Merry Christmas!

[MJZiggy]

No snow here. Just an occasional rain shower. (though we had a helluva spectacular water main break yesterday--River Road is now aptly named)

I'm just driving up to Baltimore to spend Christmas with the former in-laws and some ex family.

Be safe, be careful, and I hope you get great memories this year.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Happy Ramadan, etc., etc.

We are just staying home and enjoying the rare 20" snowfall here. Family outings to in-laws in Vancouver, WA and the eastern Portland area have been cancelled due to snow and ice.

The snow removal equipment and know-how is downright pitiful out here. Yesterday, I traveled the 30 mile I-5 stretch between Salem and Portland. Despite being 3 lanes one way, it took me 3 and 1/2 hours!

It makes me appreciate how resourceful the snow removal personnel are in Wisconsin!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Put the chains on OPF and go for it. What happened to that Oregon trail spirit?

I have had chains on the past two days! I am confident in my ability to drive in the snow. What truly concerns me are the native-born Oregonians who have no idea how to drive in winter weather!

I hear ya OPF....we have some folks up here who still haven't figured it out either.

Merry Christmas (and happy Hanukkah to BallHawk).
We are always here in Augusta, Maine for Christmas; our choir at St. Mark's Episcopal needs us! We'll have Christmas dinner here, then head to Connecticut for my wife's family's annual Christmas party. Then, on the 2nd--our 10th anniversary!--we fly to Madison to see my parents (now married 63 years!), family and friends back home.

Wow, 63 years! That's awesome Badger. My parents made 65 years. Unheard of these days.

Lots of family celebrations, sounds like a wonderful Holiday for your family...Enjoy!!

Thanks--65 years is very impressive indeed, too. My in-laws get to 50 next year.

Thanks, BIM. I can see my Jewish humor in the Brewers Forum caught your attention.

Merry Christmas, everybody.

Merry Christmas everyone, and Happy Holidays to everyone..

Hopefully skin doesn't get bored reading this thread, and resort to "spooning" himself again

Spent Christmas eve at the in-laws (big Italian festivities, lots of different fish!)

Heading to my folks tomorrow (they have 58 years in the books!)

Almost 18 inches of snow last weekend, now over an inch of rain today / tonight! (sorry skin, don't mean to bore you)

[Badgerinmaine]

Props to your folks, hurleyfan!

Merry Christmas everyone !!

Hopefully this is my last year of having a white Christmas LOL. Those that know me, know I'm in the process of picking up and moving south. A white Christmas is fine, but a white Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter are too much to bear

I hope you all have a great day with your families and if you are traveling, please be safe.

Moving south to avoid the snow and cold? Geez, GBRulz, you must be getting old!

Yeah, yeah, I know. At my age, I should not be "casting the first bottle of Geritol!"

Rather than moving south, have you considered the Pacific Northwest? It is pretty mild out here. Sure it rains a lot but you'll get used to the mold growing under your fingernails and toenails in no time.

My nephew lives in a suburb of Seattle. There is no way that I could deal with all of the rain. I have to say though, that he absolutely loves living out there though. Him and his fiance are very active with hiking, rock climbing, snowboarding and photography, so it's perfect for them. For me? I want warm weather, sunshine and the ocean

I am on the downside to 40 now, ya know...LOL

I got a 1L glass beer boot like this:



You can get almost three bottles of beer in that mofo.
