Thought the wording was hilarious, I am thinking it messed up in some translation software.

@T4920 Next time you’re having difficulty maintaining the momentum, think about this…You can have results or excuses,but not both. I always tell people that the hardest part is just walking in the door.

Yeah. That’ll be nice.
Ya gotta have goals

[goosehd]

Well, my plans for the day are shot…buses canceled due to inclement weather and kids home for the day.

[Giles]

Buses cancelled I can deal with, unexpected kids, not so much.....

[Matt]

Snow shoe up kids!

Buyer beware on the German platform kleinanzeigen.de!
I noticed a multitude of new offers at too-good-to-be-true prices. Photos are taken from older listings, seller accounts are probably hacked or otherwise compromised. Don't fall for these!

[cityofdelusion]

My rule of thumb is: If they don't have any or good reviews, I will not even bother scrolling their listing/contacting them any further.

Edited to add: ...also if the price is too good to be true, there's almost always a catch.

How come if you screw up and pay too little tax, they want it all at once, but if they screw up and you pay too much tax, they get to pay you back in instalments?

C’mon Your Majesty, I know You’re good for the money… what a gip.

I have to wash my new (to me)sbgs much sooner than anticipated

A "chemically impared" motorist took out a fire hydrant and power line right outside our house this evening so I spent several hours wading through muddy water - somewhere between 45k and 90k gallons total

[popvulture]

Oh shit dude that is louuuusy

[GraemeE]

Bright spots are the kids are stoked to go to a hotel and police and fire offered to move my record collection to safety

[EdH]

@GraemeE Damn! That sucks, and especially this time of year. I hope everything works out!

[Giles]

Jeez, keep safe....

[GraemeE]

I will say that I spent a good portion of my youth shit talking life in the suburbs but every one of our neighbors as well as all the first responders all went above and beyond to help us out - unfortunately you don't always get that same attitude living in big cities these days

Good to hear. Much strength for the next days!

@GraemeE
wow that really sucks .
all the best an much strength for you and your family!

[ARNC]

@GraemeE thats really rubbish but good to hear the local community rallied round. Hope everything’s resolved quickly. Looking for the positives, I guess you won’t need to worry about soaking your SBGs before washing!

[TinMan]

@GraemeE Hope you back home as soon as possible. It is good to hear your community stepped up to help. Be safe.

[popvulture]

@GraemeE now that’s what I call tax dollars at work ️

Really glad y’all are being taken care of, and hope everything’s all sorted out soon
