Visit the drugstore first. As always ….

Good afternoon John. I generally should but rarely do take the “read more before you post”, advice from the well versed forum members. For instance don’t ask i m b y questions and more. Be respectful to the pro Mets and harassed moderators and fellow forum members .. all easier said. I have found it a lot more fun to listen to the member opinions backed by various model opinions to be both educational and entertaining. I’ve actually learned a few things, very few, but still real. As you read you will feel the passion and strengths of the forum membership. Again my favorite. I look forward to the Hot topic red tag which usually appears when computer projections start having fun with us. Finally never take a weenie comment personally. Im sure all the givers have also been on the receiving end. It’s a badge of initiation so in your case well done along with your ‘like’ and ‘laughter’ comments. I prefer the weenie emoji rather than several other, less flattering that could have been used. Stay well, enjoy reading and ‘still’, never hesitate to comment when you feel the need. As always …

Good morning Unc. Thank you for the video. I must confess what I enjoyed most was the sounds of family in the background. That certainly warmed me. As always ….

Good morning Unc. -15, 1934 … what amazing conditions allowed for such a drop? Either UHI was a non factor then or we missed -20 because of it. I remember my Dad telling me how, waiting for the 3rd Ave streetcar he watched the temperature dropping on a visible thermometer. He was 18 at the time. He told me he was coming home from work later going to school. The story was related to me because I was complaining about far less harsh conditions only ‘ just’ going back and forth from school. Lesson learned, mouth shut. As always ….

Good morning Rjay. I know the feeling. As always …..

Good evening S19. Vincenza, my partner died in my arms, just short of our 45th anniversary. All we had, during the two year battle, was hope. I now cling to it alone and pray your final sentence comes true. Stay well and firm in your position/beliefs. As always …

Good evening Anthony. I always felt the same way and would play carols as I was taking it down. My lost love knew how I felt but wanted the house in order and the children, including me, settled and focused. Vincenza bought the sign in the top memory room photo. As was her way, without a word, it just appeared. It makes me feel better, at holidays end, even to this day. The second photo is the little tree we enjoyed for our last Christmas together. She passed 31 days into the new year and I eventually moved it to our memory room. I keep it up and lit all year it blinks on and off, very slowly. Depressing, yes but forever no. Your future, Anthony, is bright and not alone. I keep my little tree up because it is all I have for a final Christmas memory and will keep it with me. Stay well and next when you look at your love remember the sign. “In the meadow we can build a snowman”. As always …..

Good afternoon Irish. Sometimes, with difficulty, I look back at the path I’ve taken seemingly without choice. Being alone, as my decline accelerates, it seems only with the interaction of some others, such as those on this forum, to help me remain alert and thinking. I think about paths such as the one you and others presently navigate. Looking at them keeps me from the danger of becoming self absorbed. I still will continue to believe in light and happy endings. Irish, all the positive energy I can generate I send to your mother and your entire family. Stay well, my friend. The world we woke to today was one of frozen beauty. Though it won’t last, it’s lesson will. We will all find peace. As always ….

Good morning all. Moderate snow, through the bars, in Red Hook/Cobble Hill. As always ….

Good eveningELI, 72b. Only because the cm metric measurement equivalent was mistaken for inches. As always …

God afternoon FHW. When forky becomes serious I generally pause and go on alert status. As always ….

Good morning all. Now that the track is set, the qpf projection should prove interesting. As always ….

Good evening, Anthony. This cold season it seems only two letters of the ‘pray for’ word in your avatar, have relevance. As always …

Good morning WxW007. My gentle hope is that you and your family be blessed by kind memory and be embraced by peace. As always ……

Good morning D S, T H M. I sensed a person in pain with a need for contention when I, at one time, received a somewhat less than polite response. I just replied; I pray you eventually find peace and never heard again. As always …

Good morning Liberty. From my very limited understanding and the simplified, foe me, explanations of kind board members, I believe it was an atmospheric Christmas present from the 50th state to the 49th. As always …

Good morning Will. If the first sentence was physically true the second would become a self fulfilled prophecy. May you remain ‘Will’ and never change in the coming year. As always…..

Avatars are real? As always……

Good morning C W. Damn, I have to work on my gullibility. I actually looked it up hoping they had a virility resort. As always ……

Good morning SS 14. I just took this photo. Some have never stopped blooming. As always ….

Good morning Anthony. When our wishes/dreams become intense we may even become nostalgic about the future. As always ……

As a guest yes. I go back so far that I remember an upset, very young, DT going after some one who said that he (DT) said uncomplimentary things about JB. JB would often read the forum pages and would comment on them ( especially the negatives ) in his ‘then’ free weather page. Near the end before that forums dissolution, sans moderation, it could have been called the age of vipers. As always ….

Good morning Will. I’m sure you could pen quite a tome describing weather forum post drama. I remember frequenting the north eastern site as a guest in the late nineties. A young DT was one of the contentious post contributors. Judging from the “extreme” give and take I’m not even sure if moderators were even present at that time. By todays standards and my recollection, it was the wild west of forum experiences. Stay well and I pray I’m still here when/if you announce 30. As always …

Good evening forky. I had Look it up. I wish his eyes had been open. The face is beautiful. The brief descriptions I read stated that the males often stay close to the breeding grounds as the females migrate. I sometimes wonder why we pursue artificial beauty to stimulate the senses when there is so much of the natural very close to us. As always …..
