Amen brother! It's good to know that there are other cold weather lovers out there.

Torontonians seems to be slow to make the transition, from hot to cold, also. :P

In my experience, the people with the most/worst allergies are those who lived in a spotless house as they were growing up. Not to say our house was dirty, just that it wasn't disinfected sterile as some people's are.

One of my friend's mum was a proper cleaning freak when he was growing up, there wasn't a speck of dirt anywhere in the house and I swear the motherfucker is allergic to everything. It's as a child that you develop immunities to stuff (Hence infant innoculation) and without a few dust mites around to get used to, you're never going to develop any kind of resistance to them and will (Possibly) end up allergic to them. Likewise, I don't hold with pregnant mothers avoiding peanuts and stuff as I believe you need to experience these things so as not to become allergic to them.

I'm not allergic to anything and for the record, I was breast fed.

I'm pretty sure I was bottle-fed, Alice, though to be honest, my memory gets a bit spotty beyond "what I had for breakfast this morning." (A small slice of leftover birthday cake. In case anyone was curious.)

And while I get slight asmatic symptoms (I can usually ignor those), on top of the typical runny nose bit, the one that really gets me are my eyes. I can get by without breathing; just leave my eyes alone.


Also, I'm an absolute cryophile. I hate the heat, but I'll be sleeping next to open windows when it's sixteen degrees outside. (Farenheight.)
