Potatoes will arrive today. I have to dig my book on preserving veggies without using modern methods out and see what I have to do so they last til planting time in mid March. I already have a cooler to put them in.

Keep them cool and dry.
I always crack up at those videos that are like “my husband takes hideous photos of me” (with examples), and meanwhile mine takes ones like this... and then makes them the wallpaper on his phone

Sounds like a compliment to me. Well done, Pekka. :cool:

From what it sounds like Mr Pekka is a real find. Good job Lou!

The picture of you with the fries is such a good photo of you! I wanted to do a heart react, but for some reason the forum is having trouble bringing up the emoticons panel and I can only click 'like' at times like this.

I just wish certain people here, you know who the hell you are, wouldn't keep posting happy crap over and over again. Even with goddamn photos of themselves, it's really pissing me off
I wish the weather would make up its mind.

It made up its mind here, for like 4 months now it's cold, mostly rainy and very dark.

The state I live in is home to rollercoaster weather. It's been jumping between 40°F nights and nearly 70°F days, then there is 10°F nights with 20-30°F days. I mean. I know it's still winter. But common already. Is going to be cold or mild?
A question we get asked often about our house/where we live: "Do you get scared at night?"
...Yes 😅

Wolves, coyotes and foxes. I love hearing them late at night. "Children of the night". ;)

We saw a coywolf the other day (coyote/wolf hybrid) that looked like this. 100 feet away from us sitting on our pond. Gorgeous animal but we were cautious and didn't interact. Thought it was a gray wolf!

^This photo is from Google, if we weren't so worried about a potential interaction with our very frightened dog, I would've taken a photo.
Over 30 inches of snow here, 3 feet in some places. 400+ cars stranded on highways. I hope everyone gets home safe :(
This weather is unbelievable. The last time it was this bad here, I was 21 years old, in college, stranded in my dorm room for a week surviving on instant coffee and microwave mac & cheese.
New England weather is no joke.

I can't wait for spring either. This is the winter from hell. Now I'm regretting complaining about the 90 degree summers...

Pretty scary weather from seeing New England on the news...stay warm! And don't let the geese bite! ;)

We thought we were out of the woods until we just saw in the weather report tonight- 85% chance of snow tomorrow.
The geese are happy, at least!
Yikes.
Shoveled out our entire driveway, front walk, and most of the yard, though. At least now the dog can get out.
Rest of the property will have to be done with the snow blower.

Yeah. Shoveling snow is a rough one when you got alot. Glad that has come and gone for me.

Hopefully you live somewhere with less snow now. This winter has been such a nightmare. Getting a snow blower has helped us a little bit, though.
Insane snowstorm here… again. Opened the front door to let the dog out and a 4 foot snow drift almost fell in. Looks like we’re stuck here until the roads get plowed, which could be days from now.
I am now unemployed effective immediately. Time for me to learn how to live off SSDI alone.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully leaving that behind will be better for you than staying in it.

With your skillset and huge heart you won't be unemployed for long hopefully.

Sorry to hear that. Should I ask what happened, or do we leave it like that? We are here to listen if you want to rant. Just remember that it is not the end of the world, even if it may feel like that for a moment <3
Happy birthday!

Depends on the day in question. Particularly if it isn't actually my birthday, despite invasive bots trying to determine it while I keep them guessing . A practice that I suspect most persons don't attempt.

Happy Birthday! :) Since you aren’t a fan of anyone making a big deal out of your birthday, I hope you have a great time doing something else! ;)
I dont know how anyone tolerates wearing glasses all the time. I only use mine when absolutely necessary, and every now and then I get so irritated at them that I just launch them at the floor. They smear up if you exist in the same room as them too hard and nothing ACTUALLY cleans them properly. Must... resist... urge to stomp...

If you're using toilet paper or facial tissues then yes, that would make the problem much worse - the perfumes they spray on the paper are oils.

The toilet paper i use has no perfume. Same you first world people live on another level :D

Scented toilet paper would give me an allergic reaction in a place where I really don't think anyone wants one, lol
I saw a squirrel take a whole pack of cookies from the trash. It was cute.

I feed them peanuts. First, the blue jays come. If the squirrels don't get there quickly, the jays get them all.
Guess who is extremely happy with his fancy new Keurig, which I insisted was a frivolous purchase lol

My daughter gave me one for Christmas. Now, I drink fresh coffee all day long.

To an Aussie there's nothing "frivolous" about coffee. :)

I'll not deny K-Cups are pretty convenient and easy. But I still enjoy brewing traditional coffee grounds. Straight black coffee is the way to go IMO.

The buck snorts here.

Ask not for whom the buck snorts, it snorts for thee.

My mom (accidentally) hit one years ago and it nearly destroyed her car. She's been terrified of driving on country roads at night ever since.
Definitely not as bad as hitting a moose, though... the moose would probably be unscathed, but you'd be dead...
