Hahahaha, that was fun, Eggie. Of course, it sure made me glad I am not a mommy having to watch my baby hurtling through the air being indestructible.

Right now I am happy that I can get out of my drive way, I did alot of phone calling to get someone, I got a nice women who called her husband and he helped me out of course I paid him which I was glad to do. I have freedom, I am going crazy in the house for 3 days. Unfortunaly they don't usually do snow plowing, so I have find someone to do it for me.

That video just made me SMILE!!!! I SO remember sliding down the hills at Iowa State on cafeteria trays! Skiing to class! Priceless... ALSO, was very happy to be reminded that the Pennsylvania beer that I miss so much is Yeungling, and not Rolling Rock. The Rolling Rock here is bottled in St. Louis and doesn't taste the same. My students just don't know what they are missing down here with, well, no snow.

Hey Sheila! A few people on the bus were asking about you tonight. I was hoping you had gotten plowed out by now. Albany's response to the snow emergency has been lack luster to say the least. Many side streets still weren't plowed this morning. On streets that have been plowed they have had little regard for pedestrians and people who rely on public transportation. In a city like Albany that is a lot of people. Even in places where the home owners have shoveled the snow from the sidewalks the city trucks have come along and piled snow up at the corners and the bus stops are not cleared out at all. It makes it worse that some children take the city buses to school or have to walk to school over huge snow banks.

We live very near each other and sometimes ride the bus to work together. We both found TVCH separately and in chatting while waiting for the bus many mornings, discovered our mutual interest in reality tv and this board. It really is a small world.

My mom has been giving me a ride in because it has been too cold to wait for the bus. Hey, how are you doing? I start taking the bus in the springtime. We are going out to get food tomorrow, hopefully that won't be a problem. It is a small world.

Sheila, I live on the west side right near the peace bridge. Buffalo is so prepared for snow that plowing goes on day and night endlessly. Most roads are cleared right away. Its been really hard on the southtowns though.

Well, actually it was Redfield, NY which is in Oswego County where the Nat. Weather Service went to see if they broke a record for snowfall. Oswego itself, has been pretty bad, too. Glad my DD graduated last May! My other DD lives in Ithaca and works at a couple of places PT at Cornell. She has to take a bus, so travel has been pretty rough for her! We used to steal the trays for sledding back when I was in college at Alfred, NY. That was a pretty snowy place itself!

Watching...youuu hooo.... See my post of Feb 15th in this thread and watch the YouTube titled Snow Day at Cornell. You'll see lots of cafeteria trays used for sledding. My son lives near College Town and attends Cornell. So we both have kidlets on campus!

Eggie... I did watch the video and sent it on to my DD who lives there! I knew your DS graduated from there and was probably staying for grad school. She lives close to "The Commons" and can walk there. She used to live out near the airport and that was a pain for her having to take the bus. She does have to walk for it now since she lives on a one-way street but often her boyfriend can drive her if he's not working. It kills me, though. Two young people in their mid-20s with Bachelor degrees working in restuarants and whatever jobs they can pick up. My DD hates the one job she has that is part of Cornell. She says a "monkey can do it." It's taking surveys from people regarding "something." She gets some part-time work in the Art Dept. and then works at a "smoothie shack" in the Commons. Her hope is once you get in to "anything" at Cornell, she has a better chance of getting something better. She's interviewed a few times for research assistants, but has never gotten anything. Her boyfriend works in a resturant! Such good use of all that college education and money, esp. when it's hard to earn enough to pay rent and pay back your college loans! Twinkie - Alfred is a TOTAL COLLEGE TOWN! I have great and funny memories from my days there. With the state school and the university across the street, there's not much else there. It was a great place to go to college. I think I had a little bit too much fun for several semesters. LOL
