shut off water supply from sprinkler systems
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Guess I won't be golfing this weekend.
I've been winter golfing in Chicago. 

It's a battle, though, between the ball not flying as far due to the density of cold air, but how much additional run-out you get from it landing on frozen ground as hard as concrete.

Can't use a white ball, either, in case it ends up in an area of the course with a little accumulated snow.

Every single part of that sounds horrible.

unprecedented cold streak here as well

the local weathermen haven't talked about breaking records yet, but I don't remember such an extended cold since the mid-80s.  
There was 6-7 years ago back 2 back winters the Great Lakes froze over.Weather Man said 2014 was last time we've had 3 weeks or more of extended cold from 11- mid 20s

Imagine you were told you had cancer and had a year to live, but this pill could give you an extra day.  And it cost ONE MILLION DOLLARS.

not for a day

not for a month

not for an extra year unless there was a big life event coming up in that time frame.

Such as, the birth of a grandchild or one of my daughters getting married
