 | Thanks guys! We love the new place.
BTW, there's still a foot of snow here but the forecast is looking up as higher temps and subsequent melting is just around the corner. Worst winter I ever remember. WOW! |

 | Bill, there's a bit of moving happening worldwide. We're doing similar next month. I love the way your houses are built for the climate. Looks cosy! |

| | Bill, i'm beginning to realize why you have such long days in summer - you need a chance to enjoy what you're denied the rest of the year. Regarding moving, a temporary one or moving house?

| | Grant - today;s high will be 14F but I hear we will finally start to turn the corner sometime mid next week. BTW, we are due to get 2-4 inches of snow tomorrow evening making this winter the 2nd snowiest on record. UGH.
BTW, I'm moving this weekend and will be somewhat out of pocket. Take care all! |

| | Now the winter olympics have passed has the weather in the northern hemisphere begun to warm? Down south we look at March 1 as the start of autumn (fall) with a slight change in the temperature but still warm enough for an ocean dip. |

I know what you mean - my wife lives on a heating pad! |

| | Bill, as I said a while ago, Australia has more area of snowfields than Switzerland. I live a fair distance from them though and have a wife whose body thermometer seems to register any element of cold at a far greater rate than a male's. During some of our colder months, her side of the bed is like a sauna with doona firmly in place under a blazing electric blanket. |

| | Cubs, nice to hear from you. You always seem to be travelling!
Grant, I understand what you mean. However, is there even any snow in Australia? How could you have ever snowboarded without snow? As for us in SE Michigan, we have snow but no hills.
Lis, we're sorry for what you're going through but very happy to have you as one of our best players/authors at PeopleQuiz! I'm sure Dave will help you very soon. |

| | Dave, I sent you a few private messages about issues I was having with a quiz. Apparently, in the process of trying to resolve it myself, my computer duplicated the messages several times. Beats me how that happened. Anyway, when you get time to help me resolve the issue, I'd sure appreciate it. I know I can write the quiz over, but right now I'm in so much pain, I just want to break something. Sitting at the computer can take a toll on me sometimes. I don't type very fast. Thanks for your help. |

| | Cubs, a good choice! I've been told they're one of the smartest dogs you can get. Bill, excuse my obtuseness but I don't get the pun. Could you help lift the veil? Regarding the hockey, I was surprised one of your players had an unreasonable amount of pressure on him in the shoot-out having to take multiple attempts. He must be as cool as the surface on which he was playing.
While the hockey was good, the event I've enjoyed the most was the Bordercross. Watching those brave men and women sailing downhill on a snowboard at suicidal speeds made me realise there's a world I've missed. |

| | Quick "Howdy" from the great SW section of USA! My husband and I (and dog, Jilly - Aussie Cattle Dog, Grant) have been traveling in our trailer for a few weeks. We started in Arizona, and are heading to Las Vegas, then Death Valley, and finally north to home. Loving the 80 degree weather while back home they has snow/ice . . . does this make mw a bad person! HA HA No TV, so have not seen one minute of Olympics, which is a bit sad. Hope all are doing well. |

| | Grant, hockey is a great spectator sport and the US/Russia game was an excellent example. Although the outcome was a US win, it's not the way I'd like to see it unfold because I'm not a big fan of shootouts. It's not real hockey.
Shootouts started because there were so many games that ended up in a tie at the end of regulation. After 5 minutes of overtime playing four on four hockey, many games were still tied.
Personally, I'd like to see another 5-minute overtime playing three on three. Then two on two. Dare I say one on one?!
In the Stanley Cup playoffs, there are no shootouts; only overtime until "he double hockey sticks" freezes over. Pun intended! This is what I'd like to see in the Olympics because too much is on the line, namely Olympic medals and national pride. No Olympic shootouts, please!

| | Dave, I owe you an apology about (ice) hockey. Have just watched the US/Russia game and enjoyed it. I think the camera work was the key as it was easier to see what was happening up close. An exciting sport with a great level of skill! |

| | Dave, here we go again. Australia's first, and for a long time, only gold medal at a winter Olympics was won by Steven Bradbury who was in a skating final. The first four skaters engaged in their usual pushing and shoving with Bradbury trailing behind. On the final bend the four leaders brought themselves asunder in a tangle of arms, legs and skates, leaving a dazed Bradbury to sail across the finish line with a bemused, beaming smile. His name has gone into our vernacular with "doing a Bradbury" used to denote a flukey win one should really not have achieved. |
