Just cleaned off my car and it was brutal. Been a long time since I've seen snow piled that high.

Re: The Bad News Thread
 

Sorry guys. We were on the slush line, 95 south of DC barely got an inch. But the temps hovered around freezing and made the roads icy as it switched from snow/rain into the night.

Re: The Bad News Thread
 

It's kinda cloudy here.

Kentucky tornados ... Ive read some first hand accounts, so scary.

Over 100 dead, 50,000 plus without power, id guess tens of thousands with no home.

Hopefully people have home ins to cover tornados. I deal with ins companies and they 100% took advantage of covid and the courts being closed and people not working .. I have zero expectation they wont do the 3 Ds here (delay, deny, defend).

Re: The Bad News Thread
 

We have a huge country and there is not 1 place where the Earth isn't trying to kill us.

Between blizzards, hurricanes, tsunamis, tornadoes, earthquakes, etc., we're all just waiting around to see who gets hit next by something.

Really sucks for all of those people, that was a crazy number of tornadoes in a short period of time.

Reading about the candle factory workers whose lives were put in danger when supervisors told them they risk losing their jobs if they left early - hope the lawsuits put them out of business.

Just so fucked up. The company essentlally holding employees hostage. They need to be sued into the stone age.

on 9/11 I was working a shit job for CompUSA (RIP), the store stayed up all day. I just thought it was amazing given what was going on that upper management made the decision that trying to sell some TVs was more important.

My office is on the lobby level of an office building. The bathrooms are locked but its lobby level and random people get in from time to time.

Went to take a piss and I see someone in the handicap shitter with some luggae bags.

go to take my piss and I hear some noises.

Guy was in there really enjoying himself.

I was hearing sounds you dont normally hear from a shitter.

"Uuuuummmmmm" like he just tasted some type of soup he never tried before and really liked it but he was surprised he liked it.

"yaahhhhh" like a mix between "yeah" and "ahh"

I couldnt get out of there fast enough

Maybe the soup was a little tart? Salty perhaps?

Lost one of my oldest dearest friends after a three year battle with ALS. He was a super successful model and athlete - played hockey at ND and was drafted by the Calgary Flames. Had the world by the balls. ALS is an absolutely unforgiving and awful disease. It was so bad at the end Im happy he is free. I cannot imagine what he went through. Being a prisoner in his own body.

Wow, sorry hear that. I had a coworker wife pass away suddenly several year ago…she was a health nut and just dropped dead…the absolute shock I felt for a couple weeks really put a lot into perspective.

Sorry. Especially since it seems like you got along with him. If my boss dropped dead it might be posted in the good news thread. Joking - but she is a really awful person and I definitely wouldn’t post it in the bad news thread.

Just read an article on a really fit guy surfer who drooped dead in the parking lot after a paddleboard sessions.

Just read an article about a healthy 13 year old girl who complained of a headache, died a few hours later from undiagnosed luekiemia that the doctors said the family had no chance of suspecting/knowing about.

Hurts hard seeing anyone under 25 pass away.

Your pic is a year old and it's happening again, Canadian wildfires.

Re: The Bad News Thread
 

My ex/now one of my best friends, Christina, who I moved to South Carolina with, is just absolutely going through the ringer right now. A couple months ago, she was laid off from her job of 15 years completely out of the blue (like hey you don't have a job tomorrow) and now she is going through some sort of health issue. So now she is moving back to CA to live with her family. She's basically had no energy for about 3 or 4 weeks. For some reason she's too stubborn to go to the doctor until she's back in CA. But that isn't until the end of the month. So, I don't have any idea what is wrong, but it has to be something pretty bad and potentially permanently life altering.

She could use as many prayers as she can get. Life is just not good for her right now. Can't imagine being in her position right now.
