Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

Tonight is expected to be the coldest yet so I am doing a very slow-cook oven turkey using this recipe:

The house may be cold but I can at least make it smell good.

So do I have to print out this invite and show it at the door or am I just good to come over and graze?

Yeah, Connie made a real nice shrimp and crab meat (REAL shrimp and crab meat, not that crappy imported stuff) chowder that lasted several days and really hit the spot. Got us warmed up and ready to go out to cover the citrus each evening.
Supposed to just barely get to below the freezing point tonight, and then this upcoming week will be getting highs in the 70s. Now that is more like it!
So tomorrow we will be taking down the tarps, folding them up, and putting them into the shed till the next cold spell comes along. With any luck, that won't be till next Winter.

Come on over! We're supposed to warm up just to the point where we'll get a lovely ice storm on Monday though. I'd rather have bitterly cold but dry weather than wintry mix/freezing rain any day.

It's been a couple years since I've been over in your neck of the woods. Might be worth the drive.

Started out 48F today. By 1pm it was 24F with -2 windchill. Ice rain on the way home from work. Snowing heavy now and swirling with 30 plus mph winds. 6 to 8 inches tonight. Ugh!

Yeah, got some chilly weather coming in down here too. They modified it a bit today so the forecast doesn't look as bad as they were showing just yesterday, but we'll be covering the younger citrus trees, all the same. Ask me if I would be surprised that the national weather service's forecast would be dramatically wrong 12 hours in advance.....

I think a Tarot deck would probably work much better with those people.
Honestly, they must work in buildings without windows, because they can't even get the current observed weather correct, when all it would take is to look out a window to see what was going on.
Honestly, I love hearing people say with a straight face that they believe these people can accurately predict what "global warming" is going to do to the entire earth 100 years from now.

I finally got our chimney work finished this past September (after 2 and a half years...) and spent the last couple hundred dollars on materials to get the wood stove hooked up at the tail end of the last cold snap. Didn't have to use it last week with the 50-60 degree temps this week, but it was back in the teens all day and getting into the single digits again tonight. Sure is nice not having the furnace run all the time to keep the house warm! Honestly, I'm happier with the cold than the damned mud we had this week with those warm temps. 4 dogs + mud + carpet = annoying enough to not care if I have to warm up the car or wear a heavier jacket!
