Hi Nancy,


 RH> On Monday, just as I thought. Doubt we'll have mail today--had about
 RH> 4" of snow yesterday, followed by sleet & freezing rain. It's snowing
 RH> again, predicting another 1-3" before the system moves out tonight.

 NB> I thought nothing was supposed to stop the intrepid mail carriers.. ;)
 NB> Y'all certainly are getting zonked...!  ;)

Lack of sufficient snow removal equipment, ice, etc kept the mail
carriers home. For their own good, too. Only times we went out were
after it started warming up, and we went out on foot. Safer than driving
at that point.

 NB> many  NB>> other people are just waiting for her to retire to try to
 NB> get her  RH>> to do things... ;)

 RH> Right now her big concerns are our parents and her SO's mom who is not
 RH> in good health. I don't know full details but I guess it's a toss up,
 RH> who needs the most attention.

 NB> That makes for a heavy load...  Does the other mom live nearby...?

I'm not sure; I've heard NC mentioned but don't know where.


 NB>  RH>> Nice! I've told Steve that if we ever moved back up to NY
 NB> (virtually  RH>> no chance of that happening, but one never knows),
 NB> I'd want to shop at  RH>> Wegman's. We did get a card from them, came
 NB> with a free bag that I've  RH>> used at Whole Foods and the farmer's
 NB> market from time to time.
 NB>  NB>> One never knows... the card doesn't expire, either...  If you
 NB> happened  NB>> to end up near enough a Wegmans to do your shopping, it
 NB> would still be  NB>> good... :)

 RH> I can also use it at the Wegman's near the Shipps. (G)

 NB> That, too... or any other Wegmans...  ;)

Yes, I've seen one in Williamsport, PA on our trips up thru that area.
Not stopped in it as the timing has been wrong for meals or we've wanted
to make time getting up to NY or down to our friends an hour or so south
of W'port.


 RH> We use my dad's Freshtown card when we're in Margaretville so we save
 RH> money but he gets the bonus there.

 NB> Similar story when I shop at the Price Chopper in Canton... I use my
 NB> son's card from when he was living up there for a while... he gets the
 NB> benefits other than price savings...  :)  Haven't yet bothered to get
 NB> my own card for this store... I had one for the store it replaced...

One less to keep track of, but now Steve has put all of them on Key Ring
(on the smart phone). I may put my WF public library one on my physical
key ring; it was how the lady that found my lost keys was able to track
us down.

 NB>  NB>> I don't think I've ever actually eaten in a TGIF, but I have
 NB> bought  NB>> their fried green beans, frozen, at BJ's... they were
 NB> surprisingly  NB>> pretty decent...  :)

 RH> YMMV, to us, it's not a place worth visiting again unless there's no
 RH> other choice.

 NB> I might buy the frozen package again... but I'm not in any hurry to
 NB> visit the restaurant itself, although we have one conveniently here.
 NB> I think it would take someone else dragging me there... especially
 NB> after stories I've heard...  :)

Given a choice, I'd go with Door #2. (G)
