Yeah... We're all going to fcuking die. Maybe I'll get a head start on that.
In case you've forgotten, we're all going to die, whether or not there's global warming.

No one has managed to escape that law of nature, yet.
It would be unwise to underestimate what large groups of ill-informed people acting together can achieve. -- John D'Oh, January 14, 2010.

We've had nothing but alternately drizzle, ice, and flurries for the past two weeks. I don't know what you mean by having something to show for it. The northern blast of air has dipped further and further south, for the past two winters. At this rate, they'll be having snow in Fort Lauderdale.
Eh, that's just how I ask whether or not you've gotten any snow.

About the fcuking die thing, pretty sure that's gonna get taken care of anyway, so no reason to rush it. ^_^
I cite irreconcilable differences.

Here in Minnesooota, when we get a big snow storm I dread hearing the ambulance sirens. Some are for car accidents and some are for heart attacks.

Shoveling the heavy snows can be really hard on the seniors. They are out in frigid air doing manual labor, and sometimes their hearts can't take it.

It happens every year and I hate it. It's usually the older guys that go this way, but sometimes it's women, too.

(Frank, yes, go ahead now and make a comparison to going while shoveling snow versus going while .............)

A dear friend of mine and her husband, in Massachussetts, celebrated their 20th anniversary, some years ago. I congratulated them and she told me how they had worked through so many issues that had plagued their relationship through the years, and how happy they were, and how they had found this amazing and wonderful depth of love and real intimacy, after so many years.

A few days later, while he was shoveling snow, he had a heart attack and died.

Yes, you're right, sometimes they are not so senior. He probably wasn't very old.

No, he wasn't. US Navy retiree... I think he was in his early 50's.

Well, there's something I'll never have to worry about: Having a heart attack in my early 50s.

Heh... If I live to see my early 50's, I'll consider that something on the order of a miracle.
