FROZE


 The house, nor  i are frozen.  But it is pretty darn cold!! Right now it is 28... yes, i know there are other places much colder.... this is here... and it is cold....
A really, really nice neighbor used a leaf blower and blew snow off my sidewalk this morning,, i yelled a THANX!!!! I had been out to get the paper and that is all i was going to do for awhile, until it warmed???? some or at least read the paper.... had a coffee... u know all of life's little pleasures in a slow and easy manner 
There is usually NOT anything fast about me in the morning, except for letting dogs out then in right away, they do not linger long out there...

Our flag still waves
 This is the neighbor's rain gutter chain, looks like it filled up and then just up and froze!!!!It was pretty in the sun but could not catch that for whatever reason.  and YES the sun did come out
Went to grocery store
Brian went and helped a friend from where he plays Magic, one of the kids mother could not split her wood, so Brian went over and did a weeks worth for her.... that was a kind thing to do...

Friend Tanya is stuck at her house in Metolius, they have a LOOOOONNG farm driveway and the snow really drifted over there, was windy too, gets really windy in Jefferson County (where Metolius is) about 40 miles away, north.....can't get the tractor started to plow and her car won't get over the drifts...


This little bird house is what it is like here, all frozen....
Brian off work again last week only worked 5 hours, week b4 he got in 40 and now he was just called and no work tomorrow.... just too FROZEN... hard to dig ditches to lay pipe...
AND..... hahaha i have his unemployment so messed up ... one would ask why he does not do it himself????  huh???? and after spending my life working there one would think i would be able to do such an easy claim... really.... well things have changed...... and u no longer can call and ask someone or explain simply what happened... and everything is done by phone(and OMG the phone, you can be on hold for hours n hours, there is no answering their phone and u have to call within like the 1st 10 minutes of them opening the lines to leave a message and then it takes a day or more for them to get back to you) or computer, can't even go into an office. there is zilch customer service.. cant even tell you how many meetings and seminars we had to go to the perfect our customer service... and they just no, longer. care. No wonder their stats are so good, people just give up and stop claiming or get denied and stop claiming and then bingo one less and it can be said they went to work and the ui rate lowers...
seen it before, people would draw out the whole thing, go thru all of the extensions and everything, and still not be to work, BUT they were no longer claiming not getting paid soooooo ui rate goes down

i love this little house, got it for $10 at an estate sale...

Oh, a friend is having a pampered chef party and i am going, have not been to one of those in 8 years and they have such good kitchen things.. already have their garlic press and the can opener is the bomb!!!! Have baking sheets, never burn a cookie, ever.....
I can slice n dice n chop with the best of them....

Take Care all and God Bless... oh and stay warm
