Me? But all I said was that the snow totals and timing were different on each station...

Haha no not you.
 
As a public service to the random thread gang I am sharing my warning from the weather thread.

The Boxstercy Iowa Road Trip Model [SUP]TM [/SUP](aka BIRTM) predicts a high probably of ****** weather and ****** roads. The BIRTM is a probabilistic model based on decades of Boxstercy trips to and from Iowa that inevitably produce ****** weather and ****** driving conditions. It is a time proven predictive model and very simple. The only input needed is "yes" or "no" to "Will Boxster be driving in Iowa?".

BIRTM is fully applicable to both winter and summer. Boxster on the road in the summer = hail, high winds and maybe tornadoes (did u-turn in 2008 and retreated 20 miles north to avoid the cell that had gone through Parkersburg). Boxster on the road in Iowa in winter = high winds, freezing rain, terrible road conditions, deep snow and high probability of I-35 closure.

Expect the worse, I am coming to Iowa!
 
Well since Boxy is driving from MN to IA, I am going to go with the model that shows heavier snow in N Iowa (Mason City was at 7") and lighter as you go south. The BIRTM seems like the most reliable predictor at this point.

Is the women's game first or second? I know I looked once. And it is on my fridge and I could look it up quick. My 9y old is going, trying to decide if I take the younger two as well. I avoid games with them if it falls during naptime.

Men at 1:00
Women at 6:00

Don't want to spend the $$$ it would take to get lower level for the men's game (where I could actually see the game).

Well, that definitely isn't naptime then. ;) Will have to see if my parents bail on the women's game depending on the weather. It is the last one they can see since they will be gone all of Feb. And after the game this week my mom may be even more pessimistic. ;) I sent my dad a text at the end of the game asking if mom was cursing up a storm. "Yes" was the reply.
 
I love trolling my son. :) His post:

...This pretty much sums up my day so far.




His friends then start trying to one-up him.

So I add MY two cents worth:
So sad for you all. My day has been more like this:

Yes. I'm THAT mom. *evil grin*
 
What is your team name? No way it is better than Ames High Garden Club (Cash Money Hoes)
One of my favorite team names was The China (say it quickly and it sounds like a certain female body part), which was three years ago. Administration somehow never caught on, yet they won't allow anything with the word "ball."

How many points did you score last night? I was watch the white mambas lose.
 
When a month starts on a Sunday, like February will, that means the 13th will land on a Friday.

Also, because February, in non-leap years, has 28 days, the dates and days line up the same in March as they do in February. So, March will also start on a Sunday, with the 13th landing on a Friday.

We have back-to-back Friday the 13ths coming up, people.

I noticed that Friday thing today too. Scheduling some things and we moved stuff originally due Monday to the previous Friday (the 13th). I wonder if that bodes poorly for me.
 
My phone is playing a dangerous game of "crash and restart in the middle of Cowgirl's phone calls, including when she finally got through the insurance que and had just explained her entire situation to the person"


I wanted to wait until the house was done but DH doesn't think it will live that long. Crashed today trying to decide on a door thing with DH.

There was a girl's team named the cunning runts when I was in school, I think it was mostly XC girls.

Sounds like my husband's phone. But he has purposely been trying to kill the things for over a year and it just won't die. Finally ordered a new phone through work last month and it disappeared into thin air after it shipped.
 
my insurance thing? I start asking around and find I'm not the only one. Talk to HR. They just found out last week that we have all been improperly getting charged co-pays for the past 18 months. I'm thinking darn, just missed my chance at being the one to break it open, haha.
