WTF? Where’d you hear that? There’s no way.

My friends text me and told me it’s a rumor going around. Of course, I don’t believe that.

WIFLSRN: They closed my kids school due to the weather. My hubby had to go to work so that leaves me here at home with them. It’s like -19 and -35 with the windchill here. Yikes!

I hope it’s much warmer where some of you are.

"Warmer", but not warm enough to get my morning newspaper nor let pets outdoors.

From personal long-ago experience, you can actually feel the difference between a minus eighty degree windchill and a minus sixty degree windchill when you're required to temporarily be outdoors in such brutal conditions.

I’ll trade ya!

Btw: How hot and cold does it get there?

I know, tell me about it.

Yep, I can definitely feel a change, especially when the sun is out. I think -19 is ridiculously too cold, but I don’t even want to know how the cold side of Mercury would feel like, lol.

I just told my husband I want to learn how to use his shotgun for when he has to travel for work.

His response:
“Sure, but based on your size, if you tried shooting that shotgun, the recoil would have you skipping across the house like a flat rock on a calm lake.”

My response to him:
“Yep! Probably so, but if anyone tries to come in this house when you’re not here, I need to protect my family. So, when the buckshot hits whoever or a pardoned Trump supporter breaking in when they start running all over the place attacking people, after I shoot them with it, they’ll be flying back so far they’ll need a passport to get home.”

I am SO serious.

Winter has a high around 10*C, and a low of about 2*C with occasional dips both up and down. It's super dry here that I've had a strong dry cough until I got a humidifier I run when I'm home.

Summer is horrible, the highs get up to 36*C with 90-100% humidity. It's just like getting into a hot car in a heat wave and there isn't any AC to save you, and no windows to roll down to vent the air.

I think it's more of the relative size of the shotgun and the power of the cartridge compared to CG's size.

If you're serious about using a firearm in a self defense type of situation, some sort of firearm you are comfortable with and practice regularly with will serve you much better than a random shotgun loaded with whatever type of round your husband uses/has used/prefers. All of that sort of things is very dependent on muscle memory and regular, consistent and focused practice.

Go Lewis! I can’t wait.

That’s exactly what it is. I’ll bet that gun is bigger and weighs more than CG LOL!

I've been thinking this too- it might be time to get a gun. I've been to the shooting range a lot and know what I'd want to get, but I had never purchased one.
