IceFrogs? :P

Anyway, our...I don't know how to call it, but for the sake of this let's call it "water container" on the attic, which is connected to our furnace/central heating, has frozen and so the pressure from the heating had no way out, thus it was raising, which would lead to an explosion in the worst case scenario.
So we had to heat the container up a bit so that it would stop the bomb from ticking.

It has stopped raising now, at least, and should hopefully go back to normal soon enough, but still, having your central heating explode is not a happy thought to have.

Boiler, maybe?

Well, it's not really a boiler, since it's the tank from which the water in the radiators comes from. (we had to refill it a few years ago when the water in the radiators evaporated)

Snow. Ice. Fog. Wind.

All combine to make driving today something close to nightmare-inducing. I don't see how some people drive in this stuff every year, or even year-round ;_;

I accidentally read fog as frog.

So I was imagining a storm of frozen frogs.
Geez, that would be horrible! I'd be squishing frogs by the thousands T______T

I had a dream a bit like that, once.
There were all these amphibious creatures just carpeting the ground, and I couldn't walk without stepping on them. :-S

I've spent the last couple hours freaking out because I thought I'd poisoned my cat.

But you hadn't, I hope?
That'd freak me out too. D:

I didn't. I am a lot less stressed out than I was a few hours ago.

The drive to class today could best be summarized as follows:

~weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~
AAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
~weeeeeeeeeeeeeee~

Fucking water, stop having such a high freezing point!

Blacked out for a couple of seconds from low blood pressure this morning. Managed to catch myself before falling (I was seated) but it's a scarily short step from 'Wake up with head in hands on desk' to 'Wake up in hospital.' Teaspoon of salt has helped in short term. Still worried about long term.

I'm kinda envious of people with low blood pressure. It can definitely be as dangerous as high in some circumstances, but it's not something the doctor can tell you off for because you've been lazing around all day and eating too much pizza. :P

Nope.
That is one of the reasons that is possibly my favorite SCP. It's not just evil, not just some primordial eldritch thing reacting to the world like SCP-682, or some nightmarish "Oh god what is that" like SCP-231.

It's a ruthless serial killer; It is a cruel calculating sadist; above all, it is the worst things a human mind can be stuffed in a package of untold power to torture. It isn't just incredibly destructive and dangerous, it's cruel. Hateful. Malevolent. Unstoppable. I could scarcely imagine an entity more terrible then that of SCP-106.
