[dandysmom]

Will you get about ok if it is really deep DM?

The streets and sidewalks are clear, and she's driving. I can carry more home that way not having to tote it on the bus.

[calismum]

Oh no - can't decide between three guesses.

Will say iron?

[angieh]

What about carbon????????

[Shelley123]

not iron........

[Shelley123]

sorry not carbon

[calismum]

The streets and sidewalks are clear, and she's driving. I can carry more home that way not having to tote it on the bus.

Didn't realise she was going to drive - that means you can get a good stock in - how bad are the predicted storms?

[calismum]

Hydrogen then?.......

[dandysmom]

I'm sticking, although I may be wrong .....

[angieh]

I'll try nitrogen then ...............

[Shelley123]

Hydrogen is correct

[dandysmom]

Didn't realise she was going to drive - that means you can get a good stock in - how bad are the predicted storms?

BAD! The coming one may be on the same scale as December's 16.4! And one on the horizon next week .... this has been an abominable Winter. :evil:

[Shelley123]

Question 4

[Shelley123]

well done angie

[angieh]

No wonder that groundhog saw his shadow! They said that it's been the coldest winter in Scotland since records began, and the coldest in the UK for 25 years. Do you know US figures Eileen?

[calismum]

We had some of the sheep in this afternoon and the outside of their fleece was solid with ice.

They were lovely and snug underneath though.

angieh - is the lanolin still doing well for you?

[Shelley123]

Question 5
What is the most common non contageous disease in the world?

[Elaine]

No wonder that groundhog saw his shadow! They said that it's been the coldest winter in Scotland since records began, and the coldest in the UK for 25 years. Do you know US figures Eileen?

It's certainly the coldest I can remember, the longest too.

[dandysmom]

Not offhand, but will look them up. I do know that our average Winter snowfall is 15", and we passed that back in the big December storm.

[dandysmom]

I suspect it might be malaria .........

[Shelley123]

Hi Elaine, are you feeling better?

[calismum]

Wracking my brains with this one.............

[Elaine]

Tooth decay

[angieh]

Hi Elaine - are you joining in?????

The lanolin is still doing well CM - I can't seem to get rid of the dermatitis, but it has improved no end!

[dandysmom]

Hi, Elaine, how are you feeling?

[Elaine]

Hi Elaine, are you feeling better?

Yes thankyou, got a cough now but I'll live;)

[angieh]

That's a puzzler .............. what about diabetes?

[Shelley123]

Tooth decay is correct

[calismum]

HI Elaine - glad you're on the mend.

[dandysmom]

Good one, Elaine, never thought of that one..... my second choice was heart disease.

[Elaine]

Hi Elaine - are you joining in?????

For a wee while, am very tired.

The lanolin is still doing well CM - I can't seem to get rid of the dermatitis, but it has improved no end!

Hi, Elaine, how are you feeling?

I'm not so bad thanx Eileen. xxx

[Shelley123]

Question 6
What alcoholic spirit is used in a Daiquiri cocktail?

[angieh]

Tooth decay????? And yet we have a scarcity of dentists!

[Elaine]

Rum......................

[Shelley123]

Thought i'd bring a bit of alcohol into it :D

[calismum]

Meant to say DM - love the signature - no idea how long you've had it - but love it nonetheless.

[angieh]

Is it rum?????????????? I like rum.

[Shelley123]

And they charge the earth, dentists that is

[angieh]

I certainly can't look at Pip without smiling!

[calismum]

Rum................

[Shelley123]

Rum is the answer, well done ladies

[angieh]

Just imagine a world without sugar .................. no sweets, and no rum either!

Rum

Had the new sig about a month, CM ... glad you like it

[angieh]

But probably no tooth decay either .........................

[Shelley123]
