Thank you @qurator and @ewkaw, I appreciate the support!

Happy New Year to you and yours... sorry to hear Covid struck again. My wife and I are also welcoming 2022 with a couple of pretty severe colds, pretty sure it's not Covid, though... had that, too, in

Thanks @phoenixwren, and Happy New Year to you! And feel free to rant... Most people don't really "get" what they are dealing with; as you said, this is not a thing that's just going to go away

Thank you @micky-teflon, and a Happy New Year to you, as well.

I can appreciate that! Our 15-20 degrees isn't that cold by Midwest standards, but when you're not used to it, it does feel somewhat achy.

Thanks @brumest, I appreciate the support!

Thanks @joalvarez, and a Happy New Year to you, as well!

Thanks @whatsup! We pretty much have been hibernating for the past week; this Arctic blast we've been having is just not something we're used to, here on the coast. It can leave now, for all I care! Hope

The grades and curves of our roads suggest that "winter weather" was not part of the planning! We have quiet a few Northeast "transplants" in our neighborhood, and they all pretty much

It's pretty to look at, for sure, but after a week of this I'm about ready for something a little warmer again!

It's beautiful to look at, and most of the time when it snows here it all melts within 24 hours or so. This has been with us for a week now, and it has been "topped off" a few days. Enjoy your

It definitely does make everything look very beautiful; and it's lvoely, as long as I don't have to go anywhere!

Merry Christmas Denise! Hope you have a wonderful and warm day!

That's actually a really good idea @fredrikaa! I've got a number of account vouchers just sitting there, and I could give one (with some Hive) to all the people I know on Farcebook who keep telling me

Thanks @monica-ene, appreciate you taking the time to comment! I wise person once pointed out that there are places for all of us... some of us find joy in playing the music, and some of us find joy in

Hi @snook, thanks for stopping by, and for the kind words! And thanks for digging up those old clips with @sykochica, different times, back then! There are a lot of people I miss, but it also makes me

Based on the initial lack of interest, I suspect people using a venue like Hive are probably too embedded in virtual space to be interested in something that requires physical engagement. As I said, I

This is also a growth area for me. Ironically, I was born into a pretty well-off family, but I always had the specter (held) over my head that it can all be gone in a moment. When my parents divorced and
