Howdy Karla & company no snow delay today but they canceled school because of a heavy dense fog! This is the 4th day they will have to make up now.
When was the last time you "Rattled someones cage " or at least wanted to ?
Right now I would like to go to Yahoo and do that then take names! I can't sign in on my Yahoo account says my ID is not registered. Try to create a new account says my ID is taken. Contact Yahoo many, many times they say I must go to the page I can't access and contact that page's owner! Even copying & pasting their page hasn't cleared this up now over 3 weeks. Been a member & mod of a couple of groups for over 10 years.
What is your "Snow removal method of choice
You kids ?
Child labor for porch & steps with a shovel
Other _____ ?
Farmer up the road brings his big tractor and scoop to keep me cleared usually in the winters. His pay is baked goods or I take meals down to them at times. If he didn't do that we have a big John Deere garden tractor I have a snow blade I can have attached to it.
Have you ever made Snow Ice cream ?
Yes but tend to stay away from yellow flavors like lemon.
When was the last time you "Rattled someones cage " or at least wanted to ?
This morning in the Computer Forum. And yes, I did.

Babble
Worked two installs yesterday. Didn't get them finished because both are either waiting for more software or hardware, and one is also waiting for the client to return from Washington DC. She gave up this week. Planes are not flying out. Luckily she owns a condo there.
Worked on the server some. Started copying files to it and got the KVM switch working so I only need one keyboard, mouse and monitor for both my desktop and the server. Pretty neat set up. You tap the scroll lock twice and it switches between computers.
More snow coming. We are getting conflicting reports on how much. So I guess I'll go with the lower estimate.
Mrs. Tek had a root canal this morning. She's not a happy camper today.
Good afternoon everyone from the northern Atlanta suburbs. We are waiting on the snow. From what I see on the news it is around middle Georgia, which is funny! Some of these places rarely even see flakes.
I am trying to end the week on a calm, positive note so I will be like the famous fictional character from my state, Scarlett O'Hara, and think about the cage rattling on another day.
Snow removal method of choice: whoo hoo! This is one thing that I have never had to worry about. Honest! I have always lived in the southeast and have never, ever shoveled or had to make arrangements for shoveling a driveway. We would always be out of work and the sun, etc would melt the snow by the time we went back to work. I have parked on the street if I had a steep driveway. In one neighborhood that was very hilly some people used to park at the top of a hill and walk up. My boss told me just to wait until I felt it was safe to come back to work. Good boss!
Snow cream -- yummy! The last time I made this was in Chattanooga. My neighbors loved it. Just the snow, evaporated milk (Carnation or Pet), vanilla and sugar.
The ticklish question is a deep, dark secret.
I used to play croquet a lot when I was a kid and I think the wood set is in the basement. I know that I have decorated with the set at some point!
Quietus was one of my father's favorite words. He owned a dime store and was very colorful. I am going to rack my poor little stressed brain and try to think of some examples for later.
Update: we are seeing some fine flakes in Atlanta. It's starting to snow pretty hard now but it's too warm to stick -- 38 degrees.
