34ish and Sunny..
perfect day for XC skiing.
The snow has a nice crust where it is directly in the sun, other spots are just fluffy and rather deep. Either way, it was a good first day out this season.
A little sun and fresh air is a good thing.

first day out12/16/2007 14:11 #42533
Boasting eight inchesCategory: weather
and counting..
Buffalo 4.0"
Lewiston/Youngstown 8.0"
I drempt that I awoke to fields of Green, the snow storm having bypassed this entire Lewiston/Youngstown area. Funny thing, is that this is usually the case; as you all know that I complain about it yearly. So in my dream I was rather upset that we didn't get a single flake.
To my great surprise we really did get snow. A lot. And its still coming down! Yes, the reports said that we would get it.. and I put my car in the garage-just in case- but come on, its Youngstown.. we don't really get snow.
Its an APOCALYPSE!
or something.. haha
Seriously, the north end is being hit, and the south is pretty much being bypassed. When does that ever happen..?
My driveway has been plowed 2 times in the past 5 hours.. and looks like it can be done again soon. CRAZY!
well, time to get the XC skiis out :D
and a mug of hot chocolate with a peppermint stick (and Baileys!)
Stay warm :)

It funny how I all ways say that on line there is no tone of voice and then I write something that proves my own point. I thought it was funny when I wrote but looking at it, it doesn't look so funny Now. In any event I hope we get a little bit of snow for Christmas but not that much just so it looks pretty and I hope everyone who skis keeps going out and enjoys the snow before it leaves us.

At first I thought you where bragging about a man. (wish I had 8, HA but that is a different story). Ok seriously though it sure seems like more then four inches of snow hope you are having fun out there in it.

hot waxuh yeh.. so I dripped hot candle wax on a fluffy carpet. Well, regular pile really. How in the heck do I get it out? Its dark blue wax on a new cream colored carpet :(
Thanks in advance. I am sooo clueless.
I'll see what other info I can find online..There is a bunch of stuff, but everything is saying something different. I am wondering what your personal experience has been with it.
well, in getting it out..
or in how the wax got there, lol ;)
either one, hehe

Thanks everyone!! I found a site that incorporated the (e:peep) suggestions! The steps I should take include, 1. freezing the wax with an ice cube, then scraping off as much as I can out of the carpet ((e:james)) Then,2. Place a towel or paper bag over the remaining wax and apply a warm iron over the top to melt the wax which is supposed to transfer to the towel/paper bag ((e:brit)). According to the site, that should about do it. It suggested using rubbing alcohol to work out any staining associated with colored wax--and that it may take several applications to take care of it; if at all.
I'm thinking that at this point, I would add the step provided by (e:jenks).. 'cut it out' .

I have no idea so can I go with the fun answer? Buy lots of candles that same color and keep bringing the guy over and keep doing the wax thing until the entire carpet becomes that color. My brain tells me that if th wax melted that it would hit the carpet then dry so I'm guessing you could heat the wax up somehow then when it was a liquid you could remove it. The tricky part is you don't want to catch the rug on fire, and you also don't want to cause the wax to get in deeper. In any event I wish you luck with it.

I've been told that Brit's method is the best, but none work well for me.

the surgeon in me says, "if in doubt, cut it out!"
But that is probably bad advice.

The method that worked for me was to freeze it with an ice cube then pick it out. It didn't completely remove it, just mostly.

Allen Street tonight..Category: weekend
I'm heading out to Allen Street tonight with my date/friend "T" about 10ish or so. Not sure where I am/we are starting.. but it sure has been awhile since I have been out that way.It will be nice to have a drink, as it has been a long time since I've had that as well. :)
oh wait.. i think i am going to Brick bar. hehe.
come out. call/text or send 'post-it' (with your name & #-- since it goes to my phone as 'guest'). It would be nice to catch up with some of you (e:peeps)!
where you at (e:vincent)?! I know you'll end up around there sooner or later. :D

watched some of the game, had a couple of beers (and a shot, thanks (e:vincent)!), chatted with friends, old and new. Good time..

I confess to an attack of lameness. I wanted to go, but when you warned me about "Not alone" I didn't want to be a thrid or fifth wheel or even worse, who's the old guy.

Hope you had a great time, my lame ass stayed in. I thought the camera thing might be an omen, plus I couldn't stay awake for the entire game but I caught all the highlites on NHL network. Hope you had a blast and that you woke up hours after I typed it.
