    My company has been laying off in the last couple of days (about a hundred in all), but I was told today I'll survive. Phew.

    I hope your job stays safe schmenke. It is not a situation that is healthy for you, worrying about your job.

    I keep building snowmen with my kids, and teenagers keep vandalizing them. What a shame...

    Hey....Bagwan was talking about some prize for the first one who'll build a snowman. Show us some pics and you'll be the lucky winner.

    No pics. We built our first snow guy on the dark evening of January 1. We used the thin layer of of the first snow, and the snowmen was made of mud as much as snow. He was a tough and honest guy, although not very lucky. He lasted for about a day. :/

    As shown (or maybe not) in the fine print , in accordance with the Federated Ice Association(FIA) regulations , the extremely large prize fund(ELPF) was duly rolled over into next year's contest on Dec 31st , so , sadly , I have to say , that Mr. Tamasz , even with a picture would not have been eligible for the Solid Precipitation Person(SPP) prize .

    It's too bad , really , as it could have completely changed his life .

    Rudy , my man , you're probably better off not having won .

    The obvious fame that comes from such prestige awards as the SSP Prize brings the always chasing photographers and dirt writers out .
    And , the ELPF can change a man , man .

    With your heart broken at the news of the loss , I think you're lucky , since you are clearly a sensitive type of guy .
    This could have turned you into either a weeping puddle , or an evil villain bent on destroying at least a small village .

    You dodged a bullet , I'm tellin' ya .






    And , remember man , there's always next year .
    Make sure you have your camera ready this time .
