That's HUGE, Miss P!
Size matters, D2!
You're telling me?
Oh, sorry, D2. I didn't realize you had that many shoes.
Why do you think I'm the perfect FG for Shira? I'm always two pair ahead of her.
Well then, I must be her FGM because I have so many shoes, it's embarrassing. REALLY embarrassing.

Congrats Shira!
MP, I was thinking about that recently! I assume that the news is good for the MP home?
Be careful, Miss P. Saying that once is equal to saying BEETLEJUICE three times: before you know it, she's on your doorstep with both hands out, batting those eyelashes and whimpering.
I've already had the lash-batting, D2. Even without an official "title." But thanks for the warning!
Snowing. Again. Sheesh!

It does that in winter, Girly. Isn't it pretty?
I know that, but I'm tired of the little piddling snows. Give me one good, honest to God blizzard. I distinctly remember a damn good one back in 1997. THAT'S what I want!
And yes, it's pretty when you don't have to drive with the crazies that are out there.

BWG, take come of our snow. I think we have had about 30 inches!
This is the first substantial snowfall we've had so far this winter. The kids are overjoyed!
Ooh, I remember that, Girly - the whole city shut down for two days. Even the post office didn't live up to it's motto.
That was fun.
Yep. There was so much snow, there was nowhere to put it. Trucks were carting it off to the rivers and oceans!

I think you're talking about 1996, no? I remember being trapped in my house for days by several FEET of snow. I KNOW it was 1996 because I was pregnant and freaking out because I did NOT want my baby delivered at home...by my husband (although he had prepared himself for that possibility).
One of the kids in my building (grown up now) was a very enterprising little boy: he built a duplex "snow house" from the huge drifts that were piled in front of the building.
I have absolutely nothing to add to this conversation, but I'm popping in to say "hello" anyway. Hello!
Well, you do have that sandman, Shamey. That's sumthin'!
I think it's a hot chocolate afternoon.
Or better yet, a coconut mocha. Yeah, that's it.

1999 was the most snow that I have endured:
January 2nd, 1999: Northern Illinois was in the grips of a severe winter snowstorm, bringing much of the area to a stop. Heavy snow and high winds caused drifts of more than 4 feet in many areas. On this date 18.6 inches of snow fell in Chicago, the greatest single-day snowfall total ever recorded for the city. Over the 3-day storm 21.3 inches of snow fell across portions of the Chicago Metro area.
I also remember that during the blizzard of '96, the governor of Pennsylvania officially "closed" all the state highways so no one was allowed to drive. My friend was working for a law firm at the time. They expected everyone to get to work and if you didn't, you had to take a vacation or sick day. Even though driving was illegal!
I worked with a copywriter at the time who lived on the East side, and our agency was on the West side. He called me early on the first morning of the blizzard wanting me to go in to the office to see if it was open and then call him to let him know - because I lived on the west side it would be easier than him schlepping over from the East side.
I hung up on him.
Shamey, did you see the pic Sir Somms posted for you a couple pages back?
