Cats and heaters seem to go together.  My cat Terra will sometimes sit so close to the heater that her body is pressed up against it, and Nimue is laying very near to it right now.  Well, and the vacuum, but I doubt there's a correlation.  Today I get my stuff from storage, finally.  I may not have enough space for it all, but I can probably keep ( Read more... )

I studied in a another city and moved away from there in December -05... Spring -06 I spent in Sweden, after that I was living with my dad until I recently moved on my own again. So, most of my stuff had been packed away for almost three years. I honestly didn't remember owning half of the stuff I found when I opened all those cardboard boxes. ^^; It was almost like mini Christmas. I hope you'll have as much fun as I did. ^^;; "Oh look, I've got one of these too! :D"

Same here, barely cold enough for snow, around zero... which is ~32F, isn't it? I'm not good in this converting business.... And it'll get worse, they're saying it'll be something like 5-6 celsius on Thursday... that's... um, wait a minute... 41-42 Fahrenheit? :/

I'll... say candle. (No clue, really.) ^^; Because... the wolf howls at the moon, the moon causes the tide... and I can't really figure out anything else. ^^;;

It'll probably be a similar experience, as I really can't remember much of what's in there. I have a vague memory of what I have, but not of what is where and why.

Let's see . . . zero degrees Celsius is something like 32 to 34 degrees Fahrenheit, I think. Water freezes at 0, right? It freezes at 34 in Fahrenheit, but the degree size is different, too.

^^; Well, it is the candle, but the reason is different. That's the reason I originally thought, too, by the way.

I want to curl up next to a heating vent with my kitty. ;-;

Um, I say candle, too, because it's the only one that doesn't reflect light? I say the wolf reflects light because that's...how animal night-vision works, basically...

^^ Candle is right, but not for the same reason.

I am loving this. It looks like classic winter outside and it's all toasty warm inside and I have my rug and my bookcase and a cat curled up on the bed..

I say "candle" for the same reason as Tuulikki, but since that's not the case, I'm going to guess it's an etymological thing, though all the words look pretty Germanic to me. ^^;

And. . .looking it up, "candle" is indeed a Latin root while wolf, moon, and tide are not as far as I can tell.

. . . You know, that should be it, as it works very well. (All of these really do, and I loved Tuulikki's answer . . .)but, no. It's actually that each of these words is commonly associated with a color, except for 'candle.'

Gray wolf, red tide, (once in a) blue moon, but no colored candles. ^^;
