Suicide Capital of the US, I wonder why.

1. Our record is 33 consecutive days, what is the record where you reside?

2. If you were going to kill yourself, how would you do it? (I ask only of morbid curiosity. I actually like the rain.)

1. Not sure. But due to the fact that there's been no rain today, I doubt it's been broken recently.

2. Probably by jumping off of some tall place.

I move back to Seattle in 5 months. Yay!

As far as killing myself I'd drink myself into a stupor with some expensive liquor, start an IV, shoot up with pentoparb and vecuronium. (sedative, paralytic respectively) No accidentally coming back from that one.

Jesus Christo I'm glad I live in So Cal.

As far as killing myself ... well I think I would start by moving to Seatlle.

It's step, pivot, step, hop, hop, step.

You must be trying to anger the rain god.

Well here in Arizona it's something along the lines of a record of 10 consecutive days with an average of around 3 or 4 XD

We're currently in our 87th consecutive day without rain!

It kind of sucks because I love storms - esspecially the VERY big summer thunderstorms with all the cool colors, lol. At the end of last summer it actually hailed during one of them here.

Luckly it only snows in the mountains so all we get are ice rocks ... er, well I guess thats not so good either but I think I would cry if it snowed here.

It's dropped below 32* though some mornings but since it won't rain when it's this cold out theres no chance of snow. Kind of a catch-22.

As for killing myself - I suppose this week I'll go with "jump off the grand canyon" but that's pretty boring =/ if I did do it though I'd want it to be like out of a helicopter above the canyon or something and I guess I'd go out the same way I came in - Amazingly insane Thunderstorm. Now, I think it sounds pretty cool minus the whole dieing part but I guess you have to see a Thunderstorm over the canyon to understand.

Hey Stunted... from your post I take it you're up here too. Yes, the rain is becoming tiresome. Especially the lame morons who can't drive in it. That's something I will never understand... it rains up here a lot, yet there's always way more traffic problems whenever it's raining, as if the people up here are never exposed to it. 0.o

Anyway, suicide and the constant rain... how would I do it? Drowning, as it's appropriate given the environment, and water sure as hell ain't hard to find lately.

I know, what the sh[/i]it is that? You'd think people would be skilled here driving in wet weather, but instead they just act like goddamn retards. I'll never understand it either...and I'm from California, notorious for shi[i]tty drivers.

It's a daily battle to drive home from work without some jerk ramming me in the ***.

Wait...that didn't sound quite right...

Columbus either gets more precipitation or more days of precipitation than Seattle, one of the two. I looked it up when I began my job hunt out there and was rather perplexed.

IIRC, Columbus and most of Ohio in general get more average rainfall per year than Seattle. That's due to the fact that when it does rain here, it's usually gallons of the stuff whereas Seattle just lightly rains 80% of the year.

1. Dunno, I've been here for only 3 weeks.

2. I'd just lay down and die. That's always an option, you know. It takes a little time, but it doesn't leave much mess and you can sit around second-guessing yourself to your heart's content. It does have that over a shotgun blast or the perpetually suggested Clorox cocktail.

OHHHhhh... so YOU'RE to blame for all the rain. Do all of us in the Pacific NW a favor and go back to where you came from, and take the damned clouds with you!

Smiley: mad



(I'm kidding of course. It seems you couldn't have picked a worse time to come up here since it's been raining almost the entire time you've been here hehe. Welcome anyway!)

Hm...Vancouver may get more rain than us up here in Seattle, but we wear it better.

Look at it this way, if Ranier blows we're both screwed.

There has been a total lack of rain here in the south, although it has been improving. Apparently we are way behind on rain for the season and so there have been fire bans and that sort of thing. Better than snow anyday!! (Hell, it has been sunny and in the 60s and 70s ever since I got here. No way I can complain)

Definitely sounds like Arizona - I hear New Mexico, Nevada, Texas - all of us are getting this drought - hopefully we won't have any water shortages (more then usual) and restrictions on that but I was sort of annoyed at the fire bans because they were |------this------| (not to scale) close to ruining our fires at the new years parties but it was lifted like the day before.

Also, snow isn't that bad as long as you don't plan on living in it for good. I could handle 4-5 years, maybe 6 but I think after that I'd need a warm beach with complimentary bar girl to get me my drinks.

2. Hmm... I would go bike riding with George Bush.

Today we [NJ] are under a severe fog warning til 10am... Smiley: confused never had one of these before.

Smiley: smile We get fog warnings in the SF Bay area all the time. Some times you can barely see the tail lights of the car ahead of you its so thick. They even reroute flight heading into SFO to Oakland when its real bad.

California a strech of freeway that gets so foggie, it's noted for 10+ car pile-ups. Think the record now is 50 cars or there about.
