FUCK YES! Who's coming over to the Chateau to help me put the finishing renovations on the snow condos? Think I'm naming the complex "Wintergrasp"...

Now for something 100% serious: I fucking love snow. I am a blend of nationalities that comes from the northern parts of Europe, including Scandinavian. That's like being surprised a husky would love it in Alaska.

FUCK YES. I woke up, looked out the window, and it was like getting Christmas presents all over again. Felt a little jipped at first because it was a mere 8:30am and the snow had seemingly stopped. I later rejoiced after going to sleep again, waking up, and looking outside to the second part of the blizzard.

I <3 Michigan. People that live in places like Florida are super nuts, imo!

Really wish I had money for a lift ticket. I'd get in my car and head up to Mt. Holly today if I did.

As usual there was an over reaction.

At the time this morning you posted this I thought the same exact thing. Happy to know that we stand corrected :happy:. Rate it's still going we could easily see a ft, imo. We're already up over half, just need a feeeew more inches.

not out this way - i've got well over a foot of snow in my driveway, probably closer to 15-16" with drifting, and it's still coming down. i've got 4 rows of 4x4 landscaping timbers along my driveway & i can barely see them!

Here too. West Michigan got slammed, over 18 inches on top of what was already a hell of a lot of snow. I've got drifts in my front yard higher than the roof of my car. Gonna take me hours to dig that sucker out. Good exercise. ;)

Glad I wasn't in Chicago though, ugh, people stuck on Lakeshore drive for over 10 hours. (Did they not see it coming?? can't understand why they didn't close roads but I guess it was way worse than expected there).

Well, it's still snowing in Rochester Hills. The storm sure didn't end on schedule, though it started almost exactly at 7pm yesterday as predicted.

Right now we have only six inches of new fallen snow. And even though some drifts, like the one on our back deck, are an impressive 24 inches, this storm has fallen far short of its acclaimed 10 to 15 inch accumulation.

Maybe the late and continuing snow will make up for it. I'm hoping not.

      How Are You Feeling? (cont'd)

      By TronRP · Posted

      ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.

      I'm glad  that yesterday's day at work is long gone now. There was a very strong unusual energy that I felt, and couldn't get done with the day fast enough. It wasn't  the job at all. I just felt like I really needed to keep my mouth shut, to keep me from getting in situation(s) that probably wouldn't have ended well for me.

      You can trust anyone you want.  The only question is whether or not they're deserving of that trust. No risk = no reward.  As such you have to let yourself be vulnerable sometimes and realize that all people will let you down eventually whether it's intentional or not.  The frequency that it happens is what's important.

      Sorry, I don't check this as often as I should. Anyway document everything (although it sounds like @Trene4000already has been from her post.) It's okay to cry and break down, but not in front of them.  Never give them the satisfaction of seeing you crack.  If anything I'd go out of my way to piss them off, but I don't like being that guy either (and as such I'm not very good at it, except sometimes when I'm not intending to be.) I try to only help those whom deserve it, but that's often hard to judge.  Seeing how someone treats other people is a pretty good indicator of whether or not they're worthy.  Sociopathic narcissistic asshats are very much not worthy. I hope things are going well for you guys.
