Son made some good chunks of change the last year selling plasma. Said some was as high as 150 a pop and they would do it weekly or may have even been Monday and Friday so 2x/week.

I have track marks from doing that in college haha.

I have given enough, and usually left arm, that I have them there also.

The snow is here.

Keep it. Some rain down here.

Smart pops? We are getting hosed…..

I give/gave blood anyhow, but I do love them checking the AB levels.

You know I'm a fellow donor, and am joshing you, right?

I know. Just kidding also. I still long for that day I even got a piece of cherry pie. Egg salad sandwiches, some chicken and wild rice soup and then the pie. Had to tell the wife I was full and didn’t want supper when I got home.

The one draw lady told me about these places who give homemade cookies or bars. I’m thinking, where did our Methodist ladies go.

What? Saving a fellow human's life isn't thanks enough?

I really want the Lorna Doone cookies, but they stopped offering them years ago. Now I need to be content with Rice Krispie treats. Oh, and a Smart Pops bag for the road.

No Lorna Doones?!



The nerve.

I had never heard of them. Are they like the danish butter cookies?

Midnight at the Oasis was the only song of hers I had ever heard until your last post

Brand New Key

It made my ears bleed...

I love these things, except with peanut butter instead.

Except someone just took the last box I had. Dollar general is the only place I can pick them up.

So, it's really "what you know about who you know, and they know it."

Ex tried to slip the doorman a $20 to get up to the front at a Vegas show. Granted, it was the 80s, but a $20? The doorman took it and seated us at the tables along the back wall of the middle riser.

He always was a cheapazz...

Just saw about a dozen mute swans on the Rock River. Didn't know we had those around here.

Rain coming here.

Edit: add 2 eagles to that.

Furnace making some sounds I don’t care for. Cranked the floor heat in the basement and the HVAC guy said he can fit me in first part of next week.

Unless it gives out then he will do an emergency call thats 2x the price for after hours. Hoping it holds for a bit.

Pretty light stuff so far. I might end up on the north end of it although dat NWS is still saying 7"-12". The worst snow always tracks just north or south of me. South is the major BCC weather magnet effect.


Edit/Update: I've decided to declare a snow nap emergency effect 3:53 p.m.

Similar. Little, square shortbread cookies.
And, they're name brand. When we were growing up, almost nothing in our house was name brand and I was sure we were the only ones like that.

Just enjoyed those myself after donating blood on Wednesday.

First snow storm since college that I don’t have to worry about anything. Let er rip IMO.

 

[BCClone]

What are the snowfall totals then. I’m about 1” or so of snow half hour in from the MN/IA border. Curious what @cmjh10 git and the twin cities folks.
