There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I'll be wearing shorts today! 45º Low/ 64º High in Denver today
We have 13F this morning with w/c of -6F. I REALLY don't want to go to outside today!!!
Today, here in "Sunny" Mansfield, Ohio, the temp was 11 degrees as the high, with wind chill of -6. And it's not even winter yet! Tonight the temps are expected to drop well into the single digit range with wind chill of -20. I had to go out and about today in the 20 to 35mph winds, blowing snow and bitter cold. The dogs were out of cookies...and you'd be amazed at how violent an 8 pound and a 12 pound dog can get after being drug outside in the freezing cold, to walk around on ice, and trying to pee into 20 mph winds..then be brought inside and be told that they have no cookies.
At one point Hazel, the 8 pound Chihuahua with the mentality of a Boxer/Lab mix, stood up on her hind legs, looked me in the eyes and said "Wad do yu meen we don't git a cukee? Yu made me go outside in da freekin cold, freeze me liddle feets off....and I get no cukkee? Yu want your ankles torn off fat man? And beesides, the cat doesn't hav to go out in da cold....no, his fat furry butt has a box in the tostee warm closet he gets to go potty in. Yu bedder go git some cukees or else!"
So out into the cold I go, fearful of what might happen if I drag the dogs outside for even a single potty break without the reward of a crunchy cheeze flavored cookie afterward.
