I'm still really liking the newest Conan movie!
I'm going to bed before I engage in one of the political threads.
"No one should live in slavery!"
That's... A rather odd progression of thoughts, bt.
As evidenced by my nudity.
ITS SNOWING!!!!!!!!
Snow done here. Thankfully not enough to warrant shoveling at 2am
It..stopped?
Only used once...What a rip off! What did they do, use it as a hockey puck or something?

No snow here. (No surprise here in Lousy-Anna.)
So yesterday was nice enough, I finally got around to getting together my kids injury machine, I mean trampoline, that they got for Christmas.
No snow here either (thank God) though some predicted (20% chance) for Thursday.

The snow is a pain, but it was the ice this morning that was a killer. There were an awful lot of cars off the road. An SUV four cars ahead of me lost control and skidded into the concrete Jersey barrier. Fortunately, as a hardened upstate NY driver, I was leaving appropriate braking distance and had no trouble stopping to avoid a pile-up.

Yay, injury machine!
In my neighborhood, that was the big wheel with the lever you could pull to make it spin out.

We got a decent amount of snow yesterday, but it's so cold that it's the light and fluffy kind. Yay for not too slippery roads! Glad it was snowing yesterday when I didn't have to go anywhere and not today when I have lots of places to go. Roads and sidewalks are all cleared already. :)
Also, I love living in an apartment. I think this every time it snows. I don't have to shovel the driveway! *does happy no shoveling dance*
Yesterday evening I went for a shopping and discovered that whole worlds is covered in a thin sheet of icing. It looked great on snow but on walks it was terriblly slick. Temperature was justa bit below freezing so the water that poured from sky earlier frozen. Icy-icy-icysness everywhere. Getting to shop was quite troubling.
*does happy no shoveling dance*
That dance is salacious and tawdry and just WRONG!

See, this is one of those reasons I always prefer warm weather over cold. G*+&*~n ice can make it dangerous to even get to your car.
So I can only conclude that people who love cold weather want to see me hurt.

What is that caffeine everyone speaks about?Caffeine is a wonderful gift given to mankind by mysterious and otherworldly powers. It's almost as good as bacon, beer, and Popeyes.There is a popeye's about a 5 minute walk from my office.
Why aren't you in Houston again?
:P
Sadly I have two very decent reasons at the moment:
(a) Housing market sucks ass and I'd probably get hosed selling my place here.
(b) More importantly, in a crappy economy, I currently have a very safe job.
Paperboys fall badly enough (due to slipping) to not be able to do their work 7 times more often than the Swedish average.
Well, duh!
Didn't sleep much last night. Too excited about RPG SS.

Morning, all. What did I miss?
LOVELY SNOW!!!
December 8 6:00 PM
It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses print. So romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!
December 9
We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the whole world? Moving here was the best idea I've ever had!
Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life!
December 12
The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment! My neighbor tells me not to worry- we'll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see snow again. I don't think that's possible. Bob is such a nice man, I'm glad he's our neighbor.
December 14
Snow, lovely snow! 8 inches last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life! The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn't realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I'll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish I wouldn't huff and puff so.
December 15
20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife's car and 2 extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that's silly. We aren't in Alaska, after all.
December 16
Ice storm this morning. Fell on my ass on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very cruel.
December 17
Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere. Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to her. God I hate it when she's right. I can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own living room.
December 20
Electricity is back on, but had another 14 inches of the damn stuff last night. More shoveling! Took all day. The damn snowplow came by twice. Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said they're too busy playing hockey. I think they're lying.
Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they're out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they're lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he's lying.
December 22
Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of the white s@&@ fell today, and it's so cold, it probably won't melt till August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had to piss. By the time I got undressed, pissed and dressed again. I was too tired to shovel. Tried to hire Bob who has a plow on his truck for the rest of the winter, but he says he's too busy. I think the a@%~&*# is lying.
December 23
Only 2 inches of snow today. And it warmed up to 0. The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What is she, nuts?!! Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago? She says she did but I think she's lying.
December 24
6 inches - Snow packed so hard by snowplow, I broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the son of a b+&&% who drives that snow plow, I'll drag him through the snow by his balls and beat him to death with my broken shovel. I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then he comes down the street at 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over where I've just been! Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents, but I was too busy watching for the damn snowplow.
December 25
Merry f---ing Christmas! 20 more inches of the damn slop tonight - Snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. God, I hate the snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she's a f%!$ing idiot. If I have to watch 'It's A Wonderful Life' one more time, I'm going to stuff her into the microwave.
December 26
Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She's really getting on my nerves.
December 27
Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze; plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him, he only charged me $1,400 to replace all my pipes.
December 28
Warmed up to above -20. Still snowed in. The B*+@~ is driving me crazy!!!
December 29
10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?
December 30
Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plow driver, and now he is suing me for a million dollars, not only for the beating I gave him, but also for trying to shove the broken snow shovel up his ass. The wife went home to her mother. Nine more inches predicted.
December 31
I set fire to what's left of the house. No more shoveling.
January 8
Feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed?
hi everyone,
skiing is good, it was mildly snowing the whole day but not that much, that it would be a problem while skiing
Sabine had a breakthrough day, it is only her second skiing holiday, learning can be not much fun (and rather painfull) today she is happy, and so am I
and Huzzzah for Austrian Food: Germknödel, Kaiserschmarrn, Apfelstrudel and hmmmmmmm Almdudler, the best soda on the planet

That's utter poppycock.
Almdudler rocks.
I wonder if there is bacon soda to be had.
See you... be safe. Last one to post wins will be waiting for you.
Germknödel, Kaiserschmarrn

*drools on the lightning gun she fell asleep over*
Yeah, you BETTER run, Spelljammer....
Whu, yeah?
Funny how I feel energetic for a few minutes, then really tired afterwards only for the cycle to repeat...
Wow, I was feeling quite enthused this morning...then sat back down at my desk.....zzzzz
Have a good one everybody.
Well, I'll say one thing for working outdoors in sub-zero temperatures, it really, really make you finish your tasks faster. Time for some "ostkaka" and then a good number of zeds.
