I hate February!
Two dates of note in February...

A date when an overgrown rat (supposedly) tells us how much longer winter will be.

A date when we overspend on shit to show much we "love our wife/girlfriend/whatever."

And it's still cold and snowy outside! &*%$#!!! :grr:

7. It's 72 degrees and I'm wearing shorts today
...I've been outside doing yard work.

I gets Africa hot for a couple of months in the summer, and the rest of the year isn't too bad.

11. This is pitiful.
A thousand people freezing their butts off waiting to worship a rat. What a hype. Well, it used to mean something in this town. They used to pull the hog out, and they used to eat it! You're hypocrites, all of you!

13. I like this month because it means I've gotten through the 3 months I hate the most...
I hate November,December and January. Here in Northern Alabama, these 3 months are rainy, cloudy and cold. The sun doesn't come out much and it makes me almost suicidal. By February, it's starting to be sunny and in the 50's and 60's. Forsythia and Daffodils start blooming.
