Body's thermostat is inner wrists, ankles, and back of neck. In winter, add a hat for the heat escaping through your head. Get those covered and you have a better chance of warming up and staying warm.
The dangles (fingers, toes, nose, etc.) may need their own coverage, too.

I have to echo covering your head! Up to 45% of body warmth can escape via an uncovered head and neck.

What a photo…amazing Lili

Thanks, G! I love it also. Unfortunately, it's not mine! I'd love to try to get one like this!

I'm a friend to my spiders. Maybe they will leave me a web that frosts over like this one! 🕷 🕸

 

[Lilianna23]

Surprised you didn’t ask what the hell he was doing in the woods in the first place @Lilianna

Maybe hunting geese?

 

[Lilianna23]

Thanks peeps. Already feel better. If I keep moving it losens up. If I sit for a minute, I have to start all over.

Yep. The lubrication only flows if you're moving!

 

[Lilianna23]

Oh my, oh my, oh the snow!

Anyone else in the North East got some love from the sky today?

We did in the PNW! Just a dusting.

 

[Lilianna23]

Thanks Woderer. She’s still coughing but two full days of two drip antibiotics has her feeling a little better. She can’t shake the cough though, and so they’re going to keep her another night. Been out sitting with her to keep her company. She rested most of yesterday but was sitting up and did a little PT with the nurse today. She’s not out of the woods but showing improvement.

Afternoon Z…as I couldn’t get logged on this a.m. Too many cute nurses around!

She may well have the cough for a few more weeks. They won't keep her that long. When she has a clear chest X-ray, they will start talking about discharge.

 

[Lilianna23]

Flooded in again
This is getting old quick

Oh, no! Please stay safe, hon!

@likes2watchU Your "mouse" decided to pose for a photograph all on it's own.

I was taking a break. This thing was still raring to go. It spent the afternoon kicking my ass!

This is some miserable white shit this year. There is normally a layer of "sugar snow" at the bottom by now, which makes breaking chunks loose easy. Not this year, and early thaw after a bit of snow and then some rain has an 8" layer at the bottom that is like concrete. Cannot pop it loose without cutting all around it, then hitting underneath a half dozen times before it breaks loose. Two days, and I'm not quite half way. This used to take a single afternoon.

Be careful, DKA! I can't tell you the number of old guys we got in our ICU with head injuries from falling off the roof! Let your wife or someone know when you're going to be up there. And use a roof retention system!

 

[Lilianna23]

Cat, yes. Poodles like apples and carrots. Goats will eat your vegetable leavings like a compost pile and love it.

So, there isn't a "goat treat" section at the farm store?

 

[Lilianna23]

That's what we've had in NC all week. The sun did peek out a bit this afternoon.


Making a bit of headway on the job. Met the head guy for the customer. We seemed to hit it off all right, which is God. It was warmer today. Got some stuff marked off for deliveries tomorrow. And of course, there's the meeting with los jefes at the office tomorrow.


And then heading home for a couple of days. I so hope that Ethyl isn't angry.

She told K and me she's been prowling the house wondering where you are! Just be prepared! She may be sharpening her claws!

 

[Lilianna23]

I haveta go to bed early tonite cuz I have a 4am meeting with London (hey, it’s 9am there….). I woulda been in London this week except I’d already committed to the Hartford meetings.

So off to bed around 9pm tonite.

Aren't they 8 hours ahead?

 

[Lilianna23]

Been gone for a week +
I’m not even going to try and catch up. I probably won’t be in as much as before, but I hope y’all are well.

I'm glad to see you back in here, BSK! Don't even try to catch up after a week. Just jump in! ️

 

[Lilianna23]

Just so long as I don't

You'll have LOTS of recapping to do when you get back!

It's not mine. I'd love to have the opportunity to photograph something like this. I like to take moon shots. This is one I got through a spider web on my front porch.

Your own or other people?

 

[Wonderer67]

Aren't they 8 hours ahead?

Five hours ahead.

First time in a long time I’ve joined the 330am club voluntarily!

 

[nipplecaresser]

Aren't they 8 hours ahead?

Five hours ahead of New York, six ahead of Chicago and eight ahead of Los Angeles

 

[Lilianna23]

It's a little after midnight-thirty here on a chilly Valentine's Day morning! I hope everyone gets some love from a special someone (or someones!). You are my people! ️

 

[Lilianna23]

Your own or other people?

Nobody wants to see MY moon!

 

[Lilianna23]

Five hours ahead.

First time in a long time I’ve joined the 330am club voluntarily!

Of course! I doh'ed there! London is 8 hrs ahead of ME!

 

[Wonderer67]

Of course! I doh'ed there! London is 8 hrs ahead of ME!

I did the same! As soon as I wrote that, I was like… “ and she’s three hours behind me.”

Time zzzzzomes!

All right . Up and at em! Let’s get this Friday going!!!!

(Yeah…. I’m a Morning person!)

I have to echo covering your head! Up to 45% of body warmth can escape via an uncovered head and neck.

I concur!

I wear beanies all the time right now. Don't think I'd ever wear something like that.

I peeled apples today and threw them to the chickens....they seemed happy

Chickens are easily amused by such things, too.


Critters like when they get stuff above and beyond the usual diet.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Me too...there may be blood

I still remember the stare-down that she and I had when she was first an indoor Kitteh. Her teeth were sunk into the top of my right hand.


She finally let go


It took months for the mark to go away.
