Which BYC member scares you?

My husband loves to remind me that direct body contact is the best way to warm up a cold person.

Now I know why you kick him

 

[EmmaRainboe]

Good. It's crap

 

[Everose]

That’s basically here. Trade places?

Hmmm.
Red for blue
I'm good.

 

[EmmaRainboe]

The what now?

Jersey giant

One thing that northerners just don't understand is the humidity. I had an empty bunny barn, covered and wrapped with tarps, that filled with snow and ice. It's so different from the months of cold that other states get

Oh for sure. People here are like “It’s SO humid.” And I’m like:

Until you have taken a stroll through southern swamps, you don’t know humidity.

Yep.. just like a husband.

But all that white stuff...

What about it?

Dandelions?

Actually kinda rare where I am at. Not enough moisture. I have some precious ones in my yard.. tasty!

It's really just the lack of empathy over our different situation which made me say "northerners"
They tend to see our -12°F and laugh while waving their -60°F in our faces.
I'm not saying y'all don't have humidity, and you certainly have it worse in the winter months
We just aren't prepared for that kind of thing, and our humidity is constant.

No I'm not saying y'all are like that at all, it's just all the negative comments and laughing remarks that were constantly being made after that incident.

Yep.. -15F last winter and -30F at my folks house in the mountains. My chickens are tough.

I'm a bit surprised that it was such a disaster situation simply because hurricanes are already a thing for costal Texas. Yes, different kind of weather of course, but some similarities. Power outages, lack of supplies, being stranded, etc. Or am I waaay off course?

Oh those are always a huge disaster. During Harvey we were pretty lucky, our whole neighborhood got flooded, but our house was untouched. Super lucky considering we were cornered between a large lake and the bayou. We lost power for a few weeks but that was the worst of it. So many families lost all their belongings that year

That's why I hate lousyana, it's literally the armpit of the south. In houston we had a gorgeous costal breeze. Where I am now is lakes and ponds and marshy woods, absolutely steaming hot

Ugly pants Oreo. This bird is going to look like a complete freak.

Harvey was the freaking worst!
So many of my friends lost everything, and tons of people died
