Oh my Lord Sonja! -30? And here I was whining because it was 2 with the windchill factor. Where do you live? Never mind- I see in your profile that you live in Ontario. I didn't realize it got that cold there.

Yikes! Please do whatever you can to stay warm!. Severe cold affects us both mentally and physically. I know my RSD pain is worse in the winter. And of course, depression soars this time of year.

But we can build a virtual fire and get under our blankets and stay put!
Will you join me?

Sandy

so have you thought of joining us on our trip to see seekn in australia this mornings breakfast? LOL it is summer there and he has a big pad! Lily pad that is...LOL

wow it is cold there....bet they are ice fishing someplace near you...LOL

yikes! i've been feeling like i'm going to die and it's only in the teens here (feels like about 0 with the wind chill - still very cold). there was a point this morning when i first got to work where i stopped to talk to someone outside where i had my hand out of my mittens for about 30 seconds and i could have sworn my fingers were going to fall off. i am definitely not a fan of this cold.

I could not survive in temps that cold!!!

Well, I don't mean to rub it into any of your faces, lol, but it is in the 60's and 70's here in Texas. I wish you all could have this beautiful weather we are experiencing.

I can't even imagine what -30 would feel like! Or 2 degrees, either! I hope you all stay warm and cozy during this cold spell.

Hugs,
Lori

Right now, it's 4 degrees here, so I shouldn't complain if you're dealing with -30 !!! But you're right -- the cold IS paralyzing. And it's so darn PAINFUL.

I just can't stand this horrendous cold. My legs go into a flare that puts me into bed. Plus the back follows suit too. This is NO fun. But this summer I just know I'm going to be hollering about the humidity and the heat. Ya just can't make us Michiganders happy! LOL Hugs, Lee

I'm with Bill, lets go visit seek. I hope his pad is big enough for all of us. It's only -5 with windchill, I couldn't imagine -30 OMG...I didn't move from under my blanket yesterday, not even to shower. It was too cold, but today, my godchild just called and asked me to take him to an appt. Today, so I just cancelled my Ft Dr appt. so I can take him to his appt. Hope everyone can stay under the covers and stay warm.

Hugs,

It's supposed to be 81 today in sunny West Texas. You should all come see me and bring your shorts and tank tops!

Growing up in San Diego where we would go waterskiing ever New Year's Day, I never saw any sign of winter other than a "crispness" in the air. I wouldn't have minded a little snow now and then.

So sorry sonja that it's so cold where you are. The coldest it's gotten here was 15 degrees this winter and even with the heat blasting I couldn't get warm.

I hope you can warm up. And take the day off.

Hugs, Dianna

Its COLD here too in Wisconsin... about 0 with the windchill.
I think I should have stayed longer for breakfast where it was nice and warm.
Soon I have to get ready for a doc appt so it will be time to bundle up!!!

i went to arizona over christmas to visit family. it was in the mid 60s, low 70s, got down to the 50s overnight. that's what december weather should be. part of me wants to move out there. i wouldn't even mind the heat over the summer, since there's no humidity, and the humidity is what triggers all my pain over the summer. alas, most of my family is around here, in pa, so i'm probably stuck here for a while. :(

I say we build a fire, tell ghost stories, and crank up the electric blankies with hot tea, coffee, and hot chocolate ad make smores --anybody got marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers?:)

Oh yeah, and I have pairs of warm fuzzy footies, mittens, and head to toe snuggies for all of you LOL.....
