Re: Shut the Door! WEDNESDAY@ the MSC
At our last HOA quarterly meeting the president said they negotiated a new contract with Spectrum for our cable TV and Internet service. We would be getting some new channels and faster Internet speed and it was going to be cheaper. I got my e-statement from Spectrum this afternoon and my new bill i...

Re: Shut the Door! WEDNESDAY@ the MSC
According to the TV station's weather app I have on my phone, we had 4 1/2 inches of snow. That's the 5th highest snowfall ever in Myrtle Beach. The record is 14 inches on Christmas Eve into Christmas Day in 1989, the only white Christmas in the history of Myrtle Beach.

Re: Shut the Door! WEDNESDAY@ the MSC
I went for a walk around the neighborhood, it's cold. I think it's time to get rid of my L.L. Bean boots. I walked through some slushy sections in the street and the parking lot and when I got home and took the boots off my socks were wet. Oh well, I've had these boots for more than 30 years, I thin...

Re: Shut the Door! WEDNESDAY@ the MSC
Good morning. I haven't been outside yet but I might go downstairs and walk around to see how bad the snow is. When I moved here in 2012 I saved my ice scraper/snow brush and left it in the trunk of my car. I don't know where it is now so I can't clean my car off. I wonder if I left it in the trunk ...

Re: Winter Freeze? TUESDAY @ the MSC
It's snowing. I just looked out back, the street and all the grass is completely covered. I checked the weather app on my phone and the temperature is 27 with a wind chill of 16. I don't think I'm going to go out to play in the snow.

Re: Winter Freeze? TUESDAY @ the MSC
The wind chill was in the 20s so I went to the mall instead of the park for my daily walk. It was pretty empty but I saw a woman with green hair, another one with blue hair, 2 with pink hair and a guy with shoulder length hair that was blue on the left and purple on the right. Several stores had sig...

Re: Winter Freeze? TUESDAY @ the MSC
According to the weather report on the noon news the snow isn't supposed to start for a few hours. I think I'll get out for my daily walk while it's only cold instead of cold and snowy.

Re: Winter Freeze? TUESDAY @ the MSC
Good morning.
I wish the weather people would make up their minds. First it was just a dusting of snow, then it was maybe an inch, now it's 1-3 inches. The people here are bad enough drivers in perfect weather, they'll be even worse with snow and ice.

Re: Midwinter MONDAY@ the MSC
My older (by 2 years, we shared the same birthday) brother was diagnosed with a small spot of cancer in one of his lungs several months ago. His doctor's decided to treatment him with 3 rounds of radiation. His last treatment was 1/7. He said it was kicking his a$$ and he was extremely tired. I was...

Re: Midwinter MONDAY@ the MSC
Good morning Bill and whoever else may be around. I think I'll make a quick supermarket run today instead of waiting for Wednesday for the senior citizen discount. We're supposed to get snow tomorrow into Wednesday morning. Only about an inch in the forecast but the low temperature is supposed to be...

Re: Snowy?? SUNDAY @ the MSC
Just got back from my first platelet donation of 2025. On the way home there was a car in front of me with license plates from North Dakota. We're supposed to have temperatures in the high 20s-low 30s the next few days. That North Dakotan probably thinks that's a heat wave.

Re: Snowy?? SUNDAY @ the MSC
Good morning. I have no rooting interest in any of the NFL playoff games but I was kind of hoping Detroit would win yesterday. There are only 4 teams that have never played in the Big Game (I can't say S***r B**l because I'm not an official NFL sponsor) and Detroit is one of them. I guess I'll root ...

Re: WOOHOO for SATURDAY @ the MSC
Good morning Linda and Bill. The Hurricanes played the Vegas Golden Knights last night and the announcer got in a nice little tribute to Bob Uecker using one of his lines from Major League. A player took a shot on goal and it went wide of the net. The announcer said "just a bit outside." A...

Good morning Linda and Penny. I may continue yesterday's do nothing day today. I got an email from my law school about the Annual Alumni Winter Reception. I used to go every year when I was still working because they had it in midtown Manhattan and I could walk from my office. I haven't gone since I...

Bob Uecker died, he was 90 years old. He must be in the front row now.

Re: National NOTHING Thursday @ the MSC
Good morning. I was planning on doing nothing, little did I know I would be celebrating a day. The Hurricanes played the Buffalo Sabres last night and I saw something I never saw before in a hockey game. The Sabres didn't get a shot on goal in the entire 3rd period but they scored a goal. They were ...

Re: Wednesday @ the MSC
Good morning Linda, Penny and Ken. We have what passes for frigid weather here, it's 42 degrees. Overnight lows the next couple of days are supposed to be in the high 20s-low 30s. But no snow so I'm okay with the cold weather.
