Winter blues in New England
I have lived here in the NE for 20+ years and am fed up with the winters. I'm single so I'm thinking of picking up and moving south (East Coast though). Can anyone point me in the right direction for a decent area? I want sun and warmth!
You live where it's cold or warm? Driving gloves? Some nice body scrub/shower gels? nm

Take me with you, please? 
I'd move to London, England! nm

I agree. I live in New England.
We never have really extreme weather where I live, with the exception of the occasional snow storms in the winter and occasional thunder/lightening storms in the summer where we have lost power for a short time. I have lived here my whole life and have never seen a tornado or an earthquake. Thank god!
Need weekend getaway ideas for family in New England. sm
I need ideas on a weekend trip in the Northeast. Anybody got any suggestions?
Bless your heart I hope it works out for you too....No we are not in New England. We live in the So

Just heard that a massive tidal wave (or Tsunami) is headed for England's coast and sm
could reach land in the next 12 hours.
I'll be watching this and I'm sure you'll be hearing more about it soon!

Hayseed,
That's my old outfit, darn it! I don't miss shoveling the snow that was up to my hips and sometimes over my head.

It's really warm in Maine
For the past week, it has been in the 60s and 70s here. We haven't had to start running the heat in our house yet this year, but I'm sure we will be soon! I remember last year around this time it was freezing and we were already burning through heating oil like crazy! I just wish this weather would last...
warm and sunny
An absolutely gorgeous day here in Savannah, GA 
Hot tap water - which is really very warm - sm
If it's too hot for your hands, it's too hot for the yeast.
I used mine when it is warm - sm
I had stopped using it for a while as I just did not have the time, but making the time now and trying to cut costs on the electric bill. I usually have so much laundry it all won't fit out there and I have 3 lines about 28-feet long. I generally put out everything but socks and underwear if I run out of room, otherwise it all goes out. No one can see our line not that it would matter, avg. $150 a month in the winter on the electric bill and over $200 in the summer because of AC, so every little bit helps.
me too, i get this warm fuzzy feeling,
and just lay my head down on my desk for a few...do some streches..its like...the longest days of my life.
Hmmm, rather than warm weather, could it be
menopause? I don’t have the sweating during the night. As far as the weather, my grown daughter told me one time if she had been born where there was snow (as you are talking about) as soon as she grew up she would get outta there- it is just what you prefer. I have only been snowed in twice in the past say 15 years and that is fine with me. Oh, I do enjoy the soup and salad at Olive Garden- and eat without sweating.
Need some ideas for some warm socks sm
I know, I know, it isn't even winter yet as my husband would say. It's in the 50s outside and my feet are like ice. Right now I have them buried under the heating pad. Can't use a space heater because then my room gets like 110. Any ideas for some nice, warm, nonbinding socks as tight socks make my legs and ankles hurt and just plain drive me nuts.
Thanksgiving Warm Fuzzies!
A while back, I posted about boy named Conner who had a bone marrow transplant for NEMO. After being in the hospital in a different state than his own since August, Conner finally returned to his home and family! While he still has a very long and rocky road ahead, he is at least able to be home for Thanksgiving. If you click on the link, and scroll down, you will see the one of the most heartwarming photos of his homecoming taken by their local newspaper:
http://www.caringbridge.org/in/connersmith/index.htm
BTW, Conner is one of a set of triplets!
If you want to send Conner a hat from your state, check out the Hats for Conner site at:
http://hatsforconner.blogspot.com/
There you will also find a photo of my dog Addie who absolutely hates the digital camera.
My hands are too warm, for a week or two now (sm)
Thermometer does not show a fever, but every time I touch anyone they say my hands are too hot, and they feel hot to me too, plus I just feel kind of yucky, nonspecific, but just not good. Anyone know if this is a symptom of anything? Menopause?
How about some ideas for a warm supper?
No snow yet, but howling winds and cold with a little bit of drizzle. Need some ideas to warm my little guys up when they get home from school. Not big fans of soup, though. Any other ideas?
warm supper ideas
How about some chicken and dumplings (easy) or homemade chicken pot pie?
I am not warm and fuzzy when I read something
like this. I think the person even questioning has some issues going on here. Who in their right mind gives lifts to strangers these days? Read below about woman giving rides to people on the Appalacian (spelling) trail- the same place where a lady killed - just crazy thinking to me. Why would she ask did she dodge a bullet? I do not think this person really needs to be traveling by herself if she has no more common sense than to ask such. I sat here just shaking my head, not believing what she said. Naïve.
may be same problem as we have in winter -
extremely dry skin - daughter's BF has a pit and they were told to use a veterinary oatmeal shampoo and he is on some mega fatty acid capsule, vitamin E, but the oil on his food may be accomplishing that. Try a humidifier, keep the heat (if you are in a cold area, of course) lower.
You don't have to do winter wonderland (sm)
You can do traditional Christmas decorations if the majority celebrates it. I am sure this will not be a big suprise to him - he has seen people celebrate Christmas all his life. He doesn't expect you to stop celebrating it but he doesn't have to participate of course.
I like winter, especially since I dont have to get out

I don't hate winter, but
enough is enough! Yeah, I know it's only February. We've been spoiled here in the Northeast. The last few winters have been so warm I'd started believing in global warming. Now I'm starting to think new ice age instead!
Ok, sounds good, but what about the warm drinks? nm

Bright, warm, cheerful, happy.

Normal wear for warm weather is
cutoffs and a T shirt, cold is sweats OR my flannel PJs.
Got 5" here...lots of snow this winter...nm

Yes! I'm like a dog shedding my winter coat! nm

I'm a backpacker and winter camper.
I've even had frostbite before I learned how to stay warm. I buy my socks from REI.com. (Sometimes can find the same brands cheaper at places like Campmor.com and SierraTradingPost.com)
There's a good selection, and you can read the descriptions for each. The socks I buy keep my feet warm while I hike ten miles in the snow. You might not need that level of warmth! Also, they are kind of pricey. Good luck!
winter wedding what to wear?
What does a guest wear to a winter wedding?
robins don't always leave for the winter
any more. Depending on how good food sources are. You probably have a hawk if his tail has stripes horizontally. He may pick off a robin.
Summer here is great.. wish I was in FL in winter though :)

After an absolutely crummy winter/spring...
Here in the beautiful Pacific NW, I mean really cold, below normal temps, snow very late into the season...
We are expecting some 90+ degree days starting tomorrow into the weekend - and I for one am HAPPY! My poor halter tops haven't seen daylight for so long I forgot what they look like.
North Dakota. :D Freeze in winter/fry in summer ;)
Well, this is our coldest period right now. But having it -30 to -60 with the windchills certainly isn't any surprise. In summer we can be in the 80s and 90s with very high humidity. LOL! We always say, if you don't like the weather... just wait a minute.
And if you live where it freezes in winter, the filter MUST be emptied

Have him keep his snacks out of sight, even if it means warm soda. Makes a big difference! Out in

so what you're saying is that if your child lost her coat you would make her go the winter(sm)
without one simply because someone ELSE may have stolen it? Wow.
winter wonderland and chestnuts roasting on an open fire
and baby, its cold outside. have more than 1!!
Crazy curly in the summer, poker straight in the winter
My hair changes with the weather and it is impossible to get a good hair style because it looks so different from one day to the next. But I like the color, natural blond with reddish highlights.
The weather has been HORRIBLE just about everywhere his Winter!!! Mother Nature Angry! :-(.....nm

Does anyone have a bread machine?
If so, would you recommend getting one and which brand is good? 
Bread Machine
 Hi - I love bread! I have a Hitachi that is old and works great. I am antsy to get a new one though and think I will get a Zojirushi - they are the best I know of. I mostly use mine to mix dough and then I proof it outside the machine (I proof in my dehydrator, you just take out the shelves and set it on low and shortly thereafter all the rising is finished - I use a big dehydrator from Excalibur so a lot of bread can fit in there! Yummy bread. It also saves a lot of money because bread is now about 2.50 a loaf or more for good bread, but mine is better and is way cheaper! I got one for my daughter and got her the one she wanted (a Panasonic), which is half the price of a Zo and she thinks works just as well. Just get one with the bigger size insert so you can make big bread if you want (you can always make it smaller, just by using the small recipe size if you just mix in your machine and get one that has a setting for adding in add-ins (like raisins or nuts or whatever). Those are the important things in bread. Go to King Arthur Flour website and check out the bread! It is the best place to buy ingredients that you might not find in your own town if you live in a small one. Now I am hungry for bread from all this and think I will go put some Portugese Sweet Bread in there for later! Good luck with your bread! Maybe we could quit transcribing and open a bakery! That might be fun!
bread recipes
Would the kind lady who posted her bread recipes please reply to me, even if it is my private e-mail address, with the recipes that she had for 4 loaves of bread. My hard drive crashed and even though I copied the recipe to my word expander, I was not able to print it out.
Bread at Sams
I know this isn't latte, but my husband and I found a certain organic wheat bread at Sam's Club that we absolutely loved. It was 4 loaves in a bag for around 5 bucks....great price and great bread. It was fresh bread, so 15 minutes in the oven and it was ready!!!! They discontinued it and I called them. The marketing guy said he knew exactly what I was talking about because he and his wife loved it also, but the numbers showed it wasn't selling as well, so they placed it in different places in the store locally, but it still didn't sell well, so they discontinued it. I can't imagine that because every time I went in, there were tons of empty boxes I had to move around to get to the new ones. Did they tell you it wasn't selling well?
