Took Fritha out for a walk since I knew she'd need to poop before the snow hits. She's bundled up in a nice dog jacket, her doggles & earpro. She also decided to drink water from nearby puddles and now is vomiting on the living room carpet.

At least she's doing it next to the sliding door so I can let her out immediately.

Haven't knowingly met or gone to school with any murderers, but off the top of my head:

- a girl from my first elementary school was a morning show host on Toronto TV. She and her brother now have a morning radio show
- two guys from my high school have won the Stanley Cup (the hockey trophy, not the beverage tumbler), one was in my graduating class and the other in the next class
- another guy from my graduating class has won a Juno (Canadian Grammy) and was nominated for 4 other Junos
- well after my time, first runner-up in the first season of Canadian Idol was a student at my high school

And from my college, also after my time, a then (now ex-) girlfriend of Michael Phelps, and White House press assistant under Trump.

I went to the same high school as the guy who created a production company who's done some rather famous shows including Welcome to Wrexham and Last Chance U. He played Harold Hill in our production of The Music Man when I was a sophomore and a simple cast member with no speaking roles.

yeah Haley's the only one with a prayer, and that's out the window the second Trump gets in front of a microphone and uses her actual first name & says he 'doesn't care how she identifies, OK?'

high school chat: the only thing interesting that happened was we had a principal fired over winter break & the most liberal girl in the class rounded up everyone's email accounts (a big project in the early 2000s) and scheduled a schoolwide sit-in protest for the first day back, mainly to just get administration to tell us why our first-year well-liked principal got fired over holiday break
to this day we have no idea why he got fired, so i'm left to assume it was some creepy sex poo poo that nobody involved wanted to leak

that woman is now "famous" as a conservative talking head with several notoriously gross children

They're all absolute loving monsters, but he's one of the more entertaining ones, and a complete lunatic. He got rich on an IPO for a company that never actually made anything. It was some medical thing, he didn't commit outright fraud (or at least didn't get caught) so it's not quite the same as Elizabeth Holmes, but at least people like Zuckerberg or Musk were involved in making things that people use everyday (they probably shouldn't, but they do). He got rich off vaporware.

One of the most entertaining things in the Republican primaries for 2016 was watching Trump just absolutely destroy all of the other candidates, and well, we saw where that got us.

Pablo Torre is out in these streets saying Vivek was That rear end in a top hat in college, because of course they went to college together. If somebody who went to Harvard is saying “this guy was too pretentious and up his own rear end for Harvard” then that sounds pretty awful.

You also are not paying me to pay attention to the GOP circus, so I’m not volunteering any brain cells to it.

Moving away from not just the city but the country helps to lose touch of a lot of people from high school, turns out :v: I only lived there for 3/4 of high school anyways, so it’s not like lifelong friends. I’m sure plenty of people are doing well from there, but not too many super high profile so far as I can tell.

Huh, I had always learned and read that shoveling snow was one of the most common activities for someone to have a heart attack, but having lived in Miami until recently, I never saw a case of that. Guess I will be readjusting my radar in the future...

We had winter storms on both Monday and Wednesday, and a blizzard yesterday. Eastern Iowa is just a madhouse right now; my fiancée literally can't get out of her driveway because there's a foot of snow there. A friend of mine who works part-time at Hy-Vee (Midwest grocery store chain, think Publix) on the side for some extra cash says the shelves are bare because they haven't been able to get trucks there for stocking.

I guess it's Mother Nature's revenge for November and December being utterly dry.

Shoveling snow can be a taxing activity and with your body under the stress of being in inclimate weather, it makes total sense that the out-of-shape are at increased risk of a heart attack.

Still waiting for the snow to hit my part of Portland. My shovel stands ready though.

Because I can't drive due to two bad legs and a broken back (edit: And loving Iowa Medicaid still won't approve a goddamn kyphoplasty for my T12 compression fracture), and going out the front door involves stairs.

The side door doesn't also involve stairs? Or is it like stairs on the outside leading up to the front door?

The latter. I live in a tiny studio apartment (literally the only rooms are my living room--which is also my kitchen--my bathroom and my bedroom), but there's a flight of stairs to get out my front door, and ergo a flight up the stairs to get back in that way. The side door opens to a walkway that leads directly into the parking lot behind the building.

I feel like I’m destined to die of a heart attack while shoveling. Mostly because I refuse to let other people do it so I’m sure I’ll be 75 and out there shoveling some wet sloppy snow and my heart will give out.

The peanut butter cup thing pays off at the end, but it's worth listening to the whole thing.


I pulled up the US map forecast to see how many of my coworkers were going to be affected, and did think about you in ND when I saw it was significantly worse there than here. It's such a pain figuring out how to dress to blow the driveway knowing it's going to be ungodly cold at first, but not wanting to sweat after walking up and down it a few times.

The hospital employees here call the wet, heavy stuff widowmaker snow. There is an influx of heart attacks when it snows, but that's far and away the worst.

I dress with layers when I'm out in cold weather. Base layer is at least moisture wicking or wool if it's going to be really bad, a decent mid layer (hoodie/fleece/softshell), then a hard shell with vents if it's wet out. The wool is the real money move since it can keep me warm despite getting wet.

The other thing I do is "start cold", where I'm actually a tad under-dressed and feel really cold when I start, knowing I will heat up when I am more active. My outer shell having vents like armpit zippers comes in clutch too as when I get too hot I can vent out a little.
