Sounds like ****, Ginya. Actually, it sounds like Ottawa.

****, Michigan...just north of here

I feel your pain Ginya... I am next door in Wisconsin. We haven't had too much snow this winter but it has certainly been cold. Right now we have a crispy covering of about three inches with deeper drifts here and there... but it is the hard, icy kind of snow that is no fun. March is the worst month... it feels like it should be spring but we for sure have another month left!

Is it my imagination, or has this been the longest effing winter IN MY LIFE!?!?! I'M SICK OF IT!!! I feel like having a MAJOR tantrum. (hmmm, I think maybe I AM!)

Me too, Ellis! I think it's the new Ice Age and I missed the announcement as Madcat says. The damn snow on the way to the barn is up to my crotch! Mind you I have short legs but still!
Grrrrrr and Brrrrrrr!

Thank god... I thought it was just me. This is suitable conversation for the ***** thread!!

YUP!!

Ginya-ME TOO!!! Sounds like we got off a BIT lighter than you though!!!

Ellis-TOO COLD!!! It has been a long COLD winter this year.

ROFPIMP

I thought only I was getting that kind of workout in!!!!LOL!

...but I just noticed under Chris's name...

Oh thou, who speaketh Klingon...what does Qapla' mean? I ask because on one of our Star Trek ornaments, Warf says, "Have an honorable Christmas..." and then what sounds like, "Qapla"...Inquiring minds want to know...

...must be rough to have so much time on my hands, that I can ask these silly questions...hmmm...this could be why I'm not getting too much done today

ummm....Katrina...if you can speak Klingon you probably have too much time on your hands too

Then again, I should talk, I am a gaming-sci-fi geek who can quote lines from my favorite horror films

It means success! I am a huge geek with just enough time on her hands to consult the Klingon dictionary. LOL!
