A message for northern folks

[Marine91]

You can take back your cold weather anytime now. A windchill of 8 degrees in Houston is nuts.

I woke up to 4 degrees here, feels like -15… the high today is 7. This place is insanity, they were calling for 4 inches of snow and we probably got 4 snowflakes… LOL The kids were supposed to go back to school on Tues, and they already cancelled classes till Wed. They overreact here like nobody's business…

Same here. My daughter goes back tomorrow but if it decides to rain it will probably get cancelled as well.

I grew up in DC, plus I have lived in Alaska. I don't mind driving in snow, but these idiots are insane… drive like maniacs on icy/snowy roads. I won't drive in it unless I absolutely have to because I'm afraid of getting rear-ended again. I keep telling my hubby I want a Range Rover… LOL

Hey Todd forgot to ask, how is your wife doing?

You mean a Rain Rover? Those things leak like a waterfall after about 2 years. I was going to get my wife one and it was raining the day i test drove it and it was soaking wet inside of it.

LMAO!!! They are so dang expensive… I would NEVER get one!!! I remember when the hummer's were all the rage… I wanted one of those too.

Tracey, it 5 degrees at my house.I have to go outside and chop ICE for the animals. That is hard work! We had weather like this in the '90's (NO-not 1890's!) We had ice storms and were without elec. for 5 days. It was awful!
My sis lives near D.C. and I lived in N.J. I used to drive in two feet of snow-didn't even have 4 wd! My old cars were like tanks!! Now I am chicken-but people here sure don't know how to drive in snow OR rain. Just don't slow down for any reason! Except, years ago-they used to drive
slow lookin' for GROUNDHOGS!!!! and THAT IS the truth!! If you got stuck behind them-cussin'!!

Oh I agree Lynn, they are idiots here in the rain as well… I can't stand it!!! Chopping ice sounds very exhausting… I hope you bundle up!!! I'm afraid we will lose power, some people already have… we have a gas fireplace so at least we will have some heat. I really worry about all the animals here… people are so stupid here they will just throw out hay for their dogs. It is NOW illegal to do it… they are supposed to have shelter, but in this weather that won't matter. These backwoods idiots could careless.

Tracey,you are so right! When I moved here-I had never been here. I was so excited thinking everyone would have animals, horses,go riding, etc. I was SHOCKED! No one cared about anything but COWS. The poor cows didn't even have shelter! I got a jopb working for the only veterinarian around(several farmers CALLED themselves vets) THIS one actually had been to Veterinary school! They would bring a dog in, who had been sick forever-was a deaths door. He would doctor it, perform a MIRACLE-perhaps even major surgery. They would come back to get the dog, after a week or so. He was say $50.00. They would say"keep the dog, I ain't payin' $50-I can get me another dog for free!" I learned I was in the wrong place-but it was too late! So, I've been here ever since. It's improved some-but mostly because more people from other places have come here! N.J> was getting crowded and expensive-but most I knew took care of their animals!! That's my RANT for today-Ahm gittin' riled!! ha!

Well I'm not here by choice, Thank Uncle Sam for that… LMAO!!! It's beautiful in the country, but I'm disgusted w/the schools, the county government, and the way they treat their animals. A lot of northerners live here because of the military, and I've seen some changes… good ol' boy system here, and they pretty much stick to it. I'm hoping at some point to move...

 

[Manydogs]

Take me with you...........?!

LMAO!!! We went on a vaca to Rosemary beach in Florida & my hubby said he would LOVE to live there. I like the mountains too… I guess it's wherever the jobs are at this point!!!
