But back on topic - utterly gorgeous near where I live this morning, crisp white snow, iced-over canal and happy kids making snowballs on the way to school as the mutt rolled in the snow. Didn't inspire me to write poetry however! Hmmm, maybe I'll try and write a poem about how well the south of the country seem to have coped with a few flakes -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

Scatterplot Group: Members Posts: 1980 Joined: Dec. 2007 Posted: Feb. 11 2009, 11:44 No, I just looked at the CDC flu map. Texas and Utah are the darkest(worst) flu states. Since I'm not improving I'm getting off my rear and going to the Dr. now. -------------- We raise our voices in the night Crying to heaven And will our voices be heard Or will they break Like the wind Back to top

Dirk Star Group: Members Posts: 1331 Joined: Sep. 2007 Posted: Feb. 12 2009, 05:37 I`ve sculpted a couple of snowmen in the front yard,but they`re looking a bit sorry for themselves now though.Especialy seen as one of them is really just a bobble hat and a pool of sludge..Poor little fella`..It`s started coming down again for the last twenty minutes or so though,..fingers crossed I guess..snowman barely alive..we can rebuild him doo doo de doo...doo doo de doo......Err yeah,think I better wait till the kids come in from school though.Looks a bit strange otherwise.
