Guest guest Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Congratulations n!! for joining the zero club. I'm so happy for you. I live in Iowa which means we usually send our bad weather your direction. Unfortunately, you are in for some very, very, cold weather in the near future. We had record lows of -50 degrees today. Unbearable to be outside for brief moments. I have a very good friend from Maine. She lives way up by the Canadian border. Beautiful country. She says the fall is the best time of year and when they go to Houston TX for her appts, they can't hardly stand the heat. What part of Maine do you live? Stay warm!!
