Say "Merry Christmas" and you risk offending one of the 8% of non-Christians who object.
Say "Happy Holidays" and Christians become offended because, "It's CHRISTMAS ! "
Say Happy Hanukkah or Happy Kwanzaa and risk being accused of cultural appropriation unless you are Jewish, black or both.
Say Happy Yule or Happy Saturnalia and no one knows what you are talking about.
You can't even say Happy New Year because for some cultures the year doesn't begin on January 1.
So whatever you are celebrating, however you are celebrating it have a happy and good one! :santa:
Merry Christmas to all !
Merry Christmas Everyone.

Merry Christmas and best of health to all.
Merry Christmas everyone, hope all of you have a chance to enjoy and reflect over the holidays
Supposed to be messy out there on the rds starting Friday and continuing over the weekend.
Stay safe give yourself plenty of time and maybe prepare for an alternative cooking method in case the power is distributed by the fierce winds.
Thinking of a turkey this year what's on the menu for your dinner plans. ?
We just had a big prime rib dinner last week so I dout the family wants another so soon lol..
Drive safe everyone

Not a Merry Christmas for Vancouver Island. My brother lives there and they have had 25 +- cms. of snow and -20 degrees. He says Vancouverites are going crazy , but he said that as he is an Ontario boy no problem for him .:) Sad for folks trying to get home for Christmas as the Vancouver airport is almost shut down.
He will probably go really crazy when he gets his heating bill.Quote:

Being in the hospital or morgue are two of them.
I'm working away from home and don't have much choice but to drive, hoping to get an early start before it gets really bad.
Merry Christmas everyone!
No turkey this year, prices are nuts and we do not like the greaseball kind. Making a beef and pork with potatoes, onion and garlic tourtiere. It's not the ground meat kind, it's the one with meat chunks.Quote:

Having enjoyed the original ice storm and no power for 3 weeks I'm ready for this one.
I have enough firewood for 6 years I can cook no problem without electricity and have 200 litres of fuel on hand for my generator.
Here's hoping.
Just a friendly reminder. The weatherman gets paid whether he’s right or wrong. Honestly it’s a great job, lol. Anyways, be careful if you’re travelling on the remote chance they get it right this time.
The problem is its lake effect snows 1000ft could make a difference. . Was out this afternoon and the areas kept changing for snow amounts. I dont think they will be well organized so less snow over a larger area.Quote:

Prime rib is on sale today and tomorrow for 6.88 a pound ( edit zehers lol not independent), we got some a few weeks ago at 8.88 a pound . Getting a few more for the freezer. Probably won't go on sale again till February.

No but I treat it with sea foam a fuel stabilizer and it is rotated every 6 months. But I do have an issue with the genny, it's not running 100%, when I tested it back in Sept I had to keep the choke 25 % on so carb issue. It will be fine for now but I really need to fix it as I consider it probably one of my most essential tools that must run when required and it's my fault and no issue with money just pure laziness (Occasionally I do maker a mistake.)
I would always help you and your partner out Sharon, you have always been a good person on here.Quote:

Probably about 10-15 cm here in Russell over Dec 22 & 23 , really hard to tell as there are big drifts everywhere and probably nothing in the fields. I had drifts 5 ft high in my driveway.
First time for that.
Didn't expect the snow to be 3 ft over the blower.
Then the rain froze along the road and when the plow came by it all froze and on top of that had to do the neighbours drive way.
I think in total I cleared about 3000 sq ft.
Yeah I'm not touching our Laneway this time the weather will melt it late next week lol.Quote:
