I remember hearing about this probably around a year ago, sounds like they're finally making moves on it.

I dont care what is in it, NyQuil, DayQuil, all the Quils are like some magical elixir that either knock me out for 6 hours so I can sleep, or numb my body enough to be a semi-functional adult for 3 hours during the day. It's great. I hope they never change lol

Prepper.

When I say prepped, I have plenty of food from my normal grocery shopping, a full tank of gas and my snow gear

My brother Michael, a very bright fellow and engineer for Samsung, is a prepper.

There's certainly nothing wrong with being prepared.

Good luck with the weather,

I find the homesteading/prepper crowd on youtube to be fascinating. Not going to lie, if I could live on even an acre of land, I'd have a massive garden and greenhouse to grow my own fruits and veggies and learn how to can.

Canning is easy. You don't even need a garden to do it.

We grow our own tomatoes, but still end up buying a bunch from our local farmer's market for canning. Can't remember the last time we've bought a can of tomatoes from the supermarket.

Same goes for jams.

Love pickled watermelon, too!

My goal this summer is to go the farmers market route and try making a small batch of my own tomato sauce. I also want to buy garlic to make my own jar of chopped garlic in oil as well as garlic pucks that I can use when I run out of fresh garlic.

Hopefully the growing season is better this year here. Late frost plus record heat really impacted what was available.

You might want to consider just canning the tomatoes alone, and then using them to make a batch of sauce fresh, as needed. Then you can just freeze whatever you don't use.

We tried canning sauce before, but for whatever reason, you don't get the same shelf life that you do with just canned tomatoes.

Ended up with almost a foot of snow with a lovely layer of ice crusted ontop here in the Cinci area. It's like I moved here from NH and winter came with me.

We are supposed to get snow here Friday, although this far out the weather guys I follow say the accumulation could be anywhere "from dangit to stacks" lol

Ought to be interesting

My son and his fiance live in Cincy (Madisonville) too. He texted me yesterday and said they got 13 inches. I told him that shoveling was why his mom and I decided to have children......

I'm up here in Chicago and didn't get anything.....

When my left ear releases I'm probably going to have a legitimate house party I'll be that excited.

Have you tried an ear irrigation kit? I get hella earwax, so I've had a doctor irrigate then before and it's a beautiful thing. They sell kits at drugstores with the bulb things to shoot warm water into it, might help drain out any excess fluid

Peroxide cured my last ear problem. Just have to do small doses.

I've read that as well, actually.

This is on my list as well. I'm going to give it another day.

There's lots of action in there right now, it's crackling and kind of popping but not releasing. Hopefully it's a start. It's so god damn annoying, lol.

Not to speak ill of the dead, but he was a child molester and didn't get adequately punished for it.

It's been a mess from Kansas to D.C.(I saw those jackknifed semis on I-470), but here in Eastern Mass. it's sunny, dry and a mean 24 degrees.

Sadly, this seems not to matter to the majority of people in some countries.

It's how I feel about John Phillips of The Mammas & the Papas.

One of my favorite bands ever. But that man was pure filth.

This is straight up horrifying

LAFD is begging for anyone with firefighting experience to help
