A long time ago, 10-15 years ago, I often visited such a forum - huntamerica (now, alas, disappeared along with the archives). Here, in my opinion, there are more Southerners, and there were people from all over America, and the guys there wrote that Americans, on the Great Lakes, also go swimming in winter. I personally do not find pleasure in this, there have been cases when I fell through the ice in the marshes in winter, and even in the spring I turned over on a kayak during the spring flood - but not for pleasure. This year I was amazed to find out that my daughter-in-law goes swimming in winter, and I've known her for more than 10 years. These are the "skeletons in the closet".

Yes, at most events I know of here around the Great Lakes it's called the "The Polar Plunge". Usually set up at winter celebrations and such. Many times for a benefit of some kind. "Plungers" solicit for pledges based on minutes in the water. So for example. if someone were to pledge $25 per minute and and the "plunger" could stay in the water for 2 minutes (a long time), the benefit recipient would receive $50. My wife did it once with some of her crazy friends while I and the rest of the sane population watched. Beer was freezing in my glove. The temperature was -22 Fahrenheit that day. Most didn't last 15 seconds.

However, my wife and her group raised $650 dollars for their benefit.

Personally, I would have given $1000 NOT to get in the water. I've gotten wet enough while setting traplines in the winter to know better.

I’ve been through the ice a couple times trapping. Not as fun as it looks.

Definitely not a nice feeling at -30

Sure isn’t, hypothermia happens amazingly fast. The worst thing is, your brain slows down and judgement is out the window. Hopefully you have friends around who recognize the problem and know what to do.

Does the correction ribbon reset the timing?

Especially when they were at the end and didn't get changed.

Okay. Now let's apply some Mathematics to this situation.
Hypothermia is a negative situation. Alcohol causes the brain to slowdown and judgment is out the window also. That makes to negatives, Right? Two negatives added together make a positive.
IE: double loss of judgement can be a lot of fun.

Is this what happens when God lowers the bar?

My best friend would know exactly what to do…..and I’d wake up with a large tattoo in a highly visible location.

If you have S*x with someone standing up, is that still considered as sleeping with the person ?

Are you asking for a friend?
