Rhun's Greyhawk OMEGA OOC Thread (ToEE) - CLOSED!!!

[CanadienneBacon]

The colder places I've lived in number B.C., northern Alberta, Denver, Seoul, and the western plains of Wyoming. Honest to God, in terms of indoor house temp in the winter, Dire Lemming does have the right of it. Houses in Hawaii don't come with indoor heating and in the winter, particularly if you're where we are right on the beach with the ocean trades blowing, well...it's downright cold in this house in the morning. As I type, I am wearing a fuzzy winter hat on my head and layers because it's chilly.

Warms up to a nice 80 degrees F before lunch though, so Rhun has the overall right of things there!

Did I see it right on the news and upstate New York has more than 10 feet of snow in places? Hope those folks have power, or at least a good store of fuel, food, and water.

I believe you are right. The northeast really got pounded this last month. I'm thankful of how nice it is here in Salt Lake right now...I'm actually going to get to go out an jog today.

Yeah, saw that on the news. 100+ inches of snow. Me and the person I was talking with couldn't believe it.

Rhun, are you in Salt Lake proper or one of the suburbs? I lived in Evanston, WY for nine years. We'd drive down to either Salt Lake or Ogden literally every weekend to go to the bookstore or to the movies.

Your head is cold huh? So how's everyone recovering from 'the incident', CB? Or would you rather not say?

 

[CanadienneBacon]

We're all doing just fine now. Touch and go there for a while when it first happened but the measures I took and the extremes to which I went ended up paying off.

One of my twin daughters (with thick curls) got lice from school. I'm from mostly cold weather climates and had never dealt with nor seen lice before. Their dad was out to sea when it happened, plus we'd just moved like eight days earlier, so it was me and the four kids (one of which is our new baby). Yeah. I shaved everyone's head, including my own. Sucked, but it was a very effective stop. Just couldn't see letting my kid walk around with no hair all by herself, so I did mine first, then did hers. And then over the course of that weekend when the other two girls started showing signs of lice, I did their hair as well. Two weeks of daily washing clothes and linens. And bombing the house with permethrin. Happened two weeks before Christmas. I would never wish that experience on anyone. We all had very grateful hearts come Christmas morning--first day we woke up and no one had to have their head checked for bugs, plus we got pillows that night. Pillows! Life's simplest pleasures are always the sweetest.

I live in West Jordan, about 15 miles south of SLC. I do work in Salt Lake proper, though. About a block from the Delta Center (oops...I mean Energy Solutions Arena).

I like to go up to Evanston in the summer...Wyoming Downs is a fun time.

What a pleasant weather we have here on eastern Mediterranean, it's not snowing, fair temperatures, and lice are historical creatures from the 80' years.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Yes, I must say that since that unpleasant lice incident in my home, lice will soon make an appearance in my tabletop game as an environmental hazard in an inn. And seeing as how it turns out that lice prefer clean hair, it won't necessarily be a lower quality inn.
