SHRIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!

OMG!! It gave me an ICE CREAM HEAD!!!  Thought my head would explode... BUT... I DID IT... I did the entire shower in ice cold water... omg... omg.. still shivering... thank god for hot hair blowers!  Thawed out me head.

Ok... I am going to ISSUE... A HEALTH WARNING TO ALL MEN!

That shrinkage could possibly be permanent!  I used to have what was called "inverted" nipples.  This problem was eliminated (I thought) by breast feeding 5 children over a period of about 11 years.  I know, TOO MUCH information...

BUT...that cold shower I just had.... sent them right back to that "inverted" state! (no razor effect for me)!!  If it had that effect on my girls, I can't imagine what it might do to you GENTS! 

Just saying... ok.  Just saying!  Proceed with CAUTION!!

Hugs Stayed

Good job Stayed! Only 29 more days to go!

[stayed]

oh man...    Thanks MeNow!

Ok, Started Feb. 20th.  last day March 21, is my math right... hehehe?

Feeling good now.  Ice cream head went away just as quick as any other ice cream head, heheh!  Must say, although not enjoyable... quite invigorating.  Feel like I did something kind of special and hopefully good for me.

Sunshine and light to all...  Stayed

You mKe it sound so lovely... Not gonna lie. Totally procrastinating this!  My son woke those house up screaming.   Refused to discuss anatomical
Issues so I'm still in the dark but half an hour later he reported warming back up except for his toes.

Coldest day of the year.  This couldn't be worse timing.  The city Schools are closed its apparently unsafe at the bus stop.  Us suburban folk are made of thicker skin apparently.  Time to test that theory.

Keep singing uptown funk you up to get myself psyched.

ermergarsh!    that was soooo cold.

Bruno Mars rockin in my head -- set my cell phone timer for 5 minutes and plunged in.   After a brief yelp, I figured out the trick of putting one body part under the water, soap up , and rinse.  However, normal brain function was quickly becoming impaired -- and I definitely felt the ice cream head pain.  All I could remember of the song was "uptown funk you up"....so I dash through the shower -- singing that one line over and over again like a mad man.  OMG putting your full head and neck under that water is pure hell!!!!   I finished up, and stuck my head out to check the time -- 90 seconds had expired!!! 

I'm gonna need a new song.  For some reason the old "in the jungle the lion sleeps tonight" pops into my head. 

That actually works well in this situation....cause no matter where you are in the lyrics, when you step fully under the stream of water, you have to dance, and you have to jump to the "Wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh" part with gusto. 

Unforutnately, the involuntary sounds coming out of my throat added to the effect, and the entire house, heard me "singing".    My family suggested "Wimoweh" sounded more like a cross between a man screaming like a girl, and pig squealing at bacon-making time. 

So another three minutes pass very slowly, and I take another peak at the clock -- 30 seconds left -- at this point, I step back into the water, and it really doesn't seem too bad.  Madness or euphoria has arrived.   I've crossed over to the other side.  Everything is numb.  I look down and discover that the boys have sucked straight up inside me, but get this, Stayed, my nipples could cut glass!  Finally, after what could not have possibly been 30 seconds, my timer sounds, which by the way is "funky chicken" ring tone. 

I burst out of the shower, and without touching the towel, I feel immediately much warmer.  My skin is bright red.  My afore mentioned Beamers are up, and my boys are in the witness protection program.  My heart is racing, and I'm breathing like I just ran a 400 m sprint.

It literally took 10 minutes for breathing and heart rate to return to normal.  But I instatntly felt warm -- except for my toes -- which are still cold.   As a matter of fact, when I walked outside to warm up my car and head to work, it was minus 2 with a 20 mph wind -- the weather man says its a record breaking cold with a windchill of -20 -- and my first thought was -- this aint so bad!  So it turns out you really can fight ice with ice. 

Only 29 days left.

So sorry I missed this challenge...by one day! Rats...it sounds fun! I'll have to wait until March for the "let's bang our heads against a wall until we get dizzy" trial or April's "let's hold our breath until we pass out" challenge.  In the meantime, I look forward to the tales of torture on this thread.

OWL -- we're still accepting membership -- I promise not to taunt too much when I'm done and you have one more day left.

[MsT]

Ok, maybe I will try. I didn't today, though, had the little one in with me and she didn't sign up for this

Thanks for extension, however, I am already involved in a winter challenge and I can't fit this one in right now. It's called "let's shovel snow until we can't feel our arms anymore". It's the gift that keeps on giving. Now that the snow banks are about two feet over my head and I have to lift the shovel and fling the snow like I'm sending it into outer space, today's contest should only take about an hour. If I take my hot shower away at this point, I will have no reason to go on living and may just bury myself and look forward to the hallucinations of hypothermia.
