Re: Spring Weather
I everybody. I haven't vanished. I still read here. I just don't have much to add to the conversations. This is not spring. This is the winter that refuses to die. I've had exactly 3 nice spring days in Omaha this year. It snowed last weekend and is forecast to snow again Saturday. Tomorrow (Friday,...

Great American Solar Eclipse, August 21, 2017
Have you heard about the Great American Eclipse? I learned about it last December but a lot of people have not. There will be a solar eclipse on Monday, August 21, 2017. Every state in the US will see at least a partial eclipse. The path of the total eclipse it goes across the US from Oregon to Sout...

Re: The tornadoes missed me
AliceofCheshire - that trick probably still works with old, analog TV sets. Here in Tornado Alley we just watch TV, a local station, in real time. When a storm gets bad the big 3 stations switch to all weather until the danger is past. Last night my weather radio drove me crazy. I live near a corner...

The tornadoes missed me
There were 1 or 2 tornadoes in Omaha today. And I do mean IN, well inside the city limits, near Boys Town. I live outside the city limits, off the south west corner, about 15-20 miles from today's tornado. This area (Omaha) has had thunderstorms every day since Sunday. This is getting old. BTW - I'm...

Re: Spring Weather
Yikes. I just saw the forecast for the northeast US. It looks like NYC and points south will get a little snow. Boston to Bangor and beyond are going to get clobbered. I have a few relatives up that way. Meanwhile for Omaha "the models do not agree". No one knows what I'm getting Wednesday. Tomorrow...

Re: Spring Weather
It snowed here yesterday, but the snow melted as it hit the ground. We have another rain/snow storm forecast for Wednesday. It was near 80F last week. Next up, tornadoes. That's its the price of living in Nebraska.

Re: Blocking calls from "Unknown"?
Thanks, I'll pass the information along. But the victim is elderly and probably doesn't have one computer, let alone 2. Another poster on that board suggested she ask her phone company.

Blocking calls from "Unknown"?
The mother of someone I know on a strictly social board is getting calls where the caller ID says "Unknown" and is considering changing her phone number to get rid of them. We all know a new phone number often comes with the pests the previous owner was trying to get rid of. Is there a call blocker ...

Re: Wishing Everyone
I bought and started using a Feliway diffuser about a week before the move. It helped the cats a lot. Now they are sleeping all over the house, just like at the old house. I down-sized. The old house was a raised ranch with the laundry and garage in the walk-out basement, on 5 acres. I was always ha...
