You Know You're a Northerner When...

[lazy gardener]

Yeah, I was that way too, but now I have to wear dresses and formals and stuff a lot and there's just something about trying to pull on panti-hose (who invented THOSE darn things, anyway) over pokeys that makes my skin crawl~

Blooie, IMO, if they are close enough that they can see the hair on my legs, they are invading my personal space.

FYI, for those that hate to shave like me and get ingrown hairs.

I use the Men's Norelco electric shaver. Have had the same one for 28 years and only changed the cutters once ! Don't get the women's electric shavers, they PULL the hair.

Now granted I don't have Uber hairy legs but I get ingrown hairs and this cures that.
No water, use on dry skin, be careful of razor burn DO NOT do the back side of knee caps or under arms!
Take all of 3 min, longer if you really care to get them all
My teenage daughter uses it too so you know it is easy hahahhaha no more cut legs for her.

I tell you, this is the best thing I have ever used and the one 'appliance' that has lasted this long ! Best $28 I spent on my X-husband err myself !--- he couldn't use it because he had Super thick face hair so I used it.

Mostly I use a cheap Bic, and have bandaids at the ready for the requisite bleeding. But, then I have no social life, so only shave before doctor appointments. Most of year wear jeans. Besides when you get old enough - hair doesn't come back like before. Usually have to shave only right leg - few hairs- left stays bald. The one perk of old age I guess.

as a guy from the north i can say my legs are like Sasquatch.

By the time summer rolls around, I'm in the bathroom with a bottle of liquid courage and a weedeater. <sigh>

When you are trying to use sealant or something with -something degrees and pure determination. You can't do it any other day... they're all the same.

When you run out of freezer space so you put frozen foods outside. And they stay colder than in the freezer.

The stew i made for supper is out cooling on the bbq but i worry the bears will come get it.

 

[Blooie]

Well, you just go out there and tell them bears to get back to bed...that's stew is for your supper!! Sheesh! Here the bears are long ago tucked in and snoring. Know how I know they're snoring? Where do you think our 60+ mph winter winds come from?

You know you are at Northerner when you have to shovel your roof.
