Calli, according to news14, we have a winter weather advisory.
Yeah, weather.com says it'll be cold rain all day tomorrow (but still a winter weather advisory) and weatherunderground.com is saying ice pellets all day, which I believe is what caused that 20-hour gridlock on I-40 a few years ago. I have no idea what we'll wake up to tomorrow.
Nothing on the University or transit websites yet. Guess they're waiting to see what happens. Meh. Have I mentioned I hate ice? A lot?
I just IMed my mom, and after about three messages back and forth, she called me, because she "likes talking better than typing." I thought it was weird for her to call me when we were already having a conversation, and she doesn't get why I think it's weird. Like, she called while I was typing, and the first thing she said was that she could see that I'd started typing something to her and she wanted to know what I was saying.
Ice is for shaking with gimlets. In weather I hate it exactly as much as I like having electricity.
Hil, I have to agree with your mom on this one. If the conversation needs more than 3 back n forths of text, and not wrapping up any time soon, call. But that might be because I do not have unlimited texts.

This wasn't text messaging, it was chatting on computers.
oh. well that's different. Then I have to agree with you. Although, I tried IM'ing with my mother, and her typing was so slow, it was not a conversation.
Yeah, my mom's typing isn't that fast, either. But it's not like we were discussing anything important -- I was just sharing a link and the latest snowpocalypse news, which was that my university it still waiting to decide whether or not to have classes tomorrow.
Oh, my mother's never going to enjoy IMing as a replacement for hearing my voice. I wouldn't expect her to. Burbling is different, plus there's the sensory aspect.
Hell, people wouldn't have phone anxiety if there wasn't something very different about it, for good or ill.
Yeah, it was just calling me while we were already having a conversation that seemed weird, not preferring phone over IM in general. But then again, she also started IMing me while I was talking on the phone to my dad, who was sitting right next to her, because interrupting him to tell him to tell me things was taking too long, so I might just give up trying to figure this out.
