Twas chicken that poisoned me, so I can't eat it in any shape or form or it tries to kill me all over again. I do love pizza though, so long as there's no chicken on it.

Let's see....I took an Hawaiian pizza..frozen and added green peppers and fried up bacon and hit with more cheese and we had that along with and hearty bean an bacon soup with carrots and celery in it.Tonight I sent him taco Bell for my pinto's and Calupa...it's recommended on the South Beach diet.  But been snacking on stuff all day long. Havent' left th ehouse since it started snowing and don't plan to either...I keep writing and researching instead.

But..talking about your weather... last night.... on reddit.com...someone over there sent in an photo of the exceptionally high tides and showed an wave hitting an  seawall... down in the south of England..and an 150 foot high spray of water going over everything....awesome to see. Just straight up in the air..150 feet. Someplace called somethig like Adley?.

I have anywhere from one to three inches of snow, depending on how it blew...but in comes either rain and it warms up, or freezing rain by morning. Last i heard it warmed up...from wind chill of 7 degress yesterday...if was above freezing over at the coast earlier tonight..I hope it comes in warm rain and no ice. Besides, everything been shut up and closed and VAlentine's Day is coming.  You know, out for dinner and all that jazz. I've written and researched 24 pages since yesterday. My hours are all askew right now as well as my diet. Writing was done  on the Butler family/Washington's...several parishes...templar knights headquarter at Rothley..Leicastershire, George Lawson's "will" ...South Hampshire history. plus history of Durham county also...in reguard to land ownership of some of the people by name. I've looked over all the Knight's since they began knighting them, and Justice records and an lot of bioaugraphy's of people's names associated with records. Looked up some of the castle's and houses also. I also was trying to find out more about John Lawson, Lord of Fawkegrave, Co., York : Henry III. I found out that on my John Lawson of Longhirst...the Ingles were his lawyers...The Swinhoes...in London was warden of the Literary Guild for copy right books...esp with Shakespear's writings so now I understand this thing I've heard concerning that perhaps Francis Bacon had been writing some of his plays...by the time he arrived over here, it see's them into "Bacon's Rebellion"....early Jamestown area. Checked out who was Robert Claxon in the will also. Keeps me from noticing the weather going on much outside right now. Lawson's married both the Swinnow's and Ingles eventually. So far George's mother was named Elizabeth...and I think his wife's name maybe Grace Hollies. Could be his "son" that' s over here from King William co., Virginia.founding days...his will was written in 1587...and jamestown was founded in 1605. His Manor house was eventually given to Bernard and Robert Shaw...father and son. With that, I go for now...it's "enough" at times I think.

That's bad news about your friend John, everywhere is just so waterlogged. It must be a living nightmare for lots of people. Our friends in Cornwall have taken a right battering, one of the houses in the cove where they live got hit by a wave and it's taken the whole front off the house and washed it into the sea. They've lived there all their lives and it's the first time that they've ever felt frightened.

Glad the new modem is up and running James, I put a new wireless router in about 18 months ago as the old one started refusing to keep all the equipment on the internet. It's surprising how you notice a difference in speed.

John, there are three router types kicking around at the moment, as far as I'm aware, 801.11g, 801.11n and 801.11ac.

g is an older one which we got rid of because it dropped everything off the internet.

n is the one we've got now.

ac is the most recent and the most powerful, supposed to be super fast. 

It may be that you've gone from an n back to a g, if you have it will be slower.
