Well we already know that we have a big crowd from Burma....

Sorry to change the subject here.

There were a bunch of posts about weather and people giving away their locations.



NOT ADVISED.



Yes, most people here are good, wonderful, caring, etc. But there are others hanging out here as well. Some with not the best intentions. Protect yo self

So the one frum guy in Burma, is allowed to announce himself to the world as the only (the next word will be triggering) yeshivish guy in the country. As if we won't know he is instantly, next time we happen to be in Burma (if we even know what continent it's on)

Yes this is a qualified grouch.
Thank You Eerie

(and we know where you live from here)

Well, dear grouchers, today I כאילו won 4 cents in the lottery. Along with those who live near me.

Well, that tells me you don't live near lake EERIE...

Really? מהיכא פליפפון תיתי???
 I seem to recall someone (ahem) saying something about giving away locations, savin yo self, or some shnazz like that…

When i get home from shul on Friday night, I see my 5 year old son and say “Good Shabbos, Shmerel*!” (*name changed for privacy purposes)
Shmerel* immediately says “Totty, DON’T look in the pantry!!!”

I’m sure you can imagine what followed…

Reminds me of one morning recently, when my son Gimpel* (name changed for privacy purposes) came to tell me, "Tatty, that Chanukah present that you hid in the closet on the top shelf, I have no clue where it went too" 



You can all imagine what followed...

Sorry, the name you chose is too close for comfort, Totty

Office holiday parties. So many grumps to unpack.

1) I hate social events. 2) Everyone gets dressed up and drinks nonstop. I hate when there's alchohol and I can't drink. 3) They're all fressing on steak and seafood and there's no kosher food, there's kosher food and they mess up the seals, or they get good, kosher food and my Rav told me not to eat there at all. 4) I hate social events.

I agree with 1) and 4)

So…

After a really long week (and don’t even get me started on Friday), when we finally finish the seudah and get the kids to bed, while my wife and I are actually spending some time together, at which point the baby wakes up again and is awake for close to two hours, I finally get to sleep. Which is interrupted, of course, by the baby waking up. Because that isn’t enough, my wife wakes me up by telling me about her nightmare that I was getting a second wife (why it’s in HER dreams? *shrugs *), and then she’s upset (and still not fully over) that I didn’t commiserate with her enough. 

Let’s get this straight. SHE had a nightmare about her (in her own head) not being good enough. She requires extreme validation at who-knows-what-o’clock a.m., and is pished (pardon the French) off to no end. I mean, say what???

Yeah it's old problem if wives having dreams and us husbands having to excuse ourselves and beg forgiveness for something they dreamt up. 
My wife usually has dreams on Friday night that involve a short segment of everything she saw and heard over the last week all combined into one episode. It makes for some hilarious stories.

Listen, buddy. You grouch pretty good. But let me tell you, when my wife told me that she dreamt that I was leading a whole movement to remove cherem d'Rabbeinu Gershom, I knew good and well why she had that nightmare....
