Stormpc Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 1 hour ago, Always in Zugzwang said: Amen!! I've got the entire suite of his symphonies, Cleveland Orchestra recordings with George Szell as conductor. Also another copy of the 9th (my favorite), Cleveland Orchestra with Christoph von Dohnanyi. I was fortunate enough to hear the 9th live two times while in Atlanta in the late '90s, with the Atlanta Symphony. Once was with a guest conductor (can't recall who at the moment), and the other time was with Yoel Levi (their regular conductor/musical director at the time). That included the Atlanta Symphony Chorus, still heavily influenced by the great Robert Shaw. Quint, from Jaws? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 The CC feature might be great technology but technology also gave me almost a foot of snow a few days ago and the same technology took it away. So I might not "love" technology as much as some of y'all Now let me use my smart phone to order off Amazon and get it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something GOOD to remember about 2020 at least..... Very true! Of course, I could piss ice cubes onto sun-scorched blacktop pavement in mid-July and surpass last winter's snow total!! (Not that I've tried that, LOL!!) And agree, this event is one of the few bright spots of 2020. Nice to have something wintry in December! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Made some simple oven roasted brussel sprouts. Olive oil, salt, pepper, a touch of garlic powder, and a drizzle of Vermont maple syrup. Superb esp given minimum effort. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at Wisp it actually looks cheaper if I'm just looking for a condo to escape to for marginal events and then rent out the rest of the year. Hmmm...

I haven't tried using parchment paper because i love the crispy edges and corners. I am going to make some butter press-out cookies later today or tomorrow. I made chicken stock over the weekend for soup tonight and I need to get started on a loaf of bread instead of staring out the window at the snow. So my daughter made these. OH MY they are so good!!! Thank you for the tip on the recipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40westwx Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 This will go down as the worst winter storm ever for me... I say this with a heavy heart.. earlier today my son took our Great Dane out to play in the snow... as he was galloping through the snow he collapsed and suddenly died.. he was extremely healthy.. it makes no sense.. I had to put him in the car in the front yard and take him to the vet to get him cremated.. It happened in front of all the neighbors... I feel like this isnt real or something... 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at Wisp it actually looks cheaper if I'm just looking for a condo to escape to for marginal events and then rent out the rest of the year. Hmmm... Snowshoe definitely has better skiing (and gets more snow) but Wisp is more of a 4 season area given Deep Creek Lake. Wisp is also easier to get to which is why we decided on McHenry instead of Snowshoe. But Snowshoe definitely has more of a “snow village” feeling which I liked when we went there for my 30th a few years ago...Wisp seriously lacks that but does have stuff in the area in McHenry, Swanton, and Oakland. You really can’t go wrong with either if/when you make the jump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omg, that’s terrible. I’m sorry for you and your family. I know what its like to lose a pet suddenly and its not easy. While the saying is cliche, time heals but it won’t be easy...I hope your son is okay...I’m sure that wasn’t easy for him to see. You’re in my prayers.
