Got woke up early today, power went off and felt like I was suffocating because my CPAP machine also went off, so I had my coffee and woke up early! Anyone have "ice storm" stories ?

Yup, I thought I was smothering and my fan turned off so I got warm, I dunno why my tablet does that, I set it to invisible when I signed out last night, and the battery in my cable router don't last too long to keep me online *shrugs* SB.

The snow started here yesterday around 1:30pm, we had a little over two inches when I went to bed around 11:30pm, it was still snowing. The temps went up over night and the snow changed to freezing rain, and then changed to all rain. All the snow and ice here was melted completely by 10:00am. I am glad to because I'm working 12:30pm-5:30pm. After work, I am going to visit Duncan! ^.^

Yeah the temps here are also up around 40 and stuff is rapidly melting. It's great to hear from you, how is Duncan doing. Are you guys going to be at AC this year as it will be my last one, it's just getting too big and to expensive for me. Give him my best and please give him a hug fur me too. SB.

Duncan does the best he can day to day. He is doing okay at present. My last year at Anthrocon was 2004, and I don't miss it in the least. I don't like the super sized conventions, I prefer the smaller ones. Duncan gave Anthrocon one last try in 2013 and that was his last one. AC is simply too big, too expensive, and has too many silly rules making it difficult for anyone to enjoy themselves there.

Yeah I understand. I remember when he gave me a balloon at AC 13, I'm not sure what musical instrument it was, I still have it as I felt special to get it from him. If I'm still in PA in 17 I am thinking about trying Furthemore but have been toying with the idea of moving to Florida, Jacksonville area .... that's a long time working on that though. Your both very special people and I feel very fortunate that you are my online friends. *gives you both a hug*. SB.

I hear ya bud, I have thought about FL for a few years now, but circumstances have kept me from making the leap .... I would have to know where I would be living, I think I would just L-O-V-E it down there and another friend has been trying to get me to come down too. SB.

If only it were that easy ... and it's a coincidence that you live in Jacksonville, .... waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 1985 I had a mate in Atlanta and we remained friends when we split up, he lives in Jacksonville with his husband, yes they are legally married. They are very nice men. I own my home and my parents bent over backwards to get it for me, so I would probably be disowned, but I have been seriously thinking about getting out of where I am now! SB.

hehe Jacksonville is still growing on me. I miss hawaii beaches, but some home sickness is bound to happen. Its nice enough here, but I miss clear coral reefs and the ko'olau mountain range. Glad to hear you remained friends with your ex, I always try. Is he a furry? See, you can move here and we all go out to dinner together^^

OP
No he is not furry, I'm not sure what he really thinks of furry, he didn't give me any kind of idea either way. I couldn't live in the city anyway, I have to be out .... at least in the burbs, I dun like all that hustle and bustle of the shity ... oops ... city *chuckles* I'm a retired graymuzzle so I dun have to be in all that rat race. I bet you miss all the beauty of Hawaii .... something very powerful must have made you move. SB.

eeeewww you dated a nonfurry, for shame hehe. Yeah I prefer the outskirts myself. Back home I stared clear of honolulu. I left to finish up my nursing degree out here. I got accepted to an accelerated program and had to jump at it. *wagwags*

OP
Yeah that was back in 1985, I dun think "furry" was even around back then .... but, I've been toying around about moving, and asked him some questions about FL, like housing for graymuzzles at a sliding scale, how do they do car plates (flat rate or according to the value) what kind of medical benny's and the fact that I do have a 65 pound Border collie/Lab mix dog .... the normal stuff. Congrats on the accelerated nursing program, I know you will do well ! SB.
