I’ll get Alycia to look at it whenever she wakes up. I sadly do not have the magical powers she and other mods have on Reef2Reef, haha
if you ever get there, I think it would be great to be able to delete PM conversations and edit them as well. unless I'm missing how to do that. ?

at least it looks warm.
It is now. The job wasnt heated till about 2 or 3 weeks ago. When I complained so we told the general contractor, heat the place or we're packing up and leaving till its heated. The recommendation for new England it like 40-80btu per sq foot. This place is at 1200 lol

yeah, working in bulky clothing and having your fingers too numb to bend isn't enjoyable.

Especially considering we can't really wear gloves and all we wanted was 40°+.

You can leave PM's I know that, but being able to edit a pm you send is not possible (probably is if you are a mod)

Good morning everyone. Still feeling like I have been hit by a truck so I went to get retested so we shall see. On a side note its 20 degrees here this morning and I'm so thankful for my heated coat that my stepson and his fiancé got me for Christmas it is wonderful!
