    No... I didn't buy a ticket nor did I even think about entering the derby..
    Tickets are $2.00 each or 3 for $5.00.. They were buying them by the handful.. There must be about 2000 tickets sold.. imagine the winner ….. Plenty of $$$$$$

    No Shirley. Thanks for asking but we were lucky not to have any damage at our place. We're pretty enclosed here, so it protects us a lot even tho' we have a lot of mature trees,

    As far as joining a new board goes, I just gave up on the "Low Carb Site" forum I was on... Lack of interest, members, support, ideas, encouragement.. I was a member for over 8 years there.. Great then but now only 3 members left.. forum is virtually dead..
    Does anyone know of a low carb forum that I could join ????

    What matrix told me was that he was closing down the forum after the moderator left, and it seemed like most of the people were gone except a group that had left another forum, and mostly chatted among themselves.
    I offered to help out with welcoming people and moderation; but he said that he was taking the forum offline at any time; so I pretty much just stopped going there.
    I have been doing low carb intermittent fasting; so the forum that I belong to now is for IF and OMAD.
    One of the people from the old forum recommended a low carb forum she likes, but it is just way too busy for me. If you are interested in checking it out, here is the link , https://forum.lowcarber.org/index.php? .
    If you are interested in the OMAD (one meal a day) forum, it is omaddiet.com .

    Thanks Yvonne.…. I checked out the low carb site and I will see if I like it..
    I was with Matrix on the other seniors forum till I was asked to remove a Happy New Year (Shanna Tova) to my Jewish friends from the forum telling me that wasn't accepted on there and remove that nonsense... I left and came here....

    I hope y'all are hunkered down with plenty of food and heat, Steve.

    My sister and I have been eating low carb recently. I have lost about all the weight I wanted to lose so I am adding a few carbs back to my eating. I am amazed at how easy it is to lose weight by eating low carb.

    I have been on low carb for years.. I am on maintenance and it has been that way since I lost just over 150 pounds...
    it is simple and best of all, you don't put the weight back...

    As far as the storm goes, it hasn't hit yet.. Tons of food in the house and my BBQ is full of propane.. We seldom get a power failure, actually only once for about 2 hours back 10 years ago...

    The storm came and then there was a sort of a lull and it started up again..
    As of now, (7:00am) It seems to be all over, and we got hit pretty bad with about 45cms of the white stuff.. It was very windy as well which made it worse as far as accumulation of snow goes because of the blowing snow.. Visibility was nil for a long time.. Highways were closed as well as most businesses in the village.. NO power failure !!!!
    Now, to have the driveway cleaned will be another thing as the chap that does it is gone for 3 weeks to Florida.. I have someone that is supposed to come by today with his front loader to do the snow removal.....

Got loads of pics, I'm exhausted after lots of walking too so I'll post them another day,.. nearly bedtime now!!
