The Dysfunctional-Palooza Obnoxious Masshole BS Thread

[day_trippr]

I've never known how to address Easter Greetings. On the one hand, there's a grim story, otoh, the same story led to a celebrated event.
All too heady for me, so I'll just say I hope everyone has a great day tomorrow.

The Spousal Unit and I will be attending an Egg Hunt with our youngest grandson (17 months) in the morning, feeling blessed to have him and his parents in our lives, wishing we could have had the other branches of our family up here this weekend, but looking forward to when we'll all be together for our annual Cape of Cod week soon

Cheers!

Happy Easter to those who celebrate it. Hubby’s Polish side of the family would have a big brunch following church services. Kielbasa (or Polish sausage as they would say) eggs, rye bread, sarma, (sp?) with champagne and vodka flowing.

Ready for oven
Nothing really Eastery about them but i like making cinnamon rolls (no kneed overnight style)
Happy Easter folks

 

[smurfjuice]

Yes,

 

[Dland]

Well, there you go,... another positive statement, always good for moral. {;

 

[balrog]

It's SPRING!

Wait. Nope. Not yet.

YES!

No.

At least we didn't get 14" snowfall first week of April.

If it is any consolation, it doesn’t feel like Spring here to the South either, though we can see trees greening up, flowering and there are daffodils galore.

 

[day_trippr]

I was down in Northern-ish NJ over the weekend and it was definitely Spring on Saturday. Sunday...not so much.
They're at least two weeks ahead of Central MA...

"There's nothing like Spring Time in the South. There's nothing like Fall in New England".

There.

I said it.

S’up *******?
Hey I think I gave the wrong impression in my last post, I’m not quitting brewing or leaving you guys. I’m just getting rid of something I haven’t used in years that’s taking up space. I still have a cooler mash tun, pots, etc, and (God forbid) there’s always extract recipes. But I don’t brew near as much as I used to and it just makes sense to get it to someone who’ll use it.

Who knows, someday the world will be normal again and the Karen’s won’t lose their mind when we have the next Masstoberfest.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Normal would be nice.

 

[balrog]

Even a little normal would be nice, yes.

 

[balrog]

It's SPRING!

Wait. Nope. Not yet.

YES!

No.

At least we didn't get 14" snowfall first week of April.

{signed, displaced Vol}

Yep. I spoke too soon. Damnit.

[paulthenurse]

I used to work with this older British nurse practitioner was a f'ing scream. She had this totally flat, dry delivery as the funniest damn things you ever heard came out of her mouth. One day, when the weather bunnies are all running around like Chicken Little, fretting about the impending Snowstorm from Hell she lets loose with "Snowstorms are like sleeping with a bloke for the first time. You never know how much you're going to get or how long it's going to last."

I miss her.

"Irony": when Mother Nature's sense of humor snows on yer a$$ on 4/16, and you pop open FB to make a snarky comment, and FB smacks you with a "share your memories" photo from 4/16 SEVEN YEARS AGO of the SAME THING!

 

[balrog]

And it's sloppy messy heavy nasty crap that hurts my sugicaly enhanced rotator cuff. Whine. Feed me pudding.

It is purty, tho.

 

[day_trippr]

It's 2-3 inches of solid slush here. Tire-grabbing stuff, gotta pay attention else end up in the woods...

 

[paulthenurse]

Remind me why we live here again.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Picturesque Autumn.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Your fellow Massholes?

 

[day_trippr]

^that^ is part of it. There are a lot of smart folks living in MA. Plenty of good folks, too. People you want around you
I've lived on both coasts (MA and WA) and fairly close to the middle (CO), visited or at least traveled through 45 other states, and still always felt MA is where I belonged...

Cheers! (No pressure - but don't screw that all up for me )

And this

 

[balrog]

Raise one for my Dad, folks. Passed peacefully last night in TN, fought dementia 2+ yrs. Y'all would've liked him, even if he thought me crazy moving up here. Wicked sense of humor.

 

[paulthenurse]

Hey Balrog. How’s the shoulder?

 

[paulthenurse]

Hey I posted my question without refreshing te page.
I’m sorry to hear about your dad. He and you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Tough day for you all.

 

[balrog]

Pfsh, worry not. All this techie-refresh-before-posting-crud is for losers. I"m waiting for the day to arrive when tech requires not 2, but 4 factor authentication with retinal scanning and blood dna sequencing before I can view my beer recipes. It's coming. Just you wait, 'enry 'iggins, just you wait.

The shoulder....is proceeding apace. No longer "frozen", which was the biggest post-surg issue. Still going to be a while before they'll let me juggle chainsaws. At least flaming chainsaws.

That’s a bitter sweet passing, when dementia is involved. Sorry to read the sad news. Enjoy your good memories, he is now at peace.

Outstanding arrest warrants in most other states?

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

The system is down just like the RMV network for the past months. Number of warrants is 0 Bird. Thank you Chuckie Baker.
