You are set for all that white stuff now! I am looking forward to seeing all your snow but bet you aren't.

Sweet City Woman ... great song for your video, Colleen. I have two kerosene heaters I use in my house when/if the power goes off during the cold of winter. Last year both of them in my living room didn't help bring the temps up much when it was 20 below zero, but it sure kept it from getting any colder. This time, since I used them last winter, I won't worry about them being dangerous if I have to turn them on before I go to bed. They are kind of scary if you have a very tight house with no air vents, but I don't have to worry about that with my house. When the wind blows out there, it finds ways to get inside around windows and doors.
Our temps went from 80's last week down to a low of 35 on Sat. a.m., but now back up to 70's and 50's for this week. Planning to go camping with the BF and horses this coming weekend, but I see the forecast at present is calling for 50-80% chance of rain EACH DAY! Yikes! That may make for an awful weekend, but bet we would be there pretty much by ourselves! The campground is booked full, but that won't happen if it rains like they are predicting. I'm holding out hope that it changes by Friday for Southern Illinois, Shawnee Forest!

Thanks CE, glad you like that song, compliments to local CJCY Radio that was playing that tune at that moment in time, and I just wanted to share that special moment I had with sweet hubby, keeping tune with his tapping foot. Moments like that are fleeting quick as the days are growing shorter and the nights are getting colder every day now. Got to tan and soak up some vitamin D before the sun is too low on the winter horizon to provide much warmth and the ground will be frozen solid soon too,

Had a nice day with my sweet mother, and she went to see my sister who is supposed to give birth at the ripe age of 51! No baby in sight and when my mother asked her when her baby is coming, she said "when the apple drops from the tree"? Crazy sister still has not seen doctor and good grief I am starting to wonder what she is going to give birth too! It has been 10 months now and still no baby!!

Sounds like a false pregnancy, a mental baby not real. Ow it could have passed and if it did not come out, it can mummify in there. If she ever had a real pregnancy test that said she was really pregnant.

Really 10months...................this does not sound good at all.
What will happen to her if the baby stays in there and she does nothing to take it out?

It can do a couple of things, just dissolve, mummify, or come out as a miscarriage type delivery. I scanned for mummified fetus, missed miscarriages, the body can do lots of different things.

Whatever the case I hope she maybe just miscalculated the due date and all will be ok.

I don't think she was ever pregnant. If she simply used missing periods as a sign of pregnancy, and then got it in her head she WAS pregnant, since she had no periods, she mentally thought she was pregnant, and therefore her body began taking on extra weight, and she felt like she was pregnant. My guess is there is no baby in there, and wonder how long it will be before she realizes she was wrong, and then may have a mental breakdown, soooo upset about a loss of something that never was. Not trying to be mean, just thinking that for the last 3 months, I thought she should have already had the baby, and nothing has happened. I sure hope she is ok, and won't go into any type of depression. Keep an eye on her, and keep your ears and eyes open for any signs of stress, because if she never was pregnant, she may fall and fall hard once she realizes it. Just saying .... :(
