Were these the days when one placed a note in a bottle & sent it off to sea OR when birds carried the letter? :-)

We had these things called land line telephones. Some had rotary dials.

Back in the days when the TV remote had two legs, two arms, and had to be fed three times a day.

This is OT but there are times I miss half a program looking for the remote when I could walk over to the TV and turn it but...............

What? No way? You can do that? You are allowed to actually touch the monitor? Isn't that dangerous? I just checked my televison's instruction booklet and it doesn't say anything about doing such a thing. It does say that if you're going to touch the monitor to unplug the television. Maybe it's in the Spanish, or French, instruction booklet? I wish I could remember more of my high school French.

I got an email from one of my assignors just a few minutes ago. All games for that conference tonight are cancelled, which means my night just became a lot more open. I don't think it'll be my last assignment cancelled tonight. I'm in suburban Chicago and they're talking almost 2 feet of snow.

And now for something completely different

Similar to you, in the DC area our schools are closed and games cancelled when we get .0002 feet of snow. :rolleyes:

Good luck!

Grab a shovel.

Wish they'd cancel Congress when that happens.

My neighbor shovels. I don't get it -- they have money and could easily afford a snowblower. What takes them a few backbreaking hours is completely finished by me in about 30 minutes or so.

Just did my driveway and carved out the mailboxes so the mailman doesn't give birth to a canary if he has to stretch his arm more than 2 inches out the car window.

I lost a JV/V girls date last night, a JV Boys (three whistle) game tonight, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to lose my JC Women's game tomorrow night. What a crappy week for the STL area!

I just hope I get to keep the rest of my games later on this week!

Lost a GJV/GV combo tonight. Not much snow, just cold. ( Supposed to hit -20 overnight).

Thats a good thing, isnt it?

Well, unless you were counting on those to make your minimum requirement for post-season.

LOL. Nah, I've got more than the minimum.
