Coffee anyone ?

I guess we lucked out and @promiseacres and @Baymule got our snow It was more like 3" at 5 AM and was sleeting. Pretty much stopped doing anything by 7.

I'm glad to see Bay and Palomino are on, lets us know they haven't been buried.

My mom in Houston finally lost power last night.... her house is down in the 40s.

She will be fine though... she has oodles of friends and family there.

Up here in Alaska we are in the 20s, tiny bit more snow... maybe an inch or two

The outage website says 4.2M still out of power in TX

This one is good too.

Because SO OFTEN, a website will tout free shipping, for all of US, you get everything in your cart... and your $50 dollars of stuff suddenly has a $120 shipping charge!

No joke... All. The. Time.

Yep, free shipping in the CONTINENTAL USA.

Some places down here don't ship to Canada ... AT ALL. DD1 has a friend that wanted some stuff (clothes I guess), it got shipped to our house and it cost $42 to ship it to New Brunswick. Then DD1 needed a new charger for her Razer laptop (trouble that thing is). Not only did it cost me $38 to ship it to her there is like a 50% import tax on electronics! I didn't even know what it cost so I said $50 (probably low) so that was another $24 I had to pay online with a CC, so of course a small bank charge for that too.

Buried no, except for snow over the top of boots, but playing beat the clock between blackouts for sure!

Sometimes they say that... but then in super tiny print is *excludes Alaska.

Good grief!

Could you not buy from a Canada based place and have them ship to her?

Or is that charger only found in the US?

We are on an electric co-op and they take good care of their customers.
@Palomino im sorry your water is frozen.
