Good for a laugh at our expense? December 15, 2004, 08:08:43 AM Oh, at first look you'll probably wanna throw a wrench at me (*glares at Crystal*) for posting this. But I've found that many northerners like to laugh at us Floridians when we complain about things like this. But hey, for us, THIS IS ED COLD!!! So go ahead, laugh away, knowing that a few million Floridians are more than likely complaining up a storm this morning, and it ain't even freezing here. :p Quote Selected
Re: Good for a laugh at our expense? Reply #1 – December 15, 2004, 08:22:55 AM I think you're suffering enough today *puts wrench away*And yeah, don't wanna hear about the cold! Carm, it's your job to show me up, you're one of the few people who gets colder weather than me. :wtf: Quote Selected
Re: Good for a laugh at our expense? Reply #2 – December 15, 2004, 08:34:26 AM I'm not really suffering today, but you can keep that wrench where it is, thank you very much. :pThanks to having 3 PCs in one small area, the bedroom stays above 70 degrees most of the time.. especially when we fire up the monitors.But I can guarantee you that half the people in the state are more than likely complaining their asses off this morning. :p Quote Selected

Re: Good for a laugh at our expense? Reply #5 – December 15, 2004, 08:43:19 AM Just remember, you're supposed to be laughing at the expense of millions of "suffering" Floridians.. not plotting how to injure just one of them. Quote Selected

Re: Good for a laugh at our expense? Reply #8 – December 15, 2004, 08:58:47 AM Unfortunately for me, I'm just dumb enough to go outside and try to do some car work today, if the mood hits me. And since I can't paint anything at this temperature, it'll probably be something idiotic like running more carb/choke cleaner through that upper intake I have sitting outside, and hosing it out with the well water. Said water was making my fingers numb yesterday.Uhhh, can you wait until after I do something stupid like that to hit me with the mallet? :p Quote Selected
Re: Good for a laugh at our expense? Reply #9 – December 15, 2004, 09:09:18 AM ugh, I suppose :shakehead And that's not THAT cold for car work. I've swapped a t/c nose on to my car in 2 feet of snow, and changed the power steering hoses in a snowbank. Cold is nothing! Quote Selected
Re: Good for a laugh at our expense? Reply #10 – December 15, 2004, 09:19:45 AM Are you THAT impatient to hit me with something? :pHonestly, the cold isn't that big of a deal to me. I just tell myself over and over again that I was born in Chicago, and it could be much worse. :D But if I do what I'm inclined to do today, I'll probably get wet while I'm out there.. and cold and wet is a bit different than just cold. :pThe big difference is probably clothing more than anything. You all have plenty of cold-weather clothing and pile it on when it gets to be what you consider cold. We just have a few sweaters and jackets, pretty much.I don't know about the old "thinning blood" argument. My fiance lived in Chicago until June of last year, and now she's as bad as everyone else in the state when it comes to what she'd have considered "cool" weather just a couple years ago.The temperature is more of a novelty to me than anything. Kinda like if you got hit by a hurricane. :p (not that I'm advocating that, even if you DO hit me with more tools) :p Quote Selected
Re: Good for a laugh at our expense? Reply #11 – December 15, 2004, 09:35:26 AM I suppose this thread would be more fun for ya if I were actively complaining about the "cold", so here goes:WAAH! WAAH! It's freakin' COLD OUT THERE! Oh the HUMANITY!Remember.. rubber mallet. If I see wrenches, I'm using Ifixyawata as a shield. :p Quote Selected

Re: Good for a laugh at our expense? Reply #13 – December 15, 2004, 10:19:49 AM So I figure out something that would be good to do while it's cool outside, (sanding parts of the '88 that are eventually going to be painted.. going to do one quarter panel in the spray paints of the colors I want to use for the whole car, just to see how it looks on the car) and the batteries for my Firestorm cordless are just about ped out after 2 years of abuse. Oh well. 48 and windy out there now.. was rather pleasant. Maybe it's time to track down the corded sander. :D Quote Selected
