Hey MsB, I have a random question for you. I'm not sure where in Utah you live, but I'm hoping you can help this SoCal girl get a bit of perspective...
My brother is getting married. Generally speaking, this is a good thing. His fiancée is probably the coolest person he could have hoped to get to marry him. They're very cute and I'm really excited to have another sister-in-law.
They live in Provo right now, so they've decided to get married nearby in American Fork. That's fine, I can brave Utah for one weekend for my brother's wedding day. The wedding is the third weekend of January though. I haven't seen actual snow in 12 or 13 years, and not even flurries for 6 years.
Aaaaand they want to drive up to Midway/Heber for a family dinner after the wedding. Looks like a cute little place, but it's an hour drive, 1000 ft elevation climb, up a little windy mountain road.
So I guess my question is, if you know, how much snow should this California girl expect? Does hubby need to brush up on his tire-chain skills? Or will the roads be kept clear? It's the 189 north-east out of Orem, if that helps. And once we get up there for dinner, would it be better (for people not used to driving in the snow) to get a hotel up there, and then drive down during daylight the next day? I mean, should we avoid driving down a mountain road in the dark in January? Or am I being silly?
If you have any pointers or thoughts on this at all, I would really appreciate it! Hubby is already having flashbacks to his childhood in Wyoming, but I'm really hoping we can work this out so I can enjoy my brother's wedding. (Oh, and just for the icing on the cake, not only is it Utah in the middle of ski season, they also picked the same weekend as the Sundance Film Festival. Having fun trying to find a hotel already. 
)

And I'll tell you something too. That's starting to annoy me about UFOs, the fact that they cross galaxies or universes to visit us, and always end up in places like ... Fyffe f*cking Alabama. Maybe these aren't super-intelligent beings, you know what I mean?

Great. I was sick for the last two weeks and have to justify to my boss why I took the facility kids to Carroll Summit in a foot of snow to get a Christmas tree and MAGICALLY look five years younger and healthier (minus the occasional cough of course) while clocking in this morning.
I love my life.
Good morning folks!
(BCMW handshakey thing all secret like with a hug topping it off) So yeah, the H3 thing is a bit bothersome, no one's perfect. 
Happy hugz for MSB.

Hey now, I need an outlet for my aggressive energies, and blasting people with shotguns and sticking them with plasma grenades just happens to be the way I prefer to do that. :P
*secret BCMW handshake thingy right back, plus a hug*

We just have different flavors. H3 is like tourney/speed ball on the Paintball Course and Rainbow Six Vegas is like scenario/woods ball. Although there are some spots where we do get to the "Stick your UMP45 up that dudes ass KILL 'EM ALL!!!" tactics. Feels sooo good to be shootin' without spending sixty to a hundred dollars for the .45 on a range day.
That and moving reactive targets.
Oh, John Clark would sneak up behind Master Sarge and write the Constitution on his back, bake a cake, and dance a jig before walking away because he is just that bad ass.

I have an imponderable. Is there some man law that says once you buy a corvette you don't have to pay child support, your half of the medical bills for your kid or give the other kid money for college books?
I am on The List. We are The Forsaken and we aim to burn!

That's one of my favorite parts, being able to play with folks from all over the world. Most of 'em are better than I, though I do tend to do alright once I get warmed up.

No, that's not a man law. It would seem that the person in question has forsaken his rights to use the man laws and has now adopted the laws of douchebaggery. Sorry hon. *hugs*

Definately not a man's law. Listed under Bitch Law, Section 1, Item three below:
1. Failure to apply respect and dignity to all things.
and
2. Refusal to carry self with honor and respect to all things.
Falls under:
3. Denial of rights and obligations to loved ones, significant others, offspring, and any person/diety where word is bond.
And, as I'm sure my fellow BCMW will agree, most of the bitches I know are in fact male, not men. "himself" is allowed only the label male in terms of identity for target recognition.
