This is great. I hadn't seen it myself until another friend sent it to me a few weeks ago when I actually considered posting the list myself. I never would have done so with such classy pictures.
Damn, girl, it's cold here. I may need to put my flaps down next time I go for a walk.
Yep. Flaps down, muffler up, hatches battened, tea ready to go on return. Your weather forecast says it's staying a few days.
k, i'm an official calif. wuss...ah well, it IS raining ... again? ok, not so bad i guess, the sun came out most of the afternoon and we haven't turned on our heaters for winter yet. i laughed out loud at most of these, it's so true and i really have NO clue!!! and susan putting her FLAPS down? oh my...
i then thought i read 'to have the tea ready for the rectum'...i guess i was ready to believe just about anything. :)
Linda! Tea ready for the...! LOL.... Though not a bad idea if you're seriously chilled & need to warm up from the inside. The truth is, though, luv.... We're seriously wusses about heat.... Can't take it. We either wallow in beer & ice wine, or die. Stay warm & dry. Rub Bella's tummy for me.
thats funny, i don't mind the cold so much, just the wet that we get with it here.
Clair-they say our 'dry' cold is easier to bear than your 'damp' one.... Having no experience to make the comparison, I can't offer an educated opinion.... I only know that my nose, hands, feet and bum never quite warm up between November and April.
