Well, it is SNOWING over here :eek:
I immediately turned on my little radio on my desk and it is suppose to stop by 2:00. I am sure it won't amount to anything, but please, it is SPRING!

blue??? I have no clue what that could be... there is no blue here in SD!
The same thing happened here in Portland yesterday! :eek:
I see it I see it! Little patches of blue! I am scared too! Who will save us?
Nothin' blue out my window either :(.
25+ days of rain in March, and now rain every day so far in April, with rain predicted next week too. Where do I file a complaint?
kim... complaint box is in AZ... with all our sun! :mad: :D
Ok I have just the opposite problem here is GA with beautiful blue skys for the past few days. My problem is my roomate and ride partner hurt his knee and can't ride for awhile and I feel bad ditching him and riding by myself! :confused:
Jessica
Is he gonna recover? If so, give him a beer and go ride! :D
LOL Yes he will recover. It wil just be a few weeks. I may try that this evening :p
Jessica
Wahhaahhhahhhhaaaa. Its snowing here! :mad: There are 2 inches on the ground already. The stupid sanding trucks are out resanding the newly cleaned roads and my daffodils are sadly looking at the ground covered in snow.
Cyber raspberry to you SadieKate. :p
Awww that is sad. Poor flowers!
You facing a camping trip with a forecast of rain for all but about a day? It's supposed to be warm and sunny there! That's why we picked the location and time! Arrgggg.Quote:

Yee Gads - we have blue here! I went and walked up the ski hill for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed myself. In retaliation, it's supposed to rain tomorrow but my new Terry bike is being delivered - yipee!
No blue here...been raining cranks and derailers all day! :p
Yup, we're supposed to get 2-5 inches. And it's not even April Fools Day. Speaking of clean roads, I almost got run over by one of those street sweeping trucks on Monday. Guess the bike and I would have been well brushed. Actually, the brush wasn't turning, so maybe we would have just bounced off.Quote:

Don't tell anyone but I hope the weather improves for your ride coming up. My brother lives in California so I kind of have to be nice to you girls out there. :D
Well, in Salt Lake City, Utah, yesterday and today started out with some sun, partly cloudy, ....then all heck and halloween fell out of the sky --- hideous wind gusts, rocking our little tiny RV, and blowing the birds outta the trees, pelting silvermetal rain, and frowning black skies!:mad: :eek:
Then......the SUN came out!!! :D Now it's partly cloudy again.....this is the wildest wierdest place I've ever seen (besides Wisconsin where the weather could change from sun to tornado in a flat beer minute!):mad:
My only excuse not to ride is I hurt my right knee (the only good one left) and my son just came home from a two year church mission in Brazil, trailing yellowed-white shirts and only three pair of raggedy socks....so we've been shopping and running like mad!)
But!!! MY SNOW PEAS ARE UP out of the ground!!:D The tree in our yard is flowering, and it MUST be SPRING!!!!:D
I just went outside to get lunch and I felt something warm on my cheekbones. It felt odd. It was disconcerting. I even took off my hooded jacket!
Hey--there's some of that blue stuff in Dianyla's avatar. Let's ask her what it could be!
Chicago: Not sunny. Not snowing. Not raining. Just...the usual...grey, chilly, a bit windy when you least expect it. It could be all of the above at the same time, so I'm not griping (today) :rolleyes: .
L.
I got in a bike ride today but there was a nasty headwind coming back. Not what I wanted to deal with after not riding for 5 days.
Was there a strange yellow glowing orb also?
Just curious . . . is Seasonal Affective Disorder an admissible defense?
Beats me... I'm actually standing in front of a gigantic photograph. :pQuote:

Had brief bout of blue so opened HUGE Subaru sunroof while running errands. Came out of Jamba just in time to close the sucker up before it started sprinkling again.
I'm going to need it.
Just got a call from Bill. His older sister had an emergency appendectomy this morning. Doing fine. Expected to come home Saturday. It hadn't erupted but was close.
Mom just called to tell me my father is going through a phalanx of med tests starting today because I got pissy with him last night when on the phone he said his ankles had been swollen for a few days and it hurt to walk. Mom looked at them last night and said they were tender to the touch so she called and got him a doc's appt this morning. Full neurological test today. Cardio, MRI or CAT-scan, and god knows what else over next couple of days. Last night's phone call was the first time I've ever heard him truly confused, even when my mother wasn't interrupting him (as is her way). 78 yrs old, sedentary in the extreme, obese, Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma survivor, bi-polar or depressed or god knows what (always been somewhat in his own world). Parkinson's, stroke, circulatory, who knows.
Raining out the near living room window but I can see blue sky to the north out the other window. I'm going over the edge. I thought it was going to stay dry enough I could ride tonight, even a few miles
Bill's out of town until Friday. I bought healthy stuff for dinner. Maybe ice cream would be better.
OMG!! That's terrible! At least your SIL sounds okay - but I am sorry about your dad. That's so rough, and it sounds like it has been an ongoing degenrative thing. I'm so sorry.Quote:

Hang in there SK! I hope your dad's Ok and that you don't have to wait too long for the results.
At least today we all got a brief reminder that there ARE blue skies under all those clouds...
I see some blue stuff right now! It's amazing, I actually had to put on sunglasses for my drive home.
sk - hope all goes well with your dad. Why is it they wait until we get pissy to do something? My folks are the same way.
It's always hard when parents start to have health problems, so I really sympathize with you kiddo. :( Prayers for your folks from my end of the world.
I second the ice cream. It always made me feel better demolishing a half gallon of extremely chocolately fudge supreme something or other... haven't had any in a monkey's age...or was that a coon's age? Wonder what a chocolate coon tastes like? :eek: The only thing blue here is my new bike!:D
Thanks, everyone. My mother is somewhat of a hypochondriac and Dad is the opposite. Since he's the one that's off in his own little world (Earth to Dad was frequently heard in our house) and was taught not to "rock the boat" he frequently waits to say anything or pooh-poohs symptoms.
As of Tuesday morning we won't be near a phone for 5 days. The real boondocks. Back of beyond. Not that I can do anything useful but fret.
V, I bought your favorite quiche for dinner and some sugar snap peas to go with it. Normally when Bill's out of town my diet goes to heck in a handbasket. I was trying so hard to be good. Nutty-Buddies with a caramel center. Maybe the puppy and I need an outing.
What kind of fruit in Chunky Monkey?
It must be contagious for it was very blue here today as well - gotta love those high pressure systems. It was a bit chilly at the start of the 50 mile club ride this morning but warmed up nicely after the lunch stop. It was a beautiful day, a great day to be on vacation and on my bike.

Yeah, chunks of chocolate and, I think walnuts. With banana ice cream. Stop me before I do damage. I should just have a glass of wine now so I am not tempted to get in the car and get some..... The broccoli is in the steamer. Whole Foods turkey meatloaf in the over with red sauce all over it.... I really don't need chunky monkey.
Wow - V was right, these threads all do degenerate into food, don't they?
What did this start out as? Oh, yeah. Strange blue stuff up above.
SK-- sorry to hear about your dad. I sympathize. My Mom gets embarrassed about symptoms, so she omits information, makes up other information, etc. Hard to know when to get pissy and insistant, and when to "leave her be". Glad to hear your dad's docs are taking him seriously. Best wishes.
Dianyla-- you cracked me up about "the precioussssss". There's a nurse at work who calls everyone "precious". I can't help but see Gollum in his cave every time she says it. I don't think that's quite what she intends! :p
And, finally, since everything comes back to food, allow me to comment on how extraordinarily unsatisfying fat-free frozen yogurt is, even if it is chocolate. Blech. I need me some real ice cream! Ever tried Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby? Chocolate with pretzels and caramel and I don't even remember what else since it's been that long since I've let myself eat any. L.
What's wrong with you people?! :D Don't you know ice cream is good for you. It has calcium. I've lost 5 pounds on the Klondike for dessert diet I've been on since December.

To what? Eating an entire carton of ice cream, killing your boss ... ?Quote:
