      :laugh: Too bad the pictures were just cartoon drawings! On the other hand, I can think of better things to do on a cold snowy day that involve the removal of clothes! :-D Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

        That is cool! We are hoping it will snow near us sometime this year - my husbands never seen more than 1cm thick! If it does we will invest in a sled - there is a perfect hill in a park behind our flat :-D Have a slide for me! :cool:

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.

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.

                                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.

                                        Which is rare out here along the coastline in Rhode Island USA. One of my son's Christmas wish list things was "a snowy Christmas". I guess he got his present early! Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

                                        ...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[^]
