chesterfieldzoo Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 My dogs love the cold and don't want to come in. The only thing I like about winter is that I can play inside and not hear the weeds taunting me to come and get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallowell Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 I can handle the cold just fine because I don't like to be hot and sweaty. But I am tired of all the shoveling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hot & sweaty doesn't bother me, especially hiking or paddling the kayak! but y'all can keep your snow and your shovels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidiiiii Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 There is nothing yuckier then shoveling snow, and you face, head and neck start to sweat from your scarf and hat. It starts to run down. Or when you hand start to sweat inside your mittens...yes I said mittens..I wear mittens..LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I wear mittens, too, Heidi. Nice thick, padded mittens. And sometimes I pull my thumb inside with my fingers to keep it warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this time I've had people tease me for doing that, now finally someone who understands! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 We found the best mittens for cold weather bicycling, when we were in Canada; the mitt flips back to fingerless gloves if you have to stop to unjam the cahin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bree1978 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 nothing wrong at all about mittens. I wear them for two reasons, the first being IT SO MUCH WARMER! The other being my fingers are so unbelievably long that I always, and I mean always wear the middle and index finger out! Doesn't even matter if I find them in XL. If I wear men's they are too fat and lets all the cold air seep in, not to mention harder than all get out to grasp anything with the extra leather/cloth, and makes my hands look like feet....SO Mittens it is! Boy I need to learn how to knit....! HOORAY for Mittens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidiiiii Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Okay, I am a chicken. There is a 90 minute delay for school today because all the rain last night turned to ice. I do not care if they think 90 minutes is long enough..I just looked outside and the street is an ice skating rink. Too dangerous to walk and I do not want to skate in my car. The stairs outside are covered in ice also. I do not want to go out there! I do not want to drive her to school. Waahhh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Heidi, time to exercise a mother's prerogative. Don't go out ... and let the school know why. Their 90-minute delay is based on bus driver safety. They don't consider the situation for individual students. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidiiiii Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Kathie, I did that. But they will consider it an unexcused absence. There is no excuse unless there is a doctors note. Ppfffffft! Today is Fred`s b-day so she is going to help me cook his birthday dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 That's rather anal on the part of the school district, but then I never heard of an unexcused absence ruining anyone's life, so I'll join you in Ppfffttt'g the whole idea! Life is way too short to risk jeopardizing life and limb for somebody's silly rule. I'm glad she's home to help with Fred's celebration.
