Just think, if you were up here in the Frozen North, you could have dry skin and straw hair like we do! [img]tongue.gif[/img] LOL

Had a so so day- work was busy and this cold is doing it's best to keep me from being awake, but I'm home now and thinking of getting some extra sleep for a change.

Aw, well don't be too jealous of them; they live around Phoenix LOL. Weather up that way just far too hot in the summer months.
We aren't spared the dry skin here but straw hair is definitely something I can do without! I tried some organic conditioner today - feels like I gave my head a hot wax LOL!
I saw temps up your way today are bitterly cold. I hope you are staying warm.
A good day for hot apple pie and ice cream maybe? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well, the verdict is in...dancing is surprisingly fun...fun enough for a stuffy guy like me to have fun with it for nearly two hours straight last night...

Cloudbringer · 01-28-2005, 12:51 PM

Violet, our high is supposed to be near 15 F today and we started at MINUS 15 F... so...brrrrr! My folks winter in Arizona and for the hottest part of summer they've been going to their camp up in New England, so they don't deal with the really hot Phoenix weather if they can help it!

Dace, sorry about your hampster.

LOL@Wellard's post to TDC... *snicker*

Happy Home Owning, TDC!

MINUS 15 OMG!
We got a break in the rain today with temps to hit the mid to upper 60's.
Tomorrow the rain returns and the temps should drop about 10 degrees.
Nothing near minus 15. I feel for you.
It's my turn to be jealous. [img]smile.gif[/img] I've been trying to get Steve to invest in some New England property for the last 6 or 7 years but he just won't budge. He fears ocean storms and the cost of recovery/loss. We should have never seen The Day After Tomorrow LOL because ever since then his firm "No" has turned absolutely concrete.

Well, I'm done with my only class today, which was a waste anyways, but: YAY!!! Weekend is finally here! I'm homebound, again! WOOT!! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Aww, tell your husband he doesn't need to be ON the coast to have a nice place... but even so, you can find some that aren't right on the high tide line! LOL My parents' camp is actually a really fancy trailer (with kitchen, living room,bath, master bedroom,sattelite tv and screen porch, no less ) and they keep it at a site on a gorgeous lake that's never swamped them yet!

Ilander · 01-28-2005, 02:55 PM

ick! -15 degrees F is a lousy place to be! I personally complain at anything below 40!

I'm with Cloudy on this one...don't live in a floodplain! It stinks! I've been in that position, and while rising water doesn't always hit your home, it can take away some mobility!

We have cold weather too. It's -18°C in the morning and -5°C during the day. It sucks big time. But we have no snow. Nothing. Zilch. Zero. So I don't actually have a feeling that it's "winter". It's just so very cold.

Ivelliis · 01-28-2005, 04:55 PM

Hey all. Just got in from a night of walking around the streets in the rain, kicking a football.
How fun.
But I'm going paintballing tomorrow

I'm going to try and use the "Marshell, my gun is quite tricky to pump, mind if I have a semi-automatic?" I'm one of three teenagers going with about 10 adults.
Advice I've got so far: Lots of layers, and a cricket cup...

Pity I don't have a cricket cup :'(

Where in AZ do you live, Violet? I have friends in Phoenix and Flagstaff, and actually stayed with the Flagstaff lot. Very pretty there.
