Maybe the recent bitter cold forced them out of their caves?

Seems to be open TROLL season everywhere.   Not just here.  

Ah, I saw ours, and have dealt with the initial onslaught, as least for what I can do. Feel free, dear witch, to do what I’ve done.

Oh, dear… should I ask?

I don’t know how I’d handle truly cold weather.  The coldest winter day time temperature here is maybe 10C degrees, and even then I honestly can’t remember the last time it got down that low.  A 15C degree day is a bloody cold one to me.  So sub zero would probably freak me out.  It would be fun to experience, but probably for a few seconds only, and then I’d be awful keen to find a nice roaring fire nearby. lol

Honestly, this whole conversation is beginning to make me wonder whether Melrick will actually survive his first visit to a snowy, cold place  or if it will just be like, Melrick steps off the plane, gets all the way to the exit of the airport and then just goes, “Nope, fuck this shit, it’s too cold...” and then turns around and goes back home to Hell… ::cough, cough:: I meant, Australia… 

No, I’m saving those for Saturday, when 57F was mentioned on my weather widget. 

Yeah,I’m not a fan of high-handed moderation. We do leave a warning for disclaimers, or email about other issues, and unless it’s something potentially fraught (like missing tags which can be traumatic), we give 7 days before we hide. The we allow at least another 30 days, and to be honest, it’s often more like 45-60 days before we delete for noncompliance.
And if a member comes to us and says they’re trying to fix something, but are having issues, we help them.That’s part of the job, too. I’d rather spend time helping someone than warning anyway. And I love answering questions when people aren’t sure, but want to get it right. That’s never any trouble for me, at all. Best part of the job!

Oh, this wasn’t a jab to AFF! LOL I just reread the ToS of another site I was on and it specifically stated that they had the right to edit/modify story details to fit their guidelines. No warnings, no… nothing. I literally received a message from one of their story editors that my title was not capitalized correctly and they fixed it for me. I know, it’s a small and simple correction but it irked me. I remembered when my disclaimer wasn’t up to par and one of you told me. You didn’t fix it for me or automatically hide my story. 

We’ll even lend you a shoulder when you need it.  

Umm, you’ve always been fine here….

@BronxWench  Sorry, that banana’s too small to compare against anything.

In a short while, nothing, as it’s being devoured

But if all the bananas become bread what do you use to show scale in a picture of the bread?

Success.  At 1:48pm (eastern), one loaf of banana bread! 

Dear gods, Melrick. All my kidding aside, that’s just brutal.I saw the news via my Twitter feed, and I was immediately worried about you and your mum. As cold as it is here, I just add layers, but you simply can’t remove enough to get cool in those temperatures.
The unfortunate thing is governments often talk about heating or cooling centers, but they never work out how people are supposed to get to them in seriously dangerous weather, do they?

I haven’t found a viable alternative that would be affordable to buy as well as able to power for a minimum of 12 hours a day – and, now that I think about it, often 24 hours a day, for months – that doesn’t use electricity.  Ah well, we’ve survived extreme heat every year so far and we’ll survive this one.  I’m just counting down the days till autumn.

This article talks a bit about what I was talking about, regarding that reading of 57C, and more.  Both my mum and myself suffered from the early signs of heat stress – headaches and dizziness – but it didn’t get any worse, thankfully.  Tomorrow is only meant to be about 41C/105F, so… that’s good?

Dear gods, Melrick. Stay safe. That is just becoming ridiculous, really. 

Summer’s a great time to visit Australia!  There’s a 50/50 chance you won’t die of heat exhaustion!  Those are good odds, if you ask me.

Autumn is a pretty reasonable time to come over (well, I’m a bit south of BW).

You know that if I come in summer, I’ll be weeping and melting and hogging the air conditioner… and if I come in winter, I’ll be whining about the freaking cold, since Nuncle did tell me that the winter feels a lot colder over there, even if the temperature is just balmy per Icelandic standards  So, we’ll see, when I visit  giggles at my expense are guaranteed either way  

Hope you had a good one, CL!

Now that’s how it’s done!
