Terminalcoffee discussion

The leaders of the world are debating on how to stop global warming while Mother Nature is showing them that they are wasting their time and our money.

Global warming includes unusual cold and snow. It's about climate CHANGE of any sort, not just heating up.

The greater irony is that attending the summit increases your carbon footprint.

I love irony!

Me too, but I hate ironing.

Since it has gotten colder from 1997 on, they decide to change the name to Climate Change. And with each storm, flood etc they blame on global temperature increases. The simple fact is that all the oddness of weather has gone on forever.

Take a look at the Max Plank Science society statements. They have around 11 Nobel Prize scientists. They have stated that they believe temperature changes are due to sun activity.

I agree. Ironing sucks. But as least it's more avoidable than vacuuming. :)

I like to iron. I find it soothing and satisfying.

I don't mind ironing but I hate my OCD tendency to check 1,000 times to make sure I not only turned the iron off, but unplugged it as well.

I like extreme climate change probably because I'm moody. If it was sunny and 75 everyday I'd never get any writing done, nor would my characters die a horrible tragic death. ;)

I think I own an iron, but I'm only vaguely aware of how to use it. I just will my clothes not to wrinkle.

Sarah, was that double post meant to be ironic?

I get hot when I iron, and a bit testy. There's some global warming for ya.
I volunteer to never iron again, if it'll help. :)

::creates a wrinkle in time::

What double post? ;)

Yeah... see post #2.

There are often a lot of Tibet supporters at the climate change talks around the world. Tibet's been affected by all the ignorant crap China has done on the plateau (whether that falls under "Climate Change" properly or not), which is only going to hurt China because guess where all their rivers start...

I've used an iron maybe twice in my life.

::calls Mrs. Whatsit::

Mrs. Who?

No, Who's on second.





:)

Which is on third?

Which was on third, wasn't it?

Which which?

I wasn't watching. What about it?

It's a killer clown brain.

Same with me, except...not the characters thing...I just wouldn't get anything done if the weather was always...nice...I guess is how they call it...

This whole thread is ironic. No, I didn't say moronic.

I need a vodka and tonic.....

No but my vacuum is. It sucks in a big rotating circle. I know I know you don't have one.

Yes, it seems to suck in giant sideways sweeping motions.

I'm going to package all my ironing up and send it to you, Sally. For you. Because I know how much you'd like that. ;)

As long as there's no dark chocolate in there.

Me too, but I'll need the white dress shirt before Christmas eve, so if you could put a rush on it I'd appreciate it.

You know, people, things aren't going to be all that tidy by the time the postal service gets them back to you. And you know I'd send them media rate just because.

I'm not that picky, Sally. And unlike Jim, I'm in no hurry. I haven't worn some of these clothes in more than a year... :)

The joke at Jake's preschool was how all these toddlers not only loved playing with the toy iron, but how they even knew what it was, since no one irons.

Except Sally.

Oooof, speaking of which, I just remembered a severely traumatic childhood incident. I was fascinated with the iron, and even tho I was strictly forbidden not to, I couldn't help myself and ironed my then single-aunt's satiny underwear. Naturally it melted on the iron, and yet I lied when I said Twasn't me, it wasn't! I was mortified, I loved my aunt and I had ruined her sexy underwear! Which I noted was very different than the cast-iron white girdles my mother wiggled into every morning.

Traumatic childhood events involving feminine undergarments are never OK, Lori. I hope you seek help.

Something tells me our politicians don't understand the concept of irony.

Mary! I just figured out why I now go commando!

Hahahahahahahaha!!!! Melty underwear, beware!!!

We are about to get a foot of snow dumped on us in the North East. I will be stuck in the house. Ironing will be a productive activity.

Be sure to read that little tag on the waistband.

I could be stuck in the house for a year and NEVER iron. (Bunny, how happy are you to be missing this snow storm?)

To quote my husband, it's snowing its ASS off here.

Where is Church Road, VA, Mary? I'm in Northern VA. It just started here.

We're about 180 miles south of DC, in Dinwiddie county.

Dinwiddie is a very cool name for a county.

It's not snowing here in Houston where I'm parked for the night. By the way, Heidi is also in the area.

So I'm getting it next I guess!

Oh, y'all are so lucky to be getting snow.

You're kidding right, Sally? We have no idea what to do with snow. It's not a good thing. The whole place will shut down and everything will get cancelled. My babysitter will refuse to come over tomorrow and I'll miss my Christmas party, or the hotel will have to cancel the party because their employees can't get to work. (It's awfully pretty, though!)

Aw, that is true. But it makes everything so magical and its like time stops. You can stay in your pajamas and drink spiked cocoa (have an extra for me) and read books all day and listen to Christmas music. Sure, it'll be annoying for a while but it makes everyone STOP and appreciate things. And just in time for Christmas!

That's true. I'm going to start looking at it that way. Too bad I wasn't more stocked up on junk food.
