OT: Thread About Nothing (TaN #...lost count)

[My3Sons]

Was upstate NY for the weekend. Coming back to NYC on a bus from Syracuse. Had to switch coaches in Binghampton. Binghampton has got to be the most depressing-looking city I've seen in the USA sofar. Syracuse didnt look that great either but had a good bar scene.

And their football team stinks. Got totally pwned by Florida State. 1st college football game i saw live.

Who is going to be the interim bench boss?

Ya, Binghamton is not great. I had to switch buses there when I was going to Upstate NY for college.

One time I had to walk a few blocks at 11 pm between two bus stations. I had a suitcase with me, and it was a pretty rough looking area. A car pulled up and started pacing me, and the driver rolled down the window and asked "what's in the bag?" I didn't answer, but just looked straight ahead and started walking faster.

I was very glad that there were people on the next block, and the guy in the car peeled off and left me alone. Holy shit.

You can only have one. Edit: I'll elaborate. You're stranded on a deserted island for 5 years. You have access to the Beatles anthology or every season Seinfeld. That is the only media you have access to. Nothing else. What would you choose?

That may be the toughest dilemma I've ever seen. How can someone be so cruel and force you to choose one of them?

Will I get in trouble if I talk about throwing Molotovs through neighbors windows?

Some of the most obnoxious people now live in my neighborhood. People that decide at 10:59 at night that they want to start playing music. It’s not like they’ve been playing it all night, but randomly at 10:59 they have to turn it on. It’s really loud and vibrating all through here. I don’t even know exactly what house it’s coming from but it’s so loud that it’s gotta be giving the people playing it tinnitus if it’s being played from a confined space. I’m sure it will be playing for quite a few hours. I was hoping it was just a car idling with the music cranking, but that’s clearly not it.

And then the people who shot off fireworks at least once every hour on New Years until 4:00 AM.

And then the f***ers that put their flashers on through my bedroom window at 3:00 AM when they were moving in. I don’t think those people really meant to be obnoxious.

These are the same oblivious people who walk through a grocery store blasting music on their shitty phone speakers. As if anyone other than YOU wants to hear whatever horrible inappropriate crap you are listening to. Sorry you have to deal with that crap Bleed. At our last house we lived in, our next door neighbors that had 2 kids under 4 years old started having parties every weekend that would last till 4am or so and they were nice enough each time to bring the party out onto their patio and backyard. Now mind you, my wife and I both had to work the next early morning (she was 5 or 6 months pregnant) and these people were so loud it sounded like they were outside of my bedroom windows and in my backyard. I knocked on their door when this happened for a 3rd weekend in a row and they blew me off like I was in the wrong for trying to stop them for having fun.

Sometimes I really dislike people.

Easily Seinfeld. I heard the Beetles come packaged with Yoko Ono.

Honestly, your situation sounds a lot worse than anything I've experienced. The people doing this are quite a bit away from me. In fact, I think they may even be on another block. I think they may be something like across the street from me, 3 or 4 houses down and behind them. I'd imagine the people that actually live next door to them are really suffering.

They were at it again on Saturday night. As soon as the Devils game ended, I turned the volume on the TV down and all I could hear was BOOMMMPPPP! BOOOMMMPPPP! BOOMMMPPPPPPPP!!!! BOOOMMMPPPPPPP!!!! I even kept hearing it after they turned it off. It got to the point that I was happy to hear a car coming down the road and splashing through the puddles because it drowned it out for a few seconds.

To be fair, they did turn it sometime around midnight and probably even before 11:00 one night (not the night I made that post obviously) they were doing it.

The fireworks were way worse on New Years. They weren't at it on 4th of July and if they were, they ended it fairly early and blended in with everything else going on. Every time you thought they were done for the night, 30 minutes later another went off. And they may have went 40 minutes in between, but I think the last one finally stopped at or shortly after 4:00 AM. It was scaring my dog. She was scared shitless and acting crazy all night. I think people should be able to blow off fireworks, just have decency to not do it all night. Some people actually did have to get up and go to work the next day, like me.

Then the people across the street (who've already moved out it appears) that were moving in at 2:00-3:00 AM decided to turn their flashers on, which were coming right through my bedroom window. I don't think they meant to be dicks, but I don't think they're very smart either that they really think they need to turn the flashers on while they're parked on the side of a residential street at 3:00 AM that hardly anybody is driving down at that time of night.

I still find it amazing that people like myself are aware of how annoying you can be to neighbors and avoid acting like this but other people act like they are the only people in that world.

That couple ended up getting divorced and sold their house anyways. A year or so later we moved to a different house in the same town and decided to get some property so we could no longer have next door neighbors like that.

Could be worse, you could be living next to that looney with the kids and dogs that lives in my house.

I hate laugh tracks so much that I find it impossible to watch the vast majority of these shows. With all these streaming services I wish they would give the option to watch these older shows without them.

I got a cold in like mid-October, and after a few days it went away but I still had an occasional cough. Starting late last week, I felt like I had it again but like 100x worse and have basically just been sleeping and 'Quiling for the past three or four days. Today I still have a cough but am feeling human again.

My wife had something like this a couple weeks ago. Cold symptoms went away quickly otherwise, but she had a lingering cough. Now I also have one but it is not as bad. A few cough drops is enough to make me feel ok.

Something's going around for sure, but we tested and it's not Covid. We don't know if it's the flu or RSV, but we think we got it from our son's daycare.

 

[lightsout]

RSV is horrible right now. Both of my kids had it and now I have a terrible cold that I can only assume is the same. Pretty much every place around me is out of DayQuil and NyQuil. It's absurd.

Do we know whatever happened to BenedictGomez? Did he move to Utah?

Lots of long-time posters seemed to have slowly disappeared over the last few years.

Ok, I will go back into obscurity now.

Chilly fall evening. Shepherd's pie or Cheese steak hero? My daughter made the former (down in Philly, go figure) we made the latter (Sussex, NJ).

I make a pretty good veggie shepherd's pie.

My gf's niece's 2 month old was in and out of ICU due to RSV.

Some tense times, but sounds like all is good now.

You know you don't need to hunt to get antlers. Deer shed their antlers every year. Many people make a sport out of shed collecting.

RSV seems to have gotten more virulent over the past couple of years. I think all of my kids had it at some point but I don't recall it being dangerous. Anecdotally it seems much worse now.
