    Ever notice when things are difficult that someone has to come along and say how they had it harder?

    uhhh......nope.

    we didn't have it that bad, back in my youth...

    sub-zero temps, wind chills, snow as high as our eyes, walking 35 miles to school, then to the grocery store, then to the animal feed store, then back home, to a small coal or wooden stove for heat.

    no electrical blankets, or space heaters, or propane tanks.

    no quartz heaters.

    nope, we never had it that bad way back in my day.

    i typed this up with all 4 of my remaining fingers too.....

    No big deal. Just the usual cold winter weather up here in Minnesota. It's not that bad and your not the only one.
