darksabre Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I did that the first year I was here in NC. Then the "yellow death" of pine tree pollen hit. One day of leaving our windows open in early spring had everything in the house covered with a thick yellow residue. You can always tell who the newer northern transplants are in the neighborhood by looking for houses with their windows open during pollen season. We actually got that here in Rochester last year, I had never seen anything like it before. I've lived around woods and pine trees my whole life but last spring was sooo dry that it just blew around and collected on everything. Not that this spring hasn't been obscenely dry too, we're already 2" below the norm for the season. Although some nice rain the past few days is attempting to bring my front lawn back to life. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Wings Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 shiit rolls downhill. Can't disagree with you there, but - and here's the fun part - the guy is supposed to be a peer of mine and he can't manage his own projects. When people are suggesting he come up with a plan, he throws others under the bus by saying he's not privy to the info he doesn't have, so make someone else do it. Not that he'd know the meaning of the word 'privy', either. :censored: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND it came right after I had the garden tilled, so I can't plant the mother #$@^&*! garden. Even with all the dry weather, I have been cutting my grass every 4th day. I can only imagine what it will be like after the rain stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Spelling Bee on ABC... Why not just have the judge give the kids, the language of origin, use it in a sentence, definition, alternate definition, alternate pronunciation, etc... instead of making the kids ask for each and every one of these. By the way, the kids are unbelievable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FogBat Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I'm driving in to work today and my Ipod lands on Rush - La Villa Stangiato. It made me remember a complaint that has been eating at me for years. Rolling Stone did a list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time(yes I know these lists are stupid) and Alex Lifeson was not on the list. Personally, he's at least in my top twenty. Whatever, but then don't go and put Joan Jett on that list as well. Yes,... you read that correctly,... Joan Jett. Swamp, we may not agree on a lot of things, but I most certainly concur with you. Rush (in general) appears to get dissed alot by Rolling Stone. :wallbash: That's ok, though. Rush is one of the top-selling groups in the entire history of rock music. AFAIAC, Nirvana won't ever come close. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XC, seriously, I think you're a good guy, and I really like your hockey-related input, but who the hell was talking about Wallis or Campolo (BTW, I have no idea who these people are; as likely as not, they're complete twits), or accusing people of having agendas?

Everyone has their hobbies I suppose. Crosschecking's seems to be keeping up on anything remotely related to religion which is fine, honest. But there's the idea that when complaining about something to a group of people you don't personally know, you want to connect with them on a mutual level. I play paintball, and hockey, and disc golf, and like RIT hockey, and obscure music and muscle cars, and wrenching on my vintage Honda motorcycle. If I come in here complaining about how Anton Kharin didn't show up in the last game, people might have a vague idea what I'm talking about, but there's no real connection. No one knows who Anton is. If I complain about how I'm pissed that Smart Parts keeps suing people over bogus copyright claims again, no one knows what I'm talking about. If I start b*tching about how much of a pain it was to clean my centrifugal oil filter, no one knows what I'm talking about. I may have a completely valid complaint that has me all heated, but this isn't the place to express that particular complaint. Here is where I complain about life, and the Sabres. I save paintball, motorcycle stuff, legitimate life problems, etc. for mcarterbrown.com, and RIT hockey for USCHO.com. I guess it's just a matter of making the point, once again, that in depth religious discussion really doesn't fit on this particular forum. This isn't a large enough forum to have enough people willing to discuss it. And even on most large forums I frequent (mcarterbrown.com), they have sort of a "don't touch this subject" policy when it comes to religion and politics. What am I getting at? I think it's a matter of taking a moment to think about whether the place you're posting something is the appropriate forum. In this crazy world of internets, it does sort of matter.

We don't want you happy types around here. :censored: Speaking of friday, why can't the week be over already? This has been one of those weeks where I'm getting no sleep and have been tired each day. It also doesn't help that I saw a guy in the lobby of this building this morning who looked like Mario Lemieux. I wanted to punch him but I couldn't.

Buffalo Wings Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 We had a major firewall upgrade last night that went miserably bad. We thought we were done at 7:30, but when my boss' boss called me an hour later, the night had only begun. We were lucky enough to be able to back out and stabilize everything, but I'm on about 4.5 hours of sleep (I know...more than a set of newly-anointed parents usually get, but it's less than I'm used to). Then I walk in to the same guy that's been harassing me all week, telling me to do stuff that he should be coordinating. And no, I don't report to him. :censored: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear I may not make it through this summer alive. that was me last summer. it didn't help that i had lost my job and we had to move. i didn't think i would make it through the summer either. luckily i did, and my son was born in november. things get "back to normal" a few months after the birth. i always used to say i wanted 4 kids, but after last summer i think i'm happy with 2.
