    Small talk will now solely consist of bitching about the winter season that comes, like clockwork, every year...just as it has for their entire lives and they still can't get over it.

    I could also do without having to pay bills. That would be nice.

    I will never understand why people continute, as you said, to talk about the same shit every season. they bitch about the weather constantly, in the same manner, with the same comments, every fucking year.

    if you hate it that much, move.

    I hate it (I live in Winnipeg FFS), but don't feel the need to complain about it every fucking day.

    Work. Not the kind of work where you labor all day and produce something tangible. I mean wasting my days in front of a computer answering phone calls and returning emails. That work.

    washing dishes.

    cleaning up my kids toys after I've stepped on them and made a barbie/lego/shopkins indent in the bottom of my foot.

    I could do without icy roads since I'm a cycle commuter. Otherwise I generally don't complain about the weather.

    actually, it's the only sanctuary I get during the day. don't get me wrong, I love my daughters, but I often will offer to wash the dishes just to have an excuse to put on the headphones without (as much) interruption.

    Anything to do with any type of weather less than 75 degrees and sunny. Fuck snow, fuck rain, fuck ice, fuck layers of clothing, fuck wind, fuck boots, fuck gloves & dexterity loss, fuck wearing jackets while driving, fuck windshield wiper fluid, fuck gas bills, fuck blankets. I hate it all!!

    And I'll go opposite. I would love to live without weather that is above maybe 13C (55F). I HATE HATE HATE warm/hot weather.

    No way, summers are still a living hell for me. It's usually 22 - 30C in the summer, even hotter in a real heat wave. It makes me want to die, lol.

    Small talk will now solely consist of bitching about the winter season that comes, like clockwork, every year...just as it has for their entire lives and they still can't get over it.

    I could also do without having to pay bills. That would be nice.

    I'm one of those people that complains about the same winter shit every winter. If I could move, I would. Honestly, I'd love to! But I don't have the money to move and in my line of work, you don't land a cushy job that pays for you to relocate. In fact, in my active search for employment elsewhere in warmer states over the last 4 months, I haven't found anything that even pays what I already make. Definitely can't afford a paycut! So, I bitch about winter when it's winter. I have to listen to damn near everyone I know bitch about the heat in the summer, they can do me this favor in return :lol:

    Right on! I f'n love the heat and humidty. That's why I moved to coastal NC. It still gets cold every now and then. When it does I bitch, moan, whine and complain.

    I could do without hearing people having fucking sneezing fits.

    ok, I guess I was comparing it to anywhere else in canada. you don't have to fuck around with winter, and it's relatively cool in the summer, AND YOU HAVE NO MOSQUITOES.

    The moistness of the air in winnipeg in mid summer is disgusting. everything and everyone is wet as fuck.

    Although, I could do without stepping in cat puke in the middle of the night.
    But she cuddles and purrs and gives me non-sloppy kisses so I forgive her. :)

    I'm not afraid to admit. I've owned both. I'm a cat guy. They are independent, smarter, and just plain evil. I love them.

    Oddly, looking back, I have a much stronger emotional bond with my dog, but in the present, cats all the way.

    dream't of both and while cats are more enjoyable to be because they are acrobatic and agile and zealous i feel at home with cats
    i prefer the dog for its companionships and interest even though they feel crappier but more in touch with humans in terms of
    connection and bond so i rather be a cat but love a dog so neither is better than the other because cats do love but when they want it
    as in dogs are in your face all the time and i love that

    I don't like cats.
    They are worse than people.
    They abuse (scratch) you at will and only require your attention when it suits them.
    Humans are their real catnip because they are never owned by them, will freely do what they please and will always be forgiven.

    Not always. Cats are more aloof, because they are intelligent and actually posses greater thought
    Processing skills than dogs. And generally I agree with you, cats are jerks. But the cat I have now is probably the most awesome cat I've ever had. He is cuddly, he does tricks, and walks on a leash. He's the first cat I have ever "trained". I put that in quotes because I think he is just doing his tricks to humor me; but mostly because he's smart and knows he'll get a treat for them! :lol:

    Animals are awesome, period. I think we connect with / perceive them in different ways. And as we have individual personalities and temperaments, so do they. Energy isn't always aligned.

    Hahaha. I love cats because they are so selective. A dog will come to almost everyone (except Lisa....she's special) but if a cat comes up to you it's like an honor.
