Spring Fever seems to be a good topic for this area of the message board. After all, Spring Fever is affecting all forms of life at this time of year. Here's something to get you started:

Spring fever is something i'm desperately striving to hold at bay. Chechackos; first year Alaskans; think cabin fever is its worst in January, our coldest, darkest month when we've already had three months of winter weather. The locals know better. They hunker down and basically sleep off that grueling month like bears, numbing their minds between wok and curling up in blankets to watch DVD's.
March is the wicked teaser, and this year is no different. March began with dumping us in three feet of fresh new snow, making a total tally for this winter at seven feet. It then plunged into a five day cold snap, with temperatures at -5 F. Sunday, the temperature soared to 37 F. and by yesterday we were enjoying balmy 45 degree weather, with snow melt running down the highway like a shallow river.
We had officially reached break up weather, which is actually a slow process. Although it's still warm today, and there probably won't be another cold snap, it's clouded over and the forecasters are predicting snow. Yesterday, there was talk of fishing, bar-b-ques and camp outs. Today, the mouths will probably be closed shut while the locals dismally think of the extra snow that will have to melt before spring arrives. Actually, you can't even call it spring. As fast as the ground is uncovered, new plants begin growing. Within two weeks after the last of the snow is gone, it's summer. We have three seasons. Summer, winter and break-up.

The birds, squirrels, and other neighborhood animals are frolicking and mating all around the area. The bees are appearing to pollinate the flowers on the plants in the yards. In humans, the opposite sex seems overly friendly at this time.
Considering thee things, I think the move to make sassafras illegal was nothing but a conspiracy to increase the numbers of Christian conservatives. Since they have been taught that sex is evil and sinful all their lives, they must have been having problems procreating in the bedroom due to the feeling of guilt, so they decided that further measures needed to be taken. Now none of us can get "Spring tonic."

Spring for me is wanting to go outside and walk in the sunshine with renewed energy and hope. Telling myself that this is the year that I will maintain my health and actually improve it.
The only downside of Spring is that my Cockatiel, Fred, is so horny that he is constantly trying to mount my hand while I am using the mouse. Part of the sexual ritual for birds is biting so when I move my hand away, he gets aggressive and then they are NOT love-bites any longer.

Why would anyone want to make sassafras illegal? It's a root that grows wild, is a great tonic and for some, a very delicious taste. It's also very aromatic. If you boil some sassafras for an hour or two in the morning, your house will smell sweet all day. I get it. The plot to make us a pill society, dependent on the medical foundation and the foundation alone, is on. Hail to the doctors who hold power over our health!
