Happy New Year One and All!

To our COH family on the USA east coast.... is everyone okay from storm?  Those out of the area/country, we had a nasty storm over the week-end, Florida had a tornado,  Georgia, the Carolinas and Virginia had one heck of a snow/sleet/wind storm, NY, New England mostly wind and rain.  LOTS of power outages, which means no heat!    Lizzy NY, Donnamarie, Way 2 Old let us know that you're okay.
xxoo

👋PP - We're ok in NY. Lots of rain and killer winds overnight, but no lasting damage that I know of. How are you? Did you lose power? Do you have heat? Donnamarie, how much snow did you get? Way2O did you get snow? This winter is weird!

I hope everyone came through in good shape.

I'm from Maryland. The snow storm wasn't much but the hospital I work for is being inundated with Covid cases. I can't wait for January to be over and hopefully this virus will start dying down again!

That sounds familiar, Ida. Most hospitals here in the UK have been coping but often           overwhelmed and cancelling routine appointments, as staff and patients drop like flies with Omicron having tested positive. But it's mild - and we are starting to come out of it (we think!)and very grateful for all the NHS do.

Hello! Hope everyone's keeping warm! I don't know what the weather's like across the pond, but here we're getting some real winter weather and it ain't fun! NYC is in the deep freeze and other places along the east coast are getting snow and freezing rain. If you're dealing with the nasty weather please be careful and stay safe and warm. A hot toddy wouldn't come amiss. Drink 3

Hi folks

Just a quick heads up that now there aren't so many of us posting, it doesn't make sense to start a new chit chat thread for each month.  Hope you guys are ok if we just have the one thread for the whole year? 

Also: 

Just to let you know that I'm in the process of renewing this site again.  Just in case it doesn't go smoothly, remember that this site ALWAYS exists at this web address:

 https://clooneysopenhouse.forumotion.com

Hello! Hi, guys! My last post with PAN made me wonder: If there was one thing you could get someone else to do for you, what would it be? 

For me: household chore: dusting/vacuuming. I hate that it never ends.
             other: banking/financial matters - I just don't have the head for it all.

What would be on your wish list?

Yard work.

Used to love it. Weeding, trimming, mowing, raking... A good workout for the body, and a good time to let the mind escape.
And such a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction when it's done.

Now, nah. I'd rather pay somebody and have them do it to my expectations.

Ok COH USA East Coast family,  sounds like a big storm is headed our way.  For those of us in NE, we're being told to expect a storm of epic proportions  ( think Perfect Storm with snow), high  winds 2-3 ft of  snow.  Anyway, everyone be safe,  stay off the streets, and watch lots of GTC dvds/movies.

PP - Thumbs up! Great advice. I'd only add a bottle of wine or a hot toddy  to go with the GTC film fest.

Are they really predicting 2-3 feet of snow up your way? WOW! Just saw that we're due to get 8-12" overnight and then tomorrow it will all freeze over. Typical NY winter mess.

Anyone in the path of the storm please be safe. Get stocked up on whatever you need, take down the extra blankets and hunker down until it's safe to go out. And if you're the one who has to dig out, be careful! Remember, if you wait long enough it will go away all by itself! Very Happy

Hope you guys in the US are all doing alright?  

And the same to all in the UK where the met office has just issued both yellow and amber (really???) weather warnings in the north.  It's a little breezy here in the south, too.

Katie - What kind of weather comes with yellow and amber alerts? Wind, rain, snow?

 Looking out the window here it looks like we've got at least 6" of snow, probably more in a lot of places, and it's still coming down. There are kids out playing and the snowplows have come by a couple of times since last night, so the streets are passable for cars, but the sidewalks are still mostly unshoveled so walking is a problem. Give it a couple of days and it will either freeze solid or turn into a gray, slushy mess.

 Generally all weather warnings. The whole country snorts with amusement when there's a yellow snow warning, although the met office don't seem to have caught on to that yet.  This time it's wind, apparently. Guess it must be the after effects of all those brussels sprouts we all ate at Christmas [snigger].  Sorry.

Good luck with all that snow. Doesn't sound like much fun to me, although it's pretty to look at.

Thanks for the info.  (Chit Chat 2022 1f602  Chit Chat 2022 1f602 brussels sprouts & yellow snow!)

The snow was pretty until they started to clean it up. It's already piled at the curbs and gray and dirty looking. If it gets really cold tonight walking will be dangerous tomorrow and we'll have piles of ice around for days.

PP - I was worried about you losing power, Glad to hear you're ok. That's a heck of a lot of snow. Have they started clearing it away yet? The streets here are cleared but the sidewalks and curbs are a mess. If we luck out and it rains instead of snows this weekend, it might all get washed away, Fingers crossed. If not, we'll be climbing over ice for days. I hope you have better luck. If you do venture out be careful.

All things considered it looks like Mother Nature is not too happy with us. Be safe everyone.

Wow there’s a lot of weather going on in everyone’s neck of the woods!  So glad all of you are doing well and staying safe.  I love the snow but two feet might be pushing it just a tad.  PP glad you didn’t lose power but who did your shoveling? Around DC we just got a half inch or so.  The snow storm on Jan 17 or so we got about 6-7 inches.  It was pretty. Didn’t lose power but many others in the DC and Virginia area did.  And of course we had that crazy traffic backup on Interstate 95 that lasted two days!  Unbelievable.  A perfect storm of what could go wrong ... did.  Anyone who 
lives on the East Coast knows 95 and has probably driven it.   
Next up - possible ice storm on Friday/Saturday.  The good times just keep on coming.

Donnamarie  glad to know of you love for Interstate 95 (LOL) , always keeps you guessing.  That possible ice storm is more of a reality for us- or so says the weatherman.  We being told to grid our loins and get ready for Saturday.  I just take it as it comes, and am always prepared if we loose power---- red wine is served at room temperature and melted hagen daz makes a great chilled soup!

A warm winter here in the south west of the UK. I've had hardly any frost at all. A bit worried because all the spring flowers are coming up and if the weather turns cold, they'll get badly hit.

Anyway, I came here to remind everyone to bookmark this site's original page: clooneysopenhouse.forumotion.com

I can't remember how to renew the ".com" address, so just in case I don't get it sorted in time, you can still find this site at the ".forumotion.com" address.

In an effort not to take another thread too far off topic, I'm copying and pasting comments here instead:

Admin wrote:I feel that this country is very close behind the US in the hot mess stakes, though!  

LizzyNY wrote:Oh, Katie, please say that isn't so! I look to the UK as a place of sanity and stability. There are too many days when it seems that this country is on the brink of falling apart. Donald Trump opened the cages and let all the animals out and now they're running amok. It's going to take years, if ever, for us to get back to some sort of normalcy.

The sad thing with us sharing the same language is that the insanity spreads quickly. Our prime minister recently used a far-right US conspiracy accusation against the leader of the opposition and as a result, the opposition leader was attacked on the street by a mob. [background: opposition leader was the british equivalent of attorney general (I think) when our prosecution service failed to catch/charge our most famous paedophile. It's known that our opposition leader wasn't in any way involved in this monumental fuck up, but it didn't stop our prime minister saying otherwise. Riling up the mob (think pizzagate) against him got our prime minister a little bit of breathing space. It was a nasty business]

Katie - I think what makes the UK seem so much more sane than us is that over here the lunatic fringe is armed to the teeth and looking for a fight to prove they're "real men". If every one of these right-wing crazies was hospitalized or jailed, half the men in the country would disappear.

I have to tell you something funny & creepy that happened to me over the weekend. I joined Instagram and there was a George Clooney page on there. I joined to see if they had any nice photos that I haven't seen yet. The admin/moderator PMed me and started asking all of these intrusive questions ....where do I live , work, etc.

So I asked the same ones back to him (I'm assuming he was male but maybe not??). When i asked where he lived, he loled and said Lexington, KY. The more I asked, I realized he was pretending to be George.
I called him out on it right away, as i know George is not on social media. His English was good but not quite how a native American would speak. He was insistant that he was really George that it freaked me out and not in a good way. I ended up blocking his page because I was seriously creeper out and I hate liars. So be careful out there. Lots of freaks.

Oh yes, I get this person posting on my COH social media pages pretending to be George and asking people to give personal information.

It seems to me that it should become clear fairly soon that it's not really George but I still think it's really wicked to behave that way.

Ooh, and a special request from me. I've just paid to keep this site online at the usual site address.  To avoid this happening again next year and costing me again, we need to be posting more.  

Ideally it would be good for people to be posting thoughts, opinions and so on, rather than just "thanks for sharing" because quality matters, but I'll take what I can get Smile  So please log in and post replies, pretty please, to save me money.

There's some sort of arcane scoring system which gives this forum points based on:

The amount or members you have,
The number of posts made by them,
Topic's made by members,
Amount of times members log in to your forum.

So please log in and post replies, pretty please, to save me money.

In regards to my previous post about the fake George Clooney pages, I guess I take particular offense to fakes and trolls because my oldest sister is learning disabled and she dies not have the capacity to distinguish them like the rest of us do. I found out she wired $150 to Nigeria once because some thief told her she won money and had to send a deposit to collect it. It's a full time job keeping after her! Lol.
Ps- I really appreciate this forum and being able to read and chat with other fans. I ran a clooney fan site for about 7 years...from around 1998 to around 2005 called clooneyfan.com. I think someone else bought the domain name after I stopped and went back to school.

Hello Ida, I think I remember your site. I miss the old sites; they had such fantastic info about George from when he was young and giving interviews.

If you still have any of your old files still on your computer, you're more than welcome to post them here - I'm sure I'm not the only one who enjoys wondering down memory lane!

About the fake Georges on social media, yes, this makes me see red. It's cruel and just wrong.

What a Face Just saw an article about Storm Eunice walloping the UK! Good grief! Planes trying to land two or more times, waves pounding the coast, power outages - it even took out the roof of London's O2, It looks like almost nobody was spared.

Is everyone ok? Do you all have power? Please be careful and stay safe.

Everybody I know has stayed at home today and worked from home (amazing that the pandemic now means things like this are a doddle - unless of course you're a paramedic going out to emergencies).

A variety of debris - tarpaulins and branches - have been shoved back over fences if necessary and unbelievably local councils have send out trucks to clear the roads in the suburbs. 

Sometimes this sort weather definitely shows up the dodgy/ or 'modern' workmanship I think...
Not aware of any power cuts around here today, but has been restored very quickly...

We have been amber and yellow warnings for the rest of the weekend too...

...So I'm guessing most of the bonkers stuff happened overnight, Katie?

Not in my part of the world.  This morning was quite lovely; sunny and only a little breezy.  It only kicked off around 10am and calmed down in the afternoon.  I think the far south west and the south east coast got hit the hardest.

Chit Chat 2022 2764 Well, I'm glad to hear you're both alright. The Post article made it seem like the storm really ripped through everything. Good to know that it wasn't as bad as they made it seem - or maybe it depends on where you were when the storm hit? Anyway, keep safe.

(I wonder if George's place - being on the river and all - got much damage. Seems like if a duck spits, his place gets flooded,)

Oh trees are down, power was cut,  buildings collapsed and so on. It was a wild rife for some in the country.  I'm luck in that I live in an urban area so mostly protected from the wors.

I'm really glad you're okay in the UK!

'Eunice' is called 'Zeynab' in Germany and started at about 6 p.m. here. It's quite dangerous since we just had a storm Wednesday night. So trees and buildings are already damaged and roads are still blocked due to collapsed trees. The storm is still quite heavy, we'll see how everything looks tomorrow...

Oh, Carol, it sounds as if you've had our previous storm to 'Eunice' too. That was called  'Dudley'! I wonder how they choose these names!

 Good to hear from you - hope that your emergency services manage to clear up soon.

 Sadly at the end of today, there have been four deaths as a result of the destruction here..

  Lizzy, the thing about George's place is effectively it has two branches of the River Thames either side of it.  On one side the river runs through the           theatre's mill and creates the energy to run the theatre and on the other side is George's  land and garden.

Thumbs up! Good for you! Get out there and find a winner (but be careful of the crazies). If nothing else, have fun!

What did George say about auditions? The worst that can happen is that you don't get something you didn't have to begin with. Isn't dating pretty much the same? Good luck!

Hey everybody! It's the 1st of March!  It's almost officially spring.  And only a little way away from the clocks going forward again.

Apart from the war in Ukraine, how's everyone doing?
