From WBNS 10 TV:

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The National Weather Service has
issued a winter storm warning from 4 a.m. Friday through
6 p.m. Saturday for Franklin and other counties
in central Ohio. The morning commute could be messy,
Live Doppler 10 chief meteorologist Chris Bradley said.

Thursday night will be cloudy with snow and freezing
drizzle beginning by Friday morning, Bradley said.

Snow is expected to start falling Friday morning,
with 2 to 3 inches expected by evening rush hour, Bradley said.

Friday's high temperature will be 35 degrees.

More snow is expected to fall until noon Saturday,
with 5 to 8 inches of total accumulation across central Ohio.

Some areas could see higher amounts of snow,
depending on the track of the storm, Bradley said.

Saturday's high will be 29 degrees.

-----------------------------------------

Looks like it will be a fun weekend considering
Tony is on call with the pager.
Wonder how many hours he'll get in with salting and plowing,
no heats or hot water? Frozen water lines bursting.

If you go out of town or the country
DO NOT TURN YOUR HEAT OFF!!!
Just turn the heat down to about 60 degrees.
So many people do this. You'll end up with frozen
or busted water pipes!!!

Good thing Aldis is about 5 minutes from here
as I was planning on going there tomorrow
for fresh fruits and vegetables. I haven't been there
in quite awhile but after seeing Kroger's prices
on them figured by going there it would be much
cheaper.

----------------------------------------
I've been taking my prescription medicine and have
not really noticed it working. Yeah sure my stomach
pains have lessoned but I thought the whole idea
of taking them was to lesson the diarrhea. Still no
change in that as I just got home and couldn't get the
door opened fast enough to run to the bathroom.
It's called Bentyl. Actually it's a generic from of it.
I've been reading online some of it's side affects.
It was giving some people panic attacks.
Helloooo did the doctor not read the form I filled
out about my medical history before prescribing things.
I have panic attacks, and not that I have discovered
any side affects yet personally, it does not help one that has
these attacks to read that this could be a side affect!!

-------------------------------------

Stopped in Kroger today to get some milk
and butter. Checked the refrigerated section
where they keep manager specials and found
a tub of Smart Balance sour cream in there for
.99 cents. I had a $1.00 coupon so it made it free.
I have noticed now when I get manager specials
and use coupons on them that the cashiers
have to force the coupon through. That's when
they try to scan it and the register won't accept it.

----------------------------------------

I have a ton of potatoes lingering and have
tried in the past to freeze them. You don't
want to freeze raw potatoes as they could
turn brown. I have had luck with frying them
and putting them in zip loc freezer bags.

Mom found a hint out of a Taste of Home magazine
for freezing potatoes:

HASHBROWNS

Shred potatoes. Hold in a bowl of cold water until all
potatoes are shredded. Drain and blanch in boiling water
for about 3 minutes. Drain, rinse in cold water, again
drain again and pat dry. Pack into freezer containers
or resealable bags. Store in freezer for up to a year.

Getting better, lol, around here.
Seems like something going on everyday!
Got a phone call from the school at 1:30pm
saying Jonathan threw up. So I went and
got him. His temperature is only 99
and he has a stomach ache and slight headache.

My step-dad actually let me try to repair his boots
today to save him the cost of buying new.
He has a pair of duck boots that developed a crack
in them allowing water to seep in.
All it took was a handy dandy hot glue gun to fix it.

Have blemish-prone skin?
Try a weekly green tea facial! Because
green tea has antibacterial properties and can reduce inflammation, it's the perfect ingredient for acne sufferers. Cleanse your skin, then fill a basin with hot water. Steep 2-4 bags of tea in the water.
Then place your face comfortablly over the bowl. Drape a towel over your head for a few minutes, and let the tea-infused steam deep-clean
every pore!

Ok I tried to go a half a day without any pain
medication to see if my back has felt any better.
I made it through half the day with what felt like
a stiff back. Felt a little better than normal.
Now that I am sitting around and bed time is drawing
closer I gave in and took some Ibuprofen.
A hot bath last night seemed to help.
Just don't feel like trying to get
in and out of the tub tonight.
It's bad enough trying to bend over
to retrieve the dog bowls off the floor to
feed and water her. Now's about the time
I wish I had automatic food bowls.
Think I'll go fire up the heating pad and
read a few books.
I never know whether to use hot or cold
for certain aches so I guess I will find out.
Let's hope it ain't the hard way!

Can't wait to see what the weather has in
store for us tomorrow morning.
