Mentao: Well, I wish I could be in. Still +1 for you.

The reason I can't be in is because I don't have any snow stories.

There is no snow in my country and I've never been in the winter season of a country when it is snowing, so I guess I'm out.
Dang it! That just shows how narrow-minded I can be sometimes! SORRY!
Could you maybe tell a story of what you would like to experience if you had access to snow?
I'll change the rules accordingly.
I'm from Puerto Rico so it doesn't snow here. HOWEVER the only time I have ever had contact with snow was when I was about 8 and went to visit my aunt in the state of Ohio. I loved the experience. I got on a sled and went down a few hills that were behind her house. It was an amazing experience. :) Plus I remember a really bad snowstorm the day after. That was not much fun. :(

BTW, thank you for the giveaway Piranjade!

Congrats on the good news!

I'm in with my depressing snow story. Back in 1997 I moved to Canada, and after a series of unfortunate events I found myself homeless. As my luck would have it my first night on the street coincided with a snow storm. I know it sounds like fun, but Sleeping in the snow for a week was pretty traumatic. Lol I'm really surprised I didn't lose some extremities to frostbite
Not in since I just bought it... but +1 for you!
I'm in!

I fondly remembering walking on top of icy snow and then icy crust collapsed and I've been in the snow to my waist.
Or how we sledded on plastic bag filled with ice and had to create something like tunnel into the snow to do it properly. It was lot of fun, good times. It is sad that this year has no snow.

Thanks for a nice giveaway, Deus ex is cool game I'd like to play, so far played only demo.
Not in but +1
Very happy at your abundant good news, Piranjade! That is lovely stuff on all fronts.

Not in for your generous giveaway, but perhaps I can be in for your sister-in-sunshine chezybezy? She is a delightfully upbeat soul as well, and often brightens my day here.

Keeping loving life my dear!

EDIT: Oops, I missed the snow part! One Winter many years ago I slipped on the ice. Seemed fine after that, and went to visit my folks for the weekend. Woke up one night in excruciating back pain. My mother took me to her chiropractor the next day. First time I had ever been to one. He put me on the rolling table, then did an adjustment. Miraculous results, the pain abated and was soon gone. I don't go in for the more mumbo-jumbo side of chiropractics, but I'm a firm believer in them crackin' out the pain! :D

I'm glad to hear you've had such great news, and feeling good!

Something about snow, huh? Back when I had a dog, I didn't like snow because the darn stuff got into my dog's paw. Really, really hard lumps of snow between his toes. At the end of each walk he'd start to get restless and finally started to try chewing the snow off. We had to stop every few meters and you could see how annoyed and frustrated the poor guy was. :-(
Not in and thanks for the giveaway Piranjade.
Not in, but glad to hear the good news! It's nice to be reminded how fortunate we are from time to time. Hmm, as for snow, my favorite snow memory was just a couple years back... my wife and I rented a cabin in the mountains in Georgia, and she had never seen snow before. The first day we were there it was cold and quiet. I was awoken a while before sunset by the sound of my wife yelling, "what the f*ck IS THAT??"

It was snowing in full force, and she pretty much freaked out. I've never heard her say "shit yeah!" so many times in one morning. We played in the snow most of the day, accompanied by a small group of deer that seemed fascinated with our strange behavior. Nothing particularly funny or painful about it, just a really nice memory. :)

Thanks and +1 for the giveaway!
Not in but +1 and WOOO! Congratulations on the lack of cancer! \o/

Piranjade: A good friend and I started to meet every Monday to paint miniatures for Blood Bowl. (She's painting a Nurgle team and I'm painting a Lizardmen team)
I really get how having the time to paint your big guys can bring happiness (even nasty elves-crusher ones D: )
Good for you, keep well and +1.


Edit : and not in

Already have the game so not in myself.
But here's a fun fact about snow in Finland: We didn't have almost any snow until January this year(or at least in the southern part of Finland that is) and you could consider that quite rare thing when living this north!

I'll be entering for squidbee here.
