Guh. If I were richer I'd buy a couple of sets to have on hand as presents or loaners. Julia, currently hammered by increased copays at a bad time |

You got the snow we got on Sunday night, but I think you got twice as much. It's been a snowy winter, but no terribly cold days below 0. I'll take snow over 20 straight days of -0 weather anyday. But enough is enough. It's time for spring!  And I'd say we're getting it today. It literally hasn't stopped snowing since yesterday afternoon, and there's more than a foot of snow on the porch railing now—it's even deeper in places on the porch itself. When Kaylee tries to move around where I haven't already walked the snow is up to her chest. Speaking of Kaylee... when we went out this morning I strapped on some snowshoes to make walking a little easier. As I tried to take some pictures, wiping the lens clean frequently, I caught the edge of one and started toppling backward. It was a bit of a slow-motion fall, so I was able to keep the camera safely in the air. But as soon as I landed, Kaylee ran over, poked me in the face with her nose... and promptly started digging at my coat pockets to try and get to the cookies she knew I was carrying. Lassie she ain't.  Can't wait to see those photos! And what Michelle said.  |

She's no Lassie, but give her props: she at least made sure you were breathing before taking advantage of the situation.  |

Julia, currently hammered by increased copays at a bad time I went ahead and bought it, even though I've never seen it before. I see so many on my flist gushing about it I figured it was worth $20 to see what all the fuss is about. |

That last episode with the nekkid and the nekkid and the . . . nekkid. ;D |

Lassie she ain't. I've contemplated getting some snow shoes once I get to Wyoming. How much of a learning curve is involved? |

I'm still rating episode 4 as #1 in the gross-out Olympics, however. Aside from the blood and violence, I think Bones still is the leader in sheer gross special effects. |

So, how about that last fight scene with the big blond guy? Can't remember his name. I felt almost Roman as I was cheering Spartacus and yes, even Crixus on. Could not wait to see blond giant killed. That put a crimp in the Magistrate's and the other gladiator runner's plans, huh?

Sounds like my kind of show.  |

When he first went down I kept screaming at them not to turn their backs on him and assume he's dead, but did they listen to me? NOPE. I mean, honestly, that's like the oldest trick in the book.  |

LOLOLOLOL! I was doing the same thing! Seriously, how could they not know he wouldn't die that easily? ;D |

Well, if you like nekkid men with awe-inspiring bodies, graphic sex, violence and the messiness of life itself, not to mention great acting and action, then, yep, it's your kind of show. |

Sounds like my kind of show. After the "My Bloody Valentine" episode, with that opening scene? SPN is now definitely my number one for grossness. |
