I’m just seeing that on Twitter and Rhodeway Inn is charging people extra deposit money if they are renting rooms for unhoused people (so don’t tell them that’s what you are doing)

Bundle up little hippo

Reports are the 2 shelters are full though. Great job to city for getting those others opened.

Aux heat kicked in. Trying not to think of how much money it’s costing me to warm this old ass house.

1,324

I'm worried. I read that leaving a faucet dripping can help reduce the chance since it keeps the water moving through the pipes. I left my kitchen sink slow dripping and my upstairs bathroom slow dripping.

I also decided to do a load in the dishwasher even though it wasn't quite full yet. I am hoping this helps and will prob take a shower before bed for good measure.

He never said he was a good sleeper agent

Eventually I am going to have to walk my dog before bed in this next level cold :-(

Did you go out to eat or make dinner? I wanna know what fanciness you ate and drank!

After my 4th attempt at trying to get in Jasper over the past 2 weeks, I’m finally here after only a 15 minute wait. It’s nice, but y’all folks who wait in line 1 hour+ are on crack

I didn't wanna make a new thread so I'll ask here and hope somebody replies...

How worried should I be about my pipes bursting? I'm a new home owner and I have to be out of the house over the holidays. I left my kitchen sink on drip, turned off the two spigots in the backyard but I don't have an accessible valve for the one in the front yard. I put insulation covers on all 3 before I left.

Edit forgot to mention my thermo is on ECO mode and it looks like it's keeping the house at 55F right now

Ours does this adorable thing when the door is open. First he stares out like he has never seen that room before. Then he tries to shake the cold off his paws. 😻

I’m so happy I went out to buy a heated blanket today. Cozy with it now, eating biscuits and listening to Tom Waits records.

Just made this for myself except with St. Brendan's instead of Baileys. Really nice.

Rewatching Mr Robot. It’s been about 3 years and it’s so amazing watching it back through knowing everything. Such a well done show.

They’re big into cheetah breeding. There are a few adolescent cubs there now.

Racism?

Or don’t, whatever is clever.

Lolwhat

My bad, his name was indeed Shirley Jasper. Apologies.

Got takeout pho and bahn mi's (shout-out to Pho Saigon in Short Pump), totally full and sitting cozy by the Christmas tree.

Aww cutie!

I drove by and the line was past galaxy

But the cemeteries are there, and are culturally and historically important. Either we dig everyone up and move them, which is not gonna happen, for lots of good reasons, so we need to take care of them, rather than let them fall into disrepair.

The Amityville Horror illustrates what happens when you build a subdivision over an inconvenient cemetery. 😋
