Have a slide for me! Will do! Maybe I'll get a picture or two too! Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

Back in school during holidays a bunch of friends and I were tasked with dismantling a cold storage freezer. Set 3 stories up, just under the corrugated iron roof while having to wear proper gear (there was asbestos around) in 35 degree heat was damned hot. We still had fun though as we found out that the glue which bonded the storage room together had melted a bit. This was industrial strength glue, you could use it to glue friends to the wall, or their shoes to the floor... :-D Glad it does not get to 43 here, about the highest we have is 38.

Here in Switzerland it has snowed enough to ski :-). I have already been on the ski slopes last Saterday, and intend to go again this weekend...

Things might start dropping off at inoportune moments. :rolleyes: Of course the alternative involves a bear skin rug, a raging fire and... ;)

In Std 9 I had Maths in a prefab with a corrugated iron roof - on those hot days we would have to have the lessons outside under a tree in order to keep us from fainting! :cool:

Of course the alternative involves a bear skin rug, a raging fire and... Exactly. Unfortunately: 1. I live in a trailer home (no fire place) 2. A bear skin rug wouldn't fit in my living room (and I don't have one) 3. My girlfriend had to go to work today! 4. My son wants to go and play out in the snow! 5. At 3:15, my girlfriend has gum surgery! This is not the day for "..."!!! Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

It rarely snows over here... well.. it does.. but about 1 or 2 cm so It's not much fun :(( I :love: snow. Chris has always promised me he'd bring me snowboarding with himself and :bob: if I got him an Irish Redhead. I wrapped her up and posted her to him in Canada ages ago but he hasn't responded since... hmmm.. wonder why... Regards, Brian Dela :-)

I have lived in nice, solid, bricks and mortar homes for most of my life and would find it strange I imagine. Do a lot of Americans live in trailer homes? Unfortuanatley trailer homes are only portrayed one way in the movies, so I have a horrible perception of them.

Leave them waiting in the fridge for her when she gets home. Trust me, she's not going to be able to eat much else for a good couple of days. Oh, and :rose:'s will make her feel a lot better too :)

Glad you son got his Xmas wish! I'm just north of you (Mass) and the snow's making the morning commute laughable! 2-4" expected today, with 1-2 already on the ground. Beautiful! /ravi Let's put "civil" back in "civilization" http://www.ravib.com ravib@ravib.com

I'm in central Connecticut and we have 8 inches of snow here. I have a Ford Mustang and couldn't get out of my apartment complex (which is on a steep hill) this morning. So, I plugged my laptop into my DSL and am working from home. I you want to call this working :) Brigg Thorp Software Engineer Timex Corporation

Welcome back, Paul! Did you have a nice holiday? :-D BW "I'm coming with you! I got you fired, it's the least I can do. Well, the least I could do is absolutely nothing, but I'll go you one better and come along!" - Homer J. Simpson

...as a Canadian, let me point out that, with a little under a month to go, what makes you think it'll still be around by Christmas? Here in Ottawa we've been having snow on and off since early November (rather early, compared to what we usually get around here I must say). Right now there's no snow on the ground (well, ok, hardly any). Live cam: http://www.canada.com/ottawa/ottawacitizen/specials/parliamentcam.html[^]
