Which takes on a whole new meaning in light of the dick thread

Around 2:45am I was doing dishes when a huge, loud, close clap of thunder went off. It rocked the house it was so loud. It was followed by another, smaller bang then we were hit with a cloud burst. It started raining here around 6 last night and has rained pretty steadily ever since. I have the house opened up so I can listen to it. Today is claw day and I am not fancying the trip across town.

What the heck is "claw day"?!?

Count me in as curious about "claw day"....

Let me translate (and if you've met MG it would make more sense). Claw day means she is getting her fabulous nails done. You really must see them. They are 10 tiny works of art.

ding ding ding!!! Thank you NA! I ended up being up all night then ran around today, but I got everything done. I am now sporting purple, black and green claws.

It's a chick thing. I get it.

The best kind of storm is the kind that cancels work on a Monday, and then clears up by 10 AM so Chinese restaurants can open as usual.

;)

Do you mean a snowstorm? I can't recall ever seeing a business (including my own) close due to a rainstorm. Does it ever rain that hard anywhere?

Hmm, Maybe California needs to have rain days like the snow days they have in other parts of the country. :) It would seem that many folks can't drive all that well in the rain here anyway, maybe there would be far fewer accidents. Besides, there was nothing cooler than snow days when I was a kid. You always had at least a few surprise days off each year. I have very fond memories of waking up on a school day, seeing the ground covered with snow and eagerly turning on the radio, desperate to hear someone reading school closing announcements. Ah, those were the days. :)
