i leave on the 18 and come back on 30th

its always snowing in the winter and they get hot summers as well

Where in Germany are you going?

cool i always thought they were the same as us

about 1 hour south of nuremberg

I like it when it snows just enough to leave a dusting and makes the surrounding look like a Christmas card. It's when the shoveling part comes in that it's a pain in the ass. Literally.

I woke up to sleet this morning. It is raining now. When the Col. got home from work this morning he said the roads were very slick. Winter has arrived.

Obviously there is no snow here, but would you believe it got down to 37 degrees last night? It's only 47 right now. I am all bundled up in a blanket and my furnace is working overtime. I'm such a wuss.

Hey TB, I even heard parts of Arizona had snow today. It's not in your area is it?


TIS

You should be in Texas now. Wonderful weather, not too cold, not too hot. But knowing the dallas weather, I won't say it with any conviction. In half hour, it may rain or snow or both or be scorching hot

Svsg,

Where in Texas are you if I may ask?

Also, any word on that job interview you went to in San Diego?


TIS

It snowed, then rained, then froze last night. Left work at 5, had to scrape snow and ice off my car, few hours later I went out for soup and had to scrape more ice off my car, and again when my wife went to work at 10.

The ice was thick, the scraper wouldn't move it, had to use the other side to break it up first.

Dallas, very near my university, UT Dallas. No TIS, they did not get back to me with any decision, so I take it as I did not get that job. However, there is a good news. I got a good job in Dallas two days back. I haven't got the offer letter yet, so I did not announce it. Hopefully by the middle of this week, I will get it. And also I am graduating next week. So it is a change of pace (and also phase) in life for me now

Good for you svsg.

That is good news Svsg. I presume your delighted to be able to stay in Dallas. Good luck to you. I hope all goes well.


TIS

Thanks Deniro and TIS. Dallas suits my lifestyle, laid back and comfortable, and not bursting with activity.

Literally? You shovel snow with your ass?? Try a shovel next time... then it's only a pain in the back...

Are you anywhere near Ducanville?

It is 30 miles from where I live. I am in North Dallas, Duncanville is South Dallas.

A shovel? THAT's what I'm forgetting.

It's a pain in your ass when you slip on ice and fall on it.

I am so jazzed. I now own Seasons 1 -4 of The Sopranos!!! Yea!!!!!!




TIS

Been there done that.

I'll never forget when I was little my dad was walking to the car to go to work and he slipped on the ice and broke his leg.

I may be on the other side of the fence now, but believe I know what you guys mean. I absolutely hated shoveling snow. My toes/fingers would go numb; :(I hated backing out of my driveway and slip/sliding into a snowbank and have to shovel myself out or get some help pushing me out; I hated getting into a freezing car in the morning (which is why I let it run for about 20 minutes before I stepped in it); I hated right after shoveling, waking up to yet another snow storm. And, I remember being nice and warm under the covers and having to start the day by freezing my ass off.

Gee, that's why I moved to California.

TIS

That's why I loved living in VA. When it snows you rarely have to shovel cuz it don't snow that much. But on the downside people there don't know how to drive in it.

When it snowed heavily back in the day, I used to watch my dad put snow chains on our car (so he could go to work). There he'd be, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, jacking up the car in the garage, and in between curses, putting the chains on the tires.

I learned a few good (curse) words from those snowy days.

My mom broke her leg the night BEFORE the blizzard of was it 1969? They were having a surprise party for my aunt, and she and her other sister had gone to pick up the cake. She slipped carrying the cake, and, rather than drop the cake, let her leg twist under her when she fell. She broke her ankle in 3 places, drove herself to the ER (her sister didn't have a license), got it cast, and still made the party. She was in a cast from her toes to her groin. Everyone who saw her assumed she had slipped and fallen in the snow. She was so embarrassed to admit that she fell the night before, that she just went with the whole blizzard story after a while.

Hey, I haven't seen Geoff around in a few days. Anyone see him???? Maybe I missed his posts I don't know. Just hope he's ok. Don't know why, but it seems like quite a while. YO GEOFF!!!!!!!



TIS

Geoff? Won't see him no more.

OMG! You whacked him?


Good one DMC!


TIS

He posted in the Yankees thread pretty recently.

Me too, got a deal at barnes and nobles once so they ended up being $25-30 each. Guess I'll wait a few years for the prices to drop on the rest

Oh where oh where has our Geoffy gone? Oh where oh where can he be?
