One of my pet peeves is the response of "oh that's not cold!" when talking about it getting near freezing in L.A. In the big picture, yes, that is not cold (I grew up in Minnesota, so I do know what cold really is - like when it's -20F and a wind chill of -40F and school is canceled simply because it's too cold).
But see, I moved to California for a reason. Because it's where 33F is considered 'freezing'. When it's 85F and sunny on Thanksgiving Day (less than 2 weeks ago), it's a bit of a rude awakening to wake up to temps that cold. I'm just sayin' I am very much acclimated to warmer weather and will have to bundle up for my trip to Disneyland tomorrow because it will only get up to about 55F.

OK, so it's sort of on topic.

I was so hurt ans shocked, I didn't know who it was at first, but I looked into it, and found that it was my own cousin who tried accessing my GW account.
Stupid me, I was tired, on some meds for my wrist and foot, and I my cousin was there wit me, normally I NEVER let anyone watch me on GW, but he's a big Stargate fan, and he wanted to join GW, so I was showing him the site. And me, against my better judgement, I actually logged on in front of him, so he saw my password, or part of it. Bottom line I took a nap, and he took my lap-top and tried logging in as me.
Problem is, he missed part of my password so he tried guessing it, but he failed 5 times, then the system locked him out. I was so hurt and upset, I can't trust him right now, and I had to change my password. Now I really know how helenmagnus23 felt when her former friend hurt her like that.
God knows what else he did, I can't believe I trusted him, almost everything someone tells or shows him he tries to use for himself. He's also tried opening my e-mail, locker at school you name it. I HOPE to God my GW account is the only one he went after.
on a brighter note thanks for the lovely card, kind words and the coin

Our kids get two weeks for Christmas and, I think, one or two for Easter. (It's a long time since my kids were at school!) They also get a week three times a year for half term.
Just curious.
MumseyOriginally posted by helenmagnus23 View PostHi Mumsey
Yes they do here they usually start here in OZ 12 Dec to the 26th January it's sometimes slightly different depending on the school for eg my sister's year finished a couple of week's earlier before the rest of the school .
I think it's the same for Easter over here and then they get a couple of week's in end of June to July and September to October it's different for a some school's here some finish earlier than other's .
I hope this is ok it's been a while since i was at school

And it depends on the school and year level...as soon as Niki finished her last exam, she was off...and Tom finished today...but they have to go back for their school reports next week...even though technically they should be at school til December 18.
Private schools have totally different start and end times again. But generally speaking Aussie schools are off for anywhere from 6 - 8 weeks for the Christmas/summer break. Plus term breaks and public holidays...all which make it hard for working mums who have to find childcare for their kids...but that's another story!

A panto is a pantomime - a play!
You need four-wheel drive and snow tires on that machine maybe even a plow on the front
Good luck with the panto Julia!
Oh and me thinks Sam would either stay on base while the weather was too bad to drive in, or definitely hitch a ride with Jack in his lovely big and honkin' truck!!
Happy birthday Neep!!

it's like one year we went up to minnesota for vacation. and they had a heat wave, it was 90 degrees with low humidity. coming from the midwest where we experience 100 degrees with 90% humidity, this was nothing.
but the minnesotians were literally dropping like flies. they weren't acclimated and couldn't tolerate it

Excellent reason for not posting. Have a great time!
With regard to the cold, antoa is right, it is all relative. The further south you live, the more you think "how can they stand the cold". Even where I am, I think I could never live in the northern part of my province, too cold!
BTW, never get into a cold competition with a Canuck, we'll always win. Case in point, -32C this morning with the windchill. On the bright side, frost is very pretty.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEEP!!! Hope you have a wonderful time. In honour of your birthday, you will not get the badge today!Last edited by EH-T; 09 December 2009, 06:35 AM.

So...... Sam had cars and motorbikes. How do you think she got to work in bad weather?
Personally, I think Jack came by with the snow plow on the front, cleared her driveway, then gave her a ride to the SGC. But that is just me

I think my aunt has made the most extreme moves I know of though. She moved from Michigan to Texas, then to Alaska, then to Hawaii, then back to Michigan and now she's in Texas again. Why anyone would leave Hawaii I don't know.
Don't you hate those negative numbers? It's actually been pretty mild here. We've been very lucky. Keep wondering when the remaining footwear will drop and we'll be plunged into the deep freeze. This will be the first cold snap we've really had this year.

She'd switch off her mobile, build a cozy fire, turn on the tea kettle and stay wrapped in colorful, fuzzy socks and flannels watching dvd's and reading...till at least midday. Then, she'd put on layers of warm clothes and trudge outdoors for some fun. Snowballs, snow angels, snow forts (built with an analytical, detailed eye of course) sledding and then finally, when the last of the daylight was seeping out of the sky, she'd get out the shovel and make quick work of clearing the driveway for work the next day.

I had a fun experience going into work last night. Roads were wet and slushy and with the temps dropping and the lack of any good road salt, everything was freezing up pretty quick and became a bit slippery.
Right now, its still trying to snow and the wind has picked up substantially. Typical for the area I live in though. It's not really a blizzard as the snow isnt much, but it has gotten even nippier outside. Temperature atm is 23F. Good thing I have a nice stock of hot chocolate to carry me through. With miniature marshmallows. Nom.
