have the winter blues? I absolutely hate this time of year. I'm constantly in a bad and irritable mood. Money is always tight, because of the Holidays and I can't even smoke which makes it worse. Ugh.....Sorry just venting, this is the kind of stuff that makes for sleepless nights lol. So who else is suffering from winter depression?

(ps no wise cracks from you warm climate folks :tg :D)

Re: Anyone else
 

I'll refrain from the warm comments but I feel your pain about the holdiay blues. Sleepless night aren't worth it. Live life to it's fullest.

Re: Anyone else
 

I wonder if they call it the winter blues because thats what color your fingers, toes, and nuts turn while shoveling piles of crap from the driveway?

Re: Anyone else
 

Thankfully I have a wonderful girl in my life along with a great puppy which makes it easier.

Re: Anyone else
 

Yes you do! On the other hand, my fantastic wife just blew up about 8 boxes of Monte #4s? WTF?

Re: Anyone else
 

lol, I hope you don't mean literally "blew up" 8 boxes of Monte #4's

Re: Anyone else
 

I'm with ya on this Dave. For me, it's listening to all those people wanting their tax refunds back RIGHT NOW!!!

I miss summer..:(

Re: Anyone else
 

lol, your supposed to be the miracle worker :cb

Re: Anyone else
 

Case in point...had someone today tell me she hadn;t worked all year. Can she still get something called the EARNED INCOME Cedit. Uh no, you must have earned income....:bh

She just didn;t understand.:fl

Re: Anyone else
 

apparently she missed the key work "earned". I probably would have slapped her and then kicked her butt out the door

Re: Anyone else
 

If only....:D

Re: Anyone else
 

I thought you were suffering the blues because of how bad the Hoosiers are gonna suck in basketball this year. :D

Re: Anyone else
 

Holiday financial woes always suck. Going through that now. Other than that, winter is great here. I like the cold. Thank God for the garage.

Re: Anyone else
 

I had already accepted that fact A LONG time ago :ss

Re: Anyone else
 

Not only do I have cabin fever, but the freakin' snow has my shoulder and back SCREAMING! I hate winter.

Re: Anyone else
 

Nah, no explosions..... unless her head spinning around like an owl counts!:r

Dem's fightin' words...:bx http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t...milies/706.gif http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t..._in_the_ba.gif

True words, but fightin' words nonetheless.:D

Re: Anyone else
 

I didn't even overextend myself this year, it's just when the account gets below a certain threshold I start to get nervous (for no good reason). It doesn't help when basically I took 2 weeks off (work was extremely slow because of the holiday) and when you work straight commission, no work = no pay so I now feel like I'm behind now :hn

Re: Anyone else
 

Oh....that kind of explosion. Just give her some money and tell her she can buy some new shoes :ss

Re: Anyone else
 

4 pairs

Re: Anyone else
 

I have spurts of it...Not as bad as some people I know but it's the early darkness that gets to me.

Re: Anyone else
 

How early does it get dark out there...usually around 5:15 here

Re: Anyone else
 

That should do the trick :r

Re: Anyone else
 

speially if dhe goes to payless BOGO

Re: Anyone else
 

I know David met her.... but you did too Perry?:r

Re: Anyone else
 

:r aren't hey all the same?

Re: Anyone else
 

yeah I think we get to sunset at around 430..:fl

Re: Anyone else
 

the dark raining days and nights are a litte depressing

Re: Anyone else
 

I can relate, David. When I went to KC last month, I knew I had to take 4 days off from the gym....Well, that 4 days turned into almost 3 weeks. Ate crappy, stayed up until 4-5AM every night, didn't do much but stay home when I was off work, became an insomniac....I think it is a mild form of depression.

I am over it now, back in the gym, getting to bed a bit earlier, getting back in the groove....hope you can too.

Re: Anyone else
 

No warm weather crack but two words about why I don't suffer from winter blues or holiday letdown...


MARDI GRAS!

Re: Anyone else
 

I've been getting the winter blues a little more this year than in the past. Part of the problem is I'm at work well before dawn, and when I leave the sun is just starting to set. While I'm there, I'm either in a windowless lab, or a windowless basement office. Sometimes I walk outside just to make sure the sky is still there.

And it's been cloudy, rainy, and dreary for awhile. I don't mind winter and cold so long as the sun comes out once in awhile.... I hate cold, cloudy, rainy misery.

Re: Anyone else
 

I get the winter blues in summer sometimes
