Susan-that was great! Thanks for sharing!

According to the weather channel, Moultrie, GA will have a low Friday of 28.

Anchorage, AK will be down to 35.

Killeen, TX will be the warmest low at 38. This morning they were predicting 27 so this is good news for my pipes.

When it gets to cold, the Vets have a hard time thawing the 3-legged dogs with a 4th leg frozen in the up position. So this is good news.

0: People in Miami all die...

Susan, would those people in Miami be the players and staff of the Miami Dolphins football team?

In New England - we can only hope!

I watched the first half of the Dolphins-Bills game last week (I am still fond of Drew!). When I caught the final score the next morning I was surprised by how much Buffalo had scored in the second half compared to Miami. Then I saw the highlights of the game and the weather and said "That explains it!" Get 'em in a snowstorm and they can't function. . . .

LOL LOL
Please tell me if you ever write a book. That's one book signing that I want to be at --- I'll be the one buying 10 copies so that I can leave them everywhere that I might need a laugh.

Ok I've sold 10 now...If ya'll could just call the OCC and ask them to loosen up on their CRA gig while I get it finished...

I did write a book once in highschool (about 10,000 years ago), I may be able to dust it off. It's a Star Wars pre-quil...has that been done yet? Tee hee hee

yep, fortunately the local weatherman missed it by 5 degrees last night. Our company Christmas party is tonight -good thing they decided to have Christmas Casual attire this year instead of the semi-formal, shiver-me-timbers, things we usually wear!

ah, yes, yes indeed. Now days, that hot chocolate has a little something from Bacardi in it!

On the slope (where we get all that lovely oil Grist) it's a life threating experience to ummm, how to say this in a BOL appropriate context....pee in the wine?

Not that I would ever buy any wine from Alaska (is there such a thing), but I do hope you meant "wind"!

Re: duct tape to repair anything...

If you aren't already an addict, you've got to check out the Red Green show on PBS. Hint: "The handyman's secret weapon...duct tape." The show also has a segment for the common problems of middle-aged men.

Bear in mind that most people who are show addicts hated the show the first time or two they saw it, but won't miss it now. I got a video entitled "Duct Tape Virtuoso" - a collection of handyman segments. LOL!

John, I'm so glad you said that. I took Dawnie quite literally and had already thought "Mental note to self. Check into this bizarre-sounding Alaskan ritual."

Dawnie, just email the picture to me mbguard@bankersonline.com and I'll be happy to put it up.

The Red Green Show!!! LOL Its amazing how many people
watch it! My Dad got me hooked! Its a family get together tradition now....watching the Red Green Show. I do agree it took me more than a few times to really appreciate the humor!

Hey, that's me and Fear Factor!!

In reply to:

I'm going to a ball in February and need to go find a gown. I hadn't thought of duct tape. Hmmm . . . .

You could go here for some ideas.

Ok Fear Factor should be renamed GROSS Factor. Most of the challenges aren't frightening, just gross.

Do you realize that prom is in May and these brave soles are wrapping themselves in Duct tape in May in Texas and Arizona? I cannot imagine how hot they must be. Instead of prizes for best costume, they should just have an outdoors dance contest beginning at about 5 p.m.--the last Duct taped prom couple to pass out wins. The prize would probably be an all expenses paid trip to the emergency room

Truthfully, those costumes are amazing!! If I could just talk my daughter into wearing one to prom, I could save big $$$ on a prom dress.

The Red Green Show. Exactly when is that on?

And yet, strangely entertaining.

Sort of in the same sense that a auto accident scene is entertaining. You can't help but look as you drive by, but if you stop, eat popcorn, and sell advertising while you watch them clear the scene, you just feel kind of sleazy. Maybe that can be the next reality show--a film crew follows ambulances to injury accident scenes and shows the full gory details--they can call it Couch Potato Rubberneckers.

Nope not for me. I can't watch it. Of course that could be because I'm usually eating dinner when it's on.

They should do more height challenges. (Yes not only am I "height challenged", but I'm also afraid of heights)

You'll have to check your local listings.

Hysterical. I'm meeting my fiance this weekend so I'll run this by him. Thanks for keeping me informed of my alternatives.

Dawnie, I take back everything I ever said about going wine tasting with you!

Oh my goodness! Why didn't anyone catch that winD thing earlier! We take our wine VERY seriously here! No one is allowed to pee in it...( well unless it comes from a box).

Our gowns are either gowns, or costume gowns. I was a french maid the first year, dorthy from the wizard of oz one year (my duct tape toto was fab!) and a fairy princess or duct tape goddess LOL one year.

Wearing the duct tape in the cold presents as much problem as in the heat. It tends to get stiff when frozen....Picture yourself in sort of a tin man outfit, attempting to get out of your car and walk the block to the ball.
