WHAT IS THIS PINK SHIT?!

[Jenne]

Which can be solved by playing paper-rock-scissors.

We're not a very close family, so a phone call usually suffices well enough. No long trips to see relatives who give me Sean Hannity: Culture War or some such shit for Christmas.

Luckily, these are the COOL in-laws, so I don't mind the tug-of-war.  It gets us into No Cal, besides when I go and visit my dad in the state pen up in SLO.

better turn on the heater and bundle up in a blanket with some hot coffee/chocolate/tea Roger!  Be careful not to venture much outside as we wouldn't want you to catch your death in that horrible cold.   

Bad winter last year.  I think there was even frost once.

Here, the snow stays where it belongs...on the surrounding mountains, looking all pretty.

I like when it does that.  The snow is close enough to go visit if you want to.  But it's far enough away it doesn't shit all over your car when you're already 10 mins late for work.

I can go skiing in the morning and swimming outdoors in the afternoon.

That's where I live too--surf in the a.m., ski in the p.m.

and still have time to tan in the afternoon!

You get skin cancer here in about 5 minutes.  Lotsa sun, high altitude.

Call me a party pooper, by I dislike anything that makes me rot when I expose myself.

PALE IS IN! GO PALE PEOPLE

I have a "natural tan," so I guess I never saw the lure in baking your skin to a crisp.  If I tan, it's accidental.  I only "laid out" as a teen, and then only a handful of times.  *shrug*  But I LOVE swimming, so if I'm at an outdoor pool often during the Summer, or at the beach, I'll get browner.

I have a perma-farmer's tan from going to the barn.  Everything else is stark white no matter what I do.

HAHA LOL

I always forget how dark my natural pigmentation is until I'm in bed with someone pale, and them I'm all, "I'm colored, LOLOLOL!"

I do like the newd beach in the summers, and I usually manage to go three or four times a year for some evening sun and reading on the beach while I get sand up my cooch.
