Yes. That would be a consideration but for the fact that I am allergic to cats. And it become worse when I was constantly visiting people with cats. So the option of ever having a full time cat I fear is out. [:(]
How sad.[:(]

Nah. No road trips. To dark. To cold. To expensive.
Just before this isolation thingie begun there was a café that had cats on their staff. And there you could borrow a cat to cuddle with. If the cat was so inclined, of course. Wouldn't mind having a cat pestering me right about now.
Go to a shelter and pick out a kitten ��....GP

There is a solutions or two . . .
Either use a medicine to help you or . . .
Talk to your medical provider about desensitizing shots. They will give you small injections of something that you are allergic to and your body will
slowly learn that it is not actually bad. Then the allergic reaction lessens to be bearable or goes away completely.
What you are actually allergic to is not the cat per se, but a protein in the saliva. But since cats groom themselves constantly because it
feels good. So that protein is on the hair which flies around. I supposed that it could be reduced if you
bathe a cat with water but you might need to
wear a suit of armour to protect yourself.

I was allergic to cats as a child but I grew out of it. Now I have 2 cats in the house....GP

Looking at up to a quarter of an inch of ice accumulation overnight tonight into tomorrow morning. Glad we don't have to go out for anything! [X(]
Shouldn't this be on the Grumpy Geezer thread? Of course, I guess that it has to be
warm enough for the falling water to start out a liquid . . . [;)]
Looks like we may be fortunate. It's cold and there is some freezing, but the amount of rain has been less than expected. No problems in my area, but a little to the north of us is a different story.

I tried to post a photo of them, but the forum doesn’t handle the file type.
Change the photo to .jpg and you should be able to post it.
The photos are on my iPad, I can’t find how to change the format.[&:][&:]

Gee Mike. I wish I knew this. I could have saved you a bundle designing your house. Been doing it for 34 years.

The second was taken on 1/20/21 with the front part cleared and graded, and the footprint of the house staked out. Just need all the rain to stop for a while now.

Good afternoon all. Been quite busy with a cancer issue since early October. Thus taking it easy. Still doing work for an architect. Then I go downstairs and relax. Hopefully this issue will resolved by early to mid April.

Hopefully things will work out well for you. Keep up a positive attitude, kill it with your
mind.
At least you are warming up a little.

I went to another town for errands. I did the first one, then I walked about 6 blocs to a gas station that has very good coffee. Then I went to a grocery store for more errand, when I was done I called a bus. I got a cashier who was stocking shelves to laugh when I told her to put the M M candies upside down so people will think that they are Weight Watchers. Then I called for a bus ride to another store. There are regular routes as well as dial a ride busing in that town.
Did you know that the bus driver did not complain when I asked him to dispose of a Long John.* At first he though that I wanted him to throw it away but I said only do that if he did not want to eat it. He said that he would wait until he could enjoy it all at once.
*Long Jong = rectangular fried raised bakery item, as in raised doughnut. This one was not filled with anything but it did have a maple frosting with chopped walnuts on top . . . [:D]

Already did. A couple of procedures to go. I hate those. But should be gone by early April.
Piece of cake.
Going feel like spring from -27F to 36F.[8D]
