It looks like a snow day today here. A neighboring county and the city next to us have both declared a snow emergency. They're calling the highways "passable but hazardous." It's been snowing and sleeting off and on. I think I'm going to stay at home, at least for the morning.
Today is not a good day. I keep trying to have better days but it just ain't happening. My sister called this morning, hubby talked to her because she was calling in, she lost the baby. I have no details cuz I'm sure he wasn't pushing her but they couldn't find the heartbeat. I'm guessing she had an appointment yesterday when they discovered this. I was worried about whether she could carry the baby but I still didn't expect this.

Man, that's hard Woo. How far along was she? I had a friend who lost her first baby too. It took them forever to get pregnant, and then after 2 months she miscarried. They didn't know if they would try again, but they did, and they now have a happy, rambunctious 2 year old.
I'm not exactly sure, but just a few months. She told us just before Christmas. She was just starting to show some. It wasn't a planned pregnancy but they were happy. And this would of been a baby with her new husband. She's 43 and has had surgery so I worried but still.....

We had an early miscarriage before the boy came along too. It wasn't devastating for us, because it was early enough we had the first dr appointment scheduled, but hadn't had it yet. I sometimes think about it and wonder if it was a boy or a girl, what kind of personality he/she would have had, etc.
Morning all. We are dealing with the storm most of you had. Snow started later last night. Over the last few hours we moved into the rain/sleet/freezing rain so now there is a sheet of ice on top of everything phase. It is due to turn to all rain and wash this mess away by this afternoon. I am at work, no issues. Not many people were out, that was very helpful. I think the schools are on two hour delays.
Woo - I am sorry to hear about your sister. I hope she recovers well.
As for me, I think I am off to play with OH and KY.

Morning all. The storm passed us last night and honestly we got off lightly. Maybe 1/2 inch of snow. Kind of a quiet day around the office. We have a division level all hands meeting this afternoon, then a department level one on Friday. It gets old pretty quick.
Woo... sorry about your sister's miscarriage. That has to be difficult for your family.
Fuzzy... hope the storm mess gets cleaned up for you pretty quickly.

Well, I'm at work now. My boss picked me up in their SUV, because I wouldn't have made it into the parking lot. One of the guys got stuck in the middle of the lot, so he just left it where it was and came in. Well, what he didn't know was that it was overheating because the snow was keeping the engine from letting the heat off, and his car caught fire! Apparently there were firetrucks here and everything. So now, in the middle of a bare lot, we have a charred car.
Don't worry about our weather mess. It is supposed to warm up about 10 degrees and keep raining. That should take care of things. Just have to watch for ice overnight if it doesn't dry out. I think it is supposed to keep raining or more rain later tonight or something.

Hi everyone. We got a little snow this morning, just enough to make the roads slippery to get to work. Sun is out now and the fresh snow is sparkling like diamonds.....very pretty to look at.
I have to get my eyes examined later this afternoon. Right now I wear glasses only for reading, but I've noticed some changes in my vision, so I'll probably have to have new ones made to wear all the time now.
Mz, 10 inches of snow and 3/4 inch of ice is a big deal around here. That's more than enough to close schools and some government services down for a day.
Hi everyone...another snowy, turned to ice then rainy day. I truly am sick of this weather. I don't remember a winter this bad.
I almost fell coming out of the police station today it was sheer ice.
I put together a box for my (kinda sorta brother in law, the brother of my ex boyfriend who I was for the past 5 years) he over in Iraq. I think of him and the other Troops and it makes this weather that I am complaining about seem petty.

Our boss (not too sure if I should associate him with such a concept but...) drives a 1995 VW Golf. He is so excited, it has what they call a CD Player in it. It's really fantastic, you take this small plastic shiny thing that looks sort of like a small 45 record, then push it face up in to an opening in your dashboard. Once in this opening, the disc spins around and around until sound comes out of multiple speakers that are embedded within the panels of the vehicle. Amazing, just amazing.
