dear rosie & runey,

i am not originally from vancouver.  i am used to snow.  i actually like snow.  and i'm not a big city girl.  i don't want to live in vancouver forever.  it's either southern alberta (sorry bugs), or somewhere in southernish BC for me eventually...

love, SLO.

 Dear Slo,

I think you're nuts but I love you anyway.  If you want a lovely place to go, try Salmon Arm.  Or Kamloops, since I will be moving there in about 10 years. 

Love, Runie

PS: Snow sucks.  Ice is worse.

Kamloops is too big for me now.  Plus it smells.  Salmon Arm is nice. 

Snow is good for skiing.  And the ice, well after you get used to it, you only fall down once a day.

it looks like a dragon.

and if no one else wants hawaii, i'll take it.  and i'll give the US a nice big hug icepick.

It looks like a dragon pooping on Alaska.  I don't want Alaska.  I want Hawaii, and New Mexico because right now I'm freezing my ass off

 There's this great thing you can do called a "road trip."  Generally, people own these machines called "cars."  They are motorized vehicles with four wheels that are fueled by gasoline (some have an electric component).  Anyway, you obtain a car, and you drive the car to New Mexico, utilizing a picture that shows you the way called a "map."

Pfft.  Cars.  We have dog sleds here

Cranbrook is either too hot, too cold, or too windy.  For me, coming from a little town of 2500 it's loverly, for you coming from Vancouver, it would be an armpit

rosie - i have decided i want to live in cranbrook.  but i don't think i've ever been to cranbrook.  it's just that wikipedia tells me that cranbrook is the sunniest city in BC.  this holds major appeal.

Ooooh.  You'd be so close.  We could go shopping and we could have coffee and we could go out to the bar and we could have lunch and we could go to the movie...

It looked sunny in High School Musical

None of my current clothes fits correctly. How the frack could I not frackin' notice the frackin' date in relation to the frackin' wedding????

Ugh.

I hate it when my advancing years kick my ass like this. I was supposed to get my hair done as well. Frak.

And WHAT THE FRAK is dressy-casual?????

 Disclaimer: The following comment may be related to above post, but my also be completely random and not applicable to any comment ever made in Chat:

My oldest son is getting married on December 19, and as the mother of the groom, I am wearing nice dress slacks (gray, faux tweed), a nice (pricey for me at $50) silver cardigan w/jeweled buttons, with a dark teal cami underneath the sweater, and black heels. No dress, no over the top heels and no poofy hair/gaudy jewelry/dangly earrings, etc.

Does that sound dressy-casual? Does it sound tacky for a wedding?

Sounds awesome.  Take that MoB

Hee hee.  This is me.  Once you reach a certain age, you should be able to wear what you frakkin' please

It's nice to go home, isn't it?  Since starting CC I'm starting to wonder.  Lots of people around here hate their parents.

Flogging Molly makes me think of East Coast music.  Doesn't seem all that punkish to me.

I found a method of brining that does not require the purchase of a five gallon bucket. I am pleased.

 What do you do, use the kitchen sink rather than a bucket?

 The method calls for a baking bag, that is twisted closed until the brine covers the breast, then tied. But I am certain a gi-normour zip-lock will serve as well.

You're brining your breasts?  Whoo, you 'mericans have some weird traditions.  We canucks just eat turkey for Thanksgiving.

It isn't just yoga.  I'm never hungry right after a workout, and believe me, I'm not a yoga-girl.  I think all exercise helps with stress and self-image.

I'm so glad your kitty is getting better.  When I saw this post at the top of the list, I was almost afraid to look.  Good news.  Yay

Do you think you could focus more on size than weight?  Say, start working out and see what happens.  Maybe you don't need to lose weight, maybe you just need to do what AG and Hedgren suggested.  Wouldn't hurt anyway.

Fantasy93, you're at a good weight right now.  We keep telling you this stuff because we actually care what happens to you.

I've suffered from shinsplints for years.  When I feel them coming on, I need to get off my feet immediately and get them raised and iced.

The most soothing thing is.... My cat!  I have this HUGE cat that likes to lie on my shins and purr.  The heat and sligt vibration seems to help.  Definitely no science backing up the "apply cat to legs for 2 hours to relive pain" theory...

I want two of these.  One for hot, one for cold.  Do they come in different temperatures?
