And another thing....

What the heck is it with Unitarians and their unnatural desire to bring Spring around in the middle of December? Every service from now until April 21st is going to have people standing up extolling the virtues of Spring! Soon will come spring! Spring is near! We just need to wait out this winter, and then SPRING will be here.

A: Winter's a necessary Season. If there was no winter, the land would get no rest from growing things, and everything would die.

B: Winter has plenty of charms by itself!

C: It's only been winter for LESS THAN A MONTH!

D: Spring brings RAIN, MUD, WIND and FLOODING. They'll be complaining about that soon enough.


In summation, CUT WINTER A BREAK, SUCK IT UP, AND TRY TO ENJOY YOURSELF. (Or Move South.) :P

*sigh* Unitarians. :)

A.: Florida is not dead.
B.: Snow. The first time.
C.: Depends on your definition of winter.
D.: Without Winter, there's a lot less MUD and FLOODING.

A: Most of the inhabitants are! *RIMSHOT*

A: Florida is not dead, at a cellular level.

A lot of Florida is not dead and has exoskeletons.

Everyone knows the only people who like winter are Mindy and you.

Yuck! :)

This userpic accurately describes my personal feelings about winter. :) I don't deal well with cold. There's no autocross. I can't ride my motorcycle. It impedes travel to pretty much anything I want or have to do. I have to spend more time outside in the cold clearing off the car to go to these places, and contend with other drivers being far more idiotic on the road than usual (and that takes something).

BUT, I understand that it is part of the natural cycle of the seasons. I don't enjoy it, but even I don't think it's all bad. Well, except when "winter" ends up lasting 6 months here in Maine. :) If we lived more in tune with the natural cycles of the world and such, we'd be settled in and hibernating right about now, rather than doing many of the things that annoy us in the winter. Keep me warm, and I'm happy. :)

Winter is dandy if you don't have to shovel snow or worry about getting to and from work on the really really ugly days (and I do not consider us to have had more than one ugly day so far this winter and that one was mostly due to human stupidity and panic rather than the actual weather)

I like winter. I like sleeping with the blankets pulled up cozy around my shoulders. I like winter foods, all hearty and filling. I like snow and walking in it provided I know that there's dry warm clothing waiting at home. I like skating, though I haven't done it in a dogs age. I like the quiet nights when the world's sounds are all muffled by the snow on the ground.

In short, I guess I'm not cut out to be a Unitarian.

Welcome to Extended Christian Metaphor 101, where we shall use "winter" as the code-name for every icky thing there is.

So sayeth the Texan, who is 'enjoying' 80 degrees, 80% humidity, and cedar pollen levels so high you can actually see it in the air.

Just one more hard freeze, please? (Metaphorize as you will...)

[liddle-oldman.livejournal.com]

A) Eh?

B) I'm sorry! I was just trying to note the solstice and the death of the Fisher King! *cringes*

Oh, it's not just you, good sir. Pretty much everyone who stands up there (you, Sheldon, etc) always makes it a point to mention the "O SO EVIL WEATHER WHICH RUINED ALL OUR PLANS BUT SPRING IS COMING SO REJOICE" or something like that. :)

A: plenty of nice places don't have winter, like Hawaii- they just have differently-adapted plants.

However, winter is a nice excuse for cocoa and woodstoves.

Well, it's good to have goals, and spring is one of those things you can count on.

I like snow. I just hate being cold. I'm far more comfortable removing layers to cool off than adding more and more to warm up. It's more fun that way, too.

I suppose anything that leads to ladies wearing less clothing is a good thing. OK, you have made the best point to far. Oh, wait, Hot Tubs! Aha! Rebuttal!

Or Move South

I do believe, my good sir, that you are beginning to catch on....

[siercia]

Never!
