We're expecting 2-4 inches of snow tomorrow, that should be good for 12-15 hours.

It's funny how much people forget history.
We've been without a refrigerator since the 20th. People ask, "How can you possibly survive?"
"Oh, woe is me! If I only had a huge, insulated box into which I could place ice that would keep my food cold. Oh, wait..."
Is anyone else around here old enough to remember when refrigerators were called "Ice boxes"?
They were called that for a reason, y'know.
But hoo boy is it going to be nice to have a REAL fridge again! The fridge was so big that the ice kept it at only 58 degrees. Would have been better off keeping it outdoors, except for the raccoons...

When we went through security at the airport, Teensy Valeros saw us pulling our id's out of our wallets, pulled a Salazar Slytherin chocolate frog card out of his pocket, and handed it to the TSA agent.
The agent played along. It was awesome.

I'm going to say, my best airport security stories are all out of Texas. From running through Dallas International like O.J. Simpson (tie and all) to having an agent catch me with a full-sized Leatherman and say, "Oh, if that were mine I wouldn't want to lose it! Let me escort you over to the checked baggage so you can put it in there where it's safe," they've always been remarkably pleasant.
We always had an extra freezer, on account of butchering our own meat.

Hey guys, quick question.
Whom among you would fight a saber tooth tiger wearing a robotic exoskeleton for me?
Said saber tooth tiger may have had up to 5 energy drinks.
Asking for a friend.

I survived over a half of a year, three times with the fridge being turned off most of the time? (well, the third time was after the fridge was threw away and the friends moved out taking their fridge with them).
The last time might have been a year...
Also, I survived almost 39 years by following a strict code of avoiding fights with saber-tooth tigers...

My mother has an ice box she inherited from her parents. Only thing I've ever seen it filled with is dinnerware and dry foodstuffs tho.

That's really really awesome. Would I be young enough to get away with that, but it wouldn't fly =(
Ask the said agent if he's watched crimes of Grinderwald yet? =D

TS, I think he meant that the saber tooth tiger was wearing a robotic exoskeleton and not you get to wear a robotic exoskeleton to fight it?

I assume that exoskeleton is when we have an open frame walker. If it is built over with properly armored plates, then it is powered armor instead.

BACk in my DAYS we had Ice boxes and we were proud of em!
:D
Or Scottland.Don't be silly. There's no such place as Georgia. It'd be like calling a country Keithistan, or Brianland.French Canadian?...
As I am neither Welsh nor Australian, I'm not sure I can.
South African?
I know I'll figure out your accent eventually.
Keep going!!!
Great-Grandpa Longears was in South Africa, but only while the Boer War was on. Grandpa Longears was nearby in WWII, but by the time he'd learned to fly bombers, that particular conflict was over. And that is the end of Longears hearing drums echo in the night, so far as I know.
I'll put you out of your misery.
My actual name is Lymatekatevan Longeshetamyrat, and I am a proud son of the most noble nation of Armenia.
Are you sure? That sounds Georgian to me.
Of course, I'm referring to the southern US state of Georgia. Not the country in the Caucasus.
Williamsburg?
Vidtopia?Williamsburg?...
Or Scottland.
GRANd springs?
... Also who told you about Vidtopia!
Oh wait its grand Springs because gran does not obey normal laws of capitalization.

There's a scene in the children of prophecy by David Eddings, where Relg earthglides Silk out of a cave and Silk is one blubbering mess, saying something along the lines of, "Don't ever do that to me again", and they're like next to an enemy encampment. Doesn't stop him from doing it.
Keladry in Lady Knight sneaks into enemy territory to rescue her people but that doesn't stop her from having a conversation with Irma the child seer while in said enemy territory.
Darkwind, Elspeth and Firesong are in disguise trying to get to the capital of Haldorn to assassinate Ancar, the evil monarch. Doesn't stop them from remarking on the sad state of the land.
Nah. I'm slow. Says so in my profile.Fair enough. How about granD Rapids?Oh wait its grand Springs because gran does not obey normal laws of capitalization.I might allow granD Springs.
So wait are you a monkey king or are you just looking for one?
Poor silk. He doesn't like small enclosed spaces and phasing through a mountain is about as extreme that way as you get.
I am the monkey king. Look at me.So wait are you a monkey king or are you just looking for one?Nah. I'm slow. Says so in my profile.Fair enough. How about granD Rapids?Oh wait its grand Springs because gran does not obey normal laws of capitalization.I might allow granD Springs.

Have a half day on new year's eve so I ran 3 km and swam 10 laps. Swimming in a 3m pool(throughout) is intimidating at first. Since usually I swim in pools that are 1.2m at the side and slope to 2m in the middle.
So you know you need to do those 10 laps continously, no stops in between. Took me 50 min to do it. Oh well I'm not exactly fast.
But I feel good about myself now =)
Does colder water affect your breath stamina? Usually for breaststroke I swim 3 cycles before changing breath, freestyle two, but was down to 2 cycles for breaststroke and single cycle for freestyle today. Yes, indoor swimming pools here are colder then outdoor ones.

Oh here's the funny thing. For swimmers in the competition pool, lifeguards are allowed to give anyone who they suspect of not being profecient in swimming a swimming test. Well, I am proficient it's just a matter of how fast you were expecting me to swim... Less then 5 min per lap? Forget it. I paddle along at my own sweet pace.

Water is actually denser when its cold. So denser water = more effort.
