Well I thank Kay and George for their sharing the Keto low Carb benefits.....The more I learn about the Keto and intermittent fasting benefits, the more positive lifestyle I am rewarded with....Finally warming up here, doing some painting inside Garage today...Hopefully taking Wife out for early Valentines Dinner this evening....We've been babysitting sick grand daughter last two days(today will be #3), night out is well deserved, my patience is not what it used to be...I'm officially Grumpy.....

Keto and the intermittent fasting is a key to brain health....Did the Birthday party thing last night with Judi's Great granddaughter...Quite the show, Someone dressed up like Mouse and kids all singing and having great time....Sad side her Mother called us at 3:30 AM from a waiting room looking for money....it was so sad, doesn't remember its her Daughters birthday but remembered our number(used someone elses phone)....told her to call back during daytime hours....Called back two more times within the hour....Quiet now

I've spent 40 years in the North and have never had more than -60 wind chill.....This -110 wind chill is almost unbelievable ...that is Crazy.....

WATCH: Live Look Atop Mt. Washington,,(New Hampshire Which Just Set a Wind Chill Record of -109 By Saturday at 7 a.m., temperatures had dipped as far down as -45 degrees, two degrees shy of the lowest ever, with a wind chill that made it feel like -109, a new wind chill record for the observatory.........ALL time record anywhere

Good morning, had a Medical dominated week....Top news Second EKO Cardiogram on my heart showed no problem, Personal yearly check up was OK(lost 12 lbs), did a Bone scan, and was at clinic for an hour for Blood work.....Our bad weather is over for about 7-10 days.....Babysitting grandkid today, its her 7th birthday tomorrow...Her Grand mother has quite the party planned .........Watching east coast Temps today, tad chilly..

Temperatures in Edmonton are above Freezing Thursday afternoon for the first time since Nov. 27. That means the city went 52 days without getting above Freezing zero and that streak ties 1978 for the third-longest on record. Only 1956 (83 days) and 1950 (67 days) had longer stretches of sub-freezing daytime highs.4 days ago.....but alas in 4 days we slip back down again..waiting for Groundhog.....Taking down Christmas stuff this week...

Gwen, Santa Clause(my #2 Son) bought us two season tickets to our local Professional Football team......Looking to get back into following the team closely.....I still watch lots of NFL, getting interesting..Happy New Year

Five days ago she was talking about buying a gift for her daughter and arranging a visit, now she is back to crystal meth delusions...Different drugs, different reactions...Good news is text lines are quiet

Got a call from my daughter last night and she was more confused and paranoid than usual....I agreed to send her early Christmas gift....Re emphasized that if she straightened out, stayed clean for a month these feelings would clear up....That only ended with I don't know anything.....Then I lost it and explained I volunteered for two winters at the Shelters and I do know...Long story short, she now has money from the Old man, the government, and her mother to get her through the cold snap, or they will party in the hotel for three days and it all starts again...What a life for a Child with so much promise....Minus 40 up here this morning

Sent my daughter half her Christmas gift(money) and double checked with her Mother to coordinate currency giftsso we spread it out .....as it all goes pretty fast .She sounds not too bad and I have hopes I can get her somewhat straight for the summer...I have hope, her Brothers not as hopeful....

I have a story very similar to Marg...My youngest daughter almost froze her feet off..She was at burn unit and feet black...It was all drug related...My plan was to get her south so it won't happen again...She OD" d last summer and it took 4 shots to bring her back..(Fendenal)..........The sad part is she has a beautiful daughter and she still won't get her act together She is 40, definitely Skitzophrenic , such a waste.......Daughter lives up here with her Dad...Kay we have lots of shelters, but as mentioned, a lot of homeless don't want a Shelter, they prefer tents and privacy....Shelters for washrooms and hygiene...They are mentally ill...

The weather swings are so dramatic...Hard on the highways and infrastructure...Our homeless get lulled on the mild days but the cardboard is no good for the minus 20-30 stuff

Weather turned and now 25 F and snow......Dog loves it and now I get my exercise...Calling this a Polar Vortex and now heading East...Hope that's it for awhile...

When its that cold it never snows, thank god.....Looking at the weather this morning its at least 20 degrees warmer...As you guess, outdoor activities are limited for sure..

Great pictures Marg.!! We had _ minus 44 last night with the wind chill....all Bus services suspended for schools...This will warm up at least 15 degrees by Friday...Grandson Atlas's birthday on Saturday( 6years old)....And its dark here by 4 :30 PM..only 15 more days till the winter solstice....

Good picture, that is flatland...is there much Prairie ?

Temperature update Dec 1, -20 with the wind and Snow...very refreshing...Marg, Louisiana looks good today...

Marg I could use a shot of your 85F weather.. Winter is here, kids got out trick or treating on Monday, then K Bang, sub Freezing everyday and night since....Dog not keen on snow at all...Otherwise pretty good.....

Got my first snow today and its cold to boot...15 degrees F....My dog totally confused, doesn't like it at all....Got to walk down 10 steps to coax her out for bathroom...Picking up 6 year old from school everyday, keeps me out of trouble......Time change on Sunday, willbe dark by 6PM, or earlier...Take care..

Thanks Marg, The freezing temperatures are just around the corner........It's been a beautiful summer...Did you see the picture of Atlas my ring bearer?
