  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Been a really weird winter here in SE Michigan this year. Had no snow at all and even 60f temps the week before Christmas. Then a few weeks ago got dumped on with snow and temps went down to -15 and windchills of -40. Now the past few days it's been 50f and all the snow is gone. Now tomorrow they are saying back into the 20's and 40mph winds. Just a roller coaster here lately.

Wow crazy swings!
 
Not upset. I just find it strange. In some ways I am like people generations older than me. I find the idea that these things are ubiquitous odd, as I honestly never heard of Sailor Moon until A year ago. (Going to college and getting internet has been funny ) I signed up for MFK around when I got internet - that can give you an idea. Sometimes I feel old because I am not really a "digital native" lol. Less and less though.
Okay, I thought I'd upset you and that wasn't my goal lol

May I ask if you done home schooling for school before college? Feel free to tell me to keep my nose out of it and that its none of my business, I'm just trying to understand how you grew up kinda if that makes sense? :)

Depends on what you call homeschool. Taught myself New York State's Highschool curicullum out of Barron's Regents (Old NY mandated test) prep books, during breaks while in school. (Google "yeshiva", the ones I went to didn't care for much that wasn't religious.) Studied for the SAT like that too. Still doing it for CLEPs which are a lot cheaper than regular college like that.

Ahh yes. Sounds like schooling was very full on for you, good effort for sticking it out! :)

It's freezing here!
I was about to say "only 34" I'll take that over our 20 degree high today, but then I see you're in Tx so you guys probably are freezing to death at 34 lol ;)
40s and 50s I think my blood has turned into ice

Wind chill is most likely in the high 20's.

Back in the 70's-early 90's, lows were in the mid 40's. Now ever year it gets below 32 at least once.
