This reminds me of the quizzes we had in English class on learning the meaning of a word and using it in a sentence. What is, e.g., truancy, use it in a grammatically-correct sentence : " I don't know the meaning of the word 'truancy' " , or: "The English professor asked us to write a sentence using the word 'truancy'" . Maybe this is how Lewis Carroll got started ( probably with much wittier comments, though)Silicon Waffle said:

That is the usual reaction to my (failed) joke attempts, by those who are not quick-enough to avoid me when they see me approaching them.Silicon Waffle said:
I would want to learn in this mental game who imagined most. I think only I did.WWGD said:

That looks pretty much like average temperature here. :-) but sometimes we have slightly above 30 in summer and - 5 during the day in winter. The were years when we had - 15C in day temperature but those years are gone now that we have global warming :-(Silicon Waffle said:What area in the world has the average temperature of 2-12 deg Celsius in winter, 14-20 in spring, 22-27 in summer, and 10-15 in fall ? I would want to live there.
Where on the east coast? No snow for a few years?Borg said:Speaking of winter weather, it looks like a Big Ol Snow Storm is headed for the east coast this weekend. We've haven't gotten any for the last few years so it will be nice to have a BOSS or two pass through this winter.
They could use fridges to protect their food from totally freezing outsideWWGD said:
Yeah, DC is pretty far south. I grew up in NH, and a winter without snow was unheard of. Then, though, I found out the winters as close as NYC were very much milder than ours. Keep going south and you end up in Florida.Borg said:
Talking about storing food during winter, I had some time living in the north of Japan (Hokkaido) where I used to leave my covered ready-made fish or chicken outside my window the whole snowy night such that I could save some pennies for not having to use the fridge.WWGD said:
I guess some people might have done the same.I prefer dogs. But I don't like chihuahuaSophia said:

Closest to that I have done is leaving food out of the fridge during cold nights (I use a heavy blanket to keep me warm).Silicon Waffle said:Talking about storing food during winter, I had some time living in the north of Japan (Hokkaido) where I used to leave my covered ready-made fish or chicken outside my window the whole snowy night such that I could save some pennies for not having to use the fridge.
