the best thing about this cold weather is -fill in the blank-

I'll go first.


The best thing about this cold weather is I can unplug the regrigerator and leave the door open.

lawns. hate 'em.

mowing. hate it worse.

If I want something warm to wriggle my toes in, I'll get a girlfriend.

(of course, around here it often seems as tho it does...)

soon you'll have to move to Europe to see snow, once the saline pumps shut down in the North Sea and the Gulf Stream ends and the Ice Age starts in Europe.

:thumbsup: !!

(he was trying to get some snow off the roof to throw at me.)

"i don't need to heat the great outdoors," i told him.

"it is the responsibility of every american to contribute to global warming," he responded, before rolling up the window and proceeding to toss snow at me.

later in the day, i told him to wheel the trash barrel out. i noted that it was not as full as it usually is. he said i was shirking my duties - that it is my responsibilty to help all the landfills in the country reach full capacity!

yeah, he's a smart*ss. but he has a great, albeit sarcastic, grasp of the ills of the world.

next weeks goals - drive as little as possible (the trip with the global warming comment could easily have been walked) and even less trash to wheel out (tho this may be his ultimate goal - he is a teenager, and taking out the trash is his responsibilty ;-) )

you can't see the Wastikas.

(you know, before it gets all brown and slushy).

We just had our first snow storm in DC and it looks like that now. :-)

time to shut everything down for a week!

y'know what they need to do in the DC metro area with all the money they spend for road maintainence and snow removal? they need to send some people somewhere that gets real snow and learn how to effectively remove snow! i used to love they way they would praise the "snow fighters" for having the highways clear, all the while ignoring the fact that all the snow had been plowed into mountains on the entries/exits - so no one could get on the highways anyway!! :eyes:

having said that, i do kinda miss that a snowfall = a day off (at least a day ;-) )

with the snow looking like powdered sugar. :-)

plus, it hides the mystery bodily fluid stains on the sidewalk.

Great stuff snow.

:shrug:

I'm clumsy as hell sometimes.

I live right up against the Rockies, so I'm pretty used to big snowstorms.

I find it amazing to visit Nashville or DC or other places where an inch or two, or even the threat of an inch or two paralyzes the whole city. Nashville is hysterical when it snows.

Try Dallas.

:eyes:

People here think they're bulletproof as long as they're in an SUV. reprehensor's from Canada, and even HE hates driving around these psychos.

DC shuts down for a day . . .

they less they can fuck up.

Snow it up, baby, snow it up.

On edit: Deleted typo in Subject line.

at least a little

and would give us one less day of reprehensible tax cuts for the wealthy.

Let it snow.

So true.

Schools close, offices shut down, supermarkets sell out of milk, bread and beer, roads are jammed...

And that's just with a FORECAST of snow!

My evening gig was cancelled, but I had morning and afternoon rehearsals in Rockville yesterday.

Being a die-hard Beltway avoider, I drove home along Beach Drive, then around the Mormon Temple, then through Sligo Creek Park. Everything was gorgeous! :)

It's much cuter irl.

where is your flag pin?

why do you hate Murka?

And I bet it does look better IRL. :evilgrin:

Oh.

it's an overcoat.

Well- minus the animated head, anyway.

It's part of a new line of clothes by "the emperor." There is also a big-bird costume soon to be worn by someone whose name will remain anonymous, but who may appear on the following billboard:

sent my wife and i two tickets to spend the holidays with her in Ft. Lauderdale.:woohoo:

kids these days.

If she really loved you, she'd have given you tickets to St. Thomas.






(seriously, that rocks! :thumbsup:)

young adult.:bounce:

we will.:woohoo:

i don`t shovel snow..so i pretty much don`t have to go outside to do anything at all!

share in winter's bounty.

there's not much that's redeeming about the cold weather around here (which is hovering at around -32C/-26F with the windchill)...

:evilgrin:

and the "elections"

and scorpions go beddy-by for a few months.

in flannel sheets.

:loveya:

:bounce:

Without them, the hot water circuit was broken, and only one room on the second floor had heat.

:rofl:

:scared:

:-)

:shrug:

Unless you consider 50 degrees to be "cold" in which case, I suppose it happens to me. :evilgrin:

won't stink so bad until it warms up.

:evilgrin:

Shrinkage.

We seemed to have an unusually bad problem with them around the house we just bought this spring. So I'm dern glad to be rid of 'em, at least temporarily.

MS kept me inside ALL summer. The 100 plus degree temperatures completely immobilized me.

This is the first time in my life I have liked cold weather, and I'm now coming to love it.
