Oso, your argument was nonsensical. And yes, I will bite you.

well, i don’t have much sympathy when someone whines about how cold 50 degree weather feels. i will also not complain about the icebox i live in, i was born here and continue to reside here by choice. but just a few tips from my end of the world for survival on cold nights–wear a little more to bed, like pajamas and socks. and if you have to do the almost naked thing–’cause you feel suffocated or can’t sleep with socks on–try flannel sheets, they are never as cold as regular sheets. of course nothing beats having a warm body to curl up next to.

Just a plain old hot water bottle does wonders to warm up your bed beforehand and you when you crawl in.

Oh goodie!

I’ve been looking for a list of Nahuatl loanwords in Tagalog, and of course the all-powerful Wikipedia has it. You’ve got the usual suspects (chocolate, etc.) but also mysteriously influential ones, like “nanay” for mother.

The answer is perhaps in some subterranean 17th-century history in all that silver-for-silk trade, perhaps the native crew on the Acapulco galleons marrying natives in Manila and having early Flipsicans…who knows.

Hey David,

Glad to be back. I am well aware of the laptop issue and I guess my laptop should really be called “legtop” because I put it on top of my legs – closer to me knees.

I don’t know why I didn’t click the “Yes” box for RSS – but I did now.

Thanks for the kind words – your words are as good as always..

The internet is a good thing. It keeps me on my powerbook late at nights and the heat of the powerpc chip keeps me nice and toasty. It makes me wonder if the name “laptop” came from MIT during a snowy winter day.

Stupid internet and global reach and what not, can’t we just bitch about our 50F weather in peace without being reminded there’s other places getting 10 feet of snow and shoveling themselves out of things? God I hate the internet!

By the way, I’m with you on trying to heat up the down sandwich, I’m having trouble with that too. I think its the cool cotton exterior, saps the heat right outta me, I’m think I’m going to try a fuzzy blankie lining. I tried beaming my radiant heater at the down comforter but the heat distribution is proving too patchy to be effective. More on this later.

whhhhaaat? I can only wish for 50 degree temps over here in Chicago…we are still trying to dig ourselves out of almost a foot of snow!!! I spent an average of 2 hours driving home yesterday in a car with barely functional heat and an average of over an hour shoveling my house last night. NOW THATS SOME COLD SHIT.

Sorry, you get no sympathy from me…try some socks and maybe an electric blanket. You will be fine!!!

Thank you!! I’m going to smack all of them next week. Actually, I’ll probably be far to content in the 70 degree weather to be angry…but if I could smack them right now I would. Why do you keep saying you’re in Ohio…we know you’re in Iowa.
