Temperature Rant

It would really be nice if Kansas would pick a temperature and stick with it for awhile. These swings in degrees are kicking me in the head. At least in Minnesota when it got cold -- it stayed cold! The stadol stone is getting old and the meds are getting low. New corporate insurance again in 2003. Tight ass bastards!
There, I feel better getting that off my chest!
The MB seems a little slow -- is every one asleep?

Hey echo - that's what they make hats for, bud. Keeps the cold off the bald spot. Light a fire tonight and curl up with a good book (or a loved one?).
stay warm

At least I assume you are getting some cold. You are lucky. Here in WIsconsin were the temps normally dip to 20 or 40 below with the windchills has been around 50 above all winter. We have gotten no snow and it has been quit depressing. I hear your complaint about temps changing that messes with my head to but I just wish ours would change and for the better of our winter. It is still like fall here. The insects will be plentiful and hard to get rid of come summer without a hard freeze. It has only gotten below freezing a few times. Im sad.

A few days ago we were enjoying 63(F) and then I had to go to work. 400miles away it was -20(F) (not including wind-chill) when I arrived. WOW, what a wake-up call! Can't wait to get out of here.

9erfan -- Well I did get her to her doctor. She has hormone pills and another rx for depression. She is takinghte hormone but not the depression pills. Can't force feed her so I'll deal with it. Alcohol is a problem with her, she is much better when she has nothing to drink.
She is much better now -- she is out of town. Yeehaw!!
and I'm still at work doing year end employee evaluations. Party!!!!!
You know -- I'm getting too old for dealing with her crap. But I am truly, desperately, and undenyably in love with that woman! I just cannot picture myself without her in my life. She's out of town and deep in my soul I miss her. I won't sleep well tonight without being able to hear her breathing. I'm a sick man!

Hey echo....that is really lovely, don't change cos there arn't many like you around...depression is an illness, crush them pills in her dinner....  yep that means you'll have to offer to cook her a nice meal.. ;D
As far as the weather goes...in the last week we've had temps ranging from -7 freezing fog, snow, floods and hey guess what today we've got warmer and gales.... ???
Me thinks things are warming up.... ;D

Should take around 21 days for the hormone pills to start kicking in. In the meantime, I say keep partying while you have the chance.

Hey Echo- maybe this will help to get over minnesota weather............. Right now at 8:30 pm outside on my front porch.......temperature is -5 deg F. (-21c) - wind speed gusting to 25 mph. - wich makes for a balmy wind chill factor of ......-50 deg F. (-45c) .......  .......... last week temps hit 60 deg. F. ..... I was raised in the Arizona dessert where a brutal winter day was in the 40s. This sucks. Cabo San Lucas on the baja the temp is in the 70s. I cant find a plane ticket untill febuary. Anyone want to loan me a fast plane outa here. Got a time share waiting there..  ..mj

I hear ya there! I lived 20 miles south of witchita a few years back and Kansas remains the most inclimate place I've lived yet. Mom stayed, I'll never figure out why.
Living in northern Illinois now, not much better here, Today's high was only in the low twenties and even though the wind isn't nearly the caliber it was in Kansas I still gotta warm up my jumblies when I come inside.
Here's a question that hopefully will take your mind off the weather:
How can a football team be the highest scoring in the entire NFL and NOT make the playoffs?
Not intended to be an insult I'm a HUGE chiefs fan and I am still struggling with that one.

Cerebus -- no insult taken. I agree with you. It amazes me (ok not really) that they choked getting into the playoffs. They remind me of the Vikings from the Tarkenton years -- so close, yet so far away.
Then we look back at Gannon being our Chiefs backup QB and the front office put their money on Garbac, now where the H is that idiot. And we can sit back and watch our ex-2QB march his team to the playoffs. I cannot imagine that Priest Holmes was that big of a presence to the Chiefs offense. Guess he was the offense.
Just wait until next year.

Dumb el Nino! I'm in Wisconsin too and really wish things would get back to normal. I hate not having snow and the temp swings wreek havoc on my CH's too. I guess I'm not the only one in that boat as I see that Karla is a fellow clustercheesehead.
BTW, thanks to all on this board for sharing their experiences/treatments. The O2 is a Godsend and is unbelievable. I've got 5 more tanks coming and I've been able to abort every attack (even nightime ones) before they make me resort to trying to crash my head through our steel door.

Woke up this morning and checked the thermometer outside the kitchen window. Froze and cracked. Guess after -32C (-26 F), it just doesn't matter anymore!

I'll join this rant!
The weather can't make up it's damned mind, and my hubby the AF meteoroligist is catching hell everyday from me. And yes, I continually hear the saying "I'm just the messenger".
We had a week of temps in the 50's an this week we are at lows in the -8 F range. Not to mention the 4 feet of snow that tug hill got (we got off lucky and only 2.5 feet)
Then it rains, and it half melts, then freezes and makes a great brick layer between the bottom 2 feet and top 2 feet of snow making it impossible to shovel and damn hard work with the snowblower.
Then of course the snowdozer comes through and leaves me with a mountain in the front yard! No friggin wonder everyone is getting sick. Can't pick a temp and stay wit it!
Lovely picture of life in upstate:

Holy WOW, Cat!!
Out here in south-western Canada, we haven't even got a full inch of snow yet. Just a skiff that fell last night, to cover the skiff we got on the weekend. Makes for interesting driving because the first skiff is now ice. We had a bit of a cold blast these last few days, but we're headed back up to be above zero°C for the next few days. It was -10°C this morning, but this will be the last of the arctic air for us, apparently, for the next few days.
You guys are sure getting nailed out east this year - Ontario is in the MINUS 30's this week!! We're praying that you don't get any more ice storms out there. Hang in there, easterners!!

I'm begging my boss here in Saskatoon to let me go back to Calgary and work from home. -10 C is a heatwave out here! Amazing what 400miles can do.
Negril, here I come (if not in body, at least in mind). I can almost feel the sand between my toes, hear the reggae, see the bikinis.

Yeah, Grant, Toon Town just gets stupid cold sometimes.
It's when it starts hurting your skin to be outside that you know it's time to come home to Chinook country.
and, ps, Echo - YES, crushing up pills in her food (!) could make her WAY worse. Anti-depressants can really mess you up if they're not the right strength or type. Cathy, you just scare me sometimes.
