We're on a chat to nowhere. Come on inside.

I'm feelin okay this mornin
And you know,
Were on the road to paradise
Here we go, here we go....

Fitting title for FailChat v3.0.  :)  Good morning!

Thank you. I've been sitting here trying to thing of song lyrics. Some reason I go blank.

Hello

 Failchat? someone besides me had an Epic Fail christmas?

Hi Truman! I think she is referring to the fact that chat has been pretty dead this week. Howard has been out and I've been busy. Not sure were everyone else has been.

Tiny Cat says : No wanna wrk

*sniffs armpits*

 Oh dear - so, it's up to us to keep the conversation going? Well, I did get that new coffee maker I wanted for Christmas, so it might not be so hard ;)

New coffee maker huh? Does it make like 24 cups at a time?

Good morning! :)  Sorry was in journal-land.

Goodness, I'm late with the buffet!  Ack!

*hurriedly sets out zero-cal buffet, industrial-sized vats of coffee and other assorted beverages*  :)

Good morning all!

Surely I'm burning extra calories walking when it's so damned cold! 

-15 Celsius this morning!  Even after a 20 minute hot shower, I'm still chilled!

Only 10, but it's programmable and has an alarm clock as well ;)

Hi Split!

There was a time when 10 cups of coffee would get me through until about noon.  Then I'd have to make another pot.

Edit: (((kim)))

Morning Split-sicle :)

 LOL!

That's about how I feel!

 Actually - yep, you're burning considerably more calories with the lower temperatures. And your partner might appreciate the effects of you leaving the comforts of home and entering the cold - the shock to the system of sudden temperature drops have been shown to boost testosterone production.

 Which makes me think all that advice about cold showers has been given by sadists. How's boosting testosterone going to help in the situations one recommends cold showers for?

Very interesting. And what does the cold do to women?

I do know the feeling, though.  When I go for runs in the cold, I motivate myself by telling myself, just think how good that hot shower's gonna feel!

Hmm... so does the cold boost testosterone production in females too??

 Doesn't say, but since increased growth hormone and testosterone production in response to stress and sudden shocks is pretty much the standard response of both male and female biology, I wouldn't be surprised if the same held true for you.

:-O

*checks crotch*

Whew.  Nothing new growing down there.  Yet. ;-P

Edit: LOL Split!  Somehow, I think such drastic measures are not going to produce the results you're hoping for. ;)

*looks at Laura*

*tries not to look at her crotch*
