What do Northeasters do inside when these big snows come?
I'm thinking drink and boink (or vice versa)

12. That's proof in the pudding!
Wonder if I could get a grant to study the behavioral changes in humans that are brought on by snow.

I'll need to start looking for willing subjects :D

13. Knitting, cooking, eating, drinking in that order. I'm too old to boink!
We had an ice storm last week that knocked the power out. It's still out for me but I have a generator going. So in the last few days I have cleaned out all of my junk drawers, every other drawer, the pantry, my closet....Now it's snowing and we're due to get a foot and Sunday there is another storm coming. This is not shaping up to be a good winter.

25. Very descriptive and well said
I'm beginning to wonder if there is some sort of random knock on door system up there. There are the partnerless looking for boinkage. :P

37. I believe in getting right to the point
The random knock on door system might work...especially after a few days of snow and cold. Dress warm.
