Iowawegian Posted February 10, 2011 Share #1 Posted February 10, 2011 living here in frozen Arctic circle of Iowa (yeah, it's 32 below 0 ...again).... I start to suffer from brain freeze. It's a terrible disease and happens every year around the end of Feb. It's dark at 5:00, cold, blizzardy, windy, etc, etc. Honest to gosh.....everyone walks around here in a daze for months on end. Nothing to do, nowhere to go, tired all the time, it's miserable. Please don't tell me to move cuz all the family lives within 20 minutes and I would miss them to much. So..............anyway, just wanted to thank you for helping me keep my sense of humor. No computer at home, so the only time I can jump on is during work. Everyday, someone posts something so funny, I end up spitting my coffee out while I'm reading a post. I start laughing so hard, my co worker think I've lost my marbles. All I do is talk, eat, and sleep motorcycles. (I'm sure people where we live think we're nuts) I just really appreciate having this forum so even if the hubby and I can't ride for 6 months out of the year, it helps just to talk about it. So thanks for helping me keep my sanity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iowawegian Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share #2 Posted February 10, 2011 and I don't want to hear any of you from Minnesota people telling me you got it worse up there....at least you've got a lot of trees/lakes and scenery. Nothing but flat land and no trees within sight of here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemo Posted February 11, 2011 Share #15 Posted February 11, 2011 I love Iowa, too, but don't spend your retirement years fighting that snow and cold. Start saving the dollars now, then spend them later on a motorhome and spend the Winters in Southern Texas or Florida. We stay in Mission, TX. You could even take the bike with you! But, Spring is just around the corner, so think positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing but flat land and no trees within sight of here! Would you like a little cheese with that whine? LMAO Ya it has been real fun all winter. You can have this crap. It has been below 20F for 3 fricken months. I feel your pain and you can keep it. Come on week-end it is supposed to be 30+. A regular heat wave!

I hope that bald headed knuckle headed, weather man on our local station isn't just messin' with me, telling us it's going to be a heat wave at 30 degrees! Poor Hubby has only had 2 weekends since November 1st, that he hasn't been called in to plow roads. I noticed last night even his eyes are starting to glaze over. Yep, another case of the dreaded brain freeze disease! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashley9187 Posted February 12, 2011 Share #18 Posted February 12, 2011 Just think, a few years from now you'll think fondly of this time. Because the new ICE Age is in the very early stage. This Is just the beginning. Because they say so. http://www.iceagenow.com/Its_a_cycle-its_a_cycle-its_a_cycle.htm Rick A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
