I can't wait for spring
Its too fucking cold out! Yesterday leaving work a bunch of us walked out together and as soon as the door opened we all gasped because we were hit in the face with a very icy wind that went straight through you!
This morning is a little less windy but still very cold. What an odd winter its been..very cold, yet very little snow or ice here..keeps seem to miss us.
I can't wait for it to warm up ....x(

1. Me either!
I'm finding myself getting angry at temperature.

I'm supposedly in "The South," yet it's often colder here than in the "Bitter Northeast."

8 degrees when I woke.

C'mon SPRING!

:cry:

12. Heidelberg.
My family is full of names like Frederick, Elsa, Erna, and Isabel.

Thanks for the offer, sweetie. If I were ever to head out there, I would want to do it during Oktoberfest. My cousin, Nick, was stationed out there for a couple of years, and he said that Oktoberfest was the most awesome experience! :)

14. Heidelberg isn't too far from where I live
:)

Now the Oktoberfest ... never been there and I don't think I ever will. Too many people, too many drunk people.

17. That is a good way of thinking about it
:rofl:

Maybe I am just too old already to enjoy drinking so much beer. I mean I can hold onto a bottle of beer a whole night. How am I supposed to drink a Maas????

18. Well, that's just it!
We go and buy a beer or two, and then just kick back and people-watch. Therein lies the fun! :rofl:

3. Nope, I'm a winter person. Stay away, Spring and Summer!!!
I love cold weather and hate the summer heat. I lived in South Florida most of my life and was sick of year-round summer. Now live in North Georgia where the weather is perfect except for the few months of summer.

4. I feel the same way.
It has just been way too cold. :scared:

And I really can't afford $500 a month to keep the house at 64 degrees :banghead:

I hope spring gets here soon... :pals:

Cold, windy, damp. At least it's sunny today.

And Justin had the opportunity to hum "The Flight of the Valkyrie" again this morning. You know why. :eyes:

11. There's an easy 250-300 of them on the field across the road right now.
When you open the door, you can hear them loud and clear. They've been here for quite awhile, so your chances are good that they'll still be here when you get here. Lucky me! :eyes:

26. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Honest to God, I could use the phrases "bunker busters" "scud missiles" and "shock and awe treatment" to describe what they're doing out there. :rofl:

All I can say is that it's a good thing that they are absolutely beautiful creatures.

23. Yep.
The GM is in trouble. Looks like him and Jose Rijo (one of the front office guys) may have been skimming money off of Dominican Republic prospects..x( :banghead:
This is the ex-Reds GM and my dad warned me he wasn't the most trustworthy guy...
