Who wants to run away to some warm climate with me?

[yvr girl]

It's so cold and blustery here today. The rain is almost solid, but not quite. It does hurt when it hits you though.

[GOPisEvil]

1. I'm already here.

Although in August, I'm ready to run to a more temperate climate.

[yvr girl]

3. It's like January today

I'm sure all the cherry blossoms are going to be blown off the trees. :cry:

[GOPisEvil]

5. Oh, now that is quite sad.

Even more sad than snow on palm trees.

[yvr girl]

7. That was pretty sad too

You really should be here to cuddle with. :spank:

[Lefty48197]

62. You got cherry blossoms? You must live in the tropics!

.

[yvr girl]

63. I'm in Canada

Hardly the tropics.

[Lefty48197]

98. Vancouver?

still the tropics compared to Michigan!

[LeftyMom]

2. Yesterday I would have been

LeftyKid and I got caught outside in a hail storm. Not fun.

[yvr girl]

9. Hail is kind of cool in the summer

But this time of year - no thank you.

[LeftyMom]

35. We don't get hail in the summer

We're really happy when the overnight temp is below 8O around here in the summertime.

[Debi]

4. I haven't shaved my legs in like a month...I would scare off the locals nt

[yvr girl]

11. Bring a razor

It doesn't take long.

[Debi]

94. Then they'd think I was trying to rob them and throw me in some

Island prison...:scared:

[flamingyouth]

6. Today is not fun.

I wish I was I Texas. :(

[GOPisEvil]

8. Now when's the last time anyone on DU said THAT?!

;)

[flamingyouth]

14. Yeah, it's probably not a frequent statement.

Still, what I wouldn't do for a cold margarita and a warm day! :D

[GOPisEvil]

21. Well, we might get rain here, too.

It's cloudy and windy. But, it's probably 30-40 degrees warmer. :D

[flamingyouth]

33. It feels really cold here.

The wind & the rain aren't helping. :(

[yvr girl]

36. Some higher parts of greater Vancouver got some snow

I don't think it's sticking but...

[flamingyouth]

40. I hope we don't get snow here!

Maybe I should put my car in the garage tonight.

[yvr girl]

42. I seldom get snow around my place

I'm too close to sea level. I don't think we'll get much if we get any.

[flamingyouth]

48. I've only gotten snow once or twice.

I'm really close to the Montlake Cut. But I got slammed here about three weeks ago - just my neighborhood, though. The rest of the city was spared, it seemed. We got about three inches. It was very weird. :shrug:

[yvr girl]

51. I got a few flakes in November

Didn't stick though.

[DBoon]

91. You can get those in California

Don't go to Texas!

[flamingyouth]

92. Yeah, but I can't get the love of my life in Calif.

Only in Texas :)

[yvr girl]

12. So Seattle is getting this same front?

Brrr...

[flamingyouth]

16. Yes - the painful rain thing. Not fun.

:scared: <--- me as a block of ice

[yvr girl]

17. That's what I look like too

I had to run some errands today. No fun at all.

[Benfea]

10. Not me!

I prefer cold climates. If you're too cold, you can always put more clothes on, but if you're too hot, there's only so many clothes you can take off before you get arrested.

[yvr girl]

15. Well, do you want to come over and snuggle then

At least you could do is help keep me warm.

[Benfea]

19. As you wish! ;) -nt

[yvr girl]

27. You should be here by now

*taps foot*

[Benfea]

34. Cut me some slack! It's a long drive!

:D

[yvr girl]

38. But I want YOU now

I'd be sure to show my appreciation if you hurried.

[leftofthedial]

13. warm climate?

you mean like GD?

[yvr girl]

18. I don't want to be torched

Just warmed up. lol

[leftofthedial]

23. do you like the high desert?

[yvr girl]

25. I have no idea. Never been to one (I don't think)

Is it warm? If not, how do you feel about cuddling?

[leftofthedial]

I'm the reigning North American cuddling champion

Days are warm. Nights are cold.

[yvr girl]

29. Nights were meant for cuddling...

and stuff.

So do you want to be my Sugar Daddy then? I can't work in the States.

[leftofthedial]

37. haven't you been reading the papers?

Hardly anyone can work in the States! LOL

[yvr girl]

41. lol. How about the Sugar Daddy thing?

Take me away from all of this.

[leftofthedial]

58. how much sugar can you stand?

[yvr girl]

59. You can never get too much sugar

I feel I must warn you though. I'm very affectionate.

[leftofthedial]

69. sounds like fate to me

[yvr girl]

71. So you'd be OK if I used you for your body heat?

I'm sure we could arrange for you to get something out of the deal too.

[leftofthedial]

73. sounds like a deal to me

you can use anything you want

[yvr girl]

78. I'm so there

Prepare to snuggle

[leftofthedial]

81. I'm so here

do you like spooning?

[maveric]

20. San Diego Baby!

Although its a chilly 62 degrees today, its mostly warm, dry and sunny.
You come here and you wont want to leave.

[yvr girl]

24. So, I can live with you, right?

Wanna be my Sugar Daddy? (I wouldn't be able to work down there.)

[maveric]

28. Sure. I have a spare room.

Why wouldnt you be able to work here? With all the illegals working here, I cant see why you wouldnt be able to with proper documentation.

[yvr girl]

31. I'm Canadian

We're hopelessly law-abiding. Peace, order and good government et al.

Spare room. That's no fun.

[maveric]

53. Its the biggest bedroom in the apartment.

Close to freeways, shopping and bus/trolley stations. 15 minute drive to the beach. 10 minutes from Downtown.
Its not so bad.

[yvr girl]

55. But I'd be lonely all by myself

;-)

[maveric]

56. My son is in the next room. He's 20 and jobseeking.

You two could go jobhunting together.
Plus we have cable and cable internet....

[yvr girl]

57. You are very hard to proposition

:eyes:

[maveric]

60. No...just being careful in a gentlemanly manner.

You can learn to surf and smkoe weed at the Ocean beach pier with the hippy types.

[yvr girl]

61. Not so into the weed

I tried it once, and it was not pleasant.

[RevolutionaryActs]

22. I'd be up for that.

Today is icky.

[yvr girl]

26. Yes, it is baby girl

Let's run away to Hawaii.

[RevolutionaryActs]

30. Ok!

We can learn to hula. :bounce:

[yvr girl]

32. I know how to hula

I took lessons for a year. I even studied in Hawaii.

[RevolutionaryActs]

39. Ok.. *I* can learn to hula.

:7



Or surf! Surfing would be cool. :7

[yvr girl]

43. I've been surfing too

It was fun. I could use some more lessons though.

[RevolutionaryActs]

46. Lessons with a really hawt instructor?

[yvr girl]

47. Well of course

We'd be silly to do otherwise.

[no name no slogan]

44. It's upper 40s (F) in Minnesota today

and supposed to stay that way for the rest of the week. In fact, it's not even supposed to drop below freezing tonight.

However, the boys high school hockey tournament started today. That means we should get a blizzard within the next 72 hours.

[yvr girl]

49. So are we running away or not

I'm confused.

[no name no slogan]

52. I would, but my gf would definitely not like it

however, if we picked her up from NC on the way, we probably could

[yvr girl]

54. I could never be girl number 2

girl number 1s think they are so all that.

[Blue Belle]

45. Mexico. Coronas w/limes. Umbrellas in drinks.

Now... I'm day dreaming. I'm soooooo tired of rain and wind.

[yvr girl]

50. That sounds almost perfect

I'll pick you up on the way.

[Deja Q]

64. :hug:

Well, I know you wouldn't want someone like me. :D And you've got plenty of real men to choose from anyway. ;)

Nice guys are ignored. Women instinctively prefer aggression. Enough tv shows prove that too. Except the rape ones, there's always a point where there's too much to be tolerated.

[yvr girl]

65. I like confident, not aggressive

there's a difference.

:hug:

[Gato Moteado]

66. it's much greater....

...near the equator.

[yvr girl]

67. Can I come and visit you?

Costa Rica sounds so good right now.

[Gato Moteado]

68. sure

it's always nice and warm on the beach!

[LSK]

70. ok, lets sell everything and buy one of these:

And sail around the world forever.

:popcorn:

[yvr girl]

72. You know my hidden passions

Sailing around the world would be a dream come true.

[LSK]

75. me too

Even thou I have never actually sailed. Somehow it seems like a great idea thou.

[yvr girl]

79. OK, I was hoping you'd be the expert

I don't know what I'm doing either. It would be fun learning though...if we don't kill ourselves in the process.

[LSK]

86. i've read up a little on it

Might take sailing lessons one of these summers. But yeah, Im pretty clueless right now.

Check out these sites:

[yvr girl]

88. I keep meaning to take lessons every summer

but it never happens.

[Babette]

74. Hey, I grew up on Guam....

About 85 degrees every day of the year, every day about the same length (14 degrees from the equator you know). Only prob was the 90% humidity EVERY day. If you want to go there, I'll go too. Family there. I'll introduce you. If you want a job in the govt, I can get it for you (connections- esp. in education and land management). Be ready for an island paradise with lots of govt corruption! Really high prices (everything, and I mean everything, imported by ship)! But, the people are great- accepting and loving (just don't be a haole who loudly proclaims everything is better in the states!) Go to fiestas sponsored by people you don't know and walk away with piles of food (or else insult the host!). Swim in warm waters and see exotic fish (that haven't been killed by the US Navy either releasing toxic waste or blowing up the reef)! Enjoy cultures from all over the East- Samoans, Trukese, Pohnepeiians (women with no shirts slathered in cocoanut oil dancing in the mall!), Japanese, Chinese, Indonesians, Indians, Palauans and much much more! Wonder at the rude US military guys making fun of the islanders!!

[yvr girl]

84. Sounds like a great experience

I have an affinity for islands.

[Babette]

90. Look into it, you may like it...

There is a great need for intelligent people on Guam, they have been experiencing a brain drain for the last 15 years or so. The best and brightest come to the states for college and stay (guess that's why I haven't gone back). There are some moves to turn things around- a move to start the Chinese tourists coming as opposed to only Japanese tourists (hampered by a recession). If you are interested in Guam, check out
http://www.guam-online.com/
http://www.guam.net/home/tropics/ (although I remember nicer beaches than this- ahhhh, I recall midnight cookouts on the beach in Tumon, floating on my back in the warm shallow waters while seeing the multitude of stars above and smelling the yummy bbq from the beach where my step-father cooked chicken)

http://www.holani.com/GuamPhotos.htm Check out the photos of Guam, where America's day begins! Keep in mind it's a US territory, just like Puerto Rico! It's a part of the US, Americans have all the same rights there (except being able to vote for Pres, but you don't really do that here anyway if the vote is fixed!). Ahhhh, the picture of Orote point brings back memories.... gorgeous hike to get there through untouched jungle filled with monitor lizards and other wildlife, swimming with the reef fish, the balate (sea cucumbers), the corals, nearly being swept over the reef by the tides, the warm waters with dappled sun....

Don't believe the "snake" stories about Guam!!! I lived there half my life and only saw three snakes. My Chamorru stepfather quickly dealt with them using the Chammoru "whipsnap" move!

[KitchenWitch]

76. I will be permanently in California within the year

I am kind of enjoying my "last winter" here in Minny.

[yvr girl]

80. As far as winters go

Vancouver's is pretty mild...but I'm tired of the wind and rain.

[0007]

77. Wish we'd get some rain here in West Texas.

Either ya get to much or not enough, 'eh? It has been nice weather here, in the 70's most every day.

[yvr girl]

83. I do like the green grass in Vancouver though

All year round.

[The Sushi Bandit]

82. how bout Maui?!

I'm already here!

[yvr girl]

87. One of my favourite places on earth

Maui is on the way to heaven.

[DanCa]

85. Me me me

My body hates this weather. Funny yahoo radio just started playing Bruce Springsteen's "Waitting on a Sunny Day" as I printed this. It must be an omen from the Boss himself.

[yvr girl]

89. lol

A sunny day would be nice.

[Hardrada]

93. Come away Sweet Love and play thee

Lest grief and care betray thee

Falalala Falala lalala

[El Fuego]

95. I'm already in a warm climate

So just come for a visit

[RetroLounge]

96. Don't you mean with US?

i mean, you think you're going anywhere warm without me?

Hah!

:hug:

RL

[yvr girl]

99. If you're available

I won't need anyone else.

:hug:

[RetroLounge]

101. Ain't you sweet...

:hug:

RL

[RedCloud]

97. Hace mucho calor en mis manos, como lava.

You know what they say,

Mano fría,
Amor por un día
Mano caliente,
Amor para siempre.

These and other such words I promise you in the tropical paradises around the world. It doesn't snow there unless Yellowstone goes supervolcano.

Fresh coconuts.

Mangos, huge and juicy.

O, ven
¡ven tú!

:loveya:

[yvr girl]

100. Sounds good

I have no idea what it means. Let's go.
