Syrin of Neopia Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 This was about five or so years ago. From what I understand, all the schools in that area just decided to start later to avoid heat issues. Where I'm at now, the high school and all the lower grades just have half days or early dismal days for the first two weeks, also because of the heat. Also, to the 40+ guests reading: Join TDN! What have you got to lose? Quote
The Score in Blue Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Yes to the above! Wow... we've actually never had severe heat problems. Here, it's usually just cold and the highest ever temperature was like 25C (degrees) Quote
Spritzie Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Also, to the 40+ guests reading: Join TDN! What have you got to lose? Yes! We've been having a lot of guests on this board. They definitely need to join us. :yes: Quote
Syrin of Neopia Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 I find it interesting that guests like reading about the weather (as we're discussing at the moment) Quote
Spritzie Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 But I find the weather fascinating! There's even a TDN law named after me that has to do with weather: Spritzie's Law This law takes effect when weather is mentioned and it spreads into a full blown topic. The primary way of starting this conversation is when someone (usually Spritzie) talks about how cold it is in the area, and then rants about it. Another person discusses the weather in their area, and it repeats until it becomes the main discussion. Quote
Mr. X Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 For the love of god, what is wrong with my school. Today: Fight nearly breaks out; is only avoided by the other guy staying on the school bus. The challenger is your stereotypical wannabe ghetto gangster black guy. The other guy is a small black boy who's scared out of his wits by this confrontation. The apparent reason the wanna-be wants to fight the smaller guy is because he's asking his out sister out and one of my bus-friends is being stressed out by an overload of school work 4 projects Lots of homework LONG HOMEWORK (ex: his pre-calc homework is usually at least 50 problems long) said projects are all due on Friday Dang it life, I was just about to start being an optimist again Quote
Sweetdang Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Awwh. :( OMIGOSH, GOOGLE IS STALKING US. All the best with school and everything. It doesn't make life much better but it's good, right? :laughingsmiley: We had LAMDA examinations, and we were told to ask the examiner about the weather, like Me: Good morning! Examiner: Good morning is your name (so-and-so)? Me: Yes. Examiner: Please take a seat. Me: Thank you, so, how are you finding Singapore weather? *insert polite smiley face* Apparently, British people can "talk about the weather all day"! Quote
Lady Lyuba Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 And while the rest of the country has to deal with extreme heat, my part of the woods doesn't. It hardly gets above 90 degrees in the summer, and when it does, it's rare. Quote
Sakabato Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Apparently, the weather here is typically clear, but sometimes with occasional, loud rain. Quote
Sweetdang Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Let's talk about.... NOT THE WEATHER. Seen any good movies? I just watched Johnny English Reborn (Hilarious) and Dolphin Tale. Sweet, but not really worth the money. Quote
Spritzie Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Come on! That's one of the laws of TDN. The conversation will eventually, when you might least expect it, get back to either food, or weather. Quote
Neo_Girl Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 lol! How about we talk about food for a change of weather, then? [/bad joke] xD Quote
Spritzie Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 :laughingsmiley: Well said. But it's too early (8:30 am here) for a food discussion. Quote
Neo_Girl Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Well, I believe that it's never too early (or too late) to talk about food! :yes: But then again, it's perfectly normal for me to eat popcorn in the morning... Quote
Spritzie Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I'm stuck at work and I didn't have time to have breakfast before I left. All I have is a bag of potato chips in my desk drawer. Quote
Sweetdang Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Oh deer. Speaking of that, I HATE venison. Quote
Neo_Girl Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Aw, wish I could send you some breakfast, Spritzie! But it's 10:56pm here, so all I have is dinner... which I haven't had yet. I liked venison as a kid, that is until I knew what it is. Quote
Spritzie Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 It doesn't sound particularly appetizing to me. I prefer chicken. :P Quote
Sweetdang Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Naw, it just doesn't taste right. I like BEEF best, though. :) Quote
Spritzie Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I love steak, but I'm not big on beef otherwise. I'd rather have chicken sandwich, than a burger. Quote
Neo_Girl Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 It doesn't matter how bad/good it tasted, my favorite Disney movie of all time is Bambi, so I felt awful when I found out. :sad01_anim: I know it's just a movie, but still, lol! My favorite is chicken too, I find it the easiest type of meat to cook! 10 minutes on the pan and done! XD Quote
Sweetdang Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Naw but I eat too much Chicken too enjoy it much. It's nice, though. :) I like fish, too! Codddd <3 Quote
Wembly Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Of course the topic is food when I stop by this thread :rolleyes_anim: especially when I am quite hungry. I guess I should go try to scrounge up some food. I wonder if I'll find anything appetizing to me, here's to hoping. Quote
Spritzie Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 :laughingsmiley: I know the feeling. The food topics seem to come up when 1: I just get to work and I'm hungry or 2: I'm a couple hours from getting off work and I'm hungry Quote
-Ryan Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I vote we talk about squirrel food. Its the best kind. :3 Quote
