I'm freezing in my college room....

[slinkerwink]

the wind came through the cracks of the window last night....BRRR....

I swear my nipples are so hard now they could cut diamonds. Ouch. I really hate wintertime. I'm going to put on three layers of clothing this morning before I head off to class.

[bicentennial_baby]

1. Ah New England

I feel your pain, believe me. I have an 8am Chem lab next semester, starting in January. If it make ya feel any better, I'd bet it's a couple degrees colder up here than it is in Noho. Brrrrr!

[slinkerwink]

4. Oh, what happened to summer?

How did it pass by so fast? *whimpers*

[MissMillie]

2. Have you considered

caulking the window, or sealing it in plastic?

[slinkerwink]

5. I'm considering buying one of those window-sealing kits

:hi:

[Braden]

11. don't consider it, do it!

I am in eastern mass and the 3M kit keeps the house a little warmer but completely kills the drafts.

[slinkerwink]

12. where can you get the 3m kit?

please, please, let me know?

::shivers::

[mac56]

14. Most any hardware store worth its salt has them.

You may even find them at Target.

[Braden]

17. Home Depot

or any other home store. All you will need to set it up is a pair of scissors or a sharp knife, and a hair dryer.

they are $10.00 or so and its enough to cover 10 windows or so.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

3. What college are you at ?

My room was the smallest in the dorm . Right under the stair case . Never any quietness . No AC in the summer but the heater could not be turned down at all in the winter so I sweated the whole year . Damn dorms ... curse them all .

[slinkerwink]

6. Smith in Western MA

I agree with you about the dorms, but here at Smith, we call them houses.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

7. Houses-

a way to make them sound like they are bit more comfortable .

[slinkerwink]

9. but they're not with wind coming in....

I might as well take a hot shower.

[Nihil]

25. After your first note ...

... I think I need a cold one ...
:hi:

Apart from the obvious draught-proofing advice, try wearing
a layer of silk closest to your skin - seriously! - as it is
excellent at providing physical warmth, feels smooth against
your more sensitive extremities (*blush*) and improves your
emotional/mental feelings too (distracts your mind so you don't
notice the temperature as much).

A silk shirt under a woolly jumper is great for keeping the
body happy indoors or out!

Nihil

[slinkerwink]

41. thanks for the info!

I've been wearing white long-sleeved thermal shirts underneath a long-sleeved v-necked shirt or sweater with a sweatshirt on top or a jacket on top to stay warm.

I'm such a Texan, haha...

[DS1]

8. ahh, a Smith girl

those houses are ancient! rent a place with some friends off campus, it's the only way to go

[slinkerwink]

10. Don't have money for that

so I'm stuck in one of those houses.

[WoodrowFan]

58. I have a friend near there

I have a good buddy in West Hadley. He told me that a local joke had all the characters as students from the local colleges. let's see, was it Velma who came from Smith or Daphney?

[slinkerwink]

62. it was Velma.....it's never a hot girl that's from Smith in a cartoon....

Ha, Velma is from Smith....it goes to show that we're all mostly brunettes with square glasses at Smith. Unfortunately in my case, I fit the Velma stereotype. :-)

[WoodrowFan]

72. ok Velma is from Smith

Ok, you're VElma.

Then Fred is from Hampshire, Shaggy from Amherst, Daphne from Mt Holyoke, but where was Scooby from?

[slinkerwink]

76. well....

Scooby's from UMass and Daphne is from Mt.Holyoke, Smith's rival college...

[Loonman]

13. Builds character

Put on a sweater.

[slinkerwink]

15. I already have on one

:casts a baleful look:

This is MA. You need more than one sweater to go outside.

[THUNDER HANDS]

16. oooohhh

So that's how they cut diamonds?!?!?

I was always curious.

:)

[XNASA]

18. Is this just a woeful ruse?

I can't tell you the number of times I've been enticed by the old, "I'm cold. Can you come over and warm me up?" routine.

Your subterfuge won't work on me, missy.

;-)

[slinkerwink]

19. haha, no, it's not that....

it's the "please donate money to get me a sweater ruse"

;-)

[commander bunnypants]

20. Ski nekkid

?????


DDQM

[slinkerwink]

37. nope, I snowboard

Skiing's a total beeyotch for me to do...

[alwynsw]

21. Could you please post pictures?

Nipple diamond cutting...there's a picture etched into my mind.

[SiobhanClancy]

22. Yuck...

an unpleasant one,too:)

[alwynsw]

23. My wife could probobly do it

If they could find much larger diamonds. heh heh

[Aristus]

24. Have you no one to keep you warm, slink?

My wife and I LOVE winter for the opportunities it offers for getting nice and snuggly. Don't tell me you can't smuggle a guy into the dorm, either. I once spent the night in a girl's dorm at Rutger's University. Yes, with an invitation to do so! ;-) One of the more storied nights of my life. So go find a nice, young deserving liberal lad and keep warm at night! :evilgrin:

[slinkerwink]

34. I'm single, hence the problem to keep warm.....

hopefully that'll change as soon as my academics ease up on me. I spend way too many weekends studying.

[Aristus]

36. Good luck. Some lucky guy just doesn't know what he's in for.

:-)

[slinkerwink]

aww, thanks

you're really sweet

:pals:

[BiggJawn]

26. Wow....Now THAT'S some hard nippies!

The plastic window kit will soften things up a bit...
I have the steam main for the whole building right over my workbench. It's kind of nice in the winter...

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. My husband just bought one of those little ceramic plug in

heaters for his space at work. They have big cargo doors right by his machine. He got one for $6.99, and he says it keeps him slightly less freezing. :)

[YellowRubberDuckie]

28. I'm jealous, Slinker...

This place has radiator heating, and it's 85 throughout this whole place...I have my window open right now, but it's 54 here right now.
Duckie

[GOPisEvil]

29. Ugh! I went thought that in college too!

The administration turned on the heat and a/c depending on the CALENDAR, not the actual air temperature! x( I HATED that!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

47. They do it whenever the old women start calling the Physical plant...

Bitching that they're cold. They turn it on according to them, not according to the students. Plus, I'm a fat girl, and it pisses me off all these skinny people wear t shirts then bitch that they're cold. Eat a cheese burger and find a freaking sweater, dammit. I'd rather be cold than hot, but with my hypothyroidism, I'm always hot.
Duckie

[slinkerwink]

49. yeah, I should also call physical plant and....

play up on my deafness card, sound like a miserable girl, and hopefully they'll turn up the heat in my room.

[slinkerwink]

50. yeah....

I should call the phys plant also...

[YellowRubberDuckie]

59. How about I send you a blanket...

And you let the fat girls be cool, and you'll still be warm? LOL
Duckie

[slinkerwink]

65. haha, okay....

as long as it isn't a Mt. Holyoke blanket---damn you Holyoke girls!

arrrgh.....*winks*

[YellowRubberDuckie]

69. LOL

[grannylib]

30. Group hug to warm slinkerwink, ok??? no fun to be cold, brrrrr....

:grouphug:

[Aristus]

31. I'll second that.

:grouphug: slinkerwink.

[GOPisEvil]

32. Hey! That's MY ass, not hers!

Watch yer hands buddy! ;-)

:grouphug:

[Aristus]

33. Awful sorry, old buddy!

Okay, um....there! No......there! Um.........

[VelmaD]

42. If you can't tell the difference...

between his ass and mine then we've got real problems. ;-)

[Aristus]

43. Oh whew! Vel! It's you!

Nope, not her...........um, there!, no................there, no wait, I'll get it..................there! Um...................

[VelmaD]

45. So, what do you think...

are all those squats and lunges at the gym paying off? ;-)

[Aristus]

52. Hey, as long as it smacks nicely when it gets spanked.

:spank:

[VelmaD]

53. Woohoo...

the paddle's back out. :-)

But I'm not hearing any German. *pout*

[slinkerwink]

54. Ja!

Oh.....you make me so.......bad. :-P

[VelmaD]

61. Neato...

you're the first girl to volunteer for a turn. Hop in line. :-)

You do realize Aristus' blood pressure just went off the scale. He's probably unconscious and in need of mouth-to-mouth. ;-)

[slinkerwink]

66. hahaha....

::hops in line::

too bad I don't know CPR or else I could help Aristus out. :winks:

[Aristus]

63. Tut mir sehr leid, schatz!

Ich muss eine gute Junge bleiben.

Vel, you evil woman; I see through your sick, twisted plot. Adding slinkerwink to the already appealing temptation!

[VelmaD]

70. I didn't do it...

totally her idea. What can I say...my ass has powers beyond your comprehension. ;-)

[alwynsw]

57. Ass? Did someone say ass?

I want some!

[slinkerwink]

35. aww, thanks

:hug:

[hussar]

38. Did someone say hard nipples?

Ooooooh eeeeh aaaaaah

[slinkerwink]

39. I believe I did

Are you okay? Do you need medical aid? You seem rather excited about that.O8)

[hussar]

44. I think I'm okay

twas the thought, I'm off the floor now and sitting down....I'll be okay

[Aristus]

40. Down, boy!

Easy, easy!

[hussar]

46. Bloody sheltered life mate

can't help my self!

[Aristus]

48. Oh. then the words

'Silk stockings, garters, and nothing else' probably really drive you crazy!

Hussar? Hussar?

[hussar]

51. Thud

[soleft]

55. You clearly know how to win friends and influence people

[WoodrowFan]

56. I swear my nipples are so hard now they could cut diamonds

I think I saw that subject line on some SPAM this am!

[slinkerwink]

60. oh no! you caught me!

Sorry I sent you those breast-enlargement e-mail spam....I was only trying to make a honest buck...really.

:-)

[WoodrowFan]

75. that's ok

they're not half as insulting as the constant emails that suggest I need Viagria! Fortunatley the Mrs deletes those as well. If she forwarded them to my work email I'd worry!

[slinkerwink]

83. haha, that's a funny thought though....

Viagra.....even non-impotent men need it to supposedly "last longer"

I'm not sure if that's really needed.

[VelmaD]

85. Whatever happened...

to thinking about baseball or Winston Churchill nekkid or the other old standbys for lasting longer?

[WoodrowFan]

97. just turn 40-something

and you don't need tricks. It just takes longer naturally!

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

64. I don't believe the nipples part... PICTURES... we need proof

:evilgrin:

[slinkerwink]

67. tch, tch, I'm a nice girl....

nice girls don't take naked pictures, I believe....

O8)

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

74. LOL, I knew that... just checking to see if you were

still awake... you know that is the first sign of hypothermia.

[Aristus]

78. Nice girls don't take naked pictures......

they pose for them! :-)

[VelmaD]

79. Being naughty...

is much more fun. You get to do BOTH. :evilgrin:

[slinkerwink]

81. haha, I know!

My ex-boyfriend used to be shocked that I could look so innocent and yet do naughty things at the same time.

[VelmaD]

82. I'm SO in touch...

my first (and still favorite) ex from back in high school gets all amazed sometimes at the things I get up to. And I have to ask him "how can someone who had sex with me in broad daylight, under a bridge, across from a park, with kids riding by on their bicycles still think I'm this innocent little thing?" Sheesh. ;-)

[slinkerwink]

84. well, men are very easy to handle, no pun intended

My ex-boyfriend's still amazed about it----even after he's dated other women, he said that I was the best girlfriend and lover ever. He's kind of depressed now that he won't find anyone like me. It does good to a girl's ego....

[VelmaD]

86. Honey, men were put here...

to stroke our egos.

And the innocent looks do come in handy. Not that I'm encouraging you to abuse it or ever have myself or anything. :evilgrin:

[slinkerwink]

87. ::innocent look::

What?

I'm just an innocent girl......haha, I like to ask men if they can teach me how to do a few things that I already know myself because I know they get such a huge kick out of it. What they don't know won't hurt them.....yet ;-)

[VelmaD]

90. Yup...you lure 'em in...

with the innocent act and then *BLAM* they don't know what him 'em. And they're usually so stunned when you pull out the choke chain and the strap-on that they don't think to reist until it's too late. Bwahahahahaha

[slinkerwink]

92. haha, strap-ons I don't do with men....

but with women, yeah.....it's so much fun when men and women realize what you have in mind for them.

[VelmaD]

96. Expand your horizons...

or find more adventurous men or whatever. Nothing like the look on a straight boy's face when he realizes he's about to get it and he's probably gonna like it. :evilgrin:

[slinkerwink]

98. haha, I'm a bit of a square when it comes to that

but I have no problem with using a strap-on on women....maybe we should PM----this is getting really racy for the men on here, haha.

[GOPisEvil]

Yah...normally I would complain, but I've got the day off!

So...no complaints here. :evilgrin:

[VelmaD]

102. You do realize...

that by you chiming in now I have to be mortified (or at least pretend to be) the next time we have an Austin get-together.

[slinkerwink]

104. hahaha, GOP's planning a get-together in San Antonio and

I'm planning on going when I hit the ol' San Antone for Thanksgiving.

[GOPisEvil]

107. Oh my God...the two of you potentially in the same room.

I may have to charge admission. :evilgrin:

[VelmaD]

109. And bring a camera...

we could make a fortune from "DU Girls Gone Wild". ;-)

We could quit our crappy State jobs. Woohoo!

[GOPisEvil]

111. Yeah, baby! Woohoo!

OK - I have to tear myself away from this fun! Gotta buy mom's birthday present, and, um, food, too. :-)

Bye kids! Have fun! :hi:

[slinkerwink]

115. bye!

:hi:

[slinkerwink]

114. hahaha, I want to buy a Vespa

and live in a cute Victorian home in San Francisco----that's my dream....

[slinkerwink]

110. aww, how cute....so eager to see the two of us in the same room

::grins::

So, how's your day off coming along?

[VelmaD]

99. Oh, they love it...

You haven't heard any complaining yet have you. (Hell, you haven't heard a peep outta them - wonder what their hands are. ;-))

[slinkerwink]

101. hahaha, those men.....

so eager to be pleased!

[VelmaD]

105. Yup...guys are just too cute.

I'm blaming you for the fact that most of the boys around here have been blithering idiots for the last week or so. :eyes:

They're so adorable when they're hormonal. :-)

[slinkerwink]

108. aww, I apologize for making them hormonal

:pals:

[VelmaD]

113. Oh, it's ok.

It's fun to have the reminder sometimes that even the most egalitarian, feminist, liberal man can still be led around by the nether regions. :pals:

Not to mention it gives me something to tease them about.

[slinkerwink]

117. haha, yeah, when I show up at the Texas DU gathering...

you'll tease the men for falling all over themselves for someone like me ;-) And I'll just stand there, drink a Corona, and look like I swallowed a canary.

[VelmaD]

120. You will love coming to a Texas gathering...

we have tons of fun at the Austin meetups. And when we can get the gang from Houston and Dallas to show up too it gets a little rowdy.

[WoodrowFan]

116. For SW and Velma

BTW, SW< feel free to PM me more details about you and the other girl.


http://www.flowgo.com/flowgo2_view.cfm?page_id=60045

[VelmaD]

118. That was too damn funny

Thanks for sharing. *smooches*

[slinkerwink]

119. hahahaha, that's hilarious!!!

That made me laugh out loud.....

[WoodrowFan]

121. no problem

no problem, I'm here to entertain.

[WoodrowFan]

68. I think Magicrat

I think Magicrat is available to keep a young lady warm./.

[Zolok]

71. Whiskey will warm you up nicely....

that or an S.O. that knows how to keep their trap shut....
I say go with the whiskey, SURE it's early in the day to be dropping slammers, but hey it's cold and your in college.
:)


www.chimesatmidnight.blogspot.com

<Today in "Chimes at Midnight" yet another vicious attack on the policys and person of Massachusetts Governor Willard Mitt Romney>

[slinkerwink]

73. yep, I'm justified after all since I'm 21....

I'm planning to buy my dad a bottle of whiskey for his birthday so I'll share some with him when I get to see him for Thanksgiving!

[Aristus]

77. Okay, slink. You know what to do:

Bookmark this thread. If this doesn't keep you warm at night, nothing will. :-)

[slinkerwink]

80. it's already bookmarked

:-)

[PVnRT]

88. Burn a roommate's textbooks

She doesn't need them anyway, right? :evilgrin:

[slinkerwink]

89. I live in a single

The only books I'd be burning would be my own textbooks and I kinda really need them, lol.

[PVnRT]

91. Check out all the right-wing books in the school library

and then...well, you know what to do...

[slinkerwink]

94. there's no right-wing books in the library

I'm at a women's college, one of the most politically leftist campuses in America...

[PVnRT]

100. You're not helping here...

I guess you could always grab a freshman (is it freshman or freshwoman at a woman's college?) or two and use them as blankets, insulation, or fuel.

[slinkerwink]

103. a first-year

We're extremely politically correct here. We have "gender-safe" bathrooms....not to mention that the older women here are called "nontraditionally aged students"

[PVnRT]

106. Yikes

What in hell is a "gender-safe" bathroom? Is your gender safe when in there? I don't get it.

I am not trying to insult your school, but that just sounds bizarre.

[slinkerwink]

112. it's for the transgender students here

I still don't understand it, but apparently some transgender students have been beaten up when they go into men's bathrooms and have been jeered when they go into a women's bathroom.

There's a lot of heated discussion at Smith about this.

[FDRrocks]

93. Cut diamonds?

Oh man...haha.

[slinkerwink]

95. A diamond is a girl's best friend, right?

::does some cutting::

:P
