I don't know how you guys survive winter in Canada. I was in Niagara Falls for about four days around Christmas several years back and I thought my entire brain pan would freeze from the cold wind. Brrrrrrr! :-)
I HATE winter but if I have to be honest, we get off relatively easy in Toronto. We're not in what they call the snow belt although last year was brutal. The year before was great though. We hardly had any snow to speak of and I think I only had to pay three times to have the driveway at Dad's shoveled out. I sure hope this year will be snow-lite. :)
That's a good idea. I did backup by journals using LJArchive before the big move. It's a shame I bought a permanent account here, and yet seldom use it.
I leasrned about it after the last big LJ flap when TPTB were deleting LJs without notification because they didn't like the content. I didn't figure I had anything too offensive on my lj, but since I write and post NC-17 fanfic I figured rather safe than sorry.
Some people actually do it. My daughter just moved into a new house, and in the bathroom there's a little table on a swivel, set up so that you could move it around right in front of the toilet. Perfect for a TV -- or a computer!
