23452. wonkers2 - 1/24/2008 2:37:03 AM It's miserable here too, Mago. Almost enough to shake my belief in global warming. Please stop sending that bad weather aross Lake Michigan! 23453. arkymalarky - 1/24/2008 3:25:15 AM Remember, it's about weather extremes. When we went to CO last summer, they'd had the worst winter in their memory, and they've all lived up their 20-50 years. 23454. Magoseph - 1/24/2008 1:24:47 PM I'm reading The Ambassadors from Henry James, just in case you wondered which book I was talking about above. 23455. Magoseph - 1/24/2008 1:39:22 PM Wonks, it'll be still cold today: Hi: 8° Lo: 4°, but Friday, Saturday, and Monday will be much better, in the thirties. 23456. judithathome - 1/24/2008 4:54:54 PM We're in the 30s during the day here...which is extreme for Texas. 23457. arkymalarky - 1/25/2008 3:26:00 PM We just had school cancelled. Woke up to sleet. Bob had to go, which makes me mad. I wanted him to stay home, but he said the interstate is clear (that's most of his commute, but I commute on country roads). 23458. alistairconnor - 1/25/2008 4:37:33 PM You cancel school for sleet?
Wimps. 23459. arkymalarky - 1/25/2008 4:57:05 PM Yeah, yeah. We're used to hearing that from big, bad hard winter people. With it below freezing but not far below, it's slicker than owlshit on the roads. Freezing rain and ice is the worst. On the rare occasions that it really snows, it's actually easier to get around--though we still close schools because we don't have the road equipment to clear rural roads for the school buses. 23460. wonkers2 - 1/25/2008 6:03:04 PM Goose shit is slicker'n owl shit. We have to put up with it December through March! 23461. arkymalarky - 1/25/2008 6:31:25 PM It's not the same when you have lots of hard-frozen stuff, especially snow. The most fun I had being out was when it snowed over a foot here. Schools were closed because rural roads were snowed over, but we could drive, the electricity never went out, and we had a blast. The ice storm that left us almost two weeks without electricity was another story--trees snapped everywhere and an undrivable sheet of ice everywhere. The only vehicles that could get over it were utility vehicles--Hummers were pulling SUVs out from ditches right and left. 23462. iiibbb - 1/28/2008 9:32:51 PM I am an INTJ.
Anyone want to say what they are? 23463. iiibbb - 1/28/2008 9:37:09 PM Nobody can drive on ice.
My wife is from Syracuse and makes fun of the locals' reactions to winter weather. She can't do it too much in front of me anymore because I always point out how she high-centered her Subaru on a ridge of ice (that was a refrozen birm from the plow) outside my house and I pulled her of with my POS front wheel drive car.
Yankees. 23464. iiibbb - 1/28/2008 9:38:04 PM And nothing beats a Georgia clay road during a downpour for being nearly completely undrivable. 23465. judithathome - 1/28/2008 9:47:15 PM I am an INTJ.
I would but I got enough of that BS several years ago when another poster was always going on about it.
23466. iiibbb - 1/28/2008 10:17:20 PM ...yikes... hostile... have a great day! 23467. iiibbb - 1/28/2008 10:19:28 PM Maybe this will make you feel better.23468. iiibbb - 1/28/2008 10:19:49 PM This 23469. judithathome - 1/29/2008 12:19:40 AM That wasn't hostile! I just happen to think that Meyer's-Briggs stuff is sort of a crock. Sheesh, am I not allowed to have an opinion that differs?
You asked...I answered truthfully and get accused of being hostile?
Let's be sure to avoid the subjects of politics and religion from now on, okay? ;-) 23470. arkymalarky - 1/29/2008 1:02:31 AM Imo, it has some uses, despite CalGal's (typical) excesses on it, mainly for determining what your own best job personality is. We do interest inventories that are influenced by it, with kids, in helping them plan post-high school education and job hunting. It's when people try to use it as a concrete, objective definition of someone that it's being misused. 23471. arkymalarky - 1/29/2008 1:08:02 AM I think I was INTJ--IN something, anyway.
