If it has anything to do with the “North Pole”, I’m leaving this thread and never returning. 😃

Cold cold cold cold cold. Give me cold, nothing but cold, and lots of it. When it snows, I leave the car windows down. If it’s so cold your face hurts, that’s just about right. I don’t even get into my long-sleeved shirts for more than about a week out of the year, let alone coats, and I live in an area with a strong winter.

When other people talk about how nice it is outside, I’m wanting to complain about the heat. Of course, I’m biased, because if I’m hot enough to sweat for more than about an hour, whether it’s due to temperature or exertion, I get a severe headache that lasts the rest of the day. So to me, heat equals pain, which helps explain my girlish figure. But I think even if that weren’t so, I’d still go for the pole. Mmmmm. Eskimo women in seal fur. Aaaahhhgh.
