USMB Coffee Shop IV

[gallantwarrior]

Well, it's official...current temps are in the "witch's tit in a brass bra cup" cold. Nothing all day and last night that didn't feature a minus sign in front of the number. Expected to go down to as low as -20 here tonight. I wish I didn't have to go to work and I hope no airplanes require oil service or maintenance. It's so cold, the tears freeze before they roll down your cheeks, and your eyes will tear because the cold just rips them from you. Your nose hairs freeze when you inhale and if you try to breath through you mouth, your teeth hurt! At least it won't snow, and with some luck, airborne moisture will remain low and we won't get ice fog.

I like the propane one. Electric heaters wouldn't suit us if we are back in our cars. No electric.

have to be careful with propane

of carbon monoxide poisoning

Just have to look for the ones labeled outside use only, they don't have the safety features.

I use a stylus. Not as fast as typing but more accurate than fat, old fingers on those tiny screens.

I use a thumnail

Hubbie is home and he is very happy.
They have him on a life vest which is a wearable difibutalor.
He has been fed and is resting comfortably and enjoying his computer.
Now that he is home I'm going to be pretty busy for a little while.
I won't have as much time as I would like to post much, but ,I will let you know his progress.
Please keep us in your prayers. He is going to have a long big battle ahead.
He looks good considering only 1/5 of his heart is working.

Talk to you all later.
Thank You Everone, I love you all you have really helped me with your support.
Tomorrow I have to get groceries and pick up a long new list of prescription drugs.

I am beat what a long day whew!

You can be assured those prayers will keep coming Peach and Mr. P should know that too.

Sherry and me have both taken the day off on Friday to watch the inaugural. Whatever your political affiliation, watching the peaceful transfer of power in our democracy is an amazing thing.

I wished Obama well in 2008 and I wish Trump well now. I hope everyone realizes how fortunate we all are to be American citizens.

Just checking in. Went to costco today and bought a pressure cooker than also works as a slow cooker, a rice cooker, etc. I'm looking forward to trying it.

In your new kitchen?

Yep.

Hi Sheila. We were gifted with an ENORMOUS pressure cooker for Christmas and I still haven't figured out how to use it efficiently for two people. Plus I haven't pressure cooked anything in decades and don't remember how.

I'm looking forward to canning my left over chili. I like to have chili once in awhile without cooking all day, but I can't stand the stuff you buy in the stores anymore.

I agree it is pretty grim. Wolf brand used to make a fairly good canned chili but even theirs is all fat and yuck any more.

Hey...Does anyone use their cell phone while it is charging? I get mixed responses when I ask folks here.

Plenty of times.

How the heck do you use a thumbnail???

It's like using thumbs to text except my thumbs have pretty sturdy nails on them with a slight point so I can zero in on the tiny qwerty letters. I don't use my phone for anything other than making and receiving calls and an occasional text so it isn't a big deal. On my Kindle Fire, I just poke the bigger letters with my forefinger.

If it rings while charging I answer it and if I need to make a call while its charging I do. That's not all that often though. But I constantly use my Kindle or laptop while they are charging and I can't imagine a phone battery would respond any differently.

Just put Mr.P to bed.
He is so happy to be home and so am I.
It's going to be an interesting first night with this new mobil defibrillator vest.

Like always when he has been sick in the past and came home from the hospital, he tries to cheat and see what he can get away with on the can't do this list.

I always turn my phone off when charging it. Am I doing this all wrong? Never had a cell phone before this except an emergency one. This one I have now is pretty gadgety, lol.
