Snow's coming

I agree that it's very pretty to watch. When I was still up north, I shared a corner office at work. Our office backed up to a forest. It was beautiful when it snowed, and the deer would often come out of the woods and right up to our building. Since we were on the 3rd floor, we'd have to crain our necks to see them when they came that close. But people with first floor offices would occasionally have deer come right up to their window. I do miss that part!

But I hate going out in the snow, and particulary, driving in it. I'd love to go to a ski lodge, though, and just hang out inside the lodge drinking hot cider in front a big fireplace, and looking out at the scenery. Couldn't get me on the slopes, though. In addition to hating to go out in the snow and cold, I'm afraid of heights!

Maybe it has to do with age. It seems to me like everything is going by so damned quickly lately.

Yep, it sure does! It's even worse if you have kids. Time has flown by even faster since my son was born.

That's so odd! Well, actually, I'm odd because I like the winter and it's spring that depresses me. Once the days start getting longer, I get sad for some reason. I can't explain it.

You're at least the 2nd person in this thread that feels that way! I am totally the opposite. I get depressed when the days start getting noticably shorter. My mom's even worse than me... on the longest day of the year, she gets depressed because she knows the days are going to start getting shorter. Even though you can't notice it for a couple months. I think it's the Italian in her!

Yes! That bitch wife needs to hit the high road, I cannot stand her. And Dempsey pisses me off. Hello, you're an asshole. You cavorted around without ever telling Merdeith that you were married and then you tease her with "I can't do this." Pfffft.

His character has been an a$$ this season. He's been so wishy washy. It's obvious he doesn't really love his wife any more. I don't understand why he seems to feel some sense of loyalty towards her... once she cheated on him, that loyalty should have flown out the window! And he was so bitter towards her when she came to Seattle... but all of a sudden, a few weeks later, he decides to try and make the marriage work? Of course, we all know he and Meredith will get back together eventually. But the writers have to string us along forever. That scene in the elevator was painful to watch. You could feel the sexual tension, and I really thought he'd give in. But the d*ck says "I can't do this" and walks out! WTF is that?! I have to admit, though, that I rewound and watched that part again. The tension was palpable!
