Oh yeah. We get some pretty nasty winters. And the desert part of Texas is more of the southwest.

Huh, goes to show things are not always as you think. XD My real mom teases me about the temperature where she's at because she's in a dessert portion of Arizona. .-.

Yeah. We have a lot of small artificial lakes here, but it's rare to see desert anymore. Most of it is colonized except for the north east. That's where all of the real country is at.

Interesting, I've talked to someone from Texas before, but they never really mention the temperature. x'D

Usually it's unbearable, but not like Alaska unbearable.

o.o;
Remind me never to move where you live, I hate being cold. ^^;

Lol. I hate being insanely hot. I'm very fair skinned so I burn easily. Like, white pale.

Oh, I burn easily too, but I have poor blood circulation and take a while to warm back up. ^^; At one point my mom accused me of 'emitting' cold air because it had been several minutes after coming in and I was still REALLY cold. x'D

Yikes! I've wondered if I was anemic, but I eat lots of meat so it doesn't seem to be a problem yet.

I eat plenty of meat. >>; It runs in my family, my grandmother had the same problem.

Haha, I'm more for chicken, cow, and deer meat than anything else. Rabbit and pork just aren't my thing, not sure why. Unless it's sausage. I like that type of thing.

Oh! Deer meat! :D I love that stuff, my mom hates it though. x'D She's always trying to make it taste like beef. x'D

My dad caught a doe last night. By morning they had her all cut up and in a cooler, and we're using the fur for... Something. Not sure what it is yet. But it is really good fried!

Deer jerky? OWO I'd love to try some of that! XD And I've never had it fried before. :o

Deer jerky is pretty awesome!

-attacks ginger- GIVE DK SOME!

I was suppose to get some for Xmas but they never brought us our presents ;-;

Poor DK! That wasn't very nice, more so because they said they had something for you. =(

So yea.. they just brought our presents.. and NO DEER MEAT AT ALL!.. they LIED to me D8 I was looking forward to Deer Jerky and Deer Chili.. I was gonna make Chili with it! ;-;

-starves-

Aw poor DK! D: Tell them next time they better bring the meat or they get nothin' from you. XD

At the moment.. i find i want NOTHING from them ._.

they are badly infested with bed bugs it seems...

-shudders-

o.o;
That's not good...

ever since they told us about it, i keep feeling itchy even though there is no bug bites.. the thought remains ;-;

Check under cushions and mattresses, they like to hide under those and if you see black stuff there you've got bed bugs because those are the eggs.

I've never actually had bed bugs, but I know people who have. ^^;

The thought of bed bugs/lice/fleas makes me paranoid. They're all a pain to get rid of, and cost money to fully eradicate them from living quarters.

As for the deer jerky, it's all gone. But I'm gonna see if they can send us some more the next time they get a deer.

Deer jerky is incredible. What really bugs me though is that our dogs have fleas and they're gross. Ew.
I had head lice in 2nd grade I think. It was really scary. I thought I had a disease, lol.

My nieces came over one time and had lice and we didn't know it, and gave it to me. My mom blamed me for giving it to them when I didn't have any, and my step sister admitted latter that her kids had it first.

God why the heck do people lie about stuff like that? I mean I'd tell the truth if it were my kids, jeez.

She didn't lie, my mom just assumed it was me without even asking my stepsister. ^^; That's how my mom is. Anytime something is not done that should have been I get blamed for it even if I wasn't the one who was supposed to do it.

Yikes... I just stay out of drama at my house. If I try to help, the person accused is automatically innocent. -_-'

Well, its mostly because my mom is a sexist and things I'll amount to nothing more than a housewife when I have a B.A. in Mathematics and working on becoming an accountant, which are in high demand in this area. =.=;

Lol. It makes me mad when people do that. It's like, I am learning. Calm down. I am going to work and do something awesome, and I will prove just because I am a female that I will not become a freaking housewife who does nothing but take care of the kids and clean the house. THERE WILL BE MORE TO MY LIFE THAN THAT! I actually believe I would die of boredom if I had to be one.

My mom doesn't clean the house, I do. .-. And she's the house wife...

I know that feel. XD I clean up after three siblings and when it's the kitchen with a small sink and a small radius it's unbearable. Our cups cabinet is overflowing, that's how bad it is. :p-dead:

My mom always tells us to use a basin she put in the sink and to use water in that to clean the dishes. But when there's food particulars floating in the water I don't want to use it. x.X

Q-Q I have to clean but i don't want to...

I like cleaning when my mom is not home, when she's home its a pain to clean because she's always complaining about how I do it. =.=;

ouo come be my maid?

As long as no one complains about how I clean then I totally wouldn't mind. XD Heck, I'd even clean the dishes if you didn't gripe about how I did them, and I don't like doing dishes. x'D

I'm wondering if this charity is still going on?... ll'D
