Re: winter can kiss my still big ass

[Guest guest]

People say I'm full of hot air....does that help? LOL

I remember YEARS ago when it snowed, we went to school (.)<<-- thats a

period. IF, and a big IF we missed a day during the week, we went a

half a day on Saturday. Teachers didn't take a day off every other

week for a work day either. Nowadays, if one tiny flake falls they

close schools and the kids end up going to school way into June. We

always started AFTER Labor Day and ALWAYS got out in May until about

my junior year in high school, I ended up graduating on the 8th of

June (YEARS ago mind you).

I will drive in snow, but I will NOT drive in ice. If you have bad

weather to send this way (Virginia), PLEASE send 2 feet of snow,

anything less or anything a mess KEEP IT !!!! LOL

Stay warm.

Folks in the office here are saying that the ice will stop soon. It's

very windy out too. They seem to be saying that it will start to snow

and that there will be 6+ inches before the evening. Yeah that snow

on top of the ice is going to help driving out a whole lot.

Poor Mike in GR , Not to be a smart A@@ but I wish I had some cold

weather, I am sitting here with my window open enjoying the breezy 72

deg. weather on the 1st on December and it's only 10am. I am

originally from NY so it kinda sucks to me. Keep warm !

I got lucky....the bad weather didn't make it as far east as Howell. I

did have what looked like itty bitty hail coming down on me this

morning and the trees were coated with ice. Thank goodness the roads

weren't icy. I really needed to go to work today.

I already miss the warmish weather. I was walking about 3 miles a day.

It will be a challenge to get in my exercise now.

Hi Mike, I saw where you guys were having ice storms and there was a wide loss

of electricity. I sure hope that doesnt include you! Hugs, .

I love walking in the winter. I'm asking for a new mask for Christmas

(http://tinyurl.com/vqy3j ) and I've got some new waterproof Rockport

boots coming soon. If you'd like advice on walking in the winter I

can help. Most of my walking is urban which means sometimes it's a

bit clearer although sporadically than rural areas. I think I need a

parka too but the leather coat would work with a sweater, oxford and

t-shirt on underneath I suppose.

Nope. I live downtown in the second largest city so usually am pretty

cool. I say usually because hey there's only so much you can do

against this sort of thing and I do live in an area that is all old

houses so maybe that's a factor.

That being said I think the longest I've been without power is a day

and a half. Usually I can go to my parents who live very close unless

they don't have power too. That's really rare. They seem to lose

power more than I do.

Also, we seem to lose power during light winds more often than major

ice and snow, etc. So weird.

It can get damned cold very fast with no heat though. Losing power

even in this last storm would have gotten cold fast but nothing that

a sweater, blankets and sweats couldn't deal with. When it's below

10F you start to worry about your plumbing freezing if the power is

out more than a day.

Being downtown we seem to get faster fix times from the power company

too.

Well it's official, all the

major schools in the metro area are closed.

Hi Mike,

The thing I worry about the most is stepping on something slippery and

falling on my @ss. I've broken/sprained my foot twice in the last few

years: once by missing a step on the stairs and once by stepping on

the edge of a pallet and slipping off of it. Face it, I'm a real

clutz. I also slipped on ice back in Texas and cracked my tailbone.

Talk about uncomfortable and a little embarassing. I just have a thing

about falling. Going down stairs bothers me more than going up.

I walked 3 miles the other day when it was 37F out and didn't even

wear a coat. I get hot very easily and never wear anything heavier

than a fleece jacket. I imagine that will change soon so I might need

some advice. I do have a men's barn coat which might work OK for this

winter. I'll have to find it though. Hopefully next winter it will be

WAY too big.

And no oh so subtle digs about east Michigan. I'm in Howell and we get

it a little more than the Detroit area. But we do miss out on the lake

effect snow.

Yup...hit the malls. I think I'm going to do that with my kids this

winter especially when the weather is bad. Gosh I just don't know how

I'm going to get my 14 year old daughter to go to the mall with me

though. Cha right.

Nah I was joking. She wouldn't care who takes her to the mall so long

as she gets there. She doesn't even mind me " shopping " with her. I

did get lectured last time though that since we didn't spend any

money it was a horrible experience.

She did ask me to go into one shop to look for something like a shirt

or something I don't remember what but I refused. I told her that

never, ever, ever, would she and I be in that store at the same time.

She needed to just accept that now. It was, of course, 's

Secret.
