I would agree. My mother-in-law can't stand the heat. She's from Maryland and she longs for cold weather. She moved near us instead of going back to Maryland. Sometimes I think she regrets it. What part of Florida are you from?

---

I'm glad you had a great day. I'm so done with the cold weather. I think if I had a choice to die freezing or burning, I'd pick burning any day.

---

Me too. It keeps being wintry here thou. I'm ready to wear fun spring stuff.

@Sibi, I am from Boca Raton which means I was around Northeasterners my whole childhood, haha! Most of what we called 'the snowbirds' were from NYC, CT, NH. Then, when I moved for a little while to Gulf Sores, Al all of the snow birds were from the Midwest.

I can see why your MIL would miss Maryland, my sister in law lives there and it is much milder there than it is here and it is kind gets super hot and humid in the summer there. I love where she lives!

I have mainly lived in Arizona and Northern Utah and I must say I love the cold! Blizzards where my favorite! so much fun just sitting in front of a window with a fire blazing nearby and reading a book while nature howls and moans, expressing her icy displeasure.
Plus it was the only time I could wear all my funky minskirts and leggings.

On the other hand the arid heat of arizona is horrible!!! I hat it. by the time springs starts you are already in shorts and a tank top sweating never able to cool down...ugh!!!

So, why do you live in AZ? I don't think I could live there either, although I love the heat. I think the difference is I have to have ocean breeze with the heat. Can't Survive in arid weather.

This is what is keeping me warm right now...

Arizona was on the list of states I wouldn't mind living in until I learned about haboobs. DNW

Neal or someone from AZ posted pics of the one they had last year. It didn't even look real to me!

Where in FL are you, Sibi?

---

Oh yeah, & welcome back Sibi. We missed you but understood why you weren't on.

haboobs? What the heck are those? Never heard of that. Pardon my ignorance
I'm from the Florida panhandle, Fort Walton Beach area. It's good to be back.
Is that Dadny warming you up?

 

[theelectraco]

Just had to google haboob, lol. It's a Dust storm!

 

[sibi]

Oh no, not those! I am staying far away from AZ. Poor Thalatte. What she has to put up with in her life. If I were her, I'd be angry all the time, and choking. I feel for you too, jaizei.

 

[Kerryann]

Good Morning! I have been married for 10 years today! In that time we have had 3 kids, 4 dogs, and 3 tortoises. It's crazy to think about how far we have come in the 14 years we have been together, from teenagers to raisiing a teen!

Sorry about the snow Kerryann, I have about 6 inches and it is supposed to snow until 8pm

 

[Jacqui]

Congrats Erin!!

I've just sorta been told that if i plan to keep grocery bags full of weeds from the yard in the crisper drawer of the fridge that maybe I should plug the garage fridge in and keep them out there.

It's to store all the tortoise food that I have one running out in my garage.

 

[Yvonne G]

Congratulations, Erin:

 

[CtTortoiseMom]

Thanks Jacqui & Yvonne

It looks so strangely familiar to me to see that other mod's name and mine in the same sentence. My older sister is named Jackie, and I grew up with "Jackie and Yvonne" in the same sentence frequently. Haven't heard it in a very long time now.

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

Good Morning! I have been married for 10 years today!

He bought me a house shortly after we got married and now we are on to the 2nd house I was 23 when we bought this house, I would love to see a young family move in here!

I thought Maggie was your only sibling. Do you have any others besides Jackie and Maggie?

Who said I wasn't angry?

I live in Az because of familial obligations. Believe me I would much rather be in Utah.


Congrats Erin!

Ummm...what's with the unknown tortoise pic attachments?
