^^yeah, I didn't mean to induce worry... I'm sure you would have noticed by now if you were mixing them up. I was just chuckling at the thought of a good-intentioned mad smiter ;D

^^See, if I was in your position I'd be more pissed at the thought of stepping outside at 8:45 am (or whenever you leave) in the cold than just waking up.
But, after I read that post from Canada about it being -29 I feel like my right to complain about the cold has been revoked
cold here also - but like strum said - after reading from Soulmate that it was -29 there yesterday - my right to complain about the cold has been revoked

Becs - I have to say - I am glad I don't live in NYC today - at least I don't have to deal with wind tunnels and walking - I go from front door to car and from car to office door - all of about 5 steps each way

I feel your pain. I live next to the lake so I get the nice frigid wind first thing in the morning.

Yup Bloody well Frosty up here but I'm a shift worker and hence...... I'm staying in the house with all of you until I have to go to work tomorrownite.
Ok onto todays rant because I'm in a bad mood..........
Did anyone see the guy lastyear at Roo, carrying around the NEWBORN baby, in his arms? All I hear from people around me was "Oh look at the baby, how adorable" etc etc etc. Noone care to take into account the intense heat? this was the Ziggy Marley Concert. When it was like 120 in the shade, and thats a CRAZY Degrees F...... Well I thoroughly agree with people bringing their kids. My children from the time I was pregnant til the oldest who is 18 have gone to concerts and festivals. This newborn wasn't dressed in anything other than a diaper. No hat, no shirt. I was heartbroken. It would only take a short time and that baby could easily have heatstroke, convulsions...... or worse. I wanted to say something but didn't think it was my place.
I didn't see it because I wasn't at Roo last year, but I have seen that kind of thing at other festivals. It borders on child abuse. Definitely say something if you can say it kindly...you're looking out for another human being and that makes it your place.

What do you think?
Did anyone else see this?
Ahh enough of my GRRRRRR Rants today......
You sure it was not Mini ME (Vern Troyer from Austin Powers)
Yeah I feel the same way. I'm very able to say things constructively which makes me a great public speaker for the job I do, in this case, the parents probably didn't know any better. I actually saw such a PROUD look on Daddys face when carrying that new born....... he was so happy and proud, the look in his eye made it seem that this was the most blessed event of this young mans life. The baby didn't look more than a week or two old though and thats what scared me.
Oh well I do find people at Roo much more inviting for chatter than I would here in Canada. If you ever tried to talk with someone who was in the same position here at Bluesfest or another Canadian Festival, you would probably get your head knocked off with a punch! People at Roo so helped me last year when my husband passed out and started Seizing (Most probably cause was the heat stroke) blonde hair blue eyed irish boy...... If that were to happen in Canada, people would automatically assume he was a drunk or drug infested loser and call the cops without hesitation.
Just another rant to add here.
And Yes why are the gyms filled with all the Resolution people right now....... Don't worry, soon they will be back in their cozy houses eating bon bons and the rest of us will have the space again. At least they made a good effort. WE fail and fail and fail before we truly suceed.

I actually did run into a midget at a show once. And I do mean that quite literally. When a 6'4" guy is wandering around aimlessly with his mind on everything except this planet, it tends to happen
He was cool about it tho. He goes "hey man, no sweat... I'm used to it, and I'm sure if there were more little people like me around you'd be used to steppin on them too"

ya know, I was thinking about the whole Canadian festie crowd that you were talking about and it reminded me of a time I was in Vancouver. I was walking on the sidewalk coming back from dinner and smoking a cig. Someone came up to me and asked if I "had a spare fag" which caught me by surprise cause I'm not used to people calling cigs fags... maybe it's a Canadian term?
Anywho... I kinda chuckled at the saying and then proceeded to say it was my last one (which it honestly was!) and the guy was pissed! I guess he thought I was lying or something, and he made some derogatory comment about Americans.
Not that I think all Canadians are like that, because with the exception of that one dude I felt extremely comfortable in Vancouver! Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my one experience with Canada that I've had. But there's no way I could ever live in sub-zero temperatures. I get sad once it drops below 20 usually...
More of a british term. A guy who used to work in our office would say "wanna go outside and blow a fag?" he stopped using it pretty quickly when he learned of the slang here.
I've never been to CA outside of Toronto, and I was a kid when I went.. Always wanted to go hiking in northern BC though

i think its a british term, i heard it quite alot when i went there couple yrs back
and in boston acouple months ago these wasted irishmen asked me n my friends for a smoke when my buddy pulled out a newport one said in his think irish accent'do u have a non menthol fag?' you had to be there but it was freakn hilarious
Very rarely I've heard them called fags....... on that note, I don't think I'd be saying "lets go blow a fag!" Just doesn't sound proper to me! I love that commercial for Nicorettes though where that little nicotine monster says "Wanna go outside and enjoy a nice relaxing SMOKKKKKKe" haha and the wind is blowing, papers going into the girls face, their skirts blowing around! that always cracks me up!
how am i gonna do it? 
thankfully i dont have a MILE to walk. geez. just a few blocks
