Talk about the weather and your health...

[NoHall]

I'm sitting here on the 4th floor watching a storm scour through 30A, (yep--I have the window open!) and I'm thinking that in the dozen years I've been coming here I've never actually watched a storm in SoWal.

Lightning, wind, sheets of rain are things I see at home (rarely, it seems) but I really like the rolling waves in the background. Gawjus...

Makes me rully, rully happy...:clap:

I keep waiting for the funn to stop so I can take a shower.

[Miss Kitty]

weather...rainy and awesome

health...headache and sore feet (not real sure how that happened) :biggrin:

Honey, you was dancin' like a crazy Kitty! I hated to leave. (I also hated to fall asleep on a table.) :wave:

[Miss Kitty]

Honey, you was dancin' like a crazy Kitty! I hated to leave. (I also hated to fall asleep on a table.) :wave:

Oh...it gets better! So, Mr. K finally gets me home and guess who calls...KIMMIFUNN! Next thing I know, she is at my door and we end up at B & A's for a nightcap (Colorado Bulldog for me). Met her funny friends. Kept asking her how I was getting home...she kept saying Paradise Taxi. :roll: I started walking (using this term lightly) home (mind you it is like 1:30 am by this point) and started whining to myself and called Mr. K!!! Guess who was up working! He now has another story to hold over my head. :biggrin:

I wanna be just like you when I never grow up, Miss Kitty! :biggrin: :clap::cool::bow: :wub:

[sowalgayboi]

Just for those of you who might be concerned. I am sick, but no longer contagious (as of 2 days ago). :biggrin:

Here's to penicillin and decongestants.

[NoHall]

Sunday: Storms
Monday: Sunny, top-down weather
Tonight: Snow!? :blink:

:clap:

[Kimmifunn]

OMG. If you were there, you know what I'm saying.

Kitty and I were making it rain from atop the bar at the Red Bar. Phead had to confirm Kaiboo's age and I may have to re-visit my eye doctor after kitty lodged large hunks of confetti in my eyes. Shamoo and I were convinced I may go blind.

I have major rager voice and left my dignity with my empty handle of crown at the red bar

Stuck in Houston- More later...

We got snow flurries today too! It didn't accumulate though there were some icy roads. :shock:

[NoHall]

We just had some flurries, too, both in Hotlanta and when I got home. But it's colder than all get-out here. Thank goodness my dad thought to go turn on the heat in my house before I got here!

[NoHall]

My toes are froze...:shock:

[scooterbug44]

I'm refusing to go outside until the temps reach double digits! Ridonkulously cold here! ;-)

[Tootsie]

in sowal now: 40 / feels like 32.

hail, feels like 12... we are wimps, I know!

but its a beautiful day otherwise!

40 isn't exactly warm, Toots!

It's all the way up to 29 now. Obviously I did NOT go to work today--it has to be 33 before I will start working outside...I'm still in my fleece pajamas and wool socks!

:violin:The wind chill is 11 here right now!

That's what you get for living up there! :lol:

I shouldn't be whining--I would truly love nothing better than a nice, cold winter with a couple of good snows. (Even though my school doesn't have snow days.)

But I didn't realize that m bedroom had sprung a couple of drafts. I gotta fix those pronto...

You are right! It's no funn here in January. The only way I get through these next two cold months is thinking about being at the beach in April. Good luck fixing those drafts!

well you needed a little rest day after your whirlwind trip to sowal and getting all liquored up every dang day and night!!!:lol: you and suzy-q and other wenches. not me!

[NoHall]

Careful, there. I don't want my Southern Baptist family to see that! (And I was hardly "liquored up." I had one jell-o shooter on NYE...)

[Miss Kitty]

You talking about me??? :biggrin: I have not touched any alcohol this year. I might just feel human tomorrow. :wave:

[NoHall]

Kitty, I heard somewhere that you don't drink at all...

[Tootsie]

I know that nohall! I'm just pullin' your leg!

[sowalgayboi]

I remember the big issue of drinking on Sunday. :floor:

:funn::funn::funn::funn:

[NoHall]

The only reason I wasn't liquored up is because Hop wasn't mixing them...:shock: I think he nearly kilt me at the Ho-Down! (yum...)

[Miss Kitty]

:lolabove:...only in sowal...and when that girl whose name starts with k and ends with trouble is around.

People...it is freezing freaking cold outside!!!! I hope all pets are inside and plants are covered!

21 degrees, with a wind chill of 11. I finally got my bedroom all sealed up. The Jesus Cat is tucked in bed...heck with the plants!

[sowalgayboi]

Yeah, why preserve something you can't water? :idontno:

I never watered them to begin with. Survival of the fittest around here. (And I haven't lost a single plant to the drought at my house!)

I'm assuming that someone who use to work for a landscaping company would know the hearty waterless plants. :roll: Oh you did say the above. Is that kind of a Darwin Garden you have? :funn:

[NoHall]

It is now!

There are plants which are naturally drought-tolerant, and plants that prefer wet feet. The wet feet kind can be taught to survive in drier conditions, but they won't thrive. Generally, the others can be trained.

Most people overwater. You have to train a plant to be drought resistant. If you're watering every day, you're training it to need water every day. I tell my clients to water new plants once a week, but water deeply. After a few weeks, cut that to once every two weeks, then once a month. By the second year, they are doing fine with whatever rain they get.

Of course, that's in Georgia clay. Sand dries out quicker, so I'm not sure how much of my lake you need on your plants.

[sowalgayboi]

2 32oz. cups per week. We have two whole peace lillies that we haven't killed yet. The cactus garden didn't fair as well.

Are these inside or outside, 'cuz that's a whole other ballgame...

[sowalgayboi]

All inside, the association takes care of all the outside stuff. Well, they hire a cadre of Mexicans to care for it.

Don't ask me about indoor plants...I abuse them terribly!

Gotta go to bed...

[sowalgayboi]

Night, sleep tight! :wave:

It's raining. That still makes me happy up here...:clap:

[aggieb]

cats and dogs here.

and windy as hail too.

[Beachbummett]

I thought about you on my drive home this evening Nohitall! It was pouring here and I was hoping it would make it a little further east. We still really need it here in the 'Ham too....our water tables are way below normal levels.

[NoHall]

cats and dogs here.

We're still just ferrets and squirrels, but the radar shows cats and dogs coming this way.

:lolabove: I bet you loved it...I know how you love the wind. I don't like wind either! Well....maybe when I'm sailing....but that is it. It blows my hair around too much.

[NoHall]

I don't mean to be contrary, but I have always loved wind...!

I had to dodge trash cans blowing down the street. And, sadly, there were lots of fires. I'm tellin' ya, BB, it was bad!

Fires are bad...

But the wind woke me up tonight, and I thought of you!

[NoHall]

Frost advisory tonight.

Must be global warming again.

[Miss Kitty]
