Friends of mine just moved to New Hampshire. The week of the move, the mom posted on Facebook that their daughter would get to build a snowman.That's like my daughter telling me sadly that she's never seen snow.
My reply was, "THIS WEEK!?!?!"
Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

When I went to see the Tigers at Comerica Park, I was shocked at how flat the surrounding neighborhood was when I looked out from the upper deck concourse.That's like my daughter telling me sadly that she's never seen snow.
When I took the train to Fargo for a convention, I was fucking amazed at how flat everything past Ohio is. It's like, "Where the fuck is the horizon?" I can kind of understand why there are so many flat earthers in the midwest - because for them, that's all they can see. And also they're morons.
A friend from the Midwest came to visit and had the opposite problem - all the hills made her feel claustrophobic or something. My Uncle Cancer (Phil, but he's had 6 different battles with various cancers, so...) and his wife visited a decade or so ago and said, "Well we didn't know you lived in the mountains!" and we're like, "We don't." But they live on the coastal Virginia plains so to them, it's mountains.
For full disclosure, you know that "funny map" of NJ that went viral a while back? I'm in the "hill people" area.
Edit: This one, made by a Rutgers student as far as I'm told.

I love their Peproni Rolls.
But ohhh gooood the indigestion afterwards. SO GREASY. Like, bite off one end and squeeze out a into a shot glass greasy.
I didn't get it yesterday, but the specialty item at the Black Bears ballpark is the Loaded Pepperoni Roll...
Basically a chili cheese pepperoni roll.
Humidity in SK is normally around 20-25%.
I dip myself in a vat of moisturizer every morning.
I need to move out there! I would have no hives just for existing.
You must send me one. Your Queen commands it.[DOUBLEPOST=1499731389,1499731346][/DOUBLEPOST]I didn't get it yesterday, but the specialty item at the Black Bears ballpark is the Loaded Pepperoni Roll...

I have a barn.
I found lightweight summer hoodies so I can cover myself in the steroid cream for my hives and wear long sleeves so I don't get it everywhere. I had to find the lightweight ones because I was sweating in the heavy ones which just makes more hives
I've seen schadenfreude, but i've never seen the summer child thing until this thread.
I'll add schrodinger's cat to the list of internet things that wore out their welcome.

I feel like it's in every other comment on Reddit or imgur. "Conflate" was another word that went through a rash of internet overuse a while back, but it seems like it died down.

Eeaagghhh everybody at work is having an attack of the dumbshits. Everybody wants shit that doesn't exist.
"Can I have a listing of all the added value that ran on this estimate?" "... That estimate covers 4 stations and has been running since March, you want me to pull ALL of that?" "Yes please"
20 minutes of work later
"...There was no added value ordered on that estimate."
"Oh. Thanks!"
YOU SENT *ME* THAT ORDER, YOU DON'T REMEMBER AND COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TO CHECK IF IT ACTUALLY HAD IT BEFORE YOU SENT ME ON A WILD GOOSE CHASE?

"Uh, no..."
"Fine... (clickita clickita type type type wait 5 mins)... I'm only showing them running 2 spots."
"Wull... wull... there's supposed to be 3!"

Hah, that reminds me of one year, when we had JUST bought a new radio station to add to our lineup in november but weren't sure what format we were going to go with on it yet, so we decided to make it "Radio Christmas" thru the end of December. We hyped it up as the station you could tune to at any time for christmas music. With a demo target on families.
Somehow the "Thanksgiving song" by Adam Sandler got put in the rotation.
You know, the one that has the line "Wrap turkey up in aluminum foil, my brother likes to masturbate with baby oil."
Well, it played a few times before people started calling in and complaining. So we took it out of rotation on that station (it was still a good occasional gag hit on the rock station, where things could be more edgy).
Or so I thought.
It showed up again the next day, played, more calls.
So I got together with the guy making the music log for that station, made sure it was removed from all the clocks for that station.
Next day, there it is again.
We deleted it ENTIRELY out of the music scheduling software.
Next day, THERE IT IS AGAIN.
Finally just ended up deleting the song out of the automation, regardless of what the Rock station might have wanted, because I ain't got time for any more of that.
That's a really catchy song.
My wife told me she'd never seen snow, so I took her to Canada in January. One trip through Alberta later, and she's seen enough snow for a lifetime.That's like my daughter telling me sadly that she's never seen snow.

There was such a backlash against widgets and thingies on websites that now the sites where those were actually useful have given them up, too, in favor of static sites. E.g. tourism sites used to have webcams and weather widgets. Those SHOULD be on those site. You don't need them on other pages, but they actually make sense if, say, I'm looking up the official site for Beach X or Park Y.
I loved building snow forts, tunneling through massive piles made by the plows, throwing snowballs at the girls, and tobogganing down the hill with my stuffed ti- okay, somewhere here I obviously mixed up my childhood memories with a comic strip. But yeah, snow is awesome.
Back when I started my new biologic infusion my doctor told me that we had some room to increase the dosage and increase the frequency of my treatments. I am on the treatment now as often as I can have it which is twice as often as the average person. I'm still having a very sharp drop off in effectiveness before my next treatment each time, so at my specialist today I was hoping that we could up my dosage. No...I have lost weight this year and no longer qualify for anything other than the minimum dose. I guess it's based on weight and she ran the numbers at my last appointment and realized that I couldn't qualify for an increase any longer. She didn't even bother to do any calculations today because she said that she could tell by looking at me that I've lost more so it's even more of a no go. I guess this would be a good time to be a huge dude.
She did prescribe me a different medication to block a different type of histamine that will hopefully help and she wrote the referral escalation on behalf of my family doctor while I was with her today and it's already been sent. How the hell has he not been able to manage that over a seven month period?!?
