The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I don't know which thread is official...so I am posting this in both.
In celebration of the new chat thread I have decided to post some never before seen photos of Franklin taken with my crappy iphone that I want to get rid of and just took all of the photos off of it so I could do so.
And one when he is not so much a puppy (still probably only a year old or so here)
Just because it's possible to dig your car out of the snow, doesn't mean that you should do something as stupid as actually driving it, as I just now found out.
I wanted to go out and get a snow shovel, so I didn't have to rely on the good will of my neighbors to lend me theirs in the future (some favors need returning for today), but right after getting on the expressway I reached the conclusion that my first priority should be getting back to my apartment alive, so I turned around and therefore still don't have a shovel. :?
I managed not to crash during this whole process, but I suspect the main reason for that would be that everyone else is less stupid than me, and so they didn't try driving anywhere in the first place, and so there weren't a lot of opportunities to crash into anybody.
Does it not snow where you're from usually? The general rule of snow is not to do anything vehicular in it.
Unless there's an empty parking lot nearby for making an ass of yourself.
I'm from Michigan, I'm used to snow, and driving in snow. But then, I'm also used to taking reports of bad weather with a large grain of salt, because news people tend to forecast the apocalypse with every light shower or stiff breeze, so it's somewhat hard to tell when things of significance have actually occurred, and when they're making a show of getting their panties in a twist about nothing because it's a slow news day.
HAHaha I drove by so many people spun out into giant snowbanks on the highway. It was then when I realized, if someones car isn't upside down, I'm probably not going to stop. I love driving in shitty NH conditions because I drive relatively conservative, while a bunch of assholes swerve around like there's a goddamn bomb strapped to there car and they can't let the speedometer drop past 55.
Franklin is so cute I want to cut him open and sleep inside him on a frozen tundra. Grif your pups pretty awesome too.
But my dog is more awesome because she fights goats.
Places that get snow normally also handle the snow way better. In NC, 2 inches can shut down the state, in MD it takes like 3 for them to consider letting the kids out, and its really just to ease traffic by eliminating school buses.
My friend wanted to walk over to our friend's house and take his dog out, and see if the coffee shop is open but ehhhh...it's already getting dark, and seeing as how the neighborhood roads haven't been plowed recently, and there's still 8"+ of snow in the road, and I have no snow pants.....D: It would probably take an hour, and my legs would freeze. WOO! I will have to get out at some point though (maybe tomorrow, if they still don't plow today) because my levels of stir-craziness will have reached unbearable levels!
Cake, you gotta stop. Every newfie picture you've posted has caused me to squeal and baby talk my monitor...I can't take much more. And my friend is looking at me funny.
UGHH 2 hours of shoveling the driveway as well as part of the street at a house that isn't mine because the landlord is on vacation and the guy upstairs apparently just had back surgery just so I could watch the plow come and finally clear the snow I just shoveled while I was clearing my car off bleh. Then I drove to MY house to grab some stuff without any problems on the road until I get one house away from mine and THEN I get stuck. And AGAIN before I leave.
That was how I spent my extra day off after my boss told me I didn't have to drive the 40 minutes to work today!

Totally cuddling up in blankets with some hot tea and rice pilaf tonight!
Gotta lose over half my body weight before I can even begin to transition, and my body wants to play stubborn. Well fuck that! It's on! You wanna go into starvation mode and refuse to burn calories? I'll fucking show you starvation. Starvation coupled with long, brisk walks in below-zero windchills.
I love how much willpower I have right now. My friend has been offering me cookies and chips all day. Ha!

You can actively watch my willpower drain away in the line at Subway.
Turkey, salad, wheat bread but that's it!
Well maybe some cheese, but that's all!
A little mayo would make it more interesting. Yeah just a little more.
Salt and pepper? Why yes I would like salt and pepper.
Damn those cookies look good, may just one....two of them.
I'm certainly going to need something to wash this down.
The Jumbo cup really is better value.

Of course then you'll slid into a ditch and almost certainly damage something.
He's way too cute to have a Cylon in his head.
