Last big snow we had I didnt like one bit. I was goin to college in Richmond and had to park the truck on the street. Well It wasnt snowing when I went to bed. I woke up and the plowers had covered my drivers side with snow and it had turned to ice! I had to get in my truck thru the passengers side and start it up for like 30 minutes to begin to even thaw the windshield.

My roommate got nailed by a plower when he was walin on the sidewalk. He looked like a walking snowman!

City and country snow are 2 different animals in my book! I hate city snow!

Nope! No scratches from the ice. I scratched my side mirror scraping the ice from it though.

Oh, he was very lucky, it was slushy snow so he just got soaked more than anything. Plow was goin pretty fast for the conditions and he got a lil more impact when it hit him too! I laughed my @ss off when it happened and he was too after the shock wore off!

Its just a different atmosphere. The snow is still snow. But I was born and raised in the country and snow out here was peaceful and quiet. Snow up there meant all hell broke loose and it wasnt fun at all! Besides, if you tried sledding somewhere youd prolly get killed by random out of control vehicles!

I did one 2 day's before I had my oldest. It was more of a back flop though, you cant really arch enough for a full dive when you are about to deliver. I thought my dad and uncle were going to have a heart attack watching me, they jumped in the pool to see if I was alright. lol. I got out and did a few more just for the hell of it My mom managed to get a shot of me mid-so called dive.

Scott, vid would be great. I was just was dancing with Claire around the living room to Beyonce's "single ladies" kinda funny for an 8 month old! Might have to consider getting Julie to vid that for you guys. She is starting to dance and move and hum to certain songs. She seems to prefer country though....
I'm back with fresh glass of rum and pineapple juice!!!
That would be a cute video!

Pete, perhaps the rest of us aren't as interested in tactical warfare. Most fogies want more light-hearted, family-oriented games.

I'm not an expert though I'm not much for videogames. I always thought Mariocart was fun though.
Is me being a entirely different animal a good thing or a bad thing.........

I love Mario!!!! I remember getting so far on it and then having to shut the game off and losing everything...... I like my daughters DS, it saves your place like most of the other gaming systems now. Very cool feature!!

That was always fun, I remember biting my lip and moving my whole body to help him get over that flag Like me moving my arms was going to make him jump further, haha.

My girls have the game, Princess Peach, she has to save Mario and Lugi!! I beat the game

Dang man, I have 4 of em. Good ones too. Get a nice high speed metal bit, I mean not a 3-4 dollar one, but like $12-$15. It will go like butter, and dont let it heat up of course.
