I'm sorry, SK! It's nothing against you, I promise!!
I'm sure you're not alone, there's lots of people who don't like winter so much. I love @SarahsKnight response though it makes good light of the situation. I used to hate winter also because I have to plow snow, but then one winter it clicked in my head that I should embrace it and have fun. So at the end of a shift, I went home and built a snowman and took a picture posing with it. That was more than 10 years ago and I have found more activities in the winter to have fun with. Last winter I found out about balloons and making ice formations with color dye. That was so fun and I plan to make it again this year.I'm sorry, SK! It's nothing against you, I promise!! It is just what was on my mind at the time... that I really don't like this season very much, that's all!
When I first moved up north from Texas, snow was amazing! In all of my 13 years at the time, it had never snowed where I lived in Texas. We might've gotten a freeze or an icing a time or two, but never measurable snow. So, those first few here, I was memorized!I'm sure you're not alone, there's lots of people who don't like winter so much. I love @SarahsKnight response though it makes good light of the situation.

Honestly, that's a common problem that I don't see a good solution for. People say "wait to become more established" but that's not really a solution. It's kicking the can 5 years down the road, and money doesn't solve his real problem with women.He's one county over and 29 years old. I let him know, to be clear that I will not go on a date with him and that I don't have interest in him. He said he understands. I think he just needs guidance, because he's tired of so many girls his age turning him down and his last relationship the girl using him.
Prayers are appreciated, I wish I could refer him to someone but he definitely needs a good godly mentor in his life. He's building his house on his parents property right now.. which is I think a good move for his independence.
I agree. I think one of his biggest issues is communication. A text he shared with me from a woman sometime ago basically boiled down to that she didn't see him having many passions. Nothing that separated him from the other suitors she had. She ended up with somebody else and he was really hurt. His texting is very awkward too, and sounds like he has a little bit of an intellectual disability. But talking on the phone with him, it's not like that.Honestly, that's a common problem that I don't see a good solution for.

Hey, the Christmas lights aren't supposed to come down until Easter!Not as productive as I would like but it was a good Saturday to not have to get called in for snow plowing. An ice storm is coming in tonight, but I put a snow vacation request in for this weekend and got approved.
Christmas lights are at least off the bushes and outside and sitting in the garage to eventually be stored away in the basement. A neighbor whose son came over to cut a tree for free and I gave cookies and some other stuff to dropped off the same containers with more cookies for me.
And it's been interesting to see the responses from the people I had let know that I was not interested in. I think I'm going to save 50% don't respond at all and just look at the my profile. One person said why even respond at all. I think I'm going to have to call the dating app since they have not responded and I've had technical difficulties after unblocking as many as I could. One guy 10 years younger than me that is a theologian looked at my profile who I had blocked some time ago. We had exchanged text messages but he just dropped the ball and never went through with setting things up, I think it's because he was in the middle of a move from Chicago to the middle of Michigan. I can't see his messages and it also makes me wonder if there's more people before August of last year that can see my profile now but the messages are gone. Which means I have no way of seeing if the guy I went on dates with last May is going to be able to see my profile.
Going to finish up the rest of my workout with strength training, it was a hard run on snow and ice for 20 minutes. Then maybe I'll move on to the Christmas tree and getting the ornaments off. Definitely need to put the nativity scene away. Both of these take up a lot of space.
You are too kind to be conscientious of that, Chelsea. I assure you I wasn't being too serious. ^-^
if I know it isn't threat level midnight,
