Why did I bother washing and straightening my hair this morning? A 3 minute walk to the bus and it looks like a bird's nest LOL
Thankfully, not -47 but all this different winter weather leads me to the QOTD

Glad we're bringing back the QotD Thread after a year hiatus
Thanks FP!

Snow Day!!

Are you going to build an igloo with the penguinettes?

[Darth Penguin]

Nope...

Snow days are for pjs, a good book and a huge cup of tea. Not going out in it.

Good morning, Everyone!

All that rain froze overnight, it's -5, heading to -1, busses are running, kids are in school. One big accident already, driving must be treacherous.

Be well, Everyone! (Yes, the word before an exclamation mark on my new tablet gets automatically capitalized! It's Possessed! )

morning early bird chirpies!! Ours was the same here, rain and then it froze....however the sidewalk, lawn and driveway are now visible now that last nights 3 a.m. salt treatment took effect. ( ty to my DS ) The only good thing about that rain was it melted that awful white stuff.
Need to get going again, that chili won't make itself!
Have a lovely day all!!

Sadly, I have to go out to deal with more legalese stuffs..

I'm still shaking!!!!

I was in the recroom doing some crafting when I heard a loud thud upstairs and Jenny
started barking wildly....and she didn't stop barking. So I went upstairs and omg, the heavy smell of some guy's cologne was at the top of the stairs! Like Drakkar Noir! Jenny came up to me, not barking, so I opened the front door and our neighbour was shovelling his driveway..I asked him if he saw anyone, and told him what happened and he said he'd stay there with my front door open while I looked around the house, making sure the back door was locked, etc, and by then that scent had totally disappeared!

Honestly, it was like walking into a cloud of that type of cologne, it would give you a headache!
Anyway....nothing amiss, but I don't think my heart is going to stop pounding for a while....

I won't be going downstairs again, that's for certain! I really am still shaking.....that heavy, thick scent!!!! It's like I can still smell it, it was that strong!

What on earth do you make of it?!!! It's been about 5 minutes and my heart is still pounding and I'm shaking!!!

[Lynn49]

Oh, lovely...DD asked if perhaps it could have been a stroke...! But I'm fine now.
A loud bang, then that headache inducing smell of Drakkar Noir!!

[walkonby]

^^^ NOT the kind of thoughts I want to think ( you having a stroke! ) , but then again thinking a stranger was in your house is no more of a comfort either. Keep us posted.

Walks, I'm still shaking, I was that scared. Then I thought: who would break in wearing THAT heavy a cologne?!!

A cologne thief with really bad taste in colonge?? Was your door unlocked? Sounds like he came in a realized someone was home or the barking deterred him. any foot prints in the snow?

[Natalka]

Oh, Lynn, how scary - and odd...

[lecale]

Did an air freshener fall over?

[Lynn49]

@Natalka , I don't recall being that scared in a very long time!!
@lecale , no air fresheners in the house at all...I had a roast cooking, but whew! That men's cologne overpowered everything!
