SALT STAINS

Will the Winter Storm Warnings ever stop? Send in your holiday wish list to CRD and pretend that this abominable weather is almost over.

IN THE DEPTHS

No need to harp about the CONSTANT snowfall and winter chills blanketing TO, but really, enough is enough. If the lovely vacation photos and messages from faithful CRD readers don't perk you up, then try banishing "The Depths" with one of these CRD-approved activities:



Love the Amazing Race? Then sign up for Navigate the Streets, a mini urban version of it right in your own tedious city.

Don't be shy and take it off, all of it!

For those of you sliding towards the dark side.

Explore your hidden stuffed rabbit. Everyone has their quirks, but this is just plain creepy.

One person's garbage is another one's treasure.

Pretend you're an extra in the Wizard of Oz.

Take up a new musical instrument. Really, it's the next trend.

String yourself up and swing from the rafters in a ghoulish attempt to be the next human pinata.[go to: pictures/2005/february/anniversary/ulysses]

"Do I have to remind you that M . and W. are not pregnant.  You volunteered to help and we needed a babysitter and since you're going to have a kid and they have had theirs already, I thought it would be more practical if you looked after them for a couple of hours"
