The Coffee House

Runnah, you're obviously getting the same system that New Brunswick is forecast to get today - up to 18". Earlier in the week, the long-range forecasts was for us (in the Montreal area) to get about 10" - and everyone (or so it seems) rushed off to change their tires to winter tires. Looking outside right now - clear skies and sunny. But to the east and south - heavy, dense clouds. We missed this bullet. You, at the very least a glancing blow. Hopefully it won't last long.

Not necessarily. Usually the pattern is for a dump or three before Christmas, with all of that melting away.

I think that was the storm that they thought might hit us but it seems to have completely missed the Tri State area. It has been very windy today, mid-40s but bright sunshine.

just stopped by to say

Hi!


making lunch... and no, no trout this time

7 pages already

Well, hello, sweetie! How are you doing this afternoon?

just came back from a child's birthday... feel free to judge me but I don't like those... I also don't like to small talk with other mothers who are just talking about children

yes, I'm a bad person

No, definitely not a bad person. "Parents" who go on and on about their kids are a bore, and aren't doing their kids any favours by focusing so much on their precious little creations.

When we were having kids, my wife stayed home to look after them, and joined a few neighbourhood get-togethers where there were other mothers getting out of the house. Unfortunately many could only talk of their kids and they would end up boring my wife practically to tears. Fortunately, she found a few women who wanted to talk about other things in life and with them she formed what is to date a long friendship. The kids have grown up and moved away, but those friendships have continued. One's intelligence and curiosity about the world doesn't drop to infantile levels just because one has a baby.

Actually the same applies to people who want to talk "shop" (work) in non-work settings. Some of that is ok, but lots of that just shows that the person has few outside interests.

I understood this like I would get along with your wife


work.... hm... yeah, just the same for me..

long meetings, lectures, conferences and such... When the break comes I want that break to be just what it suppose to be. THE BREAK! Instead people approach me non stop and continue to talk about the same thing we're taking the break from!
After some time I actually started to avoid people meaning that I would take my coffee and go sit to the farest table... No. Someone would always approach and try to start that kind of conversation.

There is one guy I'm always happy to see on my business trips. Smart, funny and totally ok. Breakfast, lunch, coffee... never been bored. When I see him on an event I know I'm saved .

When my father was thinking of immigrating to Canada, he asked what's the weather like. He was told: 9 months of winter and 3 months of bad skiing. He thought it was a joke. By the time he found out, it was too late to go back.

one of my best friends and her bf are moving to Canada in the spring. I'm and in the same time

I'm happy to watch zoomba from the sidelines, but I'm not a fan of doing it, sorry!

But maybe I'll put on some music and dance around my living room tomorrow night instead!

Just got back from a walk around one of the local ponds. I'm going through the shots in LR. I'm disappointed in the focus ina bunch of them, so I'll have to figure that out.
