Step 2: Ignore the weather because there's a 99% chance it'll change within the hour.

Step 3: Complain about the weather.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2017%2F02%2F13%2F636225473807591499-1182714783_giphy%2520%283%29.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=434&h=481d4929725f3ce7bf7a3267a19a175280908ccb114ae8da298088b92c7c986b&size=980x&c=111428528 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2017%252F02%252F13%252F636225473807591499-1182714783_giphy%252520%25283%2529.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D434%26h%3D481d4929725f3ce7bf7a3267a19a175280908ccb114ae8da298088b92c7c986b%26size%3D980x%26c%3D111428528%22%7D" expand=1]

Step 4: Attempt to move on from the unpredictable weather.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2017%2F02%2F13%2F6362254747907001061539535489_giphy%2520%284%29.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=269&h=3eb6f1cc7fef2461cfe1e1d4d69599aa94bfbafafcbbb8d60867afe5400d9db8&size=980x&c=57191589 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2017%252F02%252F13%252F6362254747907001061539535489_giphy%252520%25284%2529.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D269%26h%3D3eb6f1cc7fef2461cfe1e1d4d69599aa94bfbafafcbbb8d60867afe5400d9db8%26size%3D980x%26c%3D57191589%22%7D" expand=1]

Step 5: Go to Dunkin' and get that iced coffee in 20-degree weather.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2017%2F02%2F13%2F636225475957569571-1851858202_giphy%2520%285%29.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=843&h=0bcbfb2a58b3abf8f220c915b80924f8593531a164a7448a68dfd7017e4770e3&size=980x&c=2553271182 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2017%252F02%252F13%252F636225475957569571-1851858202_giphy%252520%25285%2529.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D843%26h%3D0bcbfb2a58b3abf8f220c915b80924f8593531a164a7448a68dfd7017e4770e3%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2553271182%22%7D" expand=1]

Step 6: Continue to say how cold you are.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2017%2F02%2F13%2F636225476559602074-535161539_giphy%2520%286%29.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=990&h=42aa831b3f9ef362af974fe7f0d32b31a1dda5b329b292aa625f18913b09daf3&size=980x&c=1179157005 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2017%252F02%252F13%252F636225476559602074-535161539_giphy%252520%25286%2529.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D990%26h%3D42aa831b3f9ef362af974fe7f0d32b31a1dda5b329b292aa625f18913b09daf3%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1179157005%22%7D" expand=1]

Step 7: Try to think about something else.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2017%2F02%2F13%2F636225477061790517-579978858_giphy%2520%287%29.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=346&h=eeba50ec15cfc4c5deca9982ee90bfd24d73b583231211e55e77be5695124fed&size=980x&c=2902262274 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2017%252F02%252F13%252F636225477061790517-579978858_giphy%252520%25287%2529.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D346%26h%3Deeba50ec15cfc4c5deca9982ee90bfd24d73b583231211e55e77be5695124fed%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2902262274%22%7D" expand=1]

Step 8: Turn on the news to see that they're talking about the storm again.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2017%2F02%2F13%2F636225478566010695-1947432784_giphy%2520%288%29.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=538&h=e1ff0df7f8cfb98edb01ad26ac079be18c033fd8d3b6b36f542503235ce2cd40&size=980x&c=3740288501 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2017%252F02%252F13%252F636225478566010695-1947432784_giphy%252520%25288%2529.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D538%26h%3De1ff0df7f8cfb98edb01ad26ac079be18c033fd8d3b6b36f542503235ce2cd40%26size%3D980x%26c%3D3740288501%22%7D" expand=1]

Step 9: Tell yourself you won't go to the grocery store in this madness.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2017%2F02%2F13%2F636225479140077110-1212517850_giphy%2520%289%29.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=184&h=042ebf772d581fd9a5b35b9cd8631cdf1be8a7e1868baafd46fce7c5ced8a725&size=980x&c=3861557903 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2017%252F02%252F13%252F636225479140077110-1212517850_giphy%252520%25289%2529.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D184%26h%3D042ebf772d581fd9a5b35b9cd8631cdf1be8a7e1868baafd46fce7c5ced8a725%26size%3D980x%26c%3D3861557903%22%7D" expand=1]

Step 10: Only get the essentials at the grocery store. (AKA, chips and dip)

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2017%2F02%2F13%2F636225479777423908185299088_giphy%2520%2810%29.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=319&h=3158cb8c2478efb12398391eb7b08c342af8eec3da7cf89671cd6c2fbc1f8527&size=980x&c=2439353009 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2017%252F02%252F13%252F636225479777423908185299088_giphy%252520%252810%2529.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D319%26h%3D3158cb8c2478efb12398391eb7b08c342af8eec3da7cf89671cd6c2fbc1f8527%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2439353009%22%7D" expand=1]

Step 11: Get in bed and tell yourself you're never leaving.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2017%2F02%2F13%2F636225481667122365-1929811545_giphy%2520%2811%29.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=336&h=cdcff3770b3f5e24c8a099c6ba82eb4f94cb493c67f2c92fb6d9830f21fa4755&size=980x&c=1956771444 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2017%252F02%252F13%252F636225481667122365-1929811545_giphy%252520%252811%2529.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D336%26h%3Dcdcff3770b3f5e24c8a099c6ba82eb4f94cb493c67f2c92fb6d9830f21fa4755%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1956771444%22%7D" expand=1]

Step 12: Pray for a snow day from work/school so you can stay in bed longer and eat your chips.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe.
