@Seth:

@Snowy:

One of my neighbors has a battery dying in a smoke detector. I've been hearing it 'beep' every minute for 3 days now. Fuck me, how hard is it to replace a battery! (or maybe they're dead, and fuck me can't someone stop that beeping, they're dead!)

Stopped after about a week. I think they were on holidays. I couldn't work out which unit it was and there was many closer neighbours who must have been going worse insane.

Every minute for 3 days? Are they on vacation? Maybe have the police perform a "welfare check" at the home.

@Snowy surely it's not still going or going again?

In the same boat @urbanwoodsman damn wind cuts to the bone! Stay warm

[pillowPANTS]

Oh boy!! Welcome to Ontario Shane lol. U and JDL suck, its waaaay warmer in the good ol Soo

Hahaha

Bunch of frozen bastards we are! @pillowPANTS I have been wanting to hit the UP/Canada the last couple years and just never get to it. Will have to make it a priority to get up there with the kids this year, once it thaws of course.

Frozen here too in Boston. In 3 weeks, we had 4 storms, and around 7 feet of snow (according to today's weather broadcast). It's 4 degrees F right now and -17 with wind chill. This coming week is supposed to be the coldest since 1934 and more snow coming.

Damn, that's brutal.

For contrast, yesterday was 80° and sunny here.

[jdl1279]

@Seth glad we have dodged large amounts of snow this year. After last I would have offed myself seeing that much!

@Chris brutal is appropriate! Have needed the Bemidji Super Jacket the past few days, while you probably sweat just looking at wool hahaha

[irishexpat]

bad guys always have the cool jackets. its bullshit.

[jdl1279]

Hahaha…mine is pretty much this

Don't know if it qualifies as bad guy or not

[irishexpat]

my wife is watching Bates Motel on netflix and one of the gang guys (? i dunnno - im only half paying attention) had on a pretty rockin' leather jacket.

[jdl1279]

Just found the timing funny…but yes...villains tend to have more style cred

[CLJ]

Thanks guys. Im being really careful it is just hell being immobile and stuck inside all the time. I can't wait for this to be fixed and rehab in time for summer.

[jdl1279]

Super pissed!!! Somehow have managed to lose a single glove of my favorite pair. Always at the most inopportune time. Now have to find another pair. Looking for lined tan deerskin with a draw closure if anyone knows of any

[Black Orchid]

So angry and upset… Have just left a rental property cleaner than when I arrived and landlord is now trying to get us or at least our deposit for leaving a beautiful pot plant in the garden, putting up coat hooks and a lock on a door... WTF [emoji35]

Sorry to hear that, Black Orchid. I'm in the process of moving, as well; and I hope my landlord isn't as ridiculous. I wish you the best of luck in contesting his delusional logic, and reclaiming your deposit.

[Black Orchid]

Thank you, looks like it may not be as bad as I first thought and won't cost that much is more the principle really and putting up with people's petty minded ways. Good luck with your move

Well said. It's difficult sometimes to avoid the influence of that narrow sort of thinking.

Thank you for the well-wishes.
