Sometimes I forget just how connected weath...@Beate<br />Sometimes I forget just how connected weather can be in seemingly far away places. It is overwhelmingly sad. <br /><br />@Ann<br />I suppose it is for the best-I'm afraid of doctors anyway ;)<br /><br />@Bibi<br />I'll probably ignore it like everything else! <br /><br />@Vix<br />I'm sure as soon as he can drive, Danny won't want anything to do with me! That's typical, but not sure I'm ready for it. He's off to a summer programme at the University of Nebraska this summer and as I homeschooled him, never had the experience of dropping him at the school gate on the first day and falling apart. I'm sure I will lose my shit when I drop him off this summer :)<br /><br />@Mrs. Rat<br />Thank you. It was an interesting class, and if I can provide valuable information to the weather service, I'm happy to do it. The tornado that hit us in 2008 was called in by a storm spotter as it didn't show on radar. Our small town was hit hard, but the sirens went off in time and no one was killed. It only seems fair to prepare to do the same for someone else.<br /><br />@Ratnamurti<br />Thank you!<br /><br />@Mim<br />Yep. Having eyes on the ground is helpful to the weather service as radar can't detect everything. It is literally calling in a report-basic, but gets the job done. As so many government agencies are having funding cut, the more help they can get, the better. <br /><br />Medical debt is a common reason for bankruptcy in the US. As healthcare is tied to jobs, many people with terminal illnesses are stuck literally working until the dsay they die. It is horriblke.<br /><br />@Senora Allnut<br />I wonder if it is an American thing to have food-specific dishes? I also have a pineapple shaped plate, an avocado bowl, and a cheese plate shaped like a wedge of cheese...oh, and a sour cream dish shaped like a baked potato!<br /><br />@Beth<br />I don't have my license yet. I studied, but need to take the exam. Now I am ready to finally finish it next time they have the test locally. In the meantime, we just call the local weather service with reports (I never thought I would have the weather service on speed dial, but life takes us interesting places). <br /><br />I much prefer a platform or wedge to stilettos!

Love the birds print (don't they look like flamingos?).

It must be really handy having so many people around the state watching for extreme weather. <br /><br />We're so lucky with our healthcare system. Bits of it are pretty poor (eg mental health services), but it's there and it's free.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-29985742670656363262019-04-08T20:19:08.701-07:002019-04-08T20:19:08.701-07:00love your sweater and bag!!!love your sweater and bag!!!ratnamurtihttp://you-areunique.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-91092641266922062112019-04-08T08:26:01.020-07:002019-04-08T08:26:01.020-07:00Very impressed by the storm-spotting and hot-cross...Very impressed by the storm-spotting and hot-cross buns. Also impressed by the 'wildman' outfit---maybe the only brand that could beat it would be 'wildwoman.' Although my favorite old brand I've seen at the thrift store is 'Hot Line,' complete with a little rotary phone logo.

A girlfriend ...Bravo on the storm spotter training!<br />A girlfriend on mine (of our age too) who runs described a similar cardiac issue, she paid the price of a car getting it seen too & the result was - nothing? So there's that.<br />What a true 70s look that is with the acrylic sweater, macrame bag, and faux denim skirt! Love the 50s Wildman dress, those cork metallics wedgies are AMAZEBALLS! <br />On my resemblance to Eva Gabor & Barbara Eden - Why thank you Dah-link, I have noticed that as my brows have thinned & now I MUST pencil them in I'm rocking an even more 50s-60s glam look. If I slap on a red lippy & strip lashes it'd probably be complete!Bibi Maizoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383381158640915162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-31273770667726323112019-04-07T11:18:05.706-07:002019-04-07T11:18:05.706-07:00Well done, you two!

and because you...trained storm spotters! well done!<br />and because you mentioned the USA - since a few years a slightly warmed up atlantic has started to built up the hurricans much more up north - which makes them turning to europe instead to the caribbean see. thats the reason for our - never seen before - heavy winter storms since 2015.....(german TV can be very educational ;-D) and it will get worst of cause.<br /><br />in the meanwhile i distract myself with your fab outfits! i´m over the moon about dotted dress with short jacket and amber-like jewelry....the blue sweater is very chic on you in that combo....and the last look is so much 2000.....genius!<br />your baking looks & sounds very yummy <3<br />xxxxxbahnwärterinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02032478343344432338noreply@blogger.com
