    - Ate too many hot wings and my guts are hating on me like no tomorrow
    - Feel to iffy to go outside :down:

    Non-complaints:

    We have daffodils in our garden. But they'd have to contend with 2.5 to 3 feet of snow. :down: They don't grow that tall! They never come up this early, either.

    Two years ago we had a warmer winter than usual here (Southeast Tennessee) and the daffodils started blooming the first week of January.
    Most years it's late February. :)

    ...my next build (when I can secure the funding) will be a dual Octacore system. 32 CPU threads. That might even be enough to make even Reality/Lux render a scene in less than a day.

    ...I place a large wooden spoon across the top of the pot, and it works. Trick I learned from "Life hacks".

    ...we had them blooming in the first week of February. Saw the first tulips as well as the first flutterby of the season yesterday.

    Trees are beginning to look "fuzzy green" as leaf buds are ready to pop. A few trees already going into leaf in the neighbourhood.

    Ours come up in mid April usually. They don't last long, either, maybe a month. This is from April 2013. I thought I took some last year, but they're not on my computer.

    Oh, my. The power just went out. The UPS beeped. But it only lasted a minute. It's back now. I have to reset things that don't reset themselves now. :shut:

    Oooo...two-toned! Mine are just yellow. :)
    The good news is the power is ON. With 2-3 feet of snow that is not always the case. Glad for you.

    Hmmm... I wonder if Skiriki got enough snow to make her happy? :lol:

    I put a cookie that I just got today on my desk to have later. Now it is just an empty cookie container. My cookie disappeared. I blame Kurt the Betta even though there is no evidence that he got out of his tank and ate a cookie that is at least four times his size.

    Thanks! I'm glad, too. We've had a couple of pretty nice days. And it's supposed to continue like this for at least another two or three days. Nights are different. It's still getting cold at night. In fact, I just went to get the mail and found a little black ice on the driveway from the snow melt. But at least it is beginning to melt. I hope we don't get another April Fool snowstorm like we did in the late 90s.

    Dang-nabbit!

    Somebody put a $4200 charge on my credit card.

    My only credit card.

    The good news is the bank cancelled the $4200 charge.

    The bad news is the card is now cancelled, so I can't buy anything in March Madness until I get the new card... and I was going to pick up Blooming Alley and Honey Bolt, and get the Holo Map Console for free. >:-(

    (I've deleted the card from my account here, and I'll add the new card once I know the number.)

    SnowSultan once made a Smacky render of her looking somewhat exhausted after killing a giant spider. I said the caption should be, "Oh, was this your pet? My bad!" :lol:

    Oddly enough, one of the best exercises you can do to prevent lower back pain is called the Dead Bug. You lie on your back on the floor, or on an exercise mat, then make crawling motions with your arms and legs, like a bug that whiffed too much Raid...
