Hive For The Holidays!

[Mathew_Freeman]

And... I'm out. *passes out* You guys kept me awake way past my usual 3-4 am limit with all those questions for the pbp..

Be back in 6 - 8 hours.

Whoops.

See you tomorrow, then.

 

[hafrogman]

Yes, shame on you all for keeping him up so late!

...

Really, this time it's not my fault. I was asleep myself.
I wish I still were. Warm and cozy in bed, cold and wet outside. And now I'm at work. *sigh*

You have no idea how hard I'm finding it to get up in the mornings at the moment.

At least now our house heating is fixed, the place isn't stone cold freezing first thing in the morning.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Its especially cold and dreary here in Scottsdale over the last couple of days. Still is.

I wish I didn't have to have my bed near a wal to feel safe while sleeping. I think I'm gonna bust another blanket tonight.

Our house heating doesn't go on till I get back from work, our doors front and back are all wooden with at least 2mm gaps in both we don't have double glazing

I walk downstairs in me shorts put shower on wait for shower to warm up 30 seconds ish and jump in thats my morning warmth

I'm quite good in the cold not nesh like most people

Nesh is an English dialect adjective meaning unusually susceptible to cold weather and there is no synonym for this use.

I'm only Nesh first thing in the morning when trying to get out of bed. Otherwise, I'm fine. Maybe a little when sitting indoors and it's too cold [makes me sort of feel like hibernating] but outside, even here in Minnesota I've worn a sweatshirt throughout the winter last few years. I don't think there's been a dozen times in the last few years that I've actually worn my winter jacket which is still kept in storage deep in my closet.

[Temperature on Monday, btw was -5 with a windchill of -25]

I am indeed a nesh.
Instead I have adapted to the heat.
I take great pleasure in looking people in the eyes and informing them that it's only "warm", not officially "hot" until 105 F (40.6 C). Then I tell them to "Man up, Nancy!".
Mmmm. . . summer.

This is me signing off for the day!

Goodnight, Hive!

The's guy's name is Nancy?

 

[hafrogman]

The's guy's name is Nancy?

No, it's a psychological technique. By calling a male by an obviously female name, I am implying that he is in fact a woman. And due to the pervasive effects of our culture's dismissal and marginalization of women over the past 6,000 years or so, I am attributing to him the qualities of being weak and incapable of dealing with such things as warm weather. By removing his gender identity, I have in turn questioned his very worth. Thus, I invite him to "man up", i.e. reclaim his own identity, but only by conforming to my world view. I.e., the warm weather is quite pleasant, and only by agreeing with me, can he truly return to any value in my eyes.
