Not me. My weekend was heartbreaking. One of the little boys from my football team had an allergic reaction on nov 30th that gave him a heart attack. He was given cpr on the way to the hospital but didn't have a pulse for almost 10'mins. His brain had lots and lots of swelling and he had been in a coma on a ventilator ever since. Friday afternoon he was declared brain dead and early Saturday morning his family donated his organs. Bryson was only 6 years old. Completely healthy and never had allergies before. Rest easy Bryson.

If y'all could do me a favor and watch the news article and send positive thoughts towards his family and to the family's that were lucky enough to revive the gift of his organs. I pray that each of their surgeries were a success.

It's sad when a kid dies before he had a chance to live . To lose a kid with no health problems its unbelievable .

Sissie.... ;)We have pouring rain, gonna have 3 inches today, 30 MPH winds and 40 degrees. Ya wanna be cold? PNW right now. We got 3 ft of snow yesterday in the Cascades. All the lifts are open. Not that I care....
but I am kinda worried about Heather. Medford got snow and ice and lost power for hours. This is her first winter here and she's in a declared emergency situation.
I believe that is why we live in California

Well, it's been in the low 70's as the high, and even my torts don't want to go out. I make all of them get some sun, though. Even if it's in the 60's, all the torts get out for a little walkabout, otherwise, they'd go nuts locked up in their pens. That's why I recently bought a walkthrough freezer curtain so that it will maintain the warmer temps inside and keep the cold out. Funny how that works, huh.

My bigger torts go out in the 60's too. At least for a couple of hours if it's sunny.
I just saw our forecast for the next few nights and low 30's it is.
We don't see that to often.

I've see my big sulcatas out in the high 30's . They come out walk around then back in their house . Sally would say out and I'd have to put her back in the shed . It seems this winter she knows to go inside to heat up .

So sad, especially this time of year. Already he was able to continue living and bringing joy to others via his donation.
