We all came into this winter expecting a crappy Nina mucking everything up, yet we’ve seen a lot of snow falling. I’m looking forward to this one because it’s the first one with cold temperatures. I don’t care what covers the roads, as long as it’s frozen. I dunno. I’m all for frozen whatever, but we are starting to head towards “Morch” sun angles and what not. I kinda hate to waste a storm that gave me all the good feels before bed, but then I wake up in a 6z steaming pile. Hopefully 6z are off runs and we toss. Fingers crossed anyway. 12z better get us going back in the right direction. I definitely want to see more snow to fall then sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know who they are. It's one of the reasons the board has lost its luster for me. The closing hours used to be an unbiased point/counterpoint discussion of how different parts of the storm could break in different areas (alongside weenie melts). Now it's just weenie therapy romper room and anyone who posts reality makes it worse. No biggie tho. Growing tired is a me problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Looking at the range of weenie-d out emotion reminds me of a tale my step-mom told me years ago about the "ephemerons". Very scientific beings that lived on the top of the mercury column of a thermometer. Their lives were on the order of a microsecond. After thousands or more generations, they figured out the extent of their world: where the top and bottom of the thermometer glass was. After a couple million more, they realized they were accelerating upward, and panic ensued as they thought their world would be crushed on the top of the glass in some number of generations down the line! Then, after awhile, they realized things were stabilized and the panic stopped. After a million more generations their measurements indicated they were going down, fairly rapidly. Upon more and more measurements, they were growing very worried that they would crater at the bottom of their universe! And so it goes... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why lurkers are 10:1 active posters. Sanity is a base state for normal people. Wonder what it feels like.... hmm... nah, sounds boring AF and dumb. I'm out on sanity.

mattie g Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I just want to reiterate that I wish people would just stop f'ing mentioning and/or responding to anyone who posts only to get attention. If anything is ruining being on the boards, it's seeing any mention of those types of posters. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nasty little f**ers!! Experienced those in Florida when I was in grad school for my Master's (FSU). I have a vivid memory one time of being in the outfield during some softball game practice, running in to catch a fly ball and inadvertently kicking one of those fire ant hill nests. In one motion right after I caught the ball and kicked that damned hill...I reached down and flung my shoe off. Thank goodness I didn't get bitten all over the place! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was about 9, I had done the yearly visit to South Carolina where most of my extended family lives. I had tons of cousins I was close to and we all would get together and play hide and seek. It was at night time and I had the clever idea to hide under a car, at night. And in South Carolina. It didn't turn out well. I had laid on top of a fire ant nest. My arm look like it got a beatdown with a baseball bat. **** fire ants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and met each other while she was living down south, so we started our lives together via long-distance relationship. One late night, a couple months after we met, she called me to tell me that she was headed home after an evening out with friends. She also told me that she had gotten bitten on her foot by what she assumed was fire ants. I asked how she was, and she said that her foot had swelled up and that her face was starting to itch. She then mentioned that she was driving by a hospital and wondered whether she should check herself in (and then laughed about it). I told her emphatically YES, so she did. 5-10 minutes after she checked in, they took her into a room where she passed the F out. A shot of Benadryl brought her right back, but if she hadn't pulled into the hospital right then... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
