DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info – DISapalooza (continued)

Good morning everyone! We are COLD here this morning. THe current temp is 9 degrees and the windchill is -1!

I at least get to wait until January before I get that here (I hope!)

I'll quit complaining about our weather here...

 

[wildfan1473]

...just skip right over November...that would make me happiest!

No can do...both DH and DS7 have birthdays, plus I get 4 whole days to myself while my boys are at deer camp. Whatever shall I do with myself?

 

[scarlett873]

Geesh people...I'm trying to get us closer to DAP and you're holding us back! The sooner we're through November...the sooner it's time for DAP!

 

[aspen37]

Yikes!!! that is way to cold for me. I love to ski out there but it always felt kinda warm despite the low temps compared to the northeast. You have great snow. If I could send you some of this heat I would. Hope you keep warm until DAP.

When the sun is out and the wind is not blowing it can feel quite warm even when it is 5 degrees out. I just wish it would not come so soon. Being at 8,000 feet winter comes early here. A couple of years ago it did not get cold till about 3 or 4 days before Thanksgiving. That was nice, we all wore our shorts till late November.

 

[aspen37]

Does that mean that I wouldn't need to add a year to my age, if so I will forgo Thanksgiving.

You can be what ever age you want!

 

[dpuck1998]

I'd offer a warm hug, but that's more Don's department....

You guys get some really cold weather too. It may not be as long as a winter as us , but I think it is more intense.

 

[georgemoe]

Eeek - I don't know how you do it, I hate the cold. It's not even that cold here and I've got on a tank top, a long sleeved shirt, and a sweatshirt on top....AND I'm inside!!

I hear tell that leftover lasagna is a great warmer-upper.

 

[kimisabella]

When I moved here I wasn't sure how long I would last. I have lived here since 1992. I grew up in AZ and Southern CA.
I am not sure how many more years of cold snowy winters I have left in me. At some point I will move back to a warmer climate.
On the bright side we didn't get the snow like Denver did! They can have it!

I guess you adjusted pretty well since you've been there for a while now - especially coming from a warmer climate! I don't even want to think about snow now!

I hear tell that leftover lasagna is a great warmer-upper.

LOL George... The people at Vinny's work actually wanted to see the lasagna this morning. On Sundays I make a larger dinner, most of the time either lasagna, baked ziti, stuffed shells, ect.. Vinny goes to school at nights on Mondays & Wednesdays so I make extra on Sundays so he can take it to work with him and have a nice lunch/dinner before school.

I also made sure I had leftovers for the girls and I so tonight I don't have to cook!!

I vote for skipping November and all below 0 temperatures and snow and ice for this year.

I will second the temps and snow. May we put this before the committee for a vote?

A few notes on the emasculator: They are used in horses. If you want to castrate a cow you make a quick incision and pull (no anesthesia). For a sheep you place a rubber band down there shortly after birth and they fall off. For a dog you need anesthesia and it is a little more like the surgery you think of. For a cat all you need is a little sedation and a scalpel blade. You can castrate a cat on your kitchen table if need be (don't ask how I know this). Rodents are like cats. I think that is the complete list of species I know how to castrate.

Trust me. I have seen and done worse. When I was in school we would bring bloody marys into the anatomy lab on Sunday morning while studying. That is so gross I can't even believe we did that.

Do you know how a vet determines if a cow or horse is pregnant?

I don't want to bring back any bad memories of past posts, but I'm just now catching up on the weekends activities here, and had to post that, Yes, unfortunately, I do know how to determine if a cow is preggers. My husband knows even better.We are cattle farmers (weekend farmers, now), and he used to work at a Monsanto research farm where they were developing the milk hormones. He had to do this procedure quite often.
And, we actually use the rubber band method to castrate our bulls (don't need to do that to our cows). I've even seen the cows with the life saver thingy on their sides. Some things about farm animals are NOT very pretty!

Anyway, Anna, I feel for you having to deal with the Colorado weather. We have rain AGAIN today, but at least it is in the 50's.

Looking forward to DAP. Becky(Halliesmommy01) got me signed up for the event, (thank you Becky!), since I had a school meeting that evening. So, at least that stress is over with. Becky and I weren't going to eat breakfast out very much, but this Tonga Toast talk has me thinking we need to add one more ADR.

Have a great week everyone!

 

[shellyminnie]

It looks like I will be in training sessions all week!! At least I'm getting paid for them!

See you later!!

Are you making a suggestion?

Don't fall asleep in class....

Are you making a suggestion?

Mother Nature has never listened to any proposals I have made so far. But I'll give it a go.

Getting paid for training is always a good thing. Keep us posted on how it is going.

 

[kathrna]

Morning! I'd go along with the "skip November" thing, but my ticker down there says I have a vacation to go to out west, so I will abstain (courteously) from voting.

Anna, that's way way way too cold for me. I have not purposefully put myself in that kind of weather since leaving Rhode Island. I think the lowest we had there was -10. But it was only for one year. The summer was great though!

62 for a high here. The mornings are nippy, but I make a point not to be out in them beyond the "drop off" routine.

DAP on the brain!

 

[Renysmom]

OK so I am going to attempt to write a trip report for our Halloween Haunts cruise upon the Magic,

I've decided to put the trip report on my blog for now (partially because this way I can write and add pictures/video offfline while on the Magic and then when I get back, add it to the trip report section of the DIS.

I must warn all of you, as if you don't already know, I am not a great writer and sometimes my attempts at humor don't actually make it where I was going but I am going to at least try.

If you want to read what I have written so far the link is below "My Time Passages".
