Winter is always tough on me, emotionally.
I know it's not actually winter yet, but we just got our first significant snow of the season and the temperature didn't get out of the 20s today. Tomorrow morning when I head off to work in the dark the forecast is for 11 degrees. I hate it. It wouldn't be as bad if I didn't drive for a living and work outside for part of the day. Hopefully, with some luck, I'll be done with that come January. But I think the short days and cold weather will still get to me.

Stuff like this runs through my head for weeks this time of year. I don't have any school work to do tonight and my wife has a nice dinner planned for us and then we are going to power watch our favorite TV show. I love my wife and I love my life with her. I imagine us sitting here on the couch snuggled up together while it is cold outside. We are sitting on an apparent rare oasis of a planet hurtling through space at an unimaginable speed. It's cold in space, too. A lot colder than an Indiana winter. Despite the astounding accomplishment of our evolutionary history, and some would say the apparent divinity of humankind, there is no evidence that we will survive more than a few moments in cosmic time. I will be holding onto my wife tonight with a lump in my throat wishing that we can always be together and knowing that life is very brief.

I know my wife has strong roots here, but I really wish we could live some place where it is warm year round.

Oh my ****ing God. I know I know... we are not supposed to make fun of the DUmp monkies mental problems but **** **** ****!!! Get over yourself Torbin! It's normal seasonal depression not the ****ing end of all civilization!!!

****!

1. Ah, my dear Tobin...I understand your feelings; getting lost in the cold and snow happens when that's all you see for the immediate future. The seasons change, always, as this one will. It's easy to say that, but harder emotionally to deal with it. Perhaps some day she will change her mind and then you can move.

 
****ING DON"T YOU WRITE A GAWDDAMMED POEM!!!! DON"T ****ING DO IT!!

Winter, By CaliPeg
It's cold outside but beside you it's warm.
Freezing my toes and nipples
Inside its toasty and our lust builds our heat,
Warm inside, warm inside you.
Blink blink blink...

It's been 11 years since the last time.

I apologize to you all for not being as active in this forum as I once was. I actually created this forum so that makes my lapse a little worse. I don't have as much time as I used to for DU in general, but when I've been here I should have been in this forum more often. It's my job to help keep it afloat.

1. Of course I'm glad you were part of the 70% that were treatable, my dear Tobin!

We need more research on therapies and medications that can help the approximately one third that we cannot currently reach. It IS a very pressing issue, indeed.

Yeah I get to go save these asshats. I find them huddled under a ton of blankets shivering waiting for me to come save them. I always ask them "don't you have a backup plan?" To me living in the northeast without a way to keep yourself warm/alive if your heating system breaks down is, well that's why we call them DUmmies!

Ah. yes. The annual rendezvous with Cabin Fever. I usually catch it too. But in Late February, early March. Not at the doorstep of the Winter Solstice. And it's not because it's cold outside, but for getting impatient for the eventual arrival of Nature's Rebirth.

That's why I've got two backup systems to keep warm, and I'm adding a third as soon as I get paid.

As a Dragoon, I was taught, "If you have two, you actually have one.  If you have only one, you have none."  So, overkill is warranted. :fuelfire: :cheersmate:

     Gee, maybe if CalPeg is so concerned about her dear Tobin, she could invite him and his wife to wait out the winter in her Manhattan Beach palace? I think it might get into the low 50's there at night...that's about the worst of it. Of course, Tobin and his long-suffering wife would have to listen to the nightly Harvest of the Aching Seed, and they'd have to find a way to deal with the only Amish impersonator in the United States. Seems like small prices to pay for the chance to frolic in the sun.

     Oh my dear Tobin
     Please come join
     me and Brother Hezekiah my husband
     in the West
     to relieve your urge for sun
     and to watch me walk around
     the house naked
     so you can see
     my catcher's mitt
     so leathery and worn

     would be
     proud to use it
     in fact he did...story for

I hate being cold.  Don't know how you all do it.  I only spent one winter in a cold environment, but if I did, for sure I would have three back ups too.

The winter I lived in CO, we had gas heat and it dried everything out.   The only time I was ever comfortable there was in the hospital, where they used steam heat.  Do any of you use steam for heat?  Is it cost effective?

I thought the libs loved the solstice. It's so mother earthy for them. They imagine themselves at stonehenge performing some kind of ancient/satanic ritual and those thoughts send waves of desires through their bodies.
