Magda, my Aussie Kaylee Clone, 
It's great to see that you had a minute to post on the Imponderable thread. I have missed seeing you more often here at FFF.net. Thanks for the e-mail. I'm hoping to get something in the snail mail for you.

Hello Magdalena:
We got 10 inches of snow in Milwaukee. Actually, the whole central region of the country got covered. This was a big one. So after siting in my car for fourty-five minutes and only traveling about a half a mile I realised I was not going to get to work. It is over 20 miles. So have been here on and off all day. Good to hear from you. I have just about touched base with everyone I know here today. Seeing your post makes it complete.
Here are some warm fuzzy {{{hugs}}} right back at you
.

Hey! People missed me!! 
Believe me - I am missing people too!
Thank you Kaylee-clone! 
Thanks to my dear Penguin I have huggles from Australia for you! I have been writing a lot of snail-mail myownself lately - due to the frustration of not having regular access to the internet!!
Hey Traveler Thank you too! Wow! I just told my 10-year-old neice about 10" of snow - that's about 25cm and she was pretty 'gob smacked' (to borrow from my British heritage) I think she thought it was a terrific excuse to not go to work though - but do folk get penalised for not turning up on a day like this? I would think you would have to have 'weather leave' up your sleeve... not something I've ever had to cope with! Here's a warm & fuzzy hug for you too! 
Hey Navy! I do know about the exchange rate being better, but the Aussie dollar is not all that happy next to the pound Sterling either... believe me - my parents just got back from the UK... and they went to Scotland of course!! 
... and have you noticed that I haven't once mentioned... ummmm... the 'h' word?

Come one magda, just had to get it in there didn't you? Anyway, i wasn't aware that the aussie dollar was so weak compared to the pound. Bad though it may be for you, I'm kinda happy to hear it, my mother was talking of going to australia in the not too distant future. If that ever happens I'd of course be tagging along.

Hello Magdalena:
When you have cars smashed up all over the highway employers tend to be forgiving about not showing up. I also have a good record as far as attendance. I can not remember when the last time I took a sick day. So they better be nice about it.
We will have snowmen all over town now.
I can not believe what you have to pay for registering your car. You could buy a car for that much cash. I will never complain about the price we pay here in the Wisconsin.
I almost forgot it was vote day for Firefly. So I was here and voted often. I want to see the results tomorrow. We are closing in on fourth place. I still do not know if anyone involved with TV or movies is paying any attention to this. I just vote and watch us move closer to the top. It feels good.
Did you have a good walk? I bet your weather is a lot different today than ours. We should have a SciFi convention in the winter so you can see our snow. When I was a child I would not come inside until my fingers were numb. Than they would warm up and start to hurt. But I would go out every time it snowed. You can not keep a youngster away from snow. To many things you can do with it.
Then you will have to have a convention in Melbourne so I can see a wombat. That sounds fair.
Traveler

Magda, I love the huggles from Australia. Penguin, is a genius!
Navyseils, I'm thinking of heading down to Australia, too. Right now I have to try and find my passport to see if it's still current.
Traveler, I did love a snow day when I lived in the mid-west. It's kind of like playing hooky from school. I hope you enjoyed your day at home.

Hello VerseExplorer:
I had a very nice day. Posted a sorts of silly things here and had a couple of good laughs. I don't get a chance to join in on the imponderables because so much happens while I am at work. So it was nice to get involve today.
Watched Jaynestown. I think it is my favorite episode. When Jayne turns to the crowd and says, "There are only people like me", I just feel for the guy. I think I am getting sentimental.

The problem I have with faith is that I have trouble believing in anything I cannot see with my eyes or feel with my hands or even re-create as an experiment. I suppose it is the scientist/engineer in me.

I didn't get on until 1pm-ish my time, slept in due to feeling like
and calling out of work. Still feel like it, though it is more emotional/relationship/unknown kind of down. Meh, you guys don't need to be bothered with that. I got the e-mail, and will most likely respond to it sometime tomorrow. As for the faith/thinking for myself, I think my bit for LA29 is going to have to do for now. *hugs* I hope you had a good day and I also hope to talk to you soon.~Jimi

It's 4:30 in the morning here, and it's too cold to sleep. Lacking anything better to do, I'm going to watch some Firefly.
Bugger, it's cold.

Hey everyone!! Hello again Navy! I thought I didn't mention it though... Ooooooooh - yes!! Do come to Australia! I would love to meet you and your Mum if you get to Melbourne! I know a really good tour guide *ahem... me!* and I would love to show you my beautiful city! If I have a spare bed at the time - it's yours!! (& feel free to 'bring your friend' if you want to..)
Hey Kaylee-clone our Penguin does have a gift! I am so glad you're still thinking about coming 'down under' for a trip - I have my fingers crossed and was hoping you were still thinking about it all!!
Hey Traveler! I was 18 the first time I saw snow and so very sick at the time too... My only other time was in August 2000 and I was with the family for whom I have worked full time for the last 6 years - their Cam-boy was just 2 at the time aqnd he was turning blue and telling us (through chattering teeth) that he wasn't cold and didn't need to go inside! We built a snowman of sorts, but I have never made 'snow angels'... that is something I will do one day!!
RiverismyGoddess!! It sounds like you are really having a tough day, Sweetheart! Please know that there is much love for you 
and that we are all here for you! Hang in there and remember I'll be giving you a warm Aussie hug in just 270-odd days... Hey - look there's a guy doing the Otso Otso dance!!--> 
<--Now that made you smile... right?
Hi James - that is just not fair!
Mind you, I love being snuggled in bed on really cold nights! I always feel so very safe and somewhat child-like when I have the dooner and blankets pulled up to my nose and I'm all curled up in a ball...
