Cabbage Roll Casserole for dinner tonight. Can out quite wonderful, though I may change some of the seasoning the next time.

[Jane]

Thank you DR John G.

I haven't mailed it yet. It might take a week or so.

No problem.

I've never heard of this.

The heater in our bedroom stopped working last night.  Fortunately, after about an hour, Keith was able to get the emergency heat to kick on.  It is still working, for how long we don't know.  Since the repair guy couldn't come today I have put clean sheets on in the guest room just in case we have to switch rooms.

I hope if the heat does goes go out again it won't be in the middle of the night.

I am tired of people blaming this terrible storm on my wife, Sandy.


STOP IT!

I could use a card from Texas

Did I miss something?  Are you collecting post cards?

DR Jane's post from last night:


I have a dear friend in L.A. who's granddaughter has a class project to collect as many post cards from around the US as possible.  They don't know many out of state people & only have Oregon, of course, AZ & FL covered, though duplicates are welcome.

Would any DR's be so kind as to send a post card?  If so let me know & I will send you their address.

Thanks.

I did miss that.  DR Jane, pm me the address.  I can send one from Iowa and go across the river and get one from Nebraska. Oh! And I'm going to South Dakota tomorrow to check out the pet hotel, so I may be able to do the whole tri-state area. 

Fantastic!  She needs all three of these states.

Does she want postmarks on them?  If not I could just stick all three in an envelope

[Cillaliz]

DR Cilla I just sent you the address.  I hope you like the pet hotel.  Maybe they have postcards.

Maybe they do, it would be a unique one.

It was easy. Just throw ground beef, rice, tomato sauce, onion and cabbage together. Bake and serve. You could probably use more rice and more cabbage in it instead of the meat.

Sounds yummy.  I don't believe I've ever made this type of casserole.  That's about to change.

Postmarks are nice but she will also be very happy if you put them in an envelope.

I waited to comment on our potential loss of heat until I knew our DR's were warm again.

'night

[ChasSmith]

Just in from DR Vixmom: 

Power and heat just came on, lost internet will be back when can.  My mom got her power back early today.

Whoa!

FANTASTIC!

And don't sweat the internet.  Power and heat are EVERYTHING.    

[ChasSmith]

It's wonderful being able to listen/watch/relax in my music and movie room for the first time in two weeks -- following the week-plus in L.A., and the storm.

Got some great listening done with the latest Kritzerland CDs, and dipped my toes into the water with JUBLIEE and EILEEN.  Relaxing and enjoyable.

[Cillaliz]

SOOO happy that the power seems to be on for everyone.

N0!  Power, heat, AND Haines His Way are everything.

SOOO happy that the power seems to be on for everyone. 

Me too, but also relieved that everyone is safe and sound.

10:20pm here. I'll post more tomorrow. Just good to be back to normal.

I spent the evening cleaning out the defrosted freezer and refrigerator. It couldn't wait any longer because some things were starting to smell.

We have hot water and tomorrow I'll have a cup of coffee!!! I walked uptown today to get my hair cut. I wanted to wait and go to my barber but it was just beginning to drive me crazy so I went to a barber I used to go to when I lived on 46th Street and 9th Avenue (in 1982). He didn't remember me but it's been 30 years and he did a good job. I'm sure Yuri, my current barber will understand. I don't even know if the shop will be open tomorrow anyway and he lives in Queens which was particularly hard hit so he may not be cutting hair for a few more days anyway.

That's enough for now. It's time to climb into bed and turn out the light (that's good to say) and go to sleep in a warm apartment.

Nytol!

Sorry I desserted you last night, Cilla.

[Cillaliz]

Sorry I desserted you last night, Cilla.

No worries, I didn't take it personally....actually I sort of desserted you to tend to my farmville animals

[Cillaliz]

So, Sorry I desserted you last night TCB

[vixmom]

Hello out there in Hainsieland!!

[vixmom]

Internet is back but spotty -  but I have lights and HEAT  blessed blessed HEAT!!

[vixmom]

My Mom called me at work and told me her power had come back but I  did not dare to hope that ours woudl be taken care of as wqell

[vixmom]

When I got home the light swere on - and then I opednde the front door and was created by warm air

[vixmom]

I was so happy I nearly cried

[vixmom]

I am so please to see that Ben, Anthony and Chas are also powered up!!

[vixmom]

The lines for gasoline are extraodinary -- this morning I drove by a line that extended for over two miles

[vixmom]

The younguns at work (the under 30's) were expressing hteir surprise that people would queue so long fpr gas - we older ones started recounting tales of teh gas shortages of the 70's withthe  odd/even system

My friedns and I used to sleep in our cars at the gas station over night to ensure we got gas ands got to work on time

[vixmom]

AS more people get power I am hoping the problem resolves itself a little -- many station s have gas but no power so could not pump   and as more people get power the use of generators will decrease
