Today's plans include finishing wrapping gifts, getting fancy dinner ready for tonight, making cinnamon rolls for tomorrow morning, eating said fancy dinner along with good wine and a fantastic dessert, hanging out with family, and generally relaxing.

I'd really like to take the dogs for a walk, but I don't want to go outside.

Power out here 😞

Stayed toasty all night, and surprised the kids with pancakes for breakfast. Gotta do a little more wrapping this morning and then its going to be a lot of in-law time.

Damn, I read it as a joke. Nothing more.

Lost power for 2 hours yesterday. We have the annual Christmas Eve gathering of the family. My nephew is missing out as he is scheduled to work at his new job and his mum warned him that having an adult job means missing out sometimes. He had been given thanksgiving off and he was told by her to expect to work during Christmas. The future mom will probably not be there as food smells trigger her ongoing nausea. So it is 11 instead of 13. My other sister is picking us up and only allowing 25 mins to get to Short Pump for our dinner with all the last minute shoppers I have my doubts that we will be on time.

Attempting to make ponche de creme with apple pie moonshine substitute. I should use rum, buuuuut I'm sure as long as it's spiked it'll be fine.

Cold but yes. Emergency heat on but at least we still have power. Have a few things to do and top of the list is breakfast and adult time. At least that's my plan not sure what she gotta do but hopefully its 1 or both of those. Merry Christmas Eve and stay warm.

802!!!

They FTX'd a ton of the local charities using them as a place to hold donations. They mixed the local charity money with their own money against the contracts with those charities and rugpulled the local charity money in the end. This shady as shit nonprofit was run by thieves, and those responsible deserve jail.

Better to think of zoos as genetic arks, saving species by studying them. Zoos all over the world share data without regard for boundaries, more concerned that their animals can be healthy, and if possible, support their wild cousins by educating people about what they need to survive.

You are so naive. You probably think birds are real.

Late to the party here, but if your pipes are in a crawl space — and that crawl space’s vents are covered and it’s properly insulated — you should be fine.

We kept the taps with any exterior-facing pipes on drip overnight for good measure but any well-insulated crawl space is gonna stay above freezing.

You’re a university student. Research it and tell us the answer.

I have to say it warms my heart that you finally have a doctor that listened to you and got you that MRI scan to set you on the path to get better. I don't have any advice, other than to take it easy and stick to your recovery plan to a T, but you will be fine, as I've known several people who've had the surgery and their lives have become 1000% better. Have a Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah, and a speedy recovery! 2023 is already looking to be a better year for you ;)

Who is your surgeon?

It’s a new breed of naked cat.

Ya, I'm in no way religious however so it would feel a bit awkward.

I remember this - absolute absurdity by Enrichmond! They ended up blaming a volunteer for creating this...yet, they posted it all over their social media accounts 🤔

Whatever it takes, I know he can make it thru-ooo

Hey! Glad you got in. As I said before, this surgery will be a light switch! You’ll basically wake up and wonder whether you actually had surgery-it’s seriously that relieving of a procedure. Just take it easy and avoid stairs, as they’ll tell you, for a few weeks and don’t lift heavy for a few months, and you’ll be so happy you had the surgery. Good luck with everything!

We just watched it too! Of course I love the original more, but this one was lots of fun!
