StrangeSox Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 11:42 PM) I don't know how you guys put up with walking to class in that cold of weather. I mean, I had to walk about 15 minutes to class today in 12 degree weather (with the wind chill) and it was awful. I almost thought about stopping half way and going back home. I literally couldn't feel my face when I got inside. Do you guys cover your face or anything when it's in the negative degrees, or just suffer? The worst for me was Jan and Feb 07 down at U of I. Weeks of temperatures in the single digits or lower and a good 20 minutes one way to class. I usually had on long underwear, jeans, thick thermal socks, boots, two t-shirts, a long sleeve shirt, a sweatshirt, my winter jacket, gloves, a hat and a scarf. And I was still cold.

Heads22 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Shorts can be done for short walks outside. If you're moving, you'll be fine. -20 out. Off to class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to teach my dad a few tricks to get a few mice that moved in over the winter. He was leaving cheese on the bait-set and they would just take it off. I had to show him the peanut butter on a string trick and he nailed a huge one within 10 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About half of the way through the camp we finally convinced the instructors to buy us some mouse traps. The first night I set one with a bit of peanut butter, set it down and shut off the lights. 3 minutes it took to get the first one. My total for the next couple weeks was something like 15, but I can't recall the exact count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My total for the next couple weeks was something like 15, but I can't recall the exact count. we had some clever meeces where I was at. They would clean the peanut butter off the trap with not a drop left. My roomate told me to tie a piece of string to the trap, and put peanut butter on the trap and all over the string. When the mouse starts eating the peanut butter and gets the string in its mouth, it instinctively pulls on the string and sets the trap. An old farmhouse I lived at in Carbondale had quite a few little critters lose their lives to that trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 We had loads of snow this morning (made for a nice slippery walk to the subway this morning), but it's stopped now. It's about 20 outside. Meant to be 15 tomorrow, and then a wind chill of -5 tomorrow night (perfect conditions for a Friday Night out in Manhattan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually timed it the same and went to the bathroom at the same place, the mall. 4 Times out of 5 there was someone taking a s***.
