Holy fuck, it's cold outside.

[LeftyMom]

My feet are freezing. Stupid winter. x( It got down to 31 last night. At this rate we'll probably have one of those winters where it gets below freezing and all sorts of stupid shit happens because nobody in Sacramento knows how to wrap a pipe.

[flvegan]

1. "Stupid winter"

:rofl:

[LeftyMom]

3. About how I said it, too.

[RetroLounge]

2. "nobody in Sacramento knows how to wrap a pipe"

No Sex Threads!

:D

RL

[LeftyMom]

4. But I know how to do THAT!

With my mouth even!

/skillz

[RetroLounge]

10. ...

:wow:

RL

[LeftyMom]

13. I iz teh awesome.

:D

And I cook too.

poor flvegan, I don't know how he manages to put up with me.

[RetroLounge]

14. Put up with you?

I wanna know why he hasn't moved his pit-bull-saving ass to Cali where he belongs...

:shrug:

RL

[LeftyMom]

17. Work.

And I have free school here (actually, I make a few grand on it after financial aid,) while I'd pay out-of-state rates there.

So neither one of us is moving cross-country any time soon. That's the shitty thing about being all grown up, having to think long term and be responsible. Kinda sucks, but we both have responsibilities.

[GOPisEvil]

18. You speak truth.

Responsibilities are teh suX0r! Hopefully, we can actually start living together mid-2008. :)

[LeftyMom]

20. I don't think we can 'till I graduate.

Oh well, we're big kids and we can deal. :)

[GOPisEvil]

21. Yeah, it's amazing what you'll put up with for the right person.

:D

She would already be here if not for the 19-year-old she took in. That hasn't gone as we planned, and although it was the right thing to do, it's hard not thinking about the alternative. Thank goodness for credit, the occasional cheap airfare and airline miles.

[RetroLounge]

22. Yeah, responsibilities are crazy adult bullshit

but there they are...

and I gots them in spades, else, well, yeah, i'd be packing up myself...

RL

[huskerlaw]

5. Yeah it is!

Current temp in my apartment = 55 degrees.

A'course, it might help if I closed the windows. :think:

[LeftyMom]

8. That might help.

:D

[Gormy Cuss]

6. Yeah, I don't like the way this season is starting.

Last year the December frosts killed off a bunch of my plants and damaged many others. (I noes about insulation, so freezing pipes aren't a problem for us.)

We need rain this winter.

[LeftyMom]

7. Yeah, we haven't had any real good rain yet.

A couple of sort of half-assed storms that screwed up traffic but didn't really put much water down.

Kinda late for the rain to start.

And some clouds would keep the temperature up a bit.

[Mr. Blonde]

9. I know what you mean

Here in Oklahoma, it was 80 degrees on Tuesday and on Friday we got 3.5 inches of snow.

I believe it was Will Rogers who said, "If you don't like the weather in Oklahoma just wait a minute and it will change." And it remains a very true statement.

[Ellen Forradalom]

11. We said that in Chicago too

[GOPisEvil]

12. We say it here in Texas, too.

High Wednesday was 89, Wednesday evening it was in the 40s.

[LeftyMom]

16. Not here.

The saying here is that we don't have weather, we have climate.

Y'know those nature shows on the savanna where it's dry for months and months and the ground gets all dry and cracked and then the rainy season comes and the sky opens up and it rains for a week straight? That's what Sacramento's like.

[quip]

15. boo hoo.

We're lucky here if we reach 31 for our HIGH temperature. Just sayin'

But we know how to blow insulation. :hi:

[LeftyMom]

19. We have a foot of blow-in in the attic and r-14 rolled over that. A lot for here.

Most of the houses here are on concrete slabs, so when the pipes freeze and then thaw and leak, they leak down through the ceiling. Which is kinda problematic. Especially when so many people have no clue where to shut off their water. :rofl:

[Blue_In_AK]

23. I wish we'd get some of that cold weather...

It's been in the 40s here all week and all the snow is melted. Alaska should NOT have green lawns at the end of November. This is just too weird.

[LeftyMom]

24. Okay, that's a bit scary.

:wow:

[Blue_In_AK]

25. Yes, it is.

We did have about eight inches of snow on the ground, but it's almost all gone now and the grass is indeed green. I still have a couple of remaining little cabbages and kale in my garden that I didn't harvest, and they look like they never stopped growing. I have violas still blooming in my flowerbed.

It's not unheard of here to have warm spells during the winter (Chinook winds, our version of the Santa Ana), but they usually come a little later, often in January.

[SPKrazy]

26. cold here too!

brrr

43 now, but it's been drizzly all day and supposed to get down in the 30's tonight

[rainbow4321]

27. In Dallas we have the annual "breaking news" :

Idiotic news people EVERY year soon as it drops below 40: "Don't miss our next report, we'll tell you how to keep warm". Uuuuhhhhh..maybe dig out the sweaters we put away last year? Grab a coat as you leave the house? Not exactly worthy of breaking news!
Scary thing is, there are people around here who need these news reports... 37 degrees/rainy today, I was having a cigarette outside the mall and this guy came up to the area in his short sleeved, thin t-shirt rubbing his arms/shivering and says to me "days like today they need to have an INdoor smoking area".

[Blue_In_AK]

28. Did you know that on Thanksgiving Day

it was warmer in Anchorage than it was in Dallas? I just checked "time and temperature" -- it's 37 here, too, today. Feels warm to us, cold to you. :)

[barb162]

29. It was sleeting here a few hours ago

and it's been down in the 20s the last few nights. yuck...plus I am still raking leaves

[insanity]

30. I'm freezing whats left of my ass off

I just got back home after a nice Thanksgiving in my warm ass parent's house. I get to my house and its cold and empty. Now its warming up to a pleasant 40

[Hand]

31. Insh'Allah. nt
