It is May 18 and I am still in sweats and running the furnace. So much for global warming!
How 'bout you? Which is more suitable to your weather? Sweats or shorts? Do you live North, South, East, West or Southwest of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania?

Kansas City, Mo... summertime is dreadful... shorts all the way. I am not a huge sweats guy anyway.

Memphis here... The temp right now is 58. Very unusual for this time of year. I don't do sweats though. Scrubs for me. I have my home scrubs and my work scrubs. LOL

When it hits 115 with the heat index here, I'll be in shorts though.

58 that is sweats weather to me!

70+ is starting to be ready for the shorts.

Richmond, IN here. It is a gorgeous day out with shorts. I'm not a fan of sweats so I try to stay away from them. Since I don't go for sweats, I go for the bluejeans. ;0

I am not a fan of sweats either but sometimes you got to wear what you got to wear and I hate freezing.

Indiana and you have it warmer than I do! :(

None of the above :p
Darn Yankees.

I am not a fan of sweats either but sometimes ya gotta wear what ya gotta wear and I hate freezing.

Indiana and you have it warmer than I do!? :(

Yah were are you at?

My fur isn't as thick as the puppy's, so the law says shorts at least.

I live in New York and I always wear a sweatshirt with Capri's along with my Bear Claw boots. Except for when I am going work. Work attire is scrubs.

Saturday I hosted an outdoor dinner/pool party for 16:( I wore my bathing suit and cabana pants. It became a pool/dinner party because the weather man said 102:eek:

Sunday I wore only a bathing suit since it was also 102.

Today at 98, I am in shorts, but I also had to go to work!:mad: Soon I will be back in B suit:)

I never wear sweats unless I am freezing and that rarely happens. Jeans and thick socks all the way:D

B suit

Is that B for bathing or birthday?

yah were are you at?

I'm in Australia, Tasmania specifically... little island right down the bottom

http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/australia/_derived/map.htm_txt_australia-map.gif

Wow. Don't you have good weather done there?

It's one of those places where you wake up in the morning and its nearly snowing and by lunch time you can go for a swim...
Summer is very very hot
Winter is freezing!!

Wow sorry about the winter thing. I hate winter with a passion. Some people like summer, some people like winter, but I like the spring. So full of life.. it's pretty :)

Autumn's more colorful, Oscar.

Shaz, how many seasons do you get in those high latitudes?

That's a good question, how many seasons do you get in australia?

I've been wearing shorts since April except at work. I live east of Pittsburgh.

Lucky spitvenom. I just stared wearing them this week.

HA HA HA

We get to choose all year round. Come on down, the water's fine.

Georgia 37 degrees this morning!
BLAH!!

Its going up to 73 today FINALLY!

lucky spitvenom. i just stared wearing them this week.

Yeah but I am always hot most people think I am crazy when I wear shorts in January.

I know women like that. They sit in the livingroom fanning themselves with the ceiling fan on and the furnace at 64 degrees on a 10 degree winter day.
Then they tell me there is something wrong with me when I say I am cold.

My wife is like you NO. She is always cold. When I go to sleep I turn the heat off open windows she freezes. I offer to close the windows but she said being cold is better then you getting all sweaty and ruining the sheets.

Haha I don't like her way of thinking cause I'd rather be comfortable with ruined sheets than have pnemonia

Mauritius, 60 to 70 F, but quite cold lately. Some kind of anticyclone nearby... Specialists expect the lowest temperature to reach 40 F this winter, the lowest Mauritius has ever had.

We have a tempurpedic bed. That thing just keeps your body heat right on you. If we didn't have that bed I wouldn't need to open the windows. It get unbearably hot in the middle of the night.

Yeah but I am always hot most people think I am crazy when I wear shorts in January.

I'm sorry for saying this, but I think that your crazy for wearing shorts in jaunary. :p but what kind of temperature is it in January where you live?

What are these shorts things you all are talking about? ;)

I'm in Canada, Alberta to be exact. It snowed yesterday, snowing today, tomorrow it's supposed to be 13 degrees Celsius, 21degrees by Saturday. I'll be in shorts come Saturday.

The saying here is 10 months of winter, 2 months of construction. ;)

Holy crap! I would go crazy because of all the snow. I can handle a few months, but 11! Holy cow!!

holy crap! i would go crazy because of all the snow. i can handle a few months, but 11! holy cow!!!

Well that's just the joke. ;)

Actually we usually have snow come October, November at the latest and it usually lasts until around March. But, it starts getting chilly in September, jackets, boots, mitts and doesn't really warm up enough to go sans jacket until May.

Alberta really isn't that bad considering other Canadian provinces and our summers are nice, really hot.

The sad thing right now, my tulips are in full bloom and it's snowing. There's something really wrong with that. ;)

I meant 10 sorry about that. And about the tullips, there so pretty in my opinion and so are orchads.

Love the tulips, sadly they don't like the snow, they're not fairing so well. You'd think they'd be used to it by now. ;)

I have a few perennials in my front planting area, but I prefer to change it up every year so I usually go with annuals.

The rule is never to plant until after the May long weekend. Well, that was this last weekend and here it is snowing. So much for that rule. ;)

I'll wait until mid June this year.

That would be a good idea about waiting until June. Poor flowers. Snow is so cruel! :p

im sorry for saying this, but i think that your crazy for wearing shorts in jaunary. :p but what kind of temperture is it in january where you live?

In Philly anywhere between 40 degrees all the way down to 20 degrees. My football coach in high school always wore shorts he said it was mind over matter so I started that also. Sometimes the matter over takes the mind though.

LOL! Ok, spitevenom, you football coach is a strong person at mind :p

Alty, I bet all these weird things about temperature and season is linked with global warming... It is said that even if the gas emissions are stopped, the Earth will still warm up due to that excess of carbon dioxide. :(

Yeah I went to a gardening class the other week and the girl said they want to change the planting guidelines for where I live from a zone 5 to a zone 6 because of global warming.
I didn't know if I should laugh or cry cause we have global cooling and nobody seems to see it. It use to be HOT from Easter to Labor day. Now we are lucky if June and July get hot.

Everywhere is getting hotter in summer and colder in winter :( The temperature gaps are widening... Come to it, my physics teacher once mentioned that Mauritius have had snow, in the form of hail :eek:(is that like ice balls?) Well, that was a year or two ago but it was short lived.

You've never seen hail Unky? OMG! You truly live in paradise.

I have to confirm what hail is. I probably have seen in TV, one of the worst hails perhaps. Ice balls bigger than tennis balls were falling. Is that really hail?

Yes, unk, but that's kind of extreme. An inch (2cm) diameter is large

Ok, thanks Catsmine! Now, I'm positive, there has once been hail in Mauritius!

Got to say sweats, tends to be cold here a lot of the time, but for when it gets hot, scrap the shorts, 3/4 lenghts all the way :D

I like skirts, they're fun. I wear a lot of skirts in the summer and spaghetti strap tops.

Of course you can't go commando in a skirt, one swift wind and you're in jail for indecent exposure. :(

Yeah it finally got warm enough yesterday the 20th so I plan to start wearing skirts and sun dresses until shorts weather.

I have to confirm what hail is. I probably have seen in TV, one of the worst hails perhaps. Ice balls bigger than tennis balls were falling. Is that really hail?
I used to live in the Chicago area and 'hail' would destroy your car. Golf balls the weight of lead (or seems like it) would come down and just dent, dent, dent! Insurance does wonders! :)

35 miles s. w. of Chicago, it has been just gorgeous here for the last two weeks... mostly around 57 to 80 degrees and a lot of sunshine... buy stick around it can change in an instant... but now you can wake up to 68 degrees and all the birds singing...

Alty our tulips have already bloomed and passed over...

A little further south here... hon. All the trees have bloomed and the flowers on them are gone also... except the Dogwood Tree... it is still beautifully flowered with a ton of little pink flowers.

Marta told me that they were pink... remember I am color blind to red, pink and green... the only way I know that the grass needs watered is if the blades are all sloped over... he hee.. it always looks brown. All reds and greens are different shades of... brown, always have been... I enjoy drawing and painting... when I was in 5th grade a teacher made fun of me in front of the whole class because I painted the grass in my painting brown... oh well... I'm sure she won an award for her sensitivities.

-Me

That's awful stringer :(
I would have cried and got her fired hehe

We had a boy at our school who was completely color blind... yup, black white and grey only...
It's strange that most color blind people can't see red and green. They are completely different!
I know there is some scientific explanation... it just baffles my tiny brain is all :D

Actually most women are not color blind at all... however, most women carry the color blindness gene and pass it on to their male children. Poor guys... short end, again... (sigh).

Almost every time that I mention this to people they will inevitably tpoint to something that they are wearing and ask: "what color is this?" I always say "red"...dah...(I'm not too stupid). Why would they point to something blue? Or, they will ask: "how do you know that the traffic light changes to red?" I answer "well, I watch the car beside me....if they move, I take off..." (he hee). Actually you learn to make adjustments, you learn that the red light is usually the one at the bottom or to the right on the traffic light... and of course there is always completely bent over grass...

Just have to be more observant... life's little burdens...

Stringer

You should live here Stringer, we have brown grass, then green for a while then white. Easy peezy! :)

Our trees are just starting to bud. My lilac tree outside is a very late bloomer, always around 2 weks behind the others in the neighbourhood. It probably won't bloom until the end of June. I'll take pictures, it's a beautiful tree. Also, bonus, the neighbour I barely tolerate is allergic to lilacs. Tee hee. I'm thinking of getting another one. ;)

Must be hard but I guess having never seen the colors it wouldn't matter too much.

That's evil Alty... buy two more :p

What I think what I miss the most (cause I have never seen it) are all these beautiful sunsets that have what my wife calls gorgeous hues of red, pink... nope,(Hmmm, it occurs to me here now that she may be getting even her for something... a bit spiteful... 'we have to talk!") I can see most basic colors but no greens or reds OR any color that has those colors in them such as pink. Now they have all these variations of many more reds, pinks, greens... can you even begin to imagine my dilemma when Marta took me to the paint store when we had the inside of our home painted!? :eek: Headaches... And we used over 15 different 'earth colors'... learned that includes lots of the Baaaaad ones... he hee.

Stringer

Maybe an entire orchard. Hee, hee.

She's an annoying neighbour.

She's widowed but started dating someone shortly after her husband died. She's in her late 50's early 60's. Our front yards connect, small front yards to begin with.

When she first moved in she complained about mowing the lawn, so we started mowing it for her. That's what neighbours do, right? Well she came over one day and complained that we hadn't been giving her lawn enough water. Um, what? You have water dear, do it your lazy a$$ self.

So I told her we'd water both lawns but alternate hoses so that we're not paying for all the water. She didn't understand why, didn't like that idea so she paid $10,000 to have her entire yard ripped up and put rocks in. It looks horrible. It looks like someon buried an elephant under rocks in her yard. The yard is simply too small to pull off a rock garden.

Well, her new boyfriend has a dog, she doesn't like dogs (she's living next to the wrong person) and doesn't want the dog in her house, so she lets it wander the neighbourhood. Since the dog obviously can't potty on the rocks she sends it to our yard to do it's thing. My front yard is a dog poo/pee free zone. My own dogs aren't allowed to deficate or urinate on my front yard. That's where the kids play. Not okay!

So I asked her to please stop letting the dog kill my grass. Her response, "what's the big deal, it's only poo, just pick it up". Alrighty then. Scoop the poop and throw it into her rocks.

Ya, I don't do well with annoying people. :(

Wow,. another one that will testify for you at the 'Golden Gate'... LMAO!

Wow,...another one that will testify for you at the 'Golden Gate'...LMAO!

Stringer, I've already accepted that fact that I'll never see the Golden gate. I'm going down! Sigh.

Hahaha you are a lot more understanding than me Alty!!

Fair enough you mowed her front lawn... yes, that is what neighbours do but for her expect you to water it too.. pfffft, I would have just stopped doing it altogether!

You spent 10k on her garden!!
I hope she has a will and she put you in it!

Stringer, I've already accepted that fact that I'll never see the Golden gate. I'm going down! Sigh.

Then let it all out Alty... you got a one way ticket? :eek::rolleyes:

Whoops I read that wrong...
She still better put you in her will lol

THAT Shaz is an excellent point... Alty.. it is spelled S...T...R...I..N...G...E...R....but I have a signature stamp if that will help...
After all... 'live fast and quick' right?

Stringer, if I put you in my will all you'll get is the debt and a pair of slightly worn socks. Trust me, my will is not one anyone wants to be in! ;)

But, you're in my heart! Dang I'm good. :)

I'll take the slightly worn socks... the dryer keeps eating mine.

Alty, any cattle pasture nearby? Your kids could practice for the "cowflop toss" event.
(Yes there really is one)

:eek: :eek:

Yep, its never ending poop with bunnies... unfortunately the dogs love to eat it :eek:
I've been meaning to ask you if that's bad for them? :confused:
Bunnies half clean up after themselves... Dora actually sticks her head between her legs and waits for the poop to come out so she can eat it... I know they are supposed to digest twice, but when it's still warm... bleck!

Sorry, bit off topic there...

You could always get some rubber snakes to put in her rock garden :p

Too evil?

Hi, Unky;

Okay, yes, I have the gift for gab, it's a gal thing. ;)

Hi Cats and Unky.

Oh, Stringer, a good white wine goes with the poo. Do not do red wine, bad things will happen. :eek:

How do you know Unky? Have you tried it? Hmmmm?

Nope, the sight of it is enough to make me run :eek: lol Actually, there are many near my home. There's a 'plain' or 'unused land' nearby with hares hiding... ;)

How do you know Unky? Have you tried it? Hmmmm?Nor will I.

Hares and rabbits, very different.

Don't eat hare poo! :eek:

But I guess they have the same shape? These small, egg-like poo, about the size of half an inch?

Rabbit pie, however...

But I guess they have the same shape? These small, egg-like poo, about the size of half an inch?

Same shape yes, same content no. :eek:

Rabbit poo is mostly grains. They have a wicked digestive system.

Unky, read "Watership Down" great book about bunnies. :)

Anyway, not bunny poo nor hare poo for me. My cheese are enough. Have you ever tasted the French cheese? Those which stink, have a very strong taste.

Shall we silflay, then

Shall we silflay, then

Awww, that just made me all warm and fuzzy.

I love that book, really do. Sigh.

Got to run.

Later kids.

Sorry, Catsmine, silflay's not in my vocabulary... :(

It's a made up word in rabbit language from the book. It means go out and eat(graze)

Rabbit pie, however...

Ooooough Ooooohhhh! :eek: "Danger Will Robinson, Danger!!!!!":eek::eek:

I have a really quick question... how did we get on the of the weather, then gardening, then animlas, and now rabbit droppings? Wow this site is coming along excellent. Lol :p

Same shape yes, same content no. :eek:

Rabbit poo is mostly grains. They have a wicked digestive system.

Unky, read "Watership Down" great book about bunnies. :)

Is that the cartoon about the animals in the lab?

I saw that when I was little and I will never watch it again :(

Yeah oscarlicious, you get used to it :p

I'm surpeised it went to bunny poo and not sex :rolleyes:

'bright eyes'

Shaz,

Read the book. The film did not do it justice. BTW, the film was about bunnies escaping a construction site.

That's what happens in most of the lounge threads oscar :p!

It's a great book kids, really, read it!

It's all about bunnies and the will to survive when their world is turned upside down.

The story revolves mainly around one bunny that decides that it's time to leave the home he's lived in forever because there's danger.

A few of the rabbits go with him and they start to travel hoping to find a new home and mates.

Of course there are a lot of obstacles that they encounter and... wait, why am I telling you?

Read the book! :)

The problem is that I may not find the book here in Mauritius... have to look for it :)

The problem is that I may not find the book here in Mauritius... have to look for it :)

Unky, I love this book so much that I would be willing to send you a copy just to have you read it. It really is a wonderful book. :)

Perhaps you can mail it to me? I'll PM you my mail.

Shaz,

Read the book. The film did not do it justice. BTW, the film was about bunnies escaping a construction site.

Ooooh OK, I mut be thinking of the wrong one... that is going to bug me... what was that darn movie called then?

I'll see if I can find the book!

I googled a vague description and I think it was the 'secret of nimh'
I saw this movie probably 16 years ago so I don't remember much other than it was really sad.

I was thinking of that one, too, from your description. Get the book, you will be more grateful for this advice than for chicken bullion ice cubes.

If you're going to advertise for me, be sure to tell 'em about the "support this member" button, too.

I like skirts, they're fun. I wear alot of skirts in the summer and spaghetti strap tops.

Of course you can't go commando in a skirt, one swift wind and you're in jail for indecent exposure. :(

Summer skirts or simple dresses with flip flops. 3rd choice is shorts. I'm on the hot side about three quarters of the year, so sweats in the dead of winter only.
They don't call it Hotlanta for nothing.:cool:

Exactly! My neighborhood pool opened 3 weeks ago and I have yet to go because of the skitzo weather. Rain, shine, rain, shine, but hey the grass is growing like crazy. And speaking of crazy, the humity/rain combo is playing havoc with my hair. Haven't had a good hair day in about a month.

Yes, GRITS stands for Girls raised in the south. There is even a book by that name. Plus, there is nothing like a good hot bowl of grits with butter from The Waffle House. It's right up there with a fresh warn Krispy Kream donut.

Grits have no taste by themselves...you have to paste them with sugar, butter, maple syrup, and (ice cream) to like 'um.....I lived in Raleigh for 5 years and I tried and tried...but....:rolleyes:

Maybe you have to have been brought up on them. Sugar, syrup, ice cream, yuk! Don't put anything sweet in them. That's for oatmeal. You've seen the Quaker Oats variety pack oatmeal haven't you? They also have variety pack grits. Grits, with butter, or cheese, or bacon bits and more. One thing I could never wrap my mouth around was "cream of wheat." Disgusting. Slimey.

Grits at the flying biscuit has ALWAYS done me good.

Also, I literally live within 5 min walking distance to waho... it destroys my girlish hourglass figure though :(

By the way NOHelp, I think I mentioned to you before that I was born and raised southeast of Pittsburgh. Born in Greensburg and raised in the Penn Hills area near Monroeville.

Then that was it, why I never liked them... just another trick that was placed on this Damn Yankee... they lied to me and sat back to watch the results... sigh. :rolleyes: he hee
