The only people I eve knew who had never seen snow were my cousins from Alabama. Then they came to Minnesota in mid-March, and we got record snowfalls just for them. Then we went to Alabama (for Christmas the next year) and it snowed there, which Alabama drivers are really not prepared for.

So... snow. Is good. And I probably haven't gotten enough sleep, so I may be making less sense than usual.

Snow is cold and wet and it gets in my shoes and makes my feet cold and wet.
Snow is bad.
I don't like snow.

Snow is pristine and white.
It makes all sorts of ugly things suddenly beautiful.
When walking through snow, I wear boots that keep my feet nice and warm and dry.
Snow is good.
I love snow.

So instead, I seek solitude in the open and hope that no one disturbs me.

And everyone would notice you going in there? But yeah, you probably know best what works in your house.

I know that feeling. I haven't been able to gain weight for several years just because I never feel hungry enough to get myself a second serving.

Good luck with that.

The answer is always WoW. LoL is ALREADY TAKEN YOU CAN'T USE IT AS AN ACRONYM.

Snow is a good thing, and fresh snow is very beautiful the first time of the year. 9th time, nusomach.

Pfft, I would've said 'LoL' but I've noticed that WoW is more popular, so when I say LoL, they're like 'What's LoL mean..?'

It's just a DoTA clone. Sure, its the most popular and well known one, but is still DoTA. And theres 2 more DoTAs coming, Blizz and then the ACTUAL DoTA 2. But I dunno if that got canceled or something, I haven't payed attention.

I prefer LoL to DotA any day. It's just simpler for me. /shrugs

And yeah, DotA 2 is still in beta as far as I know (I've got it ).

This sounds rather interesting, I must watch this. -Goes off to search for "Once More, With Feeling"-

I dress completely in blue, for example, and that isn't even by design.

Nah, I wouldn't call it embarrassing. I mean, if I don't get complete silence, complete darkness, perfect shielding against any eventual cold and something to hug, I'm going to have a miserable night. That's just the way it works, so I fail to see why I should be embarrassed about it.

There's at least a month's time before I can expect any snow to fall over here. I'm both living to the south of you and have the Gulf Stream running through my neighbourhood, so my climate is distincly more temperate than yours.

As Coid suggested, can't you tape over the gap? Or fill it up with cotton? Or buy a roll of insulation tape (sort of like a small, soft rubber tube with glue on one side) and tape it around the edge of the window?

Some people just gravitate towards colors. For instance, I've got a fair share of black and red clothing.

Thanks

Concerning snow....it's SNOWING, RIGHT NOW!

Depends on where you are and what your definition of "safe" is, really.

I've certainly not died or become violently ill as an immediate consequence of snow consumption in the past.

It's perfectly safe; I do it all the time!

I shall have to read up on garnets once more as it has been several years since I last absorbed knowledge concerning them.

Here are some pictures of it:

The photography does not capture the opal's fire very well, which is green, orange, blue, and a few flakes of purple. Opals are another of my favourite stones.

All this talk of folks' favourite gems is pleasing me. In regards to pigeon's blood rubies, I have been very curious about the source of the name before myself: this article is as good as any in explaining that nobody really knows why the Burmese rubies that are highly saturated red with violet overtones are called that [about 3/4 down].

In regards to your other post, *hugs* & are you feeling any better today? If there is one thing I understand well, it is the need to be alone in a quiet place.

Mr. Head's rendition of Sweet Transvestite is so sexy. In fact he is so sexy. I would bite Mr. Head everywhere.

That was a great episode

I'm most definitely finetastic. Myxolidiously perfect in terms of Doric modality as much as a Russian Minor on Greek modality. Minictastically ectastic with a flare of refenestration of the highest order due to the conflagration of my confabulations. It is a clarity of the upmost hypernormality which I experience through which I can say that I indeed are not loopy or my head is at all fruity.

*hugs*

Do not listen to Dimonite! It is a perilous endeavour. Travellers who get lost in winter without food eat snow to staunch their hunger, but it drives them mad and they become the Wendigo: the wandering insane man-eater. That's science.

No, no no.
That's human flesh, not snow.
Snow turns you into a Sasquatch.

[Heliomance]

Pretty sure Wendigos are born from cannibalism, not snow eating.

[LaZodiac]

Oh my god Knee your hands look so dainty and girly. They look fantastic!

[Kneenibble]

Wendigos are man-eating spirits that possess humans. The scenario I described is one way to get possessed precedented in myth. :P

Why thank you, darling.

[Rawhide]

Snow is just frozen water, it's perfectly safe to eat (effectively drink, as it melts pretty darn quickly ), as long as it hasn't been contaminated (just like rainwater).

I must admit, I've never heard of hand-twins or handpelgangers before.

It's an interesting thought.

Nice ring, nice hands.

Om nom nom snowballs. Actually, there have been times when my brother and I would each break an icicle off the shed, put a snowball on it, and eat it like an ice cream cone. Fun times.

I'll take it as a complement, guessing that you probably have nice hands and take good care of them.

How do your hands look so elegent and nice, Knee?

[Coidzor]

Moisturizer and the caresses of a thousand downy kisses?

[Cuthalion]

Totally. It's also nice when you're on hikes where you can find snow and fill your water bottle with it. I've aso had snow-cones with snow and an orange juice syrup. It's amazing.
I never saw snow until about two years ago. It doesn't really snow around here much.

Well you know what they say is good for the skin, don't you?

But seriously, I moisturize them with cold-pressed oils. It is far better for skin than lotions.

Maple syrup over snow is delicious too.

Cold-pressed oils, you say? Intriguing.

Sadly I don't even get the innuendo. My cred is destroyed.
