I was away this weekend, and let me tell ya.....it was FREAKING COLD!! There were ten of us and everyone was wearing everything they had packed! I had on 3 pair of socks, 2 pair of pants, 2 t shirts, 2 sweatshirts (one hooded), a winter jacket, hat and gloves. At night, when the winds picked up, IT WAS BITTER COLD! Pawly I can agree with you 110% I just came back from Estonia - where the cold just sucked the breath outta you. I had my REAL SERIOUS winter woollies on ... and I was defeated in less than an hour. The registered temperature in Võru was -25ºC for 3 days running - and even the locals, used to the cold in Winter were almost comatose from the effects ...(I think it is all down to Global Warming caused by the hole in the Ozone Layer (remember that?) and the same effects this Planet has regularly gone through countless times over the Millennia - er, um ... way BEFORE our forefathers ever had automobiles and jet aircraft!!!!!) But Estonia was sublimely ... COLD!!!!! ID: 520000 ·  |

I believe you when you say the temperature in Võru was -25ºC for 3 days running. I had an Estonian girlfriend when I was in university, and the first word she taught me was "rohellineh" which means green. It's a cold country at the best of times, but the Estonians are a hardy, outdoorsy people. If they were nearly comatose, it must've been bitter. Did the vodka freeze over? @Pawly: Heyas! Sorry about the absence, it was long shifts of work for me. I'm way further east than Ontario, over in the Maritimes right on the Atlantic Coast. We get all those storms that come up from New England, combined with our own "Made in Canada" actic winds. LOL ID: 520074 · |

...the Maritimes right on the Atlantic Coast... That was my third guess.  Yeah, you guys get serious weather there sometimes...but the beer and seafood must makeup for it! Being busy at work is good...it means you get too keep yer job!ID: 520113 · |

...the Maritimes right on the Atlantic Coast... Thanks Pawly! I love the snow...except when I have to shovel out three feet of it from around the car before going to work every morning. My house was built over a hundred years before the invention of the automobile, so guess whose car is buried in snow every morning. What a pain! Moosehead is our local brew, and yeah, the lobster, shrimp and scallops are just delicious. I used to enjoy those small family-business fish&chippies and expecially the clams in homemade batter. But sadly, the KFCs and MacDonalds have put them all out of business. :( ID: 520126 · |

...the Maritimes right on the Atlantic Coast... *Sigh* Yeah, we've got one already, with another on the way. To happier thoughts: I'm putting up another batch of "The Daily Funnies"; it should be up in a few minutes. Enjoy! ID: 520134 · |

I believe you when you say the temperature in Võru was -25ºC for 3 days running. I had an Estonian girlfriend when I was in university, and the first word she taught me was "rohellineh" which means green. Did the vodka freeze over? i assure you that it was bitter ... although the Vodka did not freeze ... it certainly turned into the consistency of syrup, or honey ... It took almost ages to pour ... BTW ... in Võru - where Elina comes from - 35 kilometres from the Russian border, Vodka (or anything Russian) is NOT the flavour of the day. A couple of years ago I brought a bottle of Stolichnaya and hoped to share it. They all threw it into the fireplace! and the rest of what remained in the bottle, remained untouched. The Estonians are fiecely Estonian ... and that is something for which I love them. I have never left that Country easily. Estonians are so proud of their Country and history - they speak the name of their Country with a special feeling that I have never found before. Certainly for me, coming back to UK has always been a let-down. Nobody here could ever give two consecutive damns about this god-forsaken place. That is the only thing I have in common with the people of this Island. btw ... just a silly point ... "green" is "roheline" in Estonian! Maybe an insignificant change ... but when you consider that each word in Estonian has the stress on the first syllable of each word (which gives it and other Finno-Ugric languages) its esoteric quality (and when they then speak English, this is carried over, making the whole pronunciation - to my mind - immensely attractive!)

SOURCE: FIGHT WITH K-FED CAUSED BRITNEY TO SHAVE A screaming match with Kevin Federline left Britney Spears reeling – and, after a public breakdown, running for rehab, sources told The New York Daily News yesterday. “Britney Spears has voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility today,†her manager, Larry Rudolph, said in a statement. “We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time.†Photos confirm Spears has checked into the posh Malibu celebrity haven Promises. She was spotted strolling the lush grounds yesterday in a hot-pink tank top and pants that appeared to still have the sizing sticker attached. Rudolph said yesterday that the decision for treatment was Spears'. In a call to E! News' Ryan Seacrest, Rudolph said he had just spoken to Spears and that she told him all she wants is time to rest, to get better and focus on her recovery. According to OK! magazine, a blowout with Federline sent Spears reeling. “They had a huge argument,†a source told the magazine. “Kevin threatened Britney that he was going to have people test her hair to find out exactly what she's been up to. She was so scared. That was what made her have her head shaved.†me@rescam.org ID: 521385 · |
