I had to have a couple of tries to get on today,,,,you know I'm a techno phobe Tony,and I'll really miss you all when they finally tip us over the edge
 
Do you really think "they", whoever they are, would deprive us a space to enjoy the weather+ for a moment? I thought weather+ topics were better than dwelling on the daily ups and downs of Crohn's 24/7 for 20+ years. Focusing on something lighthearted and fun each day has been a nice break! Let's hope the powers- that-be will reconsider! 🤷‍♀️ "They" probably would for a fee. Que Sera, que sera!
 
Its a winter day here -22C last night, glad to find everyone here on the upper decks as the stern rises and the water creeps into the boiler rooms below. This new thread reminds me of rearranging the deck chairs on a sinking ship. I hope they can fix the issues on this site, otherwise; farewell friends it was a great run here while it lasted. Its amazing making friends and holding conversations from around the world. Hopefully the lights will stay on for awhile here, and they can pump out the hold.
 
I found this site https://www.meetanostomate.org/ and signed up in case this site does go under.

I've written down the website Buff, just in case, but hope this site doesn't get more fussy amd zap us again. I like the "little rooms with an open door" format here.
Today we're having a sunny day with temp at 61°F now.... at nearly 2pm. I'm still cold though! People are always telling me it's because I don't have enough fat on my body! 🥴
 
Am I slow on the uptake...did y'all know there was a forum app. I noticed it in some obscure spot yesterday while browsing the site... so I downloaded it and it works much more conveniently than going to the website to log on, at least it is for me. I like it.
 
More surgery in my future, the doctor said I have a doozy of a hernia and to go easy on it until surgery, and that the surgery may or may not be complex. Hopefully they will not have to rebuild the stoma. Doctor said there are a lot more patients having issues with parastomal hernias lately for some reason but couldn't say why. An ultrasound for the urinary system as well.
-10C expecting some snow ahead of the next cold front, at least the doctor has said it is okay to cross country ski, as the coming cold weather looks good for it.

I don’t know if he is going to just stitch the area or use mesh, but there are different types of mesh used for hernia surgeries. You may benefit from learning what kind of mesh he will use, and the kinds of mesh used for the procedure in general. Also, some surgeons specialise in hernia surgery, I would get a second opinion from them.

Buff, I hope you can get a surgical appt. soon for the fix. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My weather is sunny and 62 at 2:20pm. It's the lull before the storm though. I think we are in for some freezing, wet weather in a few days. 🤦‍♀️

Thanks Tony,we're good for now.It can only ever be one day at a time but we're doing OK. shopping,walks lots of conversations.He's eating good,sleeping good etc.but memory is iffy.That's not important,I've always been his memory hahaha. It was our 57th anniversary yesterday....don't know where the years have gone
A Happy Anniversary! 💞 💝 (May I call you Carol?). Anyway, congratulations to you and your husband!
 
Another nice day but a bit cooler.We had a walk into town and back but we really should have bused at least one way....Too many aches and pains now for both of us,but we're trying to do the things that we enjoyed before age crept up.....and it's not working.
The weather is going to change to wet and windy next week so maybe we won't feel that we SHOULD make an effort to go out....
 
Its on the mild side and gray, expecting a major drop in temperatures later in the day, and into the weekend we will be into an arctic deep freeze. When the cold arrives I will go ski and see how it goes with the hernia. I prefer skiing in the cold, the skis are easier to work and control when snow is cold, and the exercise makes and keeps me warm.
-5 Gray.
 
I'm getting fed up with this winter sun EVERY day,but here it is again....it's low in the sky at this time of year and difficult to avoid it almost blinding you....but there's worse things in the world to fret about eh? enjoy your weekend friends

Look like a lovely day for you Carol ,St. JAMES park is bathed in sunshine ,
Dull day here 10C but at least it's dry
 
Our weather hasn't changed yet.... we in TX are waiting for Buff to open the gates in Ontario and send front down this way. Not that I'm eager for it to get here.... it will be too cold for me! 🥶🥴!!
It's on its way Patsy, yesterday it went up to the freezing mark, and this morning its -23C. I'll take the cold over the mild stuff anytime. Mild weather can be messy and miserable leading to ice dams on the roof which causes temporary but miserable leaks when water ices up and pushes up under the shingles. Roofers have excuses for it, but I call it lousy workmanship.
I may go for a ski this afternoon, I travel so that the sun is at my back for most of the time, as Carol says that low sun angle can be blinding, more so with the reflection off the snow on the lakes, but it sure gives my face a good tan.
 
Well Buff, I think I can actually understand that roof problem you have with too many freeze/mild weather events in one season. Our problem here is large hail storms or high winds which thankfully doesn't happen that often during the estimated life span of a asphalt shingle roof.

Tonight from midnight to 9am tomorrow, we are under an emergency winter storm warning, high wind, and quick drop in temperature to high teens. Wind chill is the problem. No moisture in this first push. Expected to be very cold for next 5 days. Honestly, we in Texas don't even own the right clothes for that kind of weather! 🤷‍♀️ I'll bundle up, dash to the truck, drive to my destination with heater on full blast, and dash into another warm building! Now.... if the electric GRID goes down.... then I've gotta a problem!🥶🥶😳
Y'all stay warm!!!🥰
