@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!)

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

@Finn666:

if you're concerned that you have a heart attack or such thing…don't call the ambulance

930USD!... what the fuck!?

Wow. Do you have health insurance? Are they sending you a bill? I rarely see medical bills because they go to my health insurance company first and get paid there. (I've also never been in an ambulance. I plan to drop dead promptly, at a reasonable age, with no fuss to anyone.)

@seth see my explanation to @Finn666 above
Ambulance cost in switzerland covered by health insurance are limited up to certain amounts per year depending on case

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.

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.

[Chris]

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]
