Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Pink And a few days ago we were colder here in Texas than either of you....Oh, I long for the days of South Florida when a day it didn't hit 70 was considered a cold snap. Some years you'd not need heat and some years you might turn it on for a few hours or even a day. lol > > > From: Barbara McD bamny@... > Subject: Beth/snow > To: breathe-support > Date: Friday, January 29, 2010, 6:06 PM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hey Beth - are you getting snow?

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Pink I got one of the cold masks too from icanbreathe. I'll be taking coats, sweaters, scarf, heavy hat. No boots-don't have any. And can't find my gloves but they're something easy to pick up along the way. Worse aspect of traveling in the cold is when you need to fill up with gas. Normally, I let it run pretty low and then just fill it. In the cold I'm more inclined to make sure at least I'm doing it in the warmer time of the day. This is another one of my obvious post-retirement trips as I always had to plan every detail in the past but this trip I don't know where and when outside of one day of appointments. I have a general plan. I don't even know for sure where I'll be when I need to refill my reservoir but have the various offices located and will call when I figure it out. > > > > Hey Beth - are you getting snow?

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 The last two years I've had 3 feet of snow on the ground and on my roof. This year there has been practically nothing and they aren't expecting anything but a few snow showers.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Barbara No mountains for me...especially since you threw rocks on the roads. Normally I would come back through the mountains and then on through Tennessee. Guess if I wanted mountains could go the City route but I think this time of the year I'll stick to the more southern and less mountainess paths. I've driven through the NC mountains from Chattanooga back to Greensboro during a very very bad ice and snow storm and it wasn't fun. > > > > Hey Beth - are you getting snow?

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Hi Barb, I actually just got home. My sister and I along with a friend went out for dinner and then to see Mama Mia at the Durham Performing Arts Center. It was a wonderful fun evening, though the snow added an element of anxiety we managed to get home fine. It is snowing now with about 3 inches or so on the ground. They are saying we'll get 8-12 inches....we'll see. It's still snowing up in Boone, I think they're supposed to get 14 or 15 inches. Yikes. This winter just won't quit. Stay warm and safe and lets just hope the power stays on!

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 MB - Wow - that was brave of you. Once I hear "snow", I get inside and stay there. But I'm sure you did not want to miss "Mama Mia" - that would be a tough choice to make. Here we now have 8 inches of snow on the ground and air temp is 32 degrees. A light rain is falling, forming a crust on the snow. Sigh. It ain't over yet!

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Hey Barb, It's currently sleeting here and we've got about 7 or 8 inches of snow on the ground. It's pretty, just don't make me go out in it. (Let's not even discuss my dog walking adventure this morning. It wasn't pretty) The show was really great. Abba was HUGE when I was in high school so it brought back tons of memories for the three of us. (I hadn't seen the movie) We've had the tickets for over a month so short of the show being cancelled we were going. The theater is downtown in Durham, maybe 5 or 6 miles away. We were home before the roads got too bad. Stay warm and snug. I don't anticipate being able to go much of anywhere till later tomorrow at the earliest.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 As a newcomer, I read a lot of chit chat that has nothing to do with IPF. Is there a way to find specific topics of discussion re the disease? I took part in a drug study thru s-Hopkins using the drug Thalidomide. It controls the cough in many of us.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Best thing is to just fire away with your questions. As to searching for topics, you can try the yahoo search on the forum messages page but it's not in good working order right now so gives you on partials and not the most recent archives.
