Snowing in Texas



Recommended Posts

SNOW!!! That is so nice. I bet you are NICE and COLD!! That shivering will make you lose weight, you know. :laugh That's a good reason to stay in your nice warm, festive house!

I will send a box of warm clothes AFTER Christmas, when it warms up a bit. :D I'm very glad you have snow. I hope we get some later this year, but it doesn't look like it will happen.

Yes, but we see snow if we are lucky 1 day out of the year. Everyone runs around like children here in Dallas. I am at work in Coppell and the snow is beautiful. Not sticking to the streets though so I will be here through the end of the day:angry ...oh well, just nice to look out from my little cubicle and see white everywhere....I'm sure my 30 mile drive home will be lovely. One thing we Texans don't do well is drive in any kind of precipitation. You just need to slow down to 65 when it snows right???

Hey Missy Darcy- It is 22 here with the wind chill factor and it is getting colder as the day goes on! We are supposed to be in the single digits by tomorrow night. I don't have all those nice warm coats, gloves and boots that you have. I have a Harley jacket though, and I wore it to work today :D All I have are the nice hats Teresa and Becky made me. :D:D

I just freeze since surgery, I can't get warm enough. They all laugh at me here, since I am originally from up north. I have a sweater with a shirt under it on and I am still freezing. I have a heater under my desk blowing on my legs. (when I am not up here talking to y'all) Is anyone else cold like this when you use to be warm?

I'll just let you keep this weather up there, I really don't want it here. I'll look at pictures from up there! :D I really don't need to see it or play in it! :D By the way, did you make a snowman while you were out there?????

Kim - I laugh when it rains here and everyone slows down to 30 mph! You would think they are driving on ice. :D I know I better watch out when there is ice, because people here aren't use to driving on it and really don't know how. I usually go to work late to let all those people get off the road before I get on it! :D I was use to driving in all kinds of weather, ice, snow you name it. I don't miss it though, it was one of the reasons I moved here, to get away from all that cold weather.

Kimalicious.. I LOVE it! That's a GREAT name! Much better, just in time for all that glorious snow. I walked this morning when it was still dark - cold and windy but the kind of cold that Darcy would just laugh at. I have very good friends in both San Antonio and Ft. Worth. My Ft. Worth friend already sent me a picture of the pretty Texas snow from this morning. Nice!

I guess my gazelle will be keeping me warm tonight. I know what you mean about staying cold. People make fun of me at work because I wear my winter coat at my desk all day long. They keep it freezing in here. I look like a snowman with a headset on all bundled up in my cubicle. You are not alone in the freezer department...

Wow, Betty, snowing! They say it may even snow here in Houston tonight and tomorrow, but I doubt that it will down my way, since I live so far South. Is the snow actually sticking to the ground?

I highly recommend menopause to those of you who are cold. I only wish that I could share some of my body heat with you.

I think that snow is beeeeaaaauuuutttiiiifffffuuuullll... as long as I don't have to drive in it! I'd much rather play in it! Betty... you are not alone... I have the heat cranked up to 71 degrees in the house as I type. :D I have a dear sweet hubby that is probably half cooked from the high temps! I used to refuse to wear a coat and walked out to the mailbox in bare feet in defiance of the cold... alas... the cold is winning this year. I need to find that perfect place to live... not too cold... not too hot...

Nancy... lol... hand me a slice of that menopause please...my feet are like ice!

Nancy - I am past menopause, and past those hot flashes! Maybe that is why I am so cold all the time, I burned my body up already! :D

The cars here were covered in snow, but the ground is wet and it melted as fast as it fell. You just might get it there, it is so cold here. The wind is high and makes it worse.

Darcy - You can come and live down here, it usually is a great place, hardly any really cold weather till now that is! :D I use to do the same thing go with out a coat much of the time up there. The people in Arizona use to know we were from the north when we went to visit my fatherinlaw, if it was 50 we were out sunning ourselves in our bathing suits. Now, well, I already told you how it is.

I think the snow is beautiful, as long as I don't have to go outside! :D

It's cold for us Southerners, 40, wet, and cooling off as we speak. I get cold easier now too. I guess it's losing that layer of insulation. But I can finally wear those pretty sweaters without feeling like I'm going to "burst into flames." LOL I love snow, to visit and play in it, but I'm glad I don't have to deal with the icy roads (much) and sludgy aftermath.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
