Interesting how 30 degrees in October is "cold" but then 30 degrees in January is a "really nice day."
A couple of years ago, the local paper, the Fargo Forum printed a little article on how the perception of cold weather depends on where you live in the USA. Here is an exerpt:
"While Today" show hosts discuss the "brutal" cold in the Big Apple when it hits 10 degrees, people in North Dakota are shrugging their shoulders and muttering 'They don't know the meaning of brutal.'

To the world you are just one person, but to one person you are the world.
I am going to Mexico on February 20th - and I hate to wish time away, but.....it IS warmer there. I also am going to Palm Springs, CA the end of March for work, so at least I will have a little bit of a break from winter.
Have no fear, typically when I go somewhere warm, it warms up here!
Stay warm everyone.

Pick your state and the closet city......Many people lurk on there and maybe you'll draw some attention.
I grew up in Streeter, ND and my dad currently LIves in Jamestown............
So - I still have some connections in ND.............if you all get bored............come and ready the Texas Message Board.............we are a very active and friendly group.............
- Pease check out Dr. Connie Stapleton's Website. A lot of good information on there for all WLS patients regardless of the surgery you chose. Good luck to all and I'm here for you if you want to send me an email. I'll answer it as soon as possible.
- Total Lost: 139 lbs
- Current Weight: 263
- As of 11-10-13 I have had weight gain. Not happy about that.
- RNY: 10-16-07 = 338: Highest weight: 350+ Lowest Weight: 199
Yes, group is back downtown. The time has changed. It will now be from 630-730. Each month there will be a speaker of some sort. We can carry on after that hour but will have to move up to the fireplace area upstairs. We will be on our own at that point. Some ways that all sounds ok and a bit more structured but still maybe not right. Who knows, time will tell.
Jan27th- 630-730 Auditorium. I don't remember who the speaker is
Feb 24th- 630-730 Auditorium. Dr. Howell
March 31-630-730 Auditorium. Sports Medicine
That's the list so far LOL

I don't think I will get there next month, as I will be gone the last week of February, and the last week of March. I really will try to get to this one.
Hope you are doing well. Your "video" is amazing! You were smart to have pictures of all of that stuff. I have one too, but not as good as yours.

Hey Tinkerbell025!!!
I would have to get back to North Dakota for one of the heaviest snow winters in years...I feel so blessed!!! LOL. Actually I don't mind it too much...it's just being stuck at home so much. But I am applying at the Ann Carlsen Center here in Jamestown. That will force me to get out and about!!!
And yes...I just finnished the 5daypouchtest. I was so happy to find out that my pouch wasn't ruined! It only holds a cup to cup and a half! And I have already lost 8 pounds...but got a long way to go!!! Sure is nice to have so much support this time!!!
Thanks so much...Linda
