Good Morning All !
Happy Groundhog’s Day to all !
All news continues to be focused on upcoming storm ! I realize it is all good to be prepared but enough is enough… making people crazed and more nervous than needed…..With that said I will be heading to grocery store to get some food ! I just hope they don’t decide to transfer my mom in the height of the storm… Hate to say it but hospitals so quick to throw you out…. ready or not.
dee… your contest sounds intriguing ! will give it some thought and try and make you laugh ! I was surprised that you saw a buffalo ! and a pelican.. Seems pretty far north for the pelican… and pretty far east for the buffalo..
I guess I need to brush up on my geography !
moms.. I hope your ds does not need to drive anywhere .. I am sure he would not be used to driving in the snow much less in a storm with significant accumulation !
Sheba.. Congrats on your trophy ! You must have been able to complete that portion of the challenge in one game ! It is one game that I don’t mind playing.
Boper. So nice to see you… I love visiting the Picture Guide.. Thanks to you and ll for keeping it updated ! Hope all is well with you !
gramma… nice to see you too.. thanks for the well wishes for my mom !
I am taking today off as my brother is covering… Visitation is very restricted in the hospitals due to Covid. I get it but so hard for the patients and their families .
Hope all who need to travel… stay safe. Have a good day !

Dee- I didn’t realize it was 2/2/22. I am afraid for the calendar… its days are numbered.
Predictions: My layup prediction is that the Rams will win the SB. My hopeful prediction is that Purdue pharma will go bankrupt.

February 2, 2022 @ 4:26 pm
thank goodness
i was so worried about not having a gaga morning greeting!
never thought to check the trash bin
and i was freaking on the pelican too!
dh kept saying it was a swan………….and barely stopped the car for me to take a pic……….sure enough googled when i got home and it is an american pelican that winters in that area………….
and the buffalo were a drive thru habitat type thing, not wild on the prairie
but man oh man………….whenever we go there and they open them big electronic gates with the giant road cowbar things………….all i can think of is jurassic park

Thanks Boper !
dee..
Pelicans are really odd looking birds.. Used to see them in Florida and it was really interesting to see them dive bombing into the ocean to pick fish out of the water… Have never seen a buffalo. Sounds like you had a fun road trip !

i’ve only seen pelicans at the beach, except one time i thought i saw one in north georgia – is that even possible????
i love that you saw a pelican dee – that’s so fun
the jurassic park entry to the buffalo is funny & reminded me of another funny –
my friend has a shirt that says “don’t mess with mamasaurus, you’ll get jurasskicked” 😳 ‘scuse the pottymouth reference

gaga – he is forecast for some ice too, so he definitely knows better than to drive on that – he knows to wait for plowing but i think he’s hoping to stay home, play monopoly, have some down time, enjoy his friends
his roommates are 2 of his very close friends, & they have another friend that is pretty much the 4th roommate, so i think they will have fun

honestly, i’m like these are when you have fond college memories – these are the special times with friends/roommates – as long as they are safe, this could be a really fun weekend for the college kids, ya know???

Hello all!
Realized it was 2/2/22 today and had to come by and say hi to dee!
Hope everyone stays safe with the storm, it’s just missing us this time.
gaga—Hope you mom is okay.
moms—Hope your ds and his roommates will be okay and make some great memories.
Will be back to give predictions. 🙂 Long day and off to figure out something for dinner.

Hi!
Cool contest, Dee! I’ll have to think up some predictions for 2nd part! Not sure how to make you laugh….but here is a couple of riddles (for kids).
You bought me for dinner, but you never eat me. What am I?
Or
What becomes wetter the more it dries?
(I’ll leave you hanging on the answers….for a bit. We did these in my classes on Monday for one of the skits).
Btw, it seems that many of us cannot get into Webkinz Classic.
There is a pop-up that says:
“An unauthorized attempt to intercept Webkinz communication was detected. To protect your account your session was terminated. Please try again later.
Meanwhile, I rebooted, tried again. No success. Sorry I can’t respond to collection requests. I’ve had a busy day and now have time, but I can’t get into Webkinz. Someone on FB said they can get into mobile Webkinz only. The message is popping up with Webkinz Next, too.
17 Queen of Sheba (WWID: Royalmajesty) said,
February 2, 2022 @ 10:34 pm
Got you explanation about CO, moms! I was confused! LOL!
18 Queen of Sheba (WWID: Royalmajesty) said,
February 2, 2022 @ 10:41 pm
Maybe I won’t leave you hanging on the answers, Dee!
My days have been so crazy, I’m afraid I won’t remember to tell you.
1) Cutlery – (but there could possible be other answers. One of my students said “leftovers”, which I thought was cute!)
2) A towel. Maybe not a cute, but I can remember it! LOL!
19 Queen of Sheba (WWID: Royalmajesty) said,
February 2, 2022 @ 10:50 pm
Well, I just tried Webkinz Next and I was able to get in. Someone on FB said they were getting the same message as Classic on Next. But I’m able to play on Next. Sigh!
I really wanted to make my collection rounds.
20 momskinz (WWID: momsownkinz) said,
February 2, 2022 @ 10:53 pm
i can’t get on classic either but next is fine
too bad i don’t want next . . . 🙁
21 momskinz (WWID: momsownkinz) said,
February 2, 2022 @ 10:56 pm
i was actually in classic finishing up a deluxe challenge when i got the boot & the error message
🙁
22 Queen of Sheba (WWID: Royalmajesty) said,
February 2, 2022 @ 11:13 pm
That is so maddening! I wonder what is going on?
23 Queen of Sheba (WWID: Royalmajesty) said,
February 2, 2022 @ 11:34 pm
Okay…I just saw a message from Betty Butter Ganz on FB:
“We’re aware of login issues on Webkinz. It is due to an issue with our security certificate. Our team is working on it! ”
Meanwhile….going to bed! ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Good Morning All !
dee… I couldn’t come with anything to make you laugh ! I will try and come up with some things for the time capsule. I hope to learn how to put things from you tube on here… I have seen some hilarious videos…
I too am an amateur bird watcher… and was able to get really nice binoculars as a gift when I became unemployed ! I hope in the spring I can hook up with some seasoned birders and learn something. There has been reports of a random snowy owl downtown but rarely go downtown so have just seen news clips. Our bald eagle pair should be preparing their nest for a new family soon.
moms… I hope your ds enjoys being in and looking out at the winter wonderland…. Poured rain all day yesterday and into the evening… My mom was to be transferred at 4 o clock… which then became 630 .. which then became 830… Attempted to speak to nursing supervisor… unsuccessful.. She was too busy to come to the phone.. I did speak to the supervisor at the ambulance company which is where the delay was… not at all sympathetic… all the hospital were transferable their patients ahead of the impending storm .The hospital would not allow me to come in and sit with my poor brother who had been there since 9am….restrictions… no budging !! I ended up going to the facility with all of my mom’s “stuff” clothes and such and got her room set up…They seem very nice and the room was clean and neat..
Staff seemed accommodating… She was finally settled at 940 pm !!
Today is a new day !
Sheba .. Sorry there were WW issues… I didn’t have a chance to log in but no problems this morning getting in… I hope you were able to get a good nights rest !
April.. Good morning ! Nice to see you ! How is Stella? Hopefully you can send us a Valentine Photo ! Looking forward to the Super Bowl.. Will be pulling for the Bengals ! Not really planning on watching half time.. Looking forward to seeing the commercials and hoping that Budweiser has come up with some cute dog/horse clips !
Boper… thanks for fixing my glitch… I have no idea your reference to Purdue
pharm… sounds Greek to me ! I have been checking your wish list at intervals but sorry to say… I have none of what you are looking for.
Forcasting 8-12 inches today… We’ll see how the day goes but as of now I am not planning on going out !

Shoe Store clerk is also available at 1 p.m.

Network shows preempted to give all weather news for the storm. Feel badly for all those who are out in it ! So happy to be home and warm !
Made pot of chicken noodle soup for dinner… Just tried checking in with you know who………..she hung up on me ! I guess she is settling in just great !
dee… that’s my make you laugh comment. Too bad I’m a day late.

Good Morning !
Finally stopped snowing… reports are that roads are still treacherous for travel but really hope to get out some time later this morning. Have not ventured outside but looks like about 8-12 inches of snow on the railing.
Thanks to all for posting the Shoe Clerk job times… It has helped.
dee.. what’s cooking this weekend… looking for another good recipe ! Bought fixings for beef stew and plan to make that either today or tomorrow.
Sheba… hope you were able to get a good night’s sleep.. was wondering how you get Betty Butter Ganz… I guess I would first need to get facebook which I don’t have… then do you invite them to be your friend ?.. Haven’t decided if it is worth getting facebook.
moms… heard from himself last night.. OSU was closed yesterday but will open for todays classes… he mentioned that their precipitation was mostly ice but was turning to snow.. He is anticipating a 45 minute walk to class this morning due to the icy sidewalks which normally takes him 25 minutes.
How is your ds doing ? Classes resuming today ? My mom had the aide dial me up last night… looking for glasses and teeth !!! She was curious why she has not had any visitors…. Hard to judge from the inside that roads are terrible and travel unless an emergency is being discouraged… Hope to get there today and see what her PT plan is…She is only allowed 20 days max before they discharge her from there….
Hope you all are well and enjoy the day !

February 4, 2022 @ 9:03 am

i think ds ended up with a foot of snow? they are remote today too! definitely not conditions for him to be out in – i’m surprised osu is in person

Also today at 6pm the deluxe rare item is the Medieval Curtains, if any deluxe players are able to pick one up I can trade something for it! I just finally put all my medieval furniture in one room and didnt realize how much I was missing.
I will probably add some of the medieval items and more to my wishlist this weekend.
I will have to think of a joke haha, lemme put on my thinking cap. 🙂

February 4, 2022 @ 3:29 pm

gaga—Stella is doing really well. The cold weather makes it tough to exercise her, but we make do. Yesterday we had some sun and she was laying on the back of the couch like a cat. LOL Will try and get a cute Valentine pic of her. Looking forward to the super bowl as well, but I’m rooting for the Rams. I want Matt Stafford win it all. I hope the commercials are good too. I’ll be watching the halftime show, should be pretty good I hope. Along with grunge, this was the music of my College years/20s.
moms—lol Love your predictions!

Stella pictures! I love Stella
I have no idea what my predictions would be, but I did not predict that one of the groundhogs would die the day before groundhogs day. Did anyone see that? What does that mean for the weather prediction?
Gaga – we got a bunch of snow too! No idea how much, maybe 6 inches? Hard to tell because the wind has been moving around and I haven’t gone out yet. We were supposed to get more than that. My parents got over a foot where they are.

February 4, 2022 @ 11:51 pm
The recipe looks good, Dee!
Interesting predictions, moms! I am not good at predicting anything, but will try to think of something …
♥Stella
I didn’t hear about one of the groundhogs dying…
Gaga – I’m friends with Betty Butter Ganz on FB.
Oops….I need to do two more webkinz accounts before midnight! Later!

February 5, 2022 @ 12:30 am
1) I predict that I will hear news of a new grandchild in the works.
2) I predict that the Chicago Cubs will make it to the World Series and hopefully win it! (This would make for a very happy household!)
3) I predict that the car looters/thieves in my neighborhood will finally be caught.
