@BaKhan: I know it's an old and tired debate. That's just my own personal view. And I'm with LZ for one of the reasons, the price. I find Android is cheaper. Also, I don't like the Apple operating system. Just doesn't work so well for me. I don't try to change anyone's views, as that is what they like. I will razz people about it, but that's as far as I go.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-22T11:54:14-05:00
I do think the app should work for people playing on both platforms together. I'm pretty sure I've played games with my brother and mom, who have iPhones, with my Android.
@LZ: It's quite possible, but it would be such a bad thing for me as I will be distracted quite often by it.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-22T11:59:01-05:00
Very true.
I also think there should be special avatars for the Corps.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-22T11:59:05-05:00
@GM, thats been my point all along. Its just like a preferance in anything, you like what you like. It is a personal choice. I won't pretend to be an expert on this stuff, all I know is my phone, computer, tablet, etc., do what I want them to, how I want them to, everytime I need them to, and on my previous platform of choice, they didn't. Also, my phone hasn't cost me a thing in the last three generations, Telus offers a program called T-up and everytime there is an upgrade, I get it for free, all I have to do is give them my old phone in good/resellable condition. So I just take it to apple, use my applecare to get a brand new one, take it in, and trade it up. Zero cost.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-22T11:59:49-05:00
@LZ, well they have a bacon avatar, so that works for me! ;)
@BaKhan: Yeah, I can never get the iOS to do what I want it to, so I leave it to those that enjoy it, and get confused when my parents ask me for help with theirs.
Also, is there a mountain avatar? That would be perfect for me.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-22T12:18:00-05:00
@Trinkets: You had to ask? I purchased a bottle of apple flavored Crown Royal Wednesday. I got enough food to last me a week.
I plan on spending this time getting my apartment organized well ahead of spring
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-22T12:23:08-05:00
Re: Apple phones
I already have two Apple products (ipad & ipod). I refuse to have 3. Plus, a phone shouldn't cost as much as rent. They are also highly attractive to thieves who like to snatched them from your hand when you are distracted.
I like my Samsung Core Prime phone. Other than the cappy camera, I am well satisfied with it.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-22T12:25:54-05:00
Sorry I haven't been on earlier today. Like a dummy, I volunteered to bring a laptop home so I can work if anyone needed me. I hope this saves me from having to use my vacation leave.
@Geist: Legally, if they have you work while you are on vacation, or lunch break, they are required to give you a full, uninterrupted, break that was interrupted in lieu.
I also have 2 Apple products(which I wish I didn't, but there isn't a better MP3 player that I can use) being an iPod, and iPad(had to get it for school, and haven't touched it since....planning on factory resetting and selling it).
@LZ: I think if people knew exactly what I do at work, their heads would explode. There is so much more to my day than what they normally see.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-22T13:41:47-05:00
But my laptop is neither and it was relatively cheap for its capabilities, mostly since it's custom. Even if I liked apple, I couldn't get a macbook or anything because I need what a gaming pc can offer. Besides, anyone who works with computers knows Apple is the spoiled rich kid who doesn't get along with any of the other children. It works perfect with other apple products, but if you need anything across platforms, avoid apple at all costs. It is a tired debate by now, though.
`
What if, especially if they made an internet version, you could upload an avatar? Then we could all use these ones there! At the least, they could make an operable internet version for the Corps. Maybe then we'd have some of those lamented come crawling back.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-22T14:40:30-05:00
I see how it is. I come in and you all have somewhere else to be. Maybe I'll just call up our old pal ProF and go streaking again! Is that what you want?! Nobody wants that!

Saw two people jogging in the snow before the big snow fall. Got some more cleaning done and now that I got some food in my belly and a drink by my side, it is time to chill. I think I will watch a few of the DVDs that I purchased from the used bookstore.
Boondock Saints is what I'll start with first and then watch the first season of Flight of the Conchords

That's what they're supposed to do.
Now if this were code we were talking about...
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-22T17:03:27-05:00
Yes, Zem, it's a mixture of code, formulae, and conditional formatting.

Hey KCers long time no stop by. Explaintten here (removed it from my name as it was confusing creators. I've now backed over 1,400 Kickstarters). I'd like to say I'm surprised by all the Android complainers but...
I would have titled the update iOS app and mentioned Android app is in the works. There still would have been just as many complainers. Some of them would have had to reword their complaint though.
Hey has anyone asked about when they'll be a Windows phone version other than on the update itself. Windows phone users always get screwed. ;)
How come no one ever thinks about the fact that iOS users are like Guinea Pigs - we usually get the apps before they are ready for real time.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-22T17:07:36-05:00
That because they didn't have an Explanitten to help them write that last update... ;) Good to see you!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-22T17:22:08-05:00
Hi, Explaitten! This app is bringing back all sorts of familiar faces!

Oh great. More spamming.
Well, two can play that game
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-22T21:21:10-05:00
Not here, hopefully.
You two play nice now. And would you like to have a CAH game? We should find an evening it works for most of us and play a game online.
@John Wrot! You do know it's against KS policy to post about your project on another campaigns comments? It also rarely works and is considered rude by most backers. I've not been here in a bit, I know you from your other projects and it's enough to take me from "considering backing" to "no way".
Hey Creeper sorry you haven't had snow yet. We had a dusting this week. Predictions for tomorrow here in NJ are a foot. I'm so glad someone else does the shoveling and cleans off my car.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-22T22:10:17-05:00

Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-22T22:11:20-05:00
You lucky easterners. We only got a few inches. I'll take any snow you don't want. And out here it won't disturb anyone. We can take alot without traffic problems like large cities have and plenty of space to throw it if it becomes too much.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-22T23:02:31-05:00
So wait, all these people here on a friday night and not even recognition to my CAH game online idea? Would you guys want to play Cards Against Humanity together? I guess it's starting to get a bit late now, but it'd be a ton of fun. We only need 3 people to start.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-22T23:17:31-05:00
How is it that NY hasn't been hit buy D.C. is now under a snowy blanket? To top it off, the snow isn't expected to stop until Sunday
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-22T23:41:59-05:00
Geist, stahp! You have no idea how jealous I am! It may be a major and dangerous inconvenience there, but here it wouldn't be nearly so bad, and maybe even welcome! Definitely wecomed by me! Paltry few inches. It used to be the midwest got feet and the east coast got several inches. Now, 2 years in a row, I've had only about 1 foot total each year (at least I hope it'll top off to that much or even more), and the east has had major blizzards.
Hello explaitten! Lovely seeing you here (as well as other campaigns!).
Geist- NYC is supposed to get 12-18 inches. Leo's first snow!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-23T00:01:39-05:00
Aah! Eugh! That new cover of Mad World by Gary Jules or some such came on. It's not that bad, actually, just that it makes me think of the original by Tears for Fears, which makes me think of how amazing that song was, which makes me compare them, which makes me almost gag because the new one somehow overshadowed the original, which makes me skip that one and go to youtube to find the original to get it out of my head.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-23T00:03:23-05:00
Even more gah! Stahp! It's just like flaunting snow in front of my face! Next you'll be saying it'll be below freezing! Some people have all the luck and then don't appreciate it.
Leo will probably love the snow though! You should have acquainted him with the outside area before so that now he'd see how different it is and whatever that stuff is.
I love snow. But not when I have to wake up and commute in it. If the subways are running, I'm expected to show. But I have a 15 minute walk to the train
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-23T00:34:47-05:00
Meh, once the shivering is gone, it feels fine. Maybe one minute of discomfort and then I may be alone, but I actually love the feeling of freezing cold air on my face. Yeah, I'm probably alone there.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-23T00:38:29-05:00
I'm only worried for all the drivers. Crowds + rush hour + extra slow cautious drivers*people who get road rage in slow, heavy traffic (like me) + ice and other road conditions + people not used to driving in snow and ice + danger of driving cars in the first place (constant) = not a good sign for the times to come. There've already been plenty of crashes, which only impedes things more. That's why it'd be better here: divide that sum by we're all used to it*experience + wide open spaces for it to fall and not disturb anyone.
And here you thought you were done with math like this!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-23T05:55:52-05:00
What? Nobody on here at 5 am central? What's wrong with you guys? Not turtle enough for the turtle club?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-23T07:24:59-05:00
Morning kittens. I wake up to a foot of snow and the city at a stand still.
My only question now is whether or not I will be able to get to work on Monday. (I'm hoping "no" since I have the work laptop)
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-23T10:51:32-05:00
Not turtle enough for the turtle club?
Lol, Zem. I've only seen a few minutes of Master of Disguise, but my friends and I quote the heck out of it. I use that turtle line all the time.

Hey, PACG! Lots of familiar faces coming out of nowhere these past few days! Just when we were lamenting the disappearances!
`
Trinkets, I haven't seen it in forever, but it was a funny movie with tons of quotes. Plus, the Turtle Club one is perfect anywhere!
`
Geist, I wouldn't worry. You got your food, shelter, and zombie-hunting materials, and most importantly, your apple captain morgan's. Sitting inside occasionally looking out to the piles of nothingness is one of the best parts about snow. But yeah, unless sunday is like 60 degrees there, monday probably won't be the most pleasant.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-23T15:21:37-05:00
Zem, where I go fishing, we usually see tons of turtles sunning themselves. Usually there's some stumps that have only one turtle on them. Someone always says that they aren't turtle enough for the turtle club.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-23T15:44:59-05:00
Haha, Trinkets! That's amazing! I actually laughed out loud thinking about that one.
You guys!!! My shelters were buried in the snow when I got home! I cleared them out. One kItty was trapped and got out. I don't know where the rest of the babies are. :( I know cats are smart- please remind me? I'm getting emotional.
I just stood in the kitchen and cried. They can't even make it to the shelters. Snow is too high. I shoveled a path, but it's nearly covered again already. Ohhhh babies. I hope they're somewhere safe.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-23T17:25:54-05:00
Maybe it's just that, all our cats having been outside, I'm used to them going off on ventures and then finding their way back easily within a month unharmed. Heck, we had one cat that went to live at a friend's house and came back to visit us once or twice a year. They should find a way back no problem. If they were already comfortable with the shelters and you leave those cleared out, accessible, and stocked with food, they'll find their way back for sure.
I know. You're right. Cats are smart. They'll figure it out. One kitty was shocked and i'm so happy i saved her. I'm sure half of them are under the picnic table (it's an 8-seater table with a big cover over it, to the ground)- I had put a huge bowl full of food underneath last night...I cleared a path for them this afternoon. But..oh my heart.... i just hate knowing they're out there. Snow keeps falling. These poor babies. I know i cant save them all. but for some of them - this is their first winter/first snow... and it's not that cold - and i know snow insulates.. but i'm just heartsick thinking about them.
I also keep holding leo up to the window and saying "do you know how lucky you are?!?!?!"
Tasha Turner Lennhoff 2016-01-23T18:34:21-05:00
Snugs Creeper. I'd be right there with you freaking out while intellectually knowing the cats are ok. May they come to the shelters soon to reassure you.
Thanks for that! My intellect and emotions are battling. Even now as I look out and see the snow still piling. I saved one trapped kitty and feel good. I just hope these other babies found somewhere safe.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-23T19:00:18-05:00
Well especially if the young ones have at least one older one to keep them from being obnoxious teenagers and having snowball fights or whatnot, they should be fine. Do they usually explore the surrounding properties or just stay in that yard? Because either way, the likelihood they would go far off is even lower now. It's not like they migrated or something.
Also, very important though I'm sure you know this, it's just my point of worry as compared to them being absent, don't forget to put out room temperature water. Everything is frozen, so that's the hardest for them to find. Not hot because it'll burn their mouths, but make sure to do that and change it every once in awhile if it freezes.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-23T20:51:54-05:00
Creeper, the annual snowfall in Norway is about 100". Vikings kept cats around because they got rid of mice and other vermin. If cats can survive vikings and 100" of snow a year, they'll be puuurrrfectly fine :-)

Also, welcome back Explaitten. Good to see you again. The app announcement has brought back quite a few of the Corps.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-23T21:16:52-05:00
To be fair, though, Trinkets, their cats looked more like this: http://www.catswallpapers.net/wallpapers/fluffy-norwegian-forest-cat-photo.jpg Big, thick coats on huge, awesome cats. Though they probably had regular ones there as well. I just love norwegian forest cats and maine coon cats. Are they named that because they're big enough to hunt and eat raccoons? ;)
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-23T23:28:47-05:00
Yes, Zem. Cats survive. There are TONS of cats throughout Wisconsin and other northern states that get tons of snow and brutally cold winters and they survive just fine.
My Stella, before we rescues her, had a litter of kittens, broken hip and frostbit ears and tail. All before she was one year old. That's A LOT for a cat to endure. 8 years later, she is a little fat ball of happy kitteh.
But that's my point. Cats survive harsh conditions s all the time and Creeper shouldn't worry about the backyard kittehs. They will be just fine.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-23T23:30:50-05:00

Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-23T23:43:46-05:00
There are a bunch of cats on campus that've been here for years. They don't really care, but if they had a nice shelter built by a loving human, then they'd definitely stay there.
Good idea! Warm shelters! Put a space heater in them! Especially if they're wood; that's really good at insulating!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-24T00:03:30-05:00
I hope you are kidding about space heaters. They are dangerous.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-24T00:04:31-05:00
I would have thought the addition of wood after that would have been a tipoff of sarcasm.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-24T00:05:07-05:00
I mean, it'd still keep them warm. And they could roast marshmallows!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-24T03:23:14-05:00
Morning kittens.
I would have been on here earlier but was on the phone with a friend talking for 16 hours straight
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-24T03:24:33-05:00
On the phone for 16 hours? Doesn't sound ideal to me. Also, technically morning.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-24T07:03:11-05:00
Good morning, all. And this would be actual, not technical morning.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-24T07:07:05-05:00
Speaking of morning, has anyone ever watched any of the Good Mythical Morning series on youtube? I have watched a few of their shows. I found them funny. Here's one where they eat the hottest pepper in the world.

Just got done eating a huge breakfast and have a nice variety sixer of in state beers sitting in the fridge.
How your situation out there, Geist.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-24T10:35:14-05:00
I made the slow cooker chicken, kale & quinoa soup. Man, is it GOOD! I left out the beans and added corn and broccoli with double the amount of Quinoa so that it turned into a stew.
My apartment smells so wonderful hours later. I will make this soup again as soon as most of this snow leaves the area.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-24T11:54:45-05:00
I have plans to build a kitteh house. It will have a ceramic heat emitter hooked up to a thermostat in it. The walls will be insulated.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-24T11:58:44-05:00
Hi guys! Thanks so much for the reinforcement and encouragement. Worried all night. The snow is SO DEEP! Worried about more buried kitties (if you missed it- I uncovered one trapped in a shelter). This morning I woke up and saw paw prints in the snow- so yay!! Then I saw lil'fluff- the smallest kitty- navigating her way on top of the snow. Kinda bouncing through the path I made yesterday afternoon.
Also had my upstairs neighbors (the ones sharing their wifi with me) convince me to walk in the blizzard last night to a hidden dive bar that was sooo Much fun and so cheap!! Then we ended up dancing in the middle of 2nd avenue because there's never a chance to do that on a regular day.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-24T14:06:49-05:00
That's so good to hear, Creeper!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-24T14:46:32-05:00
Great news Creeper! I am too far away from any clubs and I am still under snow
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-24T14:47:08-05:00
And I got my own bar in the apartment
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-24T15:15:18-05:00
Trinkets, I've watched GMM every day now with lunch for the past 2 1/2 years.
`
That's great news, Creeper! Oh, out of curiosity, where has the one you found first been staying? That same shelter?

@BaKhan: I know it's an old and tired debate. That's just my own personal view. And I'm with LZ for one of the reasons, the price. I find Android is cheaper. Also, I don't like the Apple operating system. Just doesn't work so well for me. I don't try to change anyone's views, as that is what they like. I will razz people about it, but that's as far as I go.
I do think the app should work for people playing on both platforms together. I'm pretty sure I've played games with my brother and mom, who have iPhones, with my Android.

Very true.
I also think there should be special avatars for the Corps.
@GM, thats been my point all along. Its just like a preferance in anything, you like what you like. It is a personal choice. I won't pretend to be an expert on this stuff, all I know is my phone, computer, tablet, etc., do what I want them to, how I want them to, everytime I need them to, and on my previous platform of choice, they didn't. Also, my phone hasn't cost me a thing in the last three generations, Telus offers a program called T-up and everytime there is an upgrade, I get it for free, all I have to do is give them my old phone in good/resellable condition. So I just take it to apple, use my applecare to get a brand new one, take it in, and trade it up. Zero cost.
@LZ, well they have a bacon avatar, so that works for me! ;)
@BaKhan: Yeah, I can never get the iOS to do what I want it to, so I leave it to those that enjoy it, and get confused when my parents ask me for help with theirs.
Also, is there a mountain avatar? That would be perfect for me.
@Trinkets: You had to ask? I purchased a bottle of apple flavored Crown Royal Wednesday. I got enough food to last me a week.
I plan on spending this time getting my apartment organized well ahead of spring
Re: Apple phones
I already have two Apple products (ipad & ipod). I refuse to have 3. Plus, a phone shouldn't cost as much as rent. They are also highly attractive to thieves who like to snatched them from your hand when you are distracted.
I like my Samsung Core Prime phone. Other than the cappy camera, I am well satisfied with it.
Sorry I haven't been on earlier today. Like a dummy, I volunteered to bring a laptop home so I can work if anyone needed me. I hope this saves me from having to use my vacation leave.

I also have 2 Apple products(which I wish I didn't, but there isn't a better MP3 player that I can use) being an iPod, and iPad(had to get it for school, and haven't touched it since....planning on factory resetting and selling it).
I really wish people would learn what I do.
Yay! My boss agreed to let me go home at noon. Only a half day today.
Congratulations GM!
@LZ: if that happened, the company might think they didn't need you
The snow is finally falling in my area. Time for a drink.
@Geist: I meant that I wish they would learn what my job is, not necessarily everything I do while at work ;-)
@LZ: I think if people knew exactly what I do at work, their heads would explode. There is so much more to my day than what they normally see.
But my laptop is neither and it was relatively cheap for its capabilities, mostly since it's custom. Even if I liked apple, I couldn't get a macbook or anything because I need what a gaming pc can offer. Besides, anyone who works with computers knows Apple is the spoiled rich kid who doesn't get along with any of the other children. It works perfect with other apple products, but if you need anything across platforms, avoid apple at all costs. It is a tired debate by now, though.

What if, especially if they made an internet version, you could upload an avatar? Then we could all use these ones there! At the least, they could make an operable internet version for the Corps. Maybe then we'd have some of those lamented come crawling back.
I see how it is. I come in and you all have somewhere else to be. Maybe I'll just call up our old pal ProF and go streaking again! Is that what you want?! Nobody wants that!
Saw two people jogging in the snow before the big snow fall. Got some more cleaning done and now that I got some food in my belly and a drink by my side, it is time to chill. I think I will watch a few of the DVDs that I purchased from the used bookstore.
Boondock Saints is what I'll start with first and then watch the first season of Flight of the Conchords
I'm just going to sit in this chair and do nothing for a full weekend. My ideal life.
I love it when Excel programs that I write work the way I want them to.
That's what they're supposed to do.
Now if this were code we were talking about...
Yes, Zem, it's a mixture of code, formulae, and conditional formatting.
Hey KCers long time no stop by. Explaintten here (removed it from my name as it was confusing creators. I've now backed over 1,400 Kickstarters). I'd like to say I'm surprised by all the Android complainers but...
I would have titled the update iOS app and mentioned Android app is in the works. There still would have been just as many complainers. Some of them would have had to reword their complaint though.
Hey has anyone asked about when they'll be a Windows phone version other than on the update itself. Windows phone users always get screwed. ;)
How come no one ever thinks about the fact that iOS users are like Guinea Pigs - we usually get the apps before they are ready for real time.
That because they didn't have an Explanitten to help them write that last update... ;) Good to see you!
Hi, Explaitten! This app is bringing back all sorts of familiar faces!
Now all we need to do is get Cheetah butt back here. I worry about him

Booze and Flight of the Conchords......BEST SNOW DAY EVER!!!!!!!
Think I'll make popcorn and watch a Marx Brothers movie. That's always a great choice!
Hey, we could do an online game of CAH. Anyone up?
Exploding Kittens. Hrmm. I think we need to graduate to Fish ...Battling to the Death!

From one backer to a lot of others, I welcome you to come check it out and support us if you can:

...and we're even releasing a FREE app for ANDROID this week. ...I'm just saying.
Yet again? Well, he didn't take our advice nor learn from the android crybabies that nobody reads the comments but we 5 or so, but still, 3 times in a few days? This is getting annoying.
Oh great. More spamming.
Well, two can play that game
Not here, hopefully.
You two play nice now. And would you like to have a CAH game? We should find an evening it works for most of us and play a game online.
You guyyyyysssss!!! Our dice maker was wrong about the ancient designs! http://www.cnet.com/news/ancient-d20-die-emerges-from-the-ashes-of-time/
Still waiting for snow in NY
@BaKhan that "explains" it. Good to see you too.
@Zem yep the app sure is.
@John Wrot! You do know it's against KS policy to post about your project on another campaigns comments? It also rarely works and is considered rude by most backers. I've not been here in a bit, I know you from your other projects and it's enough to take me from "considering backing" to "no way".
Hey Creeper sorry you haven't had snow yet. We had a dusting this week. Predictions for tomorrow here in NJ are a foot. I'm so glad someone else does the shoveling and cleans off my car.
Sklorz wasn't telling the truth? WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I don't believe you!
You lucky easterners. We only got a few inches. I'll take any snow you don't want. And out here it won't disturb anyone. We can take alot without traffic problems like large cities have and plenty of space to throw it if it becomes too much.
So wait, all these people here on a friday night and not even recognition to my CAH game online idea? Would you guys want to play Cards Against Humanity together? I guess it's starting to get a bit late now, but it'd be a ton of fun. We only need 3 people to start.
How is it that NY hasn't been hit buy D.C. is now under a snowy blanket? To top it off, the snow isn't expected to stop until Sunday
Geist, stahp! You have no idea how jealous I am! It may be a major and dangerous inconvenience there, but here it wouldn't be nearly so bad, and maybe even welcome! Definitely wecomed by me! Paltry few inches. It used to be the midwest got feet and the east coast got several inches. Now, 2 years in a row, I've had only about 1 foot total each year (at least I hope it'll top off to that much or even more), and the east has had major blizzards.
The snow has begun.
Hello explaitten! Lovely seeing you here (as well as other campaigns!).
Geist- NYC is supposed to get 12-18 inches. Leo's first snow!
Aah! Eugh! That new cover of Mad World by Gary Jules or some such came on. It's not that bad, actually, just that it makes me think of the original by Tears for Fears, which makes me think of how amazing that song was, which makes me compare them, which makes me almost gag because the new one somehow overshadowed the original, which makes me skip that one and go to youtube to find the original to get it out of my head.
Even more gah! Stahp! It's just like flaunting snow in front of my face! Next you'll be saying it'll be below freezing! Some people have all the luck and then don't appreciate it.
Leo will probably love the snow though! You should have acquainted him with the outside area before so that now he'd see how different it is and whatever that stuff is.
I love snow. But not when I have to wake up and commute in it. If the subways are running, I'm expected to show. But I have a 15 minute walk to the train
Meh, once the shivering is gone, it feels fine. Maybe one minute of discomfort and then I may be alone, but I actually love the feeling of freezing cold air on my face. Yeah, I'm probably alone there.
I'm only worried for all the drivers. Crowds + rush hour + extra slow cautious drivers*people who get road rage in slow, heavy traffic (like me) + ice and other road conditions + people not used to driving in snow and ice + danger of driving cars in the first place (constant) = not a good sign for the times to come. There've already been plenty of crashes, which only impedes things more. That's why it'd be better here: divide that sum by we're all used to it*experience + wide open spaces for it to fall and not disturb anyone.
And here you thought you were done with math like this!
What? Nobody on here at 5 am central? What's wrong with you guys? Not turtle enough for the turtle club?
Morning kittens. I wake up to a foot of snow and the city at a stand still.
My only question now is whether or not I will be able to get to work on Monday. (I'm hoping "no" since I have the work laptop)
Not turtle enough for the turtle club?
Lol, Zem. I've only seen a few minutes of Master of Disguise, but my friends and I quote the heck out of it. I use that turtle line all the time.
Good morning Geist. Glad to see you are surviving Snowmageddon 2016.
One fish. Two fish.
Hey, PACG! Lots of familiar faces coming out of nowhere these past few days! Just when we were lamenting the disappearances!
`
Trinkets, I haven't seen it in forever, but it was a funny movie with tons of quotes. Plus, the Turtle Club one is perfect anywhere!
`
Geist, I wouldn't worry. You got your food, shelter, and zombie-hunting materials, and most importantly, your apple captain morgan's. Sitting inside occasionally looking out to the piles of nothingness is one of the best parts about snow. But yeah, unless sunday is like 60 degrees there, monday probably won't be the most pleasant.
Zem, where I go fishing, we usually see tons of turtles sunning themselves. Usually there's some stumps that have only one turtle on them. Someone always says that they aren't turtle enough for the turtle club.
Haha, Trinkets! That's amazing! I actually laughed out loud thinking about that one.
You guys!!! My shelters were buried in the snow when I got home! I cleared them out. One kItty was trapped and got out. I don't know where the rest of the babies are. :( I know cats are smart- please remind me? I'm getting emotional.
I am not built to be a backyard kitty caretaker!!!! I am worried sick!
Just clear them out and leave food in the shelters and they'll be back soon. Cats do like a home base, especially one with food.
I just stood in the kitchen and cried. They can't even make it to the shelters. Snow is too high. I shoveled a path, but it's nearly covered again already. Ohhhh babies. I hope they're somewhere safe.
Maybe it's just that, all our cats having been outside, I'm used to them going off on ventures and then finding their way back easily within a month unharmed. Heck, we had one cat that went to live at a friend's house and came back to visit us once or twice a year. They should find a way back no problem. If they were already comfortable with the shelters and you leave those cleared out, accessible, and stocked with food, they'll find their way back for sure.
I know. You're right. Cats are smart. They'll figure it out. One kitty was shocked and i'm so happy i saved her. I'm sure half of them are under the picnic table (it's an 8-seater table with a big cover over it, to the ground)- I had put a huge bowl full of food underneath last night...I cleared a path for them this afternoon. But..oh my heart.... i just hate knowing they're out there. Snow keeps falling. These poor babies. I know i cant save them all. but for some of them - this is their first winter/first snow... and it's not that cold - and i know snow insulates.. but i'm just heartsick thinking about them.
I also keep holding leo up to the window and saying "do you know how lucky you are?!?!?!"
Snugs Creeper. I'd be right there with you freaking out while intellectually knowing the cats are ok. May they come to the shelters soon to reassure you.
Thanks for that! My intellect and emotions are battling. Even now as I look out and see the snow still piling. I saved one trapped kitty and feel good. I just hope these other babies found somewhere safe.
Well especially if the young ones have at least one older one to keep them from being obnoxious teenagers and having snowball fights or whatnot, they should be fine. Do they usually explore the surrounding properties or just stay in that yard? Because either way, the likelihood they would go far off is even lower now. It's not like they migrated or something.
Also, very important though I'm sure you know this, it's just my point of worry as compared to them being absent, don't forget to put out room temperature water. Everything is frozen, so that's the hardest for them to find. Not hot because it'll burn their mouths, but make sure to do that and change it every once in awhile if it freezes.
Creeper, the annual snowfall in Norway is about 100". Vikings kept cats around because they got rid of mice and other vermin. If cats can survive vikings and 100" of snow a year, they'll be puuurrrfectly fine :-)

I AM BUILT to be a backyard kitty caretaker!!!! I am worried sick!
Fixed it for you :-)
Also, welcome back Explaitten. Good to see you again. The app announcement has brought back quite a few of the Corps.
To be fair, though, Trinkets, their cats looked more like this: http://www.catswallpapers.net/wallpapers/fluffy-norwegian-forest-cat-photo.jpg
Big, thick coats on huge, awesome cats. Though they probably had regular ones there as well. I just love norwegian forest cats and maine coon cats. Are they named that because they're big enough to hunt and eat raccoons? ;)
Yes, Zem. Cats survive. There are TONS of cats throughout Wisconsin and other northern states that get tons of snow and brutally cold winters and they survive just fine.
My Stella, before we rescues her, had a litter of kittens, broken hip and frostbit ears and tail. All before she was one year old. That's A LOT for a cat to endure. 8 years later, she is a little fat ball of happy kitteh.
But that's my point. Cats survive harsh conditions s all the time and Creeper shouldn't worry about the backyard kittehs. They will be just fine.
Stella is my avatar.
There are a bunch of cats on campus that've been here for years. They don't really care, but if they had a nice shelter built by a loving human, then they'd definitely stay there.
Good idea! Warm shelters! Put a space heater in them! Especially if they're wood; that's really good at insulating!
I hope you are kidding about space heaters. They are dangerous.
I would have thought the addition of wood after that would have been a tipoff of sarcasm.
I mean, it'd still keep them warm. And they could roast marshmallows!
Morning kittens.
I would have been on here earlier but was on the phone with a friend talking for 16 hours straight
On the phone for 16 hours? Doesn't sound ideal to me. Also, technically morning.
Good morning, all. And this would be actual, not technical morning.
Speaking of morning, has anyone ever watched any of the Good Mythical Morning series on youtube? I have watched a few of their shows. I found them funny. Here's one where they eat the hottest pepper in the world.

Trinkets! How is your booze and food holding up?
Just got done eating a huge breakfast and have a nice variety sixer of in state beers sitting in the fridge.
How your situation out there, Geist.
I made the slow cooker chicken, kale & quinoa soup. Man, is it GOOD! I left out the beans and added corn and broccoli with double the amount of Quinoa so that it turned into a stew.
My apartment smells so wonderful hours later. I will make this soup again as soon as most of this snow leaves the area.
I have plans to build a kitteh house. It will have a ceramic heat emitter hooked up to a thermostat in it. The walls will be insulated.
@LZ: will there be a milk bar in it?
@Geist: That's a great idea!
Hi guys! Thanks so much for the reinforcement and encouragement. Worried all night. The snow is SO DEEP! Worried about more buried kitties (if you missed it- I uncovered one trapped in a shelter). This morning I woke up and saw paw prints in the snow- so yay!! Then I saw lil'fluff- the smallest kitty- navigating her way on top of the snow. Kinda bouncing through the path I made yesterday afternoon.
Also had my upstairs neighbors (the ones sharing their wifi with me) convince me to walk in the blizzard last night to a hidden dive bar that was sooo Much fun and so cheap!! Then we ended up dancing in the middle of 2nd avenue because there's never a chance to do that on a regular day.
That's so good to hear, Creeper!
Great news Creeper! I am too far away from any clubs and I am still under snow
And I got my own bar in the apartment
Trinkets, I've watched GMM every day now with lunch for the past 2 1/2 years.
`
That's great news, Creeper! Oh, out of curiosity, where has the one you found first been staying? That same shelter?
Hello to the Kittens! :) I see we passed 100k comments. lol
I thought I'd make sure people know about a project that's going on now that needs a lot more people. Do you like sci-fi sandbox games? This one looks promising/cool:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2043603103/planet-nomads/description
Well, every weekday when they made them. During weekends and between seasons I just don't know what to do with my food! Without them, it's just food!
Hey, Chameleon! Long time no see!
Hi Micah. :)
