I didn't get any of the snowy goodness, just rainy and windy. If we get over an inch here the town shuts down and I get a free day off. Looks like we may get it tonight or tomorrow...which sucks as it ruins the weekend and I get no time off of work.

HAHAHAHA
155 inches as of this morning. You people don't know snow!

Send some of that over please. Its been 30C+ and humid the last few days :/

So, at what point do you have to go shovel the roof.

As soon as we find it.

Well, it's really no different than a church; it's still a belief in something - that there is nothing other than us. Everyone has beliefs; it's just a question of what. If a bunch of atheists want to get together and hang out, why not? Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to be late for my weekly Angry Unicorn Living on the Dark Side of the Moon meeting.

That's one way the CC thieves test a stolen card - by seeing if small purchases go through. The gas station is a popular choice because you swipe it yourself. If it doesn't go through then you're out of there before anyone has a chance to question you.

My provider doesn't blink any longer at travel expenses on my account so I'm boned if someone tries to use it to go to Tahiti or something like that. ; )

Fair enough. But I wouldn't buy a whole building to do it in. I would just hang out with a few fellow atheist buddies. The most I would do is rent out a space for a large gathering, not buy one. That's a lot of $$$!

If someone steals your credit card info and travels the world, why are you screwed and not your credit card provider?

Because there's a time-limit and other restrictions on that stuff. No guarantee that it would get wiped from the ledger.

That sucks. I hope you keep an eye on your statements constantly.

Stupid scratchy hotel towels! Too thin to dry you off, too small from having spent a bajillion cycles in the industrial dryer, and scratchy as hell.

Hahaha! Thanks for the laugh. :D
Guess they have to make them so crappy to keep people from stealing them.

Made my day before I even got out of bed. That must be worth some rep, surely.

Try the Finnish military ones. You can see that they were made by the lowest bidder to meet certain criteria, indestructibility probably being the most and drying capabilities the least important one. On the upside, you could probably make a bulletproof dinghy out of them.

No complaints of my own as yet. +4°C and light drizzle, which is about as awesome weather as I could ever have hoped for in the winter. I put the bike on her summer tyres, and reckon I won't need the winter ones until November at the earliest.

I got the cold exactly on new years eve. I totally can empathize.
