Yes, Virginia, It Does Get Cold in Texas!



Yes, friends, even in the south we have ice and snow....sometimes. Infrequently. Rarely. And this has been one of those times. Everyone in our family had a three-day weekend planned due to being off for MLK's Birthday on Monday, but our three-day weekend has turned into a five-day weekend as prolonged icy weather moved in. All area school districts closed for both Tuesday and Wednesday and my office closed as well. It's been nice...sitting by the fire, playing games with the kids, and even catching up on all the laundry, but tomorrow, it will be Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho, it's off to work/school we go! Which is probably a good thing, because I'm now sitting in front of a fire made with our last fire log, and we're running out of entertainment options unless you count eating.

Our normal January temperatures in our area are around 60-62 degrees, but for the last two or three days, we've been in the upper 20s and low 30s. It even snowed some yesterday, mixed with quite a bit of sleet. Here are pictures I took this morning as everything is beginning to melt now.



I like the ice and snow when it happens because it's such a novelty, but I'm a warm-blooded girl. Can't take the cold for too long!

First of all: nice landscaping!

I bet those snow days were fun, they always are. Luckily, all we got from that storm was rain (three days worth). The ice band was up in the St. Louis area so we missed it by only 70 miles or so.

No Deposit Bonus. This is simply free money. Honest online casinos will offer free casino chips with no strings attached, simply to attract people to play at their virtual tables. There will sometimes be minor strings attached. For example, the casino may ask for credit card details up front. Always read the terms.

On all of these promotions there are limits as to how much they allow as a bonus. In this case study the client played on all three deposit bonuses. First Deposit: 100% up to $150. Needless to say his first casino deposit was $150 (via Neteller) Second Deposit: 50% up to $150. His second deposit was $300 (via Neteller) giving him a bonus of $150.

Traditional banking has always been a brick and mortar building where you go to deposit or withdraw money.

With the popularity of the Internet and the power it gives people to take control of their lives, many traditional banks have created banking Internet web pages where customers could transfer money, set up bill payments recurring or otherwise, quickly check items that have cleared, and many other functions that can be accessed 24 hours per day 7 days a week.

Since the whole idea of banking Internet is to make banking as easy as possible, most banking Internet sites will allow you to make a transfer from a brick and mortar bank to the banking Internet site as often as you like with no charge or a small fee.

This is amazing and makes traveling a lot less stressful as well because with banking Internet you always know where your account stands.
[url=http://pcinternetbanking.com]Online Banking[/url]
Historically banks were institutions that held your money under lock and key.

Traditional banks have monitored the popularity and growth of the internet, and realising customers wanted greater control of their affairs, have created their own internet banking web sites.

Others will also enable you to set up online banking by simply transferring your funds by check.

Internet banking has revolutionalized banking with immediate global access to your bank accounts using a secure internet connection.

11.) Online bingo sites offering bingo cards for 25c offer substantial cash bingo prizes. Play at these sites to improve your winning chances. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]online games bingo[/url] You have to mark all numbers in any given pattern or combination like diagonal, vertical, horizontal or a total blackout by marking all numbers in your card. The game stops as soon as any single player calls out 'bingo' after completing any particular combination or pattern. Thereafter, a new game ensues. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]free bingo cash[/url] With so many different casino and gaming sites on the Internet, it is difficult to know which ones are legitimate and which ones are not. After all, if you want to join the gaming community, you have to decide whether you want to play for money or for fun and prizes. If the former, it is more pertinent to find out what sites are legitimate since you do not want to invest cash into something that is not going to give you a return on your investment.
no deposit bingo bingo
Your aim would be to cover the prescribed pattern with the bingo letters, by coordinating the letters and numbers called. The patterns can be anything like, u shape, t shape, etc, though it usually is horizontal or vertical. As soon as you get the pattern, you should shout bingo and you get the prize. In case there are others who shouted at the same time as you, the prize will be shared among all winners.

We realize what it is like looking for quality content relating to a very specific subject.

What we have observed, more and more, is just doing a basic search does not always yield the most suitable information.

Avoid feeling like it is something that only happens to you since it is not. That is what compelled us to put this article together for you about [url=http://cungmuahotdeal.com/thoi-trang.html]Thoi trang nam[/url].

You will be in a greater position once you finish reading the following.

The relative difficulties of men's and women's fashion

Both women and men could feel the demands of maintaining their wardrobe up-to-date and in time, yet men's fashion usually seems a lot less complicated. Of course, for both sexes, outfits and style choices may be equally as elaborate, and there are lots of'cool'items which can rapidly become fashion faux pas - who is able to say they often see people walking around in 70s flares? On the other side, men's style includes a few staple things that can exist eternally - which man is going to watch out of position with a good-quality, tailored suit, for example? Select traditional pieces, colours and fabrics and you'll never look out-of-place.

Why basic men's style is eternal

The classic man's suit has barely changed for over a hundred years. True, there are many types for various functions, but they are all common in their quest for a clever, sharp search for the individual. The good thing about traditional style for men is that it's efficiently trendy effectively cool. A well-groomed lady will more often than not appear his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and this can be a testament to the style of such clothing. A match will undoubtedly be worn to work in many jobs due to the professional search it offers to the person, instilling a sense of respect and trust. Similarly a match will undoubtedly be utilized to several social events, like a tuxedo to a black-tie event. This extraordinary versatility that enables suits to be used in virtually all events is what gives it its eternal advantage and a lasting invest men's fashion.

Contemporary trends in traditional men's style

Whilst classic men's designs will never be replaced, it's interesting to observe that changes in men's fashion trends have produced particular classic clothes back to fashion. The acceptance of vintage clothing, specially, has taken back a wide-variety of common models into men's closets, such as that of the dandy gentleman. 'Dandy'is a term used to refer to men who dress in a classic yet expensive way, working in a sophisticated manner and placing importance on appearance. This pattern for nearly'over-the-top'traditional fashion for men is evident from events including the'Tweed Run', wherever men and women of all ages dress in especially Victorian-style attire and take to the roads on vintage bicycles - with lots of the men sporting impeccable mustaches! That is just one single of many types of data showing the resurrection of such types. Additionally, there are numerous sites on line which give attention to gentlemanly style - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as entire internet sites such as'The Art of Manliness'focused on giving articles on common men's fashion and grooming.

In summary, though specific issues with basic men's style could be brought back as new trends, the essential garments which they are derived from will never fall out of fashion.

"All it takes certainly are a few basic garments. And there is one key - the easier the better." - Cary Grant
