Exactly!! And, i like Gina Corral and her insidious traffic reports. Little flashing cones are adorable, but menacing.

he is a tad over-the-top... but I nevertheless watch him daily in the hopes that he will soon reveal his boyfriend's secret identity (I'm guessing Karl Bierach or Som Lisaius)...

the weather man reminds me of Edwards, if he were on crack. The hair, the teeth, the over the top flamboyant hand exaggerations.

Is this the kind of bonding you were looking for? (wipes the tears away!)

Seriously, LOL. Laugh out loud funny, Merry. Of
course that helps. Because all I do is sit around thinking "What would Peter Jennings sound like if he were female?" hehehehehehe. You funny lady. For the record, I sound a lot like Clint Eastwood, but female. I feel we have made a breakthrough here.

Ca88andra-
This guy is ridiculous, I wish I could aptly describe him; he is like
the happiest fella about weather, and he really does have silly white teeth, I am mezmerized. I seems to live in a suit and simply
loves (wildly gesticulating at map
) monsoon season.. odd little man.

I have not idea....
I can't hear my own accent. Like I told Inherent Rights - I sound like Peter Jennings (except of course I'm a girl). Does that help?

That is a better idea...
given the general health around your house this past week! :) And that way I can omit the nuts here and avoid picking them out when the brownies arrive. PS- Do you speak with that stereotypical Candian "aoooot" for "out"? Just curious, I don't know many Canadians.

I can do cups and teaspoons
but not pints. Although I noticed that a cup is equal to half a pint last night. I cooked. Anyway, please forward some brownies to the good ol' US for a QA on the DL... what the hell am I doing? Send me food!!!

In Canada
Imperial is cups, pints, teaspoons etc. Baking is bread, muffins, cookies, My very own special Killer Turtle Brownies, etc.

Just when I think that you and I are bonding... you go and toss the metric system in my face. Can I help that we americans have our heads so far up our arses that we cannot change? We are a country built on ... well, dirt I think... and we do not like change. Stupid metric system...calculations.... carrying numbers... long division.. it's all crap. hehehehe. We do have stamps with Elvis Presley on them, though...

I do have a theory why women are colder than men...it has to do with perpetuation of the specis...some other time.

If I didn't have a sense of humor I'd have no sense at all... or something like that.... my body temperature is lower than most at 97.4 all the time, and it drops after I eat. hehehe, I think I will announce to my family my new name is Iguanamom -what an awesome name! Maybe I am part alien... anywho, back to the fire...

ISN...
Sympathy isn't what you need. What you need is circulation! That's how it works for us warm blooded creatures. Our blood is 98.6 degrees, it courses through our body supplying heat to our extremities. My mom is like you, a reptile...I call her Iguanamom because I think her blood only moves when it wants to and even it's not warm until she gets done sunning herslef on the rock out in the yard.
ps...thanks for having a sense of humor.

you could have just said you didn't want to go out... jeeeeez, inventing reasons to call me an alien and frighten me with cold weather stories is unwarranted. hehehe. I knew you'd comment on this one; you seem the hearty clam chowder eating type :) Thanks for continuing to read even though you have ceased to give sympathy :)

Well, I'm in the white ghetto (Flowing Wells), so if we get snow, most people here would eat it just to say they had a meal.

ISN...I'm trying real hard, but
I am finding it very difficult to feel sorry for you. Reading your post was like reading something written by an alien who lives on mercury...that I could understand, but 55 degrees???? C'mom that's still considered balmy in my neck of the woods. It's refreshing! It's funny because just today I was telling someone that my favorite weather is 65 degrees and overcast. Sun annoys the hell out of me. This summer was miserable, getting over 90 every day for like two months straight...I was seriously considering moving to Alaska. So just
SUCK IT UP!!! And remember it's not cold until you have to plug your car up to a block heater every night.

PS: I'm listening to "Frosty the Snowman" in an attempt to feel cool by singing a cold song.
