darnknit 0 #8 January 12, 2006 it is just a ruse designed to make people think that it will be warm for FREEZEFEST(see events and places to jump) the parties responsible for this practical joke want me to assure you that they did not intend for the effects to make it all the way to Illinois. there must be a glitch in the matrix. the parties responsible want me to apologize to you on their behalf. on a personal note, happy new year John. blue stuff, p.j. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smiles 0 #9 January 12, 2006 SAD I feel like such a whiner, to rant about rain but here goes: A west to east flow of Pacific air has dumped enough rain on Vancouver that a record set in 1953 could be broken Monday after 29 consecutive days of rain. It's especially bad in Vancouver because it's overcast, our body clocks go out of sync because when we think it should be day, it's too dark. Booo hoooo. Seasonal affective disorder causes an increase in appetite and sleepiness. Exercise and the use of a light box can turn someone's mood around in about a week, as with SAD there is a drop in brain chemicals like serotonin (neurotransmitter) and melatonin (hormone.) This week I am hitting the slopes, and purchasing a light box. SMileseustress. : a positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, and emotional well-being.

Sen.Blutarsky 0 #12 January 12, 2006 QuoteIs that supposed to be warm? In comparison with the ~ -20 F temperatures we experienced in November or the -40 F one might typically expect this time of year, it's been quite balmy of late. Blutarsky 2008. No Prisoners!
