Panties are cool.  I hear women like to wear them.  They're all the rage in Paris now.


Oh? I've yet to hear of these so-called "Paaaan-ties". I should try some!


Oh, Alex, look at this... I'm SMELLIN' THE NEW PANT-AYS!!

Ok, I'm done =)

and I'm just a stupid woman.


It finally comes out.

It finally comes out.


;D ;D ;D

Dear old Dad's getting the fireplace ready, to smoke Santa out.  :)

Wait, so you think if you take a girl out to dinner and a movie, she owes you p*ssy?



yes I think she does as a matter of fact and I never got any from that stupid girl! >:(

My dad cleaned out our fireplace yesterday while he was home.

So....Merry Christmas everyone!! ;D :D ;D :D  Jeez....after reading the last few pages, I thought this was the, "ask me about sex" thread....twas enlightening anyway! ;)

Damn straight.





..XD Have fun dying a lonely old man.

Did she mention lonely?

she even mentioned...old.

Did I mention.. virgin?


Or, if not a virgin (assuming he'd pay for a hooker, being that's the ONLY way he's ever going to have sex), a very gross diseased man.


Have fun dying an old, lonely, diseased man, Alex! =D

I bought an ornament over the weekend.  It's Ralphie from "A Christmas Story" dressed in his bunny costume.  It's too cute!

OMG...that sounds just darling! Where did you find something like that? You know what would be cute with that? A little replica ornament of the "leg lamp". ;D

My sister and I bought 2 new ornaments for our Christmas tree yesterday; a B and a K with Swarovski crystals on them.  We're getting my parents' initials (R & S) next week.  We saw them and just had to buy them.

All I keep thinking is that line in the movie .about shooting your eye out. ;D  Great movie.

At F.Y.E.  They actually had the leg lamp too.  I'm going to sneak back and get it when my husband isn't with me go grumble about how much they cost.  ;D

On my usual walk to work, I have seen one house with a minimal amount of lights hanging around the front door, and another with a tree in the window.

Christmas songs are on the radio already.

Did you get those at Bed, Bath and Beyond? I saw some like that, and I almost purchased my boyfriend and I's initials, but I didn't have enough funds at the time.  :( I will go back, though  ;)

Why so early?

Beats me!  Two radio station had them on. Usually that stuff doesn't kick in till "Black Friday". ::)

I would listen to a different radio station, or even complain.

Yes, well considering all that's happened news wise this year.  Maybe people could use a little Christmas cheer.  (Spaceace grabs her Santa Clause is Coming to Town DVD, holds it tight)

We have 2 radio stations that have been playing Christmas tunes too...and, I am totally stoked, I LOVE Christmas music! :)

I make no excuses for getting out my Christmas Special DVD!!! :)

I love Feliz Navidad

I heard the version of "Sleigh Bells" done by an orchastra with the horse neighing at the end.  That kicked off the Christmas spirit for me. :)

I'm going shopping on Black Friday.




No, I'm not crazy.

OMG you get trampled over just trying to walk through store.  I may do some shopping around the 10th.  Or just shop on line. :)

I have yet to do that.  Not because I don't want to.  I could even remotely find a place to sit at the mall.  :P

They sound so cool ! How much were they?

Ever since the end of October the mall has been crowded.  People get more and more rude every year.

$7.

I believe it was about 7:42. Somewhere around there. Not even kidding!

I've been trying not to think about Christmas until after Thanksgiving, but I was driving on Thunderbird Rd today and the Thunderbird Rd Griswolds have their Christmas yard display ready to go.  I'll need to drive by there at night and see if it's all lit up - they put freakin' lights on everything - the roof, the carport, the fence to the backyard, proably some in the backyard...  :D

Bah humbug!

The Lite FM station has started the continuous Christmas music now.  We were out earlier and I turned it on in the car and VOILA!.....Christmas music.

I would like to know Radio2 plays its first Christmas song?

So much for happiness and good cheer. :P


Always push you around and hardly ever say "Excuse Me". >:(

I'm listening to my favorite Christmas song right now, so I'm in a great mood.

For the past several years I've been hearing it in early December on my local oldies radio station. ::) It gets tiring after a while.

Believe it or not, I listen to the radio so little, I don't know any words besides "Feliz Navidad" from that song.

There aren't very many words to it anyways.

"Feliz Navidad" (X3)..."prospero ano y felicidad."

"I wanna wish you a merry christmas" (x3) "from the bottom of my heart." That's all the words.


Fleas on your dog?

I found the ornaments on Target.com, but they don't ship overseas.  Crap. 


I'll probably buy mine at Target as Bed, Bath and Beyond's were more than $7, I believe. Nifty idea!  :)

Since reccomeded by yourself, I have grown to like this Christmas Song.

I'm excited about the Christmas Holidays because I'm staying with my family in Newport for a week and we're going to Disneyland Paris for two nights.

On December 9th, my dad has a training day for examiners (he's a teacher) and he's coming down to London with my mum. My mum and I are going Christmas shopping in Oxford Street.

I'm going shopiing next week.  Cause if you think I'm going today you're nuts!!! ::)

Oh yeah....now that Thanksgiving is over, it's full steam ahead to Christmas.

We still haven't put decorations up yet.  We never put them up until after my sister's birthday, which is Dec. 3rd.  The week after that, we're buying the tree.  Only problem is........where to stick the thing.

Hell yeah I am. Two weeks until we go back to California for Christmas Vacation! Yes! http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/03/dance.gif

I will probably be decorating at two different houses. This is the first year I'm "out of the house," so I will probably go over this weekend and help my mom out and then sometime this week I'd like to accomplish some around the house I'm in now  :)

Yeah, if I don't get them up - it's hard for me to get some holiday feeling. Since moving to CA, it's been hard for me to get "jolly". The constant sun doesn't make me feel Christmasy. I miss how I spent Christmas back in Pennsylvania.

Yeah, it's a very rare occurrence when snow or any below freezing temps hit California, except in Tahoe and the mountainous terrains.

We get the cold weather down here for Christmas, but we hardly get snow.  If we do, it's always before or after Christmas.....not during it.  Which really sucks.

We aren't doing the decoration thing.

I'm going to get mine in from the shed this weekend but I won't put them up until december.

I know how that feels..............I thought I lost mine, but I found them in my sock drawer.  Don't ask why they were there because I don't know.  I have a ton of cards to mail out this year.....more than I did last year.

Make your own cards! It's more special.

I make my own cards for my family.  But with the amount of cards I have to send out to other people, for me, it's easier to buy them and write personal notes in each one.

Yes indeedy. Florida weather! I'm looking forward to those afternoon showers they get.

Its much better than all of the alternatives in the United States. If I lived in Hawaii or the Bay Area I'd have to worry about Earthquakes, which you get no warning for or prep time. With a hurricanes you can get the fudge out of there before it makes landfall.

And of course anywhere else in the U.S. besides Hawaii, the Bay Area or Southern Florida and I'd have to deal with winter which I absolutely detest. I can barely even take these Texas winters.

XD We haven't had a big earthquake since '89.

The pub opposite me has its Christmas Decorations already out.

The Bay Area doesn't get that many earthquakes. The last ginormous one was in '89, like Meat said. We get little ones here or there, and they're really nothing, especially since everything is retrofitted to sway with the movement.

And whoever told you there is no winter in the Bay Area is mistaken. Yeah, we don't get snow that much (last year was an exception, but it was light), but it gets cold and rainy and windy as hell. Those storms blow in out of the Pacific and make you freeze your butt off.

You have risks and annoyances everywhere you live. It's a part of life.

My uncle told me, and he lived there for two years.

1 Month Away

well, we got our decorations down from the attic....they are currently sitting in the diningroom....we will be putting them up tomorrow.

The only part of Christmas I like is the decorations. I usually go drive around with my family on Christmas Eve just to look at them. Other than that, it's just an endless parade of commercials, incessant, in-your-face holiday music, and holiday special on TV...and store sales!  ::) Also, I like getting Christmas presents and/or writing letters and cards to people who celebrate Christmas that I know. We almost always go into the city and see my grandfather and his wife on Christmas Day, since they celebrate a "secular Christmas." The city is eerily quiet and I love it. I guess that's another part I love about Christmas: the eerie quiet when you go out. So, I DID find some things I like about it by the end of this post.

My uncle told me, and he lived there for two years.


I lived there for 26 years. We get a cold wet winter. It just doesn't freeze.

There are some parts in California that get super cold, like in the Sierras, parts of the desert (yes, the desert gets cold) and whatever mountain range Mount Shasta is in.  I think those are part of the Cascades but not sure.  It does get cold enough every now and then to put a layer of frost on the grass and houses and stuff, but snow is extremely rare outside of the mountain ranges. 

Ironically, it isn't snowing as much as it should here in scenic Indiana.

With the arrival of two Christmas Cards in the post this morning, the feeling of Christmas is starting.

Ironically, it isn't snowing as much as it should here in scenic Indiana.
Just wait.....it's supposed to start coming later this week ;)

Supposed to!  They've been predicting "snow" for 2 months!  :D  Lies!  All LIES!!!

But that FOX weatherman is pretty cool, he struts around like John Travolta from Saturday Night Fever and does the wink and the gun :D

Thinking about getting a Christmas tree this evening after work or Saturday morning

Do you get the real ones?  I'm horribly allergic to them.  :(

We always get a real tree.  It's a pain in the ass, up-keep wise, but it just doesn't feel right if we use a fake one. 

Do you get the real ones?  I'm horribly allergic to them.   :(
that's too bad because they smell so nice when fresh. We always get a real tree, usually a Noble Fir, a little bit expensive, but they last and smell good and are gorgeous. We started getting them at Home Depot in the parking lot. They aren't on display, you have to unwrap each one yourself, unwind the string and stand it up and have a look at it but they a little less expensive because of that and last year we picked the first one we looked at & it was "the one". 

My friends have Douglas Fir Christmas Tree in their living room.  I'm wondering how they're going to explain why the Douglas Fir that they have in their back years is now only 3 feet.  (It was about 7 feet) :)

We have a shortage of real trees in Europe this year due to the unusually hot summer.  :\'(

My christmas boxes are all dried out now so I guess I'll put the tree up at the weekend.

Hallelujah I have two presents arriving from Ebay and my shopping is done!

My Christmas shopping for the most part is done.  I still need to get something for my sister.

Supposed to!  They've been predicting "snow" for 2 months!  :D  Lies!  All LIES!!!

Then it winds up being a warm winter for the most part

My Christmas shopping was started and ended today-yup-I am DONE. This was an easy year. We help send (most of) the kids to Puerto Rico and the one we didn't, we will be sending paper. The grandkids were the only ones we had to buy for and that was done today. Now, to get those cards out.  :P  Started writing the letter to go in them but I also have to get some pics to include. That's the easy part. The hard part is addressing the envelopes.  :-\\


Since it is only going to be Carlos and me this year, we probably won't do too much in the way of decorating. I would like to have a tree, though-but not like the one we had last year. I have NEVER in my entire life seen a tree that shed as much as that one. It was unbelievable. I wouldn't mind just having a "Charlie Brown" tree-something small.

I love Christmas in the romantic, traditional sense. I sort of accept the mass commercialization of the holiday and get desensitized by it. Believe it or not 15 years ago not EVERY SINGLE commercial on TV was about Christmas, and the radios would play there usual songs and mix in a little John Lennon Happy Xmas and some other classics.

When I think of Christmas, it's about quaint cottages festively lit up, as well as sprawling Victorian estates completely "decked out", carolers, family gatherings, singing Christmas songs at the school concert, going to church in my comfy holiday sweater. Really I just think back to my carefree childhood and the way we celebrated back then...and the way we still do, only my role in it has changed. Also Christmas dinner (Thanksgiving part 2). My personal take on Christmas is viewed through upper middle class suburban glasses. I can't picture it any other way. I know many families go on vacation to the tropics this time of year (unfathomable to me!) Or just completely disregard the holiday altogether...I don't know it just seems foreign to me. It's almost like if I don't immerse myself in it, I don't feel complete or like I've made the most of it. I think this mindset was handed down to me through my parents.

anyway, here are some beautiful images of what Christmas is to me.

Ugh. My dad bought a damned Christmas tree.

How dare he.  I say you take him out back and horsewhip him. 

Speaking of Christmas trees, we're buying ours next weekend.  Then my sister get unlimited control over decorating it and the house.  Fun!!

How dare he.  I say you take him out back and horsewhip him. 


I just might! I hate the damn things, I just wanted to get a little plastic one to sit on the counter. They're a waste of space. ::)

Yeah, Christmas trees suck.  How dare he buy something that's a symbol for the holidays to decorate and bring some warmth and color to the house.  What a jerk.

it's too early for a real tree as it will get brittle by Christmas Day. The best time to get a real one is in like 8-11 days.

We keep our tree nice and watered and we've never had a problem with it being brittle.  We usually get it 2 weeks before Christmas.

Exactly. The holidays suck, all they are is an annoyance. They depress the hell out of me. Christmas especially. All reminds me of my mortal enemy, winter.

Infact I'm going to buy a plastic palm tree and put lights on it every year from now on. Screw cold-climate trees.

I thought that was when Mike was no longer in love with Kim Richards?

Its so stupid though, we're not even Christians.

You think I was serious?  Interesting.  I think you're overreacting.  It's a Christmas tree.  It's a symbol of the season and the holiday.  You sound like a crotchety old man.

I think the Christmas tree and wreaths and mistletoe are actually pagan symbols that were kinda assimiliated by the Christians when they slime-molded all the religions together.

Its so stupid though, we're not even Christians.



So?  Christmas trees are not, to the best of my knowledge, rooted in religious iconography.  They're a freakin' tree you cover with lights and shiny ornaments.  You can stick a snowflake on it and it will have no religious leanings at all.  I know plenty of non-religious/non-Christians who put up a Christmas tree. 

Its so stupid though, we're not even Christians.


You don't have to be a Christian, it's just a time to celebrate giving, the end of a year and the beginning of a new. I like the whole time period, being with family and stuff, exchanging gifts and just hanging out, watching football, etc. The holidays are great!

Christmas Trees are evil.  I mean they stand there with their lights all sparkley thinking they are all that.  I mean what the hell is up with that?  How dare those trees sparkle >:(

They remind me of winter and depress me. I asked my dad if he could put it up in his room and he said no, that it was a family thing. What the feck is he talking about? I'm like 18 years old, I'm not expecting a visit from Santa, and hes divorced and single. This isn't some family unit in the 'burbs. And like I said, we aren't even Christians.

Dude, the holidays are a pain in the azz because you have to see your relatives. They mess everything up too, I hate having my schedule all fudged up from it. Remember, I feel it especially being in the painting business.

So don't see your relatives and keep your schedule.  There's no law that forces you to celebrate anything.

I don't know mine are cool, my cousins are like best friends to me, so I love seeing them. I know it's not the same for everybody though. Thankfully mine live close to my house so it's not a big deal at all to go see them.

You don't need to have a family to celebrate Christmas.  You don't need to be a little kid waiting for Santa to celebrate Christmas.  You don't need to live in the suburbs to put up a Christmas tree.  You don't need to be Christian to put up a Christmas tree.  My sister's friend, who's Jewish, puts up a tree. 

You're just looking for something to complain about.  You seriously sound like Ebenezer Scrooge. 

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch.
You really are a heel.
You're as cuddly as a cactus,
You're as charming as an eel.
Mr. Grinch.


You're a bad banana
With a greasy black peel.


You're a monster, Mr. Grinch.
Your heart's an empty hole.
Your brain is full of spiders,
You've got garlic in your soul.
Mr. Grinch.


I wouldn't touch you, with a
thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole.


You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch.
You have termites in your smile.
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile.
Mr. Grinch.


Given the choice between the two of you
I'd take the seasick crockodile.


You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch.
You're a nasty, wasty skunk.
Your heart is full of unwashed socks
Your soul is full of gunk.
Mr. Grinch.


The three words that best describe you,
are, and I quote: "Stink. Stank. Stunk."


You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch.
You're the king of sinful sots.
Your heart's a dead tomato splot
With moldy purple spots,
Mr. Grinch.


Your soul is an apalling dump heap overflowing
with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable
rubbish imaginable,
Mangled up in tangled up knots.


You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch.
With a nauseaus super-naus.
You're a crooked jerky jockey
And you drive a crooked horse.
Mr. Grinch.


You're a three decker saurkraut and toadstool
sandwich
With arsenic sauce.

Blasted wife, she beat me to it.

I'd enjoy it too much.

My point is, if you hate the holidays so much, why are you spending time in a thread based on the holidays? Very counter-productive.

That being said, I go artificial tree or I don't go at all.

Balogne! You're gonna tell me why I feel a certain way? I've explained it the best I can, to me the holidays mean winter and relatives, and an annoying interruption of daily life.


So you really believe the only people who can celebrate Christmas are families, little kids and people living in the suburbs?  Absurd.

Yeah, but makes less sense to do so if the point is if one's thinking about Christmas. You don't think about it. So the question didn't pertain to you. But I'll send you some Christmas cheer anyway, rather you like it or not.

So you really believe the only people who can celebrate Christmas are families, little kids and people living in the suburbs?  Absurd. 


Yeah, hate me b/c I'm loved! haha it's so better than not being loved. Be still your non-beating heart.

I don't know how anyone can hate Christmas.  Alex, why must you always find bad in EVERYTHING? Maybe your dad is just trying to interject some Christmas cheer, some family togetherness...some normality....why can't you just embrace it? ???

Balogne!

You spelled that wrong

So you really believe the only people who can celebrate Christmas are families, little kids and people living in the suburbs?  Absurd. 


I basically see it as a familial holiday more for children. Thats the secular, commercial Christmas. The tree. The other side is the religious one, and like i said, I'm not a christian.

Christmas is a holiday for children.  You actually believe that.  Wow.



I guess my family is effed up because we put up a tree and we decorate our house and we go driving around looking at all the light displays and we exchange gifts and we listen to Christmas music and enjoy the holidays.....even though none of us are children anymore.  Wow....my family sucks.

And I am so excited about the cold front rolling in! Maybe I will wake in the morning to snow on the ground?
Highly unlikely since it has been so hot here as of late, but I can dream right!!! mahahaha

Ugh. I heard about the damn cold front, its supposed to hit here in less then an hour. I heard over in Abilene when it hit, the temperature dropped 18 degrees in two minutes. Thats just ridiculous.

Once I move to Florida you and joedeertae will be the only Texans on inthe00s, you know.

The temps haven't started to drop so  much here yet - but we are supposed to be at 28 by the morning.
Florida huh? Now if I could just get joedeertae to move then I will conquer ALL OF TEXAS!!!! ;D

Cold is awesome, snow is awesome and Christmas is freakin' awesome.

Hey no spreading Christmas Cheer! ;D

Cold is awesome, snow is awesome and Christmas is freakin' awesome. 


As long as it ain't too cold, single digit northeast Ohio dark winter mornings suck and with the wind, it can feel so very cold. upper 20s and 30s are ok.

;D Knock yourself out.

Yeah, I'm moving to Southern Florida(Miami area).


Cold is awesome, snow is awesome and Christmas is freakin' awesome. 


All three suuuuck. Especially cold and snow. That is why I am SO psyched to be moving to Miami, no real winter weather.

Sweet. :)

Earlier, the temp dipped 10 degrees within the span of 30 minutes.

Let me correct that - I went outside about 15 minutes ago for a smoke and the thermometer read 72.
I just checked it and now it is claiming 63!!!!

All three suuuuck. Especially cold and snow. That is why I am SO psyched to be moving to Miami, no real winter weather.


And the second you move there, a blazing freak blizzard is going to come calling.

Wishful thinking, anyways...

It's coming here too soon, bye bye 60s hello 30s and snow. I do love snow, but man I hate cold.


Two days ago, it just dropped down to the thirties here. But it doesn't snow... =/

All three suuuuck. Especially cold and snow. That is why I am SO psyched to be moving to Miami, no real winter weather.



Christmas does not in any way, shape or form....suck.

;D Knock yourself out.

Yeah, I'm moving to Southern Florida(Miami area).

All three suuuuck. Especially cold and snow. That is why I am SO psyched to be moving to Miami, no real winter weather.


Erm... they get winter weather. In the form of rain. A lot of it too!
And why the heck would you want to go deal with Hurricanes?

Yeah, Christmas sure does suck. 


So does the Miami weather.

Erm... they get winter weather. In the form of rain. A lot of it too!
And why the heck would you want to go deal with Hurricanes?



I live in North Georgia and we get hit with the remnants of hurricanes and other tropical systems and I hate it.  I can't imagine living where they hit directly.

The ice rink at Millenium Park is supposed to be cool now...and free!  :D

I wonder if the ice rink at the U of Chicago has frozen over as well.

;D Knock yourself out.

Yeah, I'm moving to Southern Florida(Miami area).

All three suuuuck. Especially cold and snow. That is why I am SO psyched to be moving to Miami, no real winter weather.


I hope you enjoy roasting in the summer.

I hope you enjoy roasting in the summer.



And dodging tropical systems.  Hopefully none like Andrew come around.

Erm... they get winter weather. In the form of rain. A lot of it too!

Rain does not equal winter weather, I was obviously talking about cold weather, not rainy weather. Rainy weather doesn't bother me that much. Infact I kinda like it.

As for hurricanes I'd much rather deal with a hurricane over winter or earthquakes. The only other place in the U.S. I'd live is the Bay Area, but with earthquakes you don't have time to prepare. As a natural disaster hurricanes are unique in that you truely have time to prepare and evacuate. Which I don't mind doing in exchange for tropical weather and beaches.


I hope you enjoy roasting in the summer.


I'll take a hot, hot summer over winter weather of any kind, any day. I don't think you understand how badly I can't stand cold weather. Cold weather=complete, miserable sh!t to me. You yankees just don't understand.



And dodging tropical systems.  Hopefully none like Andrew come around.


So what if they do? Newsflash: You can evacuate before a hurricane makes landfall.

^ Tell that to the Katrina victims.

^ Tell that to the Katrina victims.


Yeah well I don't plan to be living in poverty and not have a way of evacuating.

^ Tell that to the Katrina victims.



OH SNAP!

So what if they do? Newsflash: You can evacuate before a hurricane makes landfall.



Yeah, and then after the 239784938th time your house is destroyed and you have to rebuild it, you can come here and kvetch about how you wish you were living somewhere else.

So what if they do? Newsflash: You can evacuate before a hurricane makes landfall.


It's still a hassle, to say the least. I'd say it's best to hope that it doesn't come around than to hope it does.

Yeah, and then after the 239784938th time your house is destroyed and you have to rebuild it, you can come here and kvetch about how you wish you were living somewhere else.


What the hell do I care? I'm a renter.

Yeah and to me its a bigger hassle to live somewhere where it gets cold in the winter, or to live somewhere where I'd be worrying about earthquakes.

Yeah and to me its a bigger hassle to live somewhere where it gets cold in the winter, or to live somewhere where I'd be worrying about earthquakes.


Yes, because ALL earthquakes automatically destroy everything, even if they're slight. ::)

Stop hating on the earthquakes. They never did anything to you.

What the hell do I care? I'm a renter.

So naturally you wouldn't give a crap if your property was destroyed 239784938 times..........................because you rent.  Great logic.

Yeah and to me its a bigger hassle to live somewhere where it gets cold in the winter, or to live somewhere where I'd be worrying about earthquakes.


So living someplace hurricanes are known to make landfall is less of a hassle than living someplace where it gets cold and snows for maybe 3 months.....as opposed to hurricane season which goes from about May to November?  Awesome logic.

Yes, because ALL earthquakes automatically destroy everything, even if they're slight. ::)

Stop hating on the earthquakes. They never did anything to you.


The earthquakes delayed the 1989 World Series.  They suck.

The Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup last year though, so they don't suck as much.

Yeah and to me its a bigger hassle to live somewhere where it gets cold in the winter, or to live somewhere where I'd be worrying about earthquakes.


Well, then, you'd be hoping there are no earthquakes. Point is... If you're around hurricanes, I don't see why you would hope for one.

If the Red Wings hadn't beaten the Hurricanes that year, they would really have sucked.

So naturally you wouldn't give a crap if your property was destroyed 239784938 times..........................because you rent.  Great logic.



Right. The home wouldn't be a financial investment for me, so why would it bother me?

And you putting together a bunch of numbers like that is ridiculous, you're exaggerating and you know it. You act like if you live down there your home gets destroyed at least once every hurricane season.

Why do you think I am?

You just don't understand because you're a yankee.


Yeah, you d*mned Yankee scum!

*gives the Rebel yell*



;D

Well, not only do you have to replace your home, but you also have to replace everything inside that home...unless you have insurance, but you still gotta pay the deductible AND the premium.  So yeah, it adds up.

But what does it matter, it's not like YOU are paying the rent.

So you've successfully deduced that I was exaggerating.  Cookie for you! 


And me not understanding your crap logic has nothing to do with the fact that I'm from the midwest.  It has everything to do with the fact that I've lived in the midwest and now live in the South and 3 months of snow is less of a hassle than 6 months of tropical systems dumping rain and tornadoes over your house. 

Yeah, you d*mned Yankee scum!

*gives the Rebel yell*



;D




All y'all are Yankee haters.  All y'all.

You just don't understand because you're a yankee.


are you hatin' on us northerners?

Friggin' carpetbaggin' sumbishes.

I'm quite willing to take whatever inconvenciences come with living there. Bottom line, I refuse to live somewhere with winter. My hatred for it is deep, very deep..it truely is a Southern thing I think, you Northerners just don't get it.

And I'll most certainly be paying the rent, I'm getting my own place sometime in the next year.

Everything is perspective, Beth. You are a Northerner and grew up with horrible winters, therefore its natural that to you its easier to deal with snow than tropical rains. However I can't stand cold weather SO much, that for me, its easier to deal with tropical storm systems. You cannot imagine how I could prefer tropical rains, which you show through your reaction to what I'm saying to you. Likewise, for me, I cannot imagine how you can prefer snow and winter weather. But you do.

"Southerners" in Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, the Carolinas, and Georgia have had to deal with winters since before you were even a protocell.  But it's okay to be a pansy, don't fret.

Good luck with paying rent and the renter's insurance.

Oh give me a huge freakin' king sized break.  It is not a "Southern" thing to hate winter.  It's a "you" thing to hate winter.  And growing up in Chicago doesn't mean I had terrible winters.  Winters in Chicago are not blizzards 24-7 from November to March.  I lived through 1 blizzard in the 19 years I lived there.  Winters were cold, and there was snow, but it wasn't life-threatening or crippling.  You just dealt with it.

Hmm, doesn't ol' Chuck have a rule about straight-up insults? I've had him pm me more than once over it, maybe he should pm you.

Yeah, I'll have no problem. I and my roommate will both be making around 2 and half k a month.



Oh give me a huge freakin' king sized break.  It is not a "Southern" thing to hate winter.  It's a "you" thing to hate winter.  And growing up in Chicago doesn't mean I had terrible winters.  Winters in Chicago are not blizzards 24-7 from November to March.  I lived through 1 blizzard in the 19 years I lived there.  Winters were cold, and there was snow, but it wasn't life-threatening or crippling.  You just dealt with it.


Well I don't deal with it, period. And I cannot believe you can't just accept the way I feel about this, grow up.

I need to grow up, Mr. "Christmas sucks and is only for families with children in the suburbs"?

Yes, you do. I have the right to feel the way I do about holidays and cold weather, you're immature for trying to pick a fight with me about it.

I see.  So it wasn't the least bit immature of you to go off on your anti-Christmas rant in a thread devoted to Christmas?  Two-way street.

No, it wasn't. Where else would I talk about it? I wanted to talk about it, because it was bothering me.

In a thread....about something positive....about something you don't like.....you decide to trash it and whine about how much you don't like it.  That would be like going to into a thread about cheese and saying over and over again, "CHEESE SUCKS!!!111!!!"

The problem is that you seem negative about everything, "my life sucks" "christmas sucks" "snow sucks", etc. Are you EVER positive about anything?

Well I'm sorry but I don't see anything wrong with what I did, it seemed like the obvious place to talk about it. Its as simple as that.

Yes, until you get there. Then I'm sure you'll find something to complain about.

But usually, you gotta admit you're a pretty negative person. Negativity is only going to keep you depressed. You were talking about how your life sucks in thread about food, I mean come on.  ::)

You see nothing wrong with going into a thread about something you don't like and whining over and over again about how much everything about it effing sucks?  You see nothing wrong with that?

Negativity in action

Have you met the "Feel Any Way...." thread?  Allow me to introduce you.
