Is like complaining about the weather.
:dubious:
-
Making things up about the weather = :fatty:
"I heard it's going to snow tomorrow!"
-
"If you don't like the weather in Kansas just wait five minutes."
:dubious:
-
My grandma writes letters to me every month and half of her letter is always about the weather.
Your weather is prop probably much better than here. I think I heard earlier this week that part of the country was above normal temperatures. Again, I'm not sure if that's true or not, but I think that's the case. It has been cold here but I did see two robins on Monday and my [can't read it] and daffodils are up although now covered with snow!
Then the guilt trip.
If time permits, keep in touch.

holy hell, amazing post. :lol:

She has a template. Always begins the letter complaining about old age or injury, then the weather, then ... the guilt trip. :frown:

Hate this saying. :goodbyecruelworld: (ftp://:goodbyecruelworld:)I've lived in 5 states and have heard this saying verbatim in every one.

Holy crap. We're cousins, right? If yes, she told me to pass along the message that you're supposed to call her. I think she wants you to take her to her cataract surgery next week.

Well, I guess it is "my turn" to call. She has this thing where if she calls, and I don't answer, she will not call back again. If I forget that she called and I don't talk to her for several weeks or even a month (we live in different states), she still won't call. She'll instead write the weather letter and then give me some line at the end like this one, from January ...
I know you are busy, but if you ever find a minute, give me a call.
(If only I had e-mail).
Love,
Grandma

the only thing worse is when your grandma DOES have email. JFC. tons of forwards everyday about "back in my day...."
I share a grandma with a poster on this site, so he can agree with me that our Grandma will say she emailed us, but never really did...but we feel the guilt trip anyway. :frown:
-
great thread micat, I also rough ridin' hate people who complain about the weather
-
Every time it snows, my mom always gets on the phone and calls our relatives in Wichita to see how much they got.
"They always get all the snow."

Who is dumber? People who complain about people complaining about the weather, or people who complain about people filling out multiple NCAA tournament brackets?
:fatty:
-

:fatty:
I don't care if people fill out multiple brackets. What I find annoying, though, is when people brag about a bracket that is going to win them money despite getting only 1 Final Four team correct and despite losing their champion on Day 1 of the tourney.

ridiculous
-
Nothing I love more than the guy who picked every single one, of the first 2 rounds upsets in atleast one of his 25 brackets.
-
Anytime it there is "severe" weather in my area my dad will call me and say "did you see there is a thunderstorm warning, how bad is it", jfc dad I can look outside and tell there's a thunderstorm warning you don't have to call and tell me.
Also my grandparents are very cheap so if I call them we'll be on the phone for 20+ minutes, but if they call me it's usually a sub 6 minute call, can't waste that social security check on long distance phone calls I guess
-
What is a long distance phone call?
-
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE LIVED DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION!!!
-
wow, lots of butthurt bracketeers in this thread
-
My dad calls about the weather and I live 1000 miles away.
"Saw you guys had some storms headed your way" . . . Me: "Yeah dad, we've got weather radar and everything down here . . . crazy".
Always love it when he calls to tell me what to do when a Hurricane is coming . . . Dad, uh you've lived in Missouri and Kansas all your life, how many Hurricanes you been through there?

Exactly
-
I decided not to fill out any brackets this year, and it made the tourney much more enjoyable for me. Probably gonna go ahead and never fill out a bracket again.

Update! Letter from "weather grandma." And yes, I'm going to call her right now. :frown:
Hi Jeffrey,
Hope all is good with you. We still are not experiencing much of a spring season. There was one day last week that was about 78 degrees and humid. That felt GREAT! Unfortunately, the bad weather returned soon enough, and my daffodils just can't seem to catch a break. I'm looking forward to warm weather once and for all.
Schools were closed this whole week so I didn't work at all. I kept myself busy. I saw two movies, made candy, went out to eat and worked the snack bar at bingo.
What have you been doing? I haven't heard from you?
If you get a chance, call me. I know you are busy.
Love,
Grandma

I'm going to go ahead and complain about the weather. Rain forcasted for 8 of the next 9 days. :goodbyecruelworld:
How is a young, fit guy like me supposed to go on 6 mile runs every morning and 30 mile bike rides every evening if it doesn't stop raining?
-

Oh I don't doubt that but I didn't choose to live in Michigan, or Seattle, so I shouldn't be getting their weather.
-
I'm just kidding, anyway. And I think Seattle has pretty great weather, really.

A little OT but still somewhat related.
Some older women has been calling my phone and leaving messages periodically since around Christmas time apparently thinking she is leaving messages on her sons phone. I've meant to answer the phone to tell her its the wrong # but she always seems to call at the worst time and now its been too long I think for me to call her back and let her know its the wrong #.
It all started off with a simple hey we are one our way to your place be there in a bit. Then she let me know someones dad apparently died(she was very shocked and somewhat gossipy about this), next message weeks later they lost her check in the mail so they put a hold on it(she was very upset about this one), just last weeks message it snowed there last week and they canceled school(she went into great lengths about the weather), and the last phone call was a 30 second message about stamps.

Love, LOVE convos about the weather. Makes awkward pauses and exchanges with strangers more bearable. Here ppl just prattle on for hours about how amazing the climate is and how everybody else is/are dumbasses for not living here. Then they bitch about anything more than 1-2 days of sub-par weather just for effect. Fantastic. Would say weather conversation takes up 1/3 of my time, so it makes life easy. :pbj:

i agree with rusty. seattle's weather is near perfect, plus you get that early morning "jesus shower" and you're ready for the day

If you've ever worked in retail/food service etc. you hear nothing but weather talk all day everyday. 90% of it is bitching. So complaining about people who complain about the weather is perfectly acceptable.

If you work in retail/food service, you are just as bad as people who complain about people that complain about the weather.

Anyone experience this heat burst last night want to complain about it? I won't complain if you do, I'm kind of fascinated.
-
One of my buddies was actually outside with his wife during that heat burst. He tried to explain it to me the next day and I pretty much thought he was insane, until I read the article about later that afternoon.
-
sounds awesome

Quick, let's complain about people who complained about the heat burst!
