Oooof that’s cold! It’s 46F here right now, perfect temp if you ask me ^0^

it sure is, i was amazed the buses were running

Do they typically cancel school when it’s that cold?

if the buses don't start.. i think the limit is -35

Oh damn lol So it was almost at that limit then. Sucks it’s already so cold there!

honestly its late, we had about 2 weeks of really warm first. Its the extreme changes that aren't so fun.

Yeah I did :) Me and Alex went shopping and I got a external storage device for my laptop to save all the games I want to play but can't since my laptop only has like 400gb

:) You should try them sometime. They have ones that are animals or prehistoric creatures. I want a dinosaur one lol

Happy Luminaire, everyone!

- I'm so happy they are working for you. It's completely understandable why you avoid triggering foods. :D <3

- Sad thing is I love salty foods, too. My favorite salty food is salt-cured country ham. Slap that on a homemade buttermilk biscuit and I'm in heaven. :D

- I'm happy you found your way here. It is a safe haven and one I am very grateful for. I look back on the years I thought I was cut off from everything I'd loved (I was an avid gamer before I lost my sight) and wonder why I wallowed in my ignorance so long. Now that I know what's available I'm even contemplating getting back into gaming. Yes, amazingly there are video games for the blind. I'm a bit wary trying them out but I think the curiosity will win out. :D

- now, that's amusing. The first Black Friday I worked was back in 1990 at a department store call Leggett's. We had to fight the crowds to even get in the store and this was at 4 a.m. 😂 I'm sorry you're feeling bad, feel better soon. :D <3

Happy Lumi, everyone. :D

I still miss balsamic vinegar despite not really remembering what it tastes like 😭

- Balsamic vinegar is one of my favorite things. I'm so sorry you can't enjoy it but I'm guessing the tannins in it really kick the migraines into overdrive. I can relate. Although I talk of eating sugar all the time I don't. Before the pumpkin roll this Thanksgiving the last time I ate sugar (refined sugar) was when I ate 3 jolly rancher gummies in a Halloween splurge. Threw my sugar off for a day but it was so worth feeling crappy. lol I do applaud the fact that you're stricter with your dietary restrictions than I am. I just don't have the will power. :D <3

Oh, I'm strict about the migraine triggers. The sugar and carbs about the diabetes, not so much. There's only so much will power in the world and I didn't get ALL of it. lol

That makes sense to try and support them. It's too bad they aren't doing an adequate job of it.

Ah crap! I hope you feel better really soon!! <3

That's good. We keep getting rounds of snow and then it clears up and then snows again - so when it's been clear Liz and I have been out Christmas shopping. The stores are all empty and it's been really nice! :-D But I plan on not leaving the house for the next 4 days. :-D

I'm not sure I could put one together these days as I suffer from TMB. AKA Too Many Birthdays!! 😂 But now ya got me wanting to see if I could. :-)

Dang that does sound good!! I was about to say Nice HA and then I realized I made it. ROTFL!!! :-P

yea at least they have finally realized that its there purchase security site, i think. have yet to hear back yet again.. and yet other site stuff is going through just fine. the other 2 i purchase from are from the uk but have bases in the us.

That's good they've realized it. What are your favorite kinds of books?

i read fantasy most and some romance and sometimes historical fiction

Aw I bet you could! There are many for different skill levels, for instance there are simpler ones for kids all the way up to super advanced ones that I could never attempt lol to me it's like a 3d puzzle. I wanted to build my new one but I'm bedridden for the next day or two >,<

I've heard of tools to help blind people to play games and games made by them and for them. I hope you find ones that interest you! Let me know what you find :) This site was one of the first places I was able to come out at (since I lived with my parents who are very trans-phobic) so it has a special place in my heart :)

Boo snow. Yay empty stores, though! :D

- I didn't realize you were diabetic, also. I agree, there's only so much willpower. I avoid processed sugar but I'm bad about natural sugar (fruit) and forget carbs. Potatos in particular. I think I would go even nuttier than I already am if I had to give them up. :D <3

- yeah, it does and I snuck it on the grocery list. lol :P omg, I'll be sure to tell the creator you like her outfit. rofl! 😂

- I'll let you know what I find. :) Subeta is that place for quite a few here. It's incredibly inclusive when the rest of the world isn't. I applaud Keith for building such a safe haven. :D <3

Potatoes are my weakness :( And sugar. And fruit. I'm just a bad diabetic lol

- we'll be bad diabetics together. :) I don't think any of the endocrinologists understand the importance of a potato. It's filling in a way lettuce and celery just isn't. :D All hail the mighty potato! (and all of the other carbs we aren't supposed to have) <3
