I have my windows open. There's a delightful breeze.

[flvegan]

I think I'll go have a beer out on my porch after I feed the animals.

I'll bet everyone is blissfully happy with the weather right now, right?

1. That's a little toasty for me

Here's my weather right now:


http://www.crh.noaa.gov/ifps/MapClick.php?site=GRB&llon=-88.984588&rlon=-88.299588&tlat=44.412917&blat=43.727917&map.x=169&map.y=139

[flvegan]

10. A low tonight of 2. 2 frikkin degrees!

2 is not a temperature. It's the losing team's score in a hockey game.

[huskerlaw]

2. Frankly, I'm a little chilled

they still have the air conditioner on in my office. :evilgrin:

[NV Whino]

3. Did't I hear there's a bigger breeze on it's way?

[crispini]

4. Ya know, sometimes it's really nice to have an excuse

to just stay the frack in bed all day. :) Admittedly, I was still having meetings, via conference call and internet, but still. Business clothing was not involved. :P

[southlandshari]

5. ....

:spank:

[Texasgal]

6. HA! HA!

Very FUNNY! :P

It's down to 28 degrees now... BRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

I've got my jammies on and I am getting ready to have some kaluha coffee! :)

[flvegan]

9. You need your very own

flvegan to help keep you warm.

:evilgrin:

[Texasgal]

18. Hmmm....

That could be REALLY nice.. HINT,HINT! :P

In the meantime....I'm FARKIN FREEZING!!!

[flvegan]

23. If I were in Texas

You'd be not only NOT freezing, but I'd do my damndest to ensure you were quite warm. Sweating, even.

Yup...I said it.

[Redstone]

7. Nope, you're still not going to make me jealous.

I was in Florida in December several times and it was still too damn warm and humid, middle of the winter or not.

By the way, since you're into health stuff, you may want to consider the statistics that show people living longer in places that have real seasons (not just hot and hotter). It's the truth. The theory is that when your body adapts to the changing seasons (easpecailly going from hot to cold), it's like getting a whole-body workout, and one that lasts a long time.

Redstone

[flvegan]

8. Ah, I seek not to make folks jealous

I'm just being a bit of an ass, what with the numerous weather threads.

However, you pose an interesting point about health and changing seasons. I'll bet that you're right though (no, I'll not demand a link a la GD). Having been born in Plymouth, MA and spending my life through most of my teen years in that area, I think I'm better for it.

Florida does have "seasons" but it's just not such a huge variety. We have "cold enough", "pleasant", "warm", "hot", "damn hot" and "what? am I in friggin hell? hot".

November-December is wonderful weather here, IMO.

[Redstone]

12. "Cold enough?" What's that in Florida, 75 degrees?

Funny how people acclimate. My grandfather lived 80 years in Vermont, then moved to Florida. I visited him down there two years later, and he was bitching about it being cold. It was about 70. In February.

[LeftyMom]

11. Consider yourself kicked square in your sunburnt ass

It's cold and raining and dark outside. Traffic is a nightmare and I had to go shopping.

I hate winter in Sacramento.

[flvegan]

13. Sunburn is gone already.

Part of the reward reaping of a healthy diet, I guess.

Um...could also be the vigorous workout I got today after opening my e-mail...

[LeftyMom]

14. Yay!

Here I thought you hadn't got it, since I had no reply.

[flvegan]

15. My forearm aches right now.

If that's any indication.

I think I need a transfusion.

[LeftyMom]

16. .

:wow: I can't believe you said that on the board. :blush:

[flvegan]

20. What? Clicking the mouse utilizes certain muscles

in the forearm.

Dirty modmind...

[LeftyMom]

22. Yeah, I'm sure clicking the mouse wears you out

you scrawny-assed vegan weakling you. :eyes:

[flvegan]

25. Well....okay

sometimes, they have other, um...duties demanded of them.

I'll never view a bathroom door the same way again.

[Redstone]

19. Whoa.

Is it getting warm in the Lounge, or is that just me?

Nah, it's not just me. There's definitely heat radiating off some of the people in this place...

Redstone

[flvegan]

21. I blame LeftyMom

Whole lotta heat there...

[LeftyMom]

24. I wish

I'm freezing my ample vegan ass off.

[flvegan]

30. Ample?

Perfect, IMO.

[LeftyMom]

36. Well I've got a bit more on the bottom than I do on the top

I was a teeny bit bottom-heavy pre-LeftyKid and wound up gaining a little poundage on the end where I didn't really need it when I had him. Glad you like what you see all the same. :D

[Redstone]

27. You would blame her, wouldn't you.

I'd likely do the same under the circumstances...

It's a guy thing, isn't it? As Lenny Bruce said, it's kind of a universal excuse for guys: "I couldn't help it; I got hot."

And there's another great part of that particular monologue that goes: "Let the chicken make your dinner!"

If you're not familiar with Lenny Bruce, you should be. You'd like him, I know it.

Redstone

[flvegan]

29. If you

had seen what I've seen...

And yes, I'm a big fan of Lenny Bruce. I believe Dr. Dimento introduced me to his comedy a couple decades ago.

Once again, in agreement.

[Redstone]

35. And surprisingly on this one, because you're so much younger

than I am. Lenny Bruce was part and parcel of us children of the 1950s and '60s; it's damn good to hear that people your age know about him.

I guess that real humor, and real truth, are timeless.

So you know "Let the chicken cook ya dinnah," yes?

Redstone

[Redstone]

28. Winter in Sacramento? SACRAMENTO?

You don't know what winter is if you live in Sacramento.

You haven't the first clue.

Redstone

[LeftyMom]

32. Hey, it snows here

Sure it's once every ten years or so and it doesn't stick but it's snow damn it! Nah, we know what winter is here, we go up to the mountains to experience it for some crazy reason and usually pay for the privilege.

[Redstone]

39. But you don't understand. If you have to DRIVE to see winter, that

automatically revokes your license to complain about winter.

Capisce?

Redstone

[LeftyMom]

40. But it's cold!

It's not like I moved here from someplace with real cold and got used to the climate here. I'm from Sacramento. I think 105 is a perfectly reasonable summertime temperature, I'll go tow my son in his trailer in that sort of heat. I wear pants when it's 85 and long sleeves when it's below 80. When it's 33, I sleep under three blankets with polartec ski pants on.

To me, it's fucking cold out right now

[Redstone]

42. 33. I laugh at your 33. We ride bikes here, and put the convertible top

down at 33.

And I can prove it. Here's how we brought the Christmas tree home last year:



Redstone

[LeftyMom]

43. That is crazy

said LeftyMom, drawing the throw blanket tigher about her shoulders at the thought.

[miss_american_pie]

17. Delighted to be getting snow

The baby will get his first snowman.

:)

[Redstone]

31. Cool. Nothing like a little kid, looking like the Michelin Man

in his / her big old puffy snowsuit, staggering around the yard in a foot of snow, falling on his / her face every six steps, building a "snow man" that resembles nothing more than a lump with a couple of sticks protruding from it...

Treasure these moments, MAP; they don't last forever.

Redstone

[miss_american_pie]

33. And how they always look up with their tongues out

but I could do without hearing "I gotta go pee" 30 seconds after we get outside.

[Redstone]

38. Get used to it. It's one of those universal kid things. But can you

blame them? They have to wait through the 45 minutes of getting into the snow suit beforehand, after all.

Kids are great. Little kids are greatest of all. Enjoy it while you can.

Redstone

[I Have A Dream]

26. You'd BETTER hide, flvegan! This is NOT how to win friends and...

influence people! :spank:

Every year I ask myself why I continue to live in these conditions 5 months out of the year.

[hickman1937]

44. I ask myself that every july and august.

I've actually thought about pricing homes in northern Canada, but I don't like sub zero.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

34. Nice. But if I make one crack about hurricanes

in Florida, then I get blasted.

I see how it goes.

[Err]

37. It's fun to sit in a cool breeze naked...

on a hot summer day.

[Deja Q]

41. 19 above. I'll open my windows too.

Won't need to air condition the PCs. :7
