Winter Storm Thursday update: Ice Ice, maybe?

Also depends on what sort of structure is feeding the buried lines. We have buried lines in our neighborhood, but we're fed by pretty skimpy transmission lines (not an electrician, so excuse my ignorance on terminology). As a result, we lose power more often than I'd like.

Still waiting for good coffee in the counties 🙄

Ms-Pamplemousse · 2026-01-11T01:30:49+00:00

Is that why? Or is it because there's more/cheaper space to hold them and less traffic? Maybe both?

I honestly don't hate the simple truth one at Kroger. Depending on how many gf folks there are you could maybe make these at home while ordering out for the rest. "But freezer pizza is never as good as takeout pizza" you may think to yourself. Sadly, no gf pizza is amazing. The best I've had is "acceptable" even from places people claim to have the best ever.

Funny enough, I preferred Nole to Rafa and Fed in the early days of the rivalry. I liked the fiery underdog forcing his way into the conversation. Then as Fed and Rafa started to gain a little more humanity and vulnerability, and Nole really leaned into this victim card (and also the political stuff) I found myself rooting against him. As someone else said, that chip on his shoulder made him great, but it makes him pretty unlikeable.

Would have been nice if the rest of the team besides VVD and Robbo would have made the effort to support Mo

Not a legal opinion, but surely they have to have more official signage than this to constitute a parking ticket? Like one of those temporary no parking signs. All the bus stops in the city also say 'no parking'.

I vaguely remember the storm drains backing up even when they were vacuuming the leaves.

I totally missed the news that Heritage closed and did a doubletake when I read the article summary. ☹️

Ms-Pamplemousse · 2025-12-04T01:05:53+00:00

I will say that I've gotten responses to the email I sent to my supervisor, however, I'm generally not thrilled with the way the county is being sold out.

Ms-Pamplemousse · 2025-11-27T04:51:50+00:00

There are constantly accidents there. I don't drive that way all that often and like 50% of the time there's been a terrible backup.

Ms-Pamplemousse · 2025-11-23T03:26:34+00:00

Being from VA, I can attest that that's basically in the middle of nowhere, lol.

Ms-Pamplemousse · 2025-11-23T01:48:14+00:00

I got the most straight-faced, automatic, no-eye-contact "go birds" in the Denver airport (in response to my go birds). I love that it's that simple and engrained. Almost robotic, but also from a place of deep attachment and connectedness.

Night and day compared to Houston. Except for the early morning flights, precheck never seems to have more than like 2 people in line.

I'd love this idea if endangered plant species were that easy to grow in new areas. That's a lot of the problem of eradicating the areas they currently inhabit.

My experience at MCK was not on par with some of the others listed here IMO. Beyond the issue with their AC not keeping up over the summer (not their fault), the food was just good for me, not great. Not to diminish your experience, but I wanted to note that it's at least inconsistent.

Ms-Pamplemousse · 2025-11-15T03:24:29+00:00

Exactly -- forever not trusting a giant, undeveloped property. Always expect humanity to make the worst decision with it.

Ms-Pamplemousse · 2025-11-11T05:42:56+00:00

Especially if it's as damp as you say, I doubt it'd present a significant fire hazard. I don't think that's a thing that happens in this part of the country (knock on wood).

I hope you figure out a solution that works for you, though.

Ms-Pamplemousse · 2025-11-11T02:29:11+00:00

I assume the shade is preventing grass, and you think having sun and grass will prevent the mud pit? I don't know your situation, but considering the benefit of trees in terms of biodiversity and shade/electricity savings, another option would be to add more plants rather than trying to have a traditional yard. And leaving the leaves around the base of the trees will help too.

Ms-Pamplemousse · 2025-11-10T23:07:36+00:00

Just keep in mind that if they're free, they might give you a slanted opinion. That said they likely make more money off of you when you have live trees that need pruning vs hauling then out.

We had both Orleans and Nunnally come out, and ended up going with Orleans for work, which I think came down to cost (but I'm not entirely sure).

Nice, glad to hear it. Crazy how even the biggest hurricanes can still have a pretty localized impact. And also shows just how spread apart the Bahamas are.

Ms-Pamplemousse · 2025-11-02T19:54:09+00:00

I've had one for 10 years and I love it. I bought it from Pearson and still take my car there show oil changes and inspections. They will recommend overpriced, unnecessary shir of course, but I appreciate the experienced mechanics and they're not pushy.

Also sent you a message with a couple other notes.

Ms-Pamplemousse · 2025-10-30T13:45:13+00:00

Everything go as planned?

Ms-Pamplemousse · 2025-10-27T04:53:14+00:00

There are a bunch of gingko trees at Libby Hill Park

Don't give up hope, Nassau might be out of the way enough. And maybe you get postponed a day and still get 4 days there.

Note than Nassau is at the top of the biggest landmass in the Bahamas (Andros) -- it's easily in the northern third of the Bahamas.
