    Complaint: Duke lost. But at least they tried and it was a real squeeker.

    Non-Complaint: At least there will be one ACC team (Virginia) in the final four

    ...Complaint: and Sparty is there as well.  One of them will end up in the championship final.

    Not sure which I dislike more, Duke or MSU, so that game was a tough choice. Should be Michigan vs. Virginia, but Sparty had the Wolverines' (who were the better of the two) number all season.  Crikey I'd almost rather see Ohio State instead of MSU, and I have no love for them either.

    ...after two very lovely spring days around 70°, back to cool and wet for the next week and a half.

    At least no frozen water from the sky.

    There's still snowcover on the ground around Steven's Point WI and it's currently snowing in Reykjavik.

    I tried to get a cheaper plan for audible but got charged for the more expensive monthly plan.  It took about 25 of my funds.

    Complaint:  After several beautiful spring days there's an inch of snow on my porch again.  Winter's over damn it!  Get with the plan.... frown

    Rained here last night.  Before I went to bed, I looked out and saw a thin layer of ice on my car!  Sprummer hasn't really started yet.  (we only get two seasons these days...Sprummer and Wintum).

    That's all I use now, for quite a few years.  Those other syrups are mostly high fructose corn syrup!  The highest level of real maples syrup in any of those is the Vermont Maid...and that's only 3%.

    Yep, real 100% maple syrap.  None of that fakish watered down stuff from the big city.  I grew up and now live again, where it's made.  I helped make it when I was 5 years old in the middle of the last century.  For many years I watched big long, wide sectioned trays of sap boiling for hours over a roaring wood furnace, in a steamy "sugar shed" with my head enveloped by the thick heady odor of hot maple syrup.  Mmmm... Continually putting cold thin clear watery sap in one end and pulling out hot thick dark syrup out the other.   And to spoon out a little of the still boiling final product and drizzle it over a clean white snowball... Mmmmm  "sugar on snow".  And that was back when the makers still used galvanized buckets hung on freshly drilled, free dripping spouts every year.  And even used horses to drag the sledge with a big gathering tank through the woods to empty the buckets into.  That's all gone now.  Trees are "piped" together with long hoses, and snowmobiles are used in the woods instead of horses, and the big wood fired boiling furnaces are converted to natural gas.  But the syrup is still the same.  Trees don't know what year it is.  Yeah the real stuff is expensive but it's worth it.  A personal luxury that I refuse to give up.  And besides, I shouldn't be eating raw sugar anyway so a small bottle lasts me all winter.  Mmmm, waffles & hotcakes, or drizzled over a mushy bowl of oatmeal or mushy GrapeNuts cereal soaked a small amount of hot water.  Mmmmm. yes

    I called the customer service number for the metro card but their telephone menu is broken.  I guess I need to go to their office this week or next week.

    ...yeah I only buy 100% pure Maple Syrup.  Costs twice as much, but I don't need to use as much, and it isn't as overly sticky as the mainstream HFCS brands.

    Not an artwork of mine, but a cute crossover fanart I found on Tumblr;   blending "Slime Rancher" with "Monster Hunter" haha. I wish this was a thing since it's too adorable for words.

    Yeah, real maple syrup is like gold... I’m sure everyone has heard of the syrup heists and assorted thefts (which in case anyone hasn’t, I’m actually not making up)...

    I’m assuming at some point real maple syrup will be like real cola, a super high cost flavoring that is reserved for the super wealthy or for ceremonial use amongst the people living within the region where it grows... I’m not sure what ceremonies Canadians and Vermontians would use the syrup for... I’m guessing mostly hockey and affordable healthcare for Canada and if Steven King (I know he is from Maine) has taught us anything about small town life in extreme northern states, summoning demons and raising the dead.

    Really... the super wealthy, large corporations and demon summoners spoil everything for regular people.

    I am trying out a new keyboard that just came in today.  It arrived right as we were leaving to go to the day programs.  I think I was supposed to leave it in the van but I brought it with me to see if I like it or not.  Also I think I am not able to return it anyway.  I do not get these stupid rules they put on me.

    It is raining complaint.  I am stuck in the van because someone lost the key for the house and we are locked out. Or maybe someone mistaken the wrong key as the house key and now it is not known where the right key is.  Unless it is in the house.  We are in the van because it is raining outside and we need to wait somewhere dry until someone comes help us.

    A real estate company is interested in buying my house.  I don't want to move to another house or an apartment.

  • XyetztXyetzt Posts: 27,485

    Still stuck in the van waiting for someone to come and get us into the house.  That was 4:15 and now it is almost 5pm and still stuck outside of the house.  Where are they?

    Just how badly do they want your house?  Play your cards well. enlightened  It could work out nicely.  Watch out for scams.  Use a lawyer.  Yours, not theirs!  If you're concerned about the hassles of moving, then add the price for professional movers into the cost of your house.  Let others pay for others doing the work.

    Complaint:  April is my 6-month medical checkup month.  Dentist, cardiologist, urologist, and GP.  So, budget gets stressed in April.  But today I get an email from the Pittsburgh Symphony announcing this weekend's performance of Tchaikovsky's 5th Symphony.  Remember that's the piece I missed in Buffalo in the middle of February because of weather frown.  Now I have another chance at it.  But also remember Pittsburgh is my bad downtown experience with unbelievable bumper to bumper traffic into downtown Pittsburgh on a Sunday afternoon (because of the football stadium just across the river), and many many bridges leading out of downtown and onto empty roads that run for miles over bridges and through tunnels to get you outside of town and you have to turn around and crawl your way back into town in the bumper to bumper inbound traffic again making you too late for the concert. sad   Plus I don't dare risk having the tickets and parking pass mailed to me because time is so short.  That means that I have to find a place to park on the street (impossible), walk to the ticket office, pick up my symphony ticket and my parking pass before I can move my car into the parking garage for the afternoon. (*sigh*)  Prime tickets are $99, not so prime tickets are $76, plebian seats are $56 and tickets for seats out in left-field are $20 (but you may have to drill a hole in the column in front of you and bring your binoculars and audio amplifier).  And Pittsburgh is a 3 hour drive away.  As much a I want to go and finally get to experience the Heinz Hall concert hall, and finally get to hear Tchaikovsky's 5th, I think I may have to pass again. crying

    I am trying to complain but I am getting distracted by a game and the not always responding DS.  I am trying to do a render but the scene is not finished set up.
