OMG. . . ..liver crimes. . . ....commited many in me youth.. . .now it's the odd transgression, but I think I now consider myself an ex-con. . .....

Um....that is, until the Christmas season, when I am regularly thrown into the company of outlaws....brief crime spree coming. . . . . . ....

*snort* that cracked me up

It's COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Currently -1 degrees (degree?). Arnie is having a tough time outside, he just stops in his tracks and lifts his paws up and whinces. I think the snow is so cold it is burning/stinging his paws. So no evening poo, no morning poop thus far, poor little guy is holding it.

how do people LIVE in that??????????? Poor Arnie and his wee feet, and his WEE!

how DO dogs pee in that weather? Does the wee freeze in mid-air????????

Joooolie! Poor Arnie. . . . . yes, boots may be a good idea. My MIL has just finished making something like 60 pairs of dog booties for the Yukon Quest - - comin' up in early Feb, all!!

oh, that is exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG I forwarded that on to my boss and other males

SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!

we just had the wildest storm I've practically ever seen.......pretty scary.....I was in the store, Weez was in the car, and the sky turned so black.....cracks of thunder and tornado warnings here today (never happens). Soon, the HUGEST, LOUDEST torrent of HAIL came down.......unbelievable. Everyone came to the windows of the stores and stared in awe.......I waited a few minutes for it to pass but - it did not. I could see my little weez terrified and looking for me as she sat in MY seat in the front as hail poured into the two open windows......I ran out and was soaked (raincoat was in teh car, natch).......PILES of hail everywhere. The storm headed to the mountains where it is snowing briskly at 1,000 feet elevation and now........it is CRYSTAL CLEAR and sunny above my house and practically BLACK in the east......going outside with camera now, I think.........

I am hearing sooo many sirens now...... the streets were a mess.....

Gahhhhhh .. . . the dreaded Penis Crush. .. . . ...thank you for this ripe comedic material, POeter. You just knew you could throw something like that into our mix, and we'd make hay. . . . .

how DO dogs pee in that weather? Does the wee freeze in mid-air????????

No, but their penii can - - hence the infamous PENIS SLING which many of the best sled dogs of the Quest are regularly sporting. . . . . remember??

Soooz! Exciting, sublime, frightening storm! Put up a pic!

Well...back from over a month away from my forums. I've been lurking, but since things blew up here, I needed some time.

It seems we've all been busy around here. I hope you are all well, and am diving in to try and get caught up.

Me enzymes just took a symphany jump!

Oh excellent Patti, your liver enzymes are so musically talented. What is their specialty? Bach? Bethoven?

I'm so used to reading odd spellings that my mind just automatically transposed it to read 'sympathy'..............ummmmm, that is what you meant, right Patti?

Good catch, Julie!

I believe we can blame Nik and Julie for mentioning wrapping

I need a little 'symphany' meself. I fell down the stairs this morning I took one step in my stocking feet and they went flying out from under me. I landed on me bum and went bouncing down the stairs. (I was rather slippery, wearing only me tights)

........I'm hearing snickers out there! .........shame on you!

When I told my coworker, she said..."Oh, like in the cartoons!"

So anyway, I didn't feel too bad, except a slight headache all day, because the initial fall rattled me brain. Well now I'm starting to ache in various places, and have discovered that I must have also hit my shoulder, as there is a bruise starting to form. The one on me tush is now coming into it's glory.........have decided it looks like the face of a bunny, with the nose being the deepest purple over the rest........and no....there will be no picture!

Wouldn't you know.....when I got home......that's where hubby tried to give me a little love pat (he wasn't yet aware of my morning adventure) Luckily, I have good reflexes! He survived unscathed.

Ryan!!!!......Good to see you. Surely it's been more than a month.......seems like you've been gone at least 32 days!

Ummmmm.........what blew up???

Edit: Oh yeah....you did say over a month. Still......it's been a heckuva long time!

BTW.......it is my job to do summaries for absentee psillies, but I think you've gone past the statute of limitations

SILLIES - - I am the ONLY one of my peeps (except my boss) who experienced the GINORMOUS hail storm today.......it really was only in the very north end of town, and headed straight to the mountains. So no one really knows about poor Weezee's trauma today, unless they watched the news, where it was the MAY-JUH featured story.

am freezing now.....must eat dinner and try to warm up!

:lol:

DUDE, you live in TORONTO!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me tell you this.......I have lived here for 38 of my 47 years and, to my knowledge, it "snowed" TWICE here before 1997 (when I moved to Monterey) - once when I was in about third grade, and we were OUT OF OUR MINDS on the playground that day, with our 1/8 inch of white dusting - and once after college...........

To see a storm of this magnitude just makes me WILD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that's all I can say, it makes me WILD WITH GLEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

<clapping hands maniacally>

see new av photo - - it's not really snow, it's hail - - but it's ALMOST SNOW - - it looks like snow - - the streets are COVERED WITH WHITE in my complex and.......

I JUST CAN"T TAKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, yeah.......whatever

Calm thyself, Soozie!.......and....2 inches?......seriously?..........I think not (just looked at the pic)

If that were snow, it would be called a 'light dusting'

Since this is such a momentous occassion, you must gather some hail and put it in your freezer.....it's tradition.

How does Weezie like it?

I don't know.......be creative.

The best scenario would be if it sticks together, you can shape it into snowballs. Great to hit people with in the heat of summer. If you try this, I'll swear I never told you
