. I did the yardstick thing off the front...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck It's not even in our forecast at the moment as to exactly when it will reach above freezing--but I do know that on the next 7 day's weather, we don't reach that point. The stuff that's on the ground is not going anywhere for awhile.

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck Oh, I am glad he has some medication that helps. I know when my back hurts, it seems to affect me all over and it's so painful. And it's good that the pharmacy is so close by!

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck I keep frozen homemade soup in small containers for times when one or both of us wants soup and it's been a big day, or a day of appointments, etc. it helps a lot.

Marie Coyle @LindaOHio Yes, I hope you can have her over more than once a week like cousin #2 was doing. You need more attention than that, and it's good for you to have company. Is cousin #3 totally out of the picture?? Did she forget you existed, or what? Surely she...

Marie Coyle @JudyEv It seems funny to talk of flowers in what is deep winter here, but that's how it is. I always enjoy flowers and plants. It will be nice to get outside and plant a few things in a few more months.
