But it seems like you have a good support worker and I'm glad you like her.
It's really good it went as well as it could be. I'm really glad you like her a
lot. Well let's see I asked one of the people in my ham radio group if they
would make the label so I could send my braille writer back and his response
was why don't you ask somebody in your building to do it so now I know not to
ask that person to do anything like that. I'll just take the braille writer to
the UPS store and be done with it. But one of my friends was kind of worried
because he thought that I would fall trying to carry. Because that thing is not
light. I have to carry it there so I can get a box because I don't have any
boxes. But anyway I'll get it done and get it out of here. Anyway the bank work
for that read my credit card read me the wrong numbers on the back. My worker
had to read it and believe it or not she said the print was so small she had to
put her glasses on to read it and we kind a got a giggle out of that. But
anyway at least she did what I needed done so now I have it. Anyway I got to
steal from cure eggs where I can get four boxes of coffee every 12 weeks for
$47 and that's pretty good. And I can change my flavors anytime I want. So I'm
going to use that for a while. Then if I get tired of it I can cancel it. And I
also got the number for Jell-O so I can order the footings that I want. And
that's pretty cool. Hopefully my braille writer I'll come back just like new
and I'll be glad when that happens. And I'll talk to my mother tomorrow and
I'll see what she's up to but right now she's doing pretty good for 90 years
old. But the thing I wish is I would like to see that braille note that flying
blind self. You know the apex. I wish they had a payment plan so that if people
wanted to buy those they could but it doesn't seem like they do when I don't
think that's right but that's just my opinion. I really wish they had something
like that. That would be really cool. But anyway I'm going to go to the Apple
store at some point and have somebody help me put the QVC app on my phone as
well as the McDonald's and Dunkin' Donuts apps. Those will be pretty good if I
want to use then what if I decide not to I can get rid of them. Well OK I
thought in California there wasn't any snow. I thought it was warm all year
round like Florida I didn't know you guys got snow so that's crazy. Maybe in
the mountains I guess but what about where you are when did you get snow or
does it just rain? What is your weather like out there? Just curious does it
get really cold? Is it get down below zero or not just wondered.

I saw an article about that poor truck, Linda. I guess they closed that
whole stretch of highway down so he could get to a safe turn off to get the
truck towed, or fixed anyway. It would indeed be frightening. glad they
brought him to safety.

Oo, Vickie, how horrible and how frightening. I’m sure glad you and Mary
made it through that horrible piece of snowy highway in one piece! I heard
about a poor guy who had one wheel of a truck he had to drive for delivery
off of a road and hanging down a cliff. This would have been in the mountain
area north of the Bay Area during one of the most recent storms at a time mud
slides were happening in the area. Luckily, someone from Cal Trans (the
agency which cleans up mud slides and assists stranded drivers) helped him to
make sure the truck stayed on the road. He said he was never so frightened in
his life. I sure don’t envy drivers during winter storms as conditions can
be so treacherous!

No no, not a rehab teacher. Just a pea on secretary. I worked for the
Business Enterprise Program though, and every year they did a training
program for people who wanted to get into the vending program. So, I was in
charge of talking about several things and they always held the training
beginning January, through March. Right in the heart of winter. One time
Mary Jenkins and I hit an icy spot on I-94 and bounced from left to right,
off snow piles, praying we wouldn’t get hit by one of the nine semi trucks
that were passing by, or crashed on the side of the road. Very frightening.
We were in a mini van.

Vicki,
Were you a rehab teacher at the commission?
As far as the snow goes I wouldn't mind a couple more snow storms so I can
get a couple more snow days.

Oh Connie, don’t worry. You’re getting snow later on, probably about
Monday or Tuesday. smile. I know you miss it soooooo much! Since Kalamazoo
is the snow capital I use to say. Had some scary rides through K Zoo during
my life in Michigan. Both in my early years with mom and dad, traveling from
Benton Harbor to Pontiac, and later in my work years, traveling to present at
the training center in Kalamazoo while working for the Commission. Not my
favorite place to live for sure!

Yikes
That is a lot of snow. The weather has been crazy here too. It is now 14
degrees and tomorrow we are supposed to get into the 40s. Stay safe and warm
in the storm.
Take care.

We're still getting our share of wet weather in Reno. There might be some
flooding for those who live near the rivers and smaller bodies of water.
