But, it would've been so much more satisfying if it had HP undercurrents. i hate horror movies. (GROUCH ALERT)

Well, I love horror movies, (for some reason?) the gorier the better.

And it's worthwhile to note that this was the watered down version. The original was so bloody and violent, it actually risked turning me on. 

VOLDY,

Way back when i was a 14 y/o innocent bucher, a bad influence took me to the theater. It was my first movie and it was "Amityville"............... 
For week afterwards i woke up at 3:15 petrified.............. so no horror movies for me. The only thing i remember is the semi-adult scene in the beginning.

So first the babysitter said she’s only going to be working for the rest of the summer, as opposed to the year frikkin following it. Then she says that she’s stopping after this week. (So she’s sick or something, and not getting better. Therefore???)
​Then, the replacement that we found for next year informs us that it’s no longer going to work for her. So we need another another babysitter. 
To top off my day, I just realized that the load of post-9 days laundry that I threw in before running off to night seder had no detergent. Only those scent-boosting beads. And the dryer stuff is in the dryer, and the hanging stuff (which, derech agav, I’d fully support a ban against. Imagine a life where everything can go in the dryer! I’d barely even know what to Grouch about.) is all hung. (Hanged? I can never remember.) Do I tell my wife? Lol. As if.

Snow, snow, and more snow.
Steady 5 degrees out there so that the very ice is doubly frozen.
The car is crummy and filthy with whatever combination of snow and anti-snow chemicals.
The wiper fluid is frozen, so I can't see out. My attempt at cleaning the windshield ended with frozen Windex on it.
My fingers are chapped and my whole body is dry and itchy, and where the heck is that draft coming from?!
:pinch: Warning: Spoiler!

Heat, heat, and more oppressive heat.

Steady 91 degrees out there. Or is my car's thermometer stuck at that number?

"Let's go see how our kin are faring in the Catskills!"
Let's not. They're the ones playing stupid games; in a perfect world, they'd get to relish the stupid rewards all by themselves. But the world is far from perfect, almost as far as from here (wherever your here is) till some hashemforsaken Thompsonville, and so we use the asphalt, count the orange cones, and become traffic on the good ol 17. And then we support a local dysfunctional business by waiting for 35 minutes for a blasted pie.

I'm sweating buckets, and for the love of the Almighty, close the darn door! We don't need to cool off the whole street.

One evening last week, I get home after a long day at work to find that my wife had almost-ready shakshuka, meaning the sauce was prepared and the only thing needed was to put the eggs in, salt them and ensure they get cooked nicely. She asked if I could please take care of that and I said “Sure!”. And so I did. While trying to handle the screeching baby. Shoyn. 
I’m telling you, it was looking amazing and smelling even better. 
As it reaches perfection, my wife asks if I can put the baby to bed, because she’s “had enough”. Sigh. Being a good husband, I said “okay”. (Notice the lack of “!”) Before getting him into pjs I check his diaper and, lo and behold! it was dirty! (No wonder he was unhappy). I change his diaper, trying my best to tune out his ear-splitting screaming. 
As I’m getting him into his pjs, my wife comes in the bedroom- eating the steaming yumminess-, and says “can you please do something about the screaming? It’s really disturbing my supper.”
I honestly thought she was being cute. And then I saw her face, now I’m a believer, and I realized she was legitimately upset at me. 

TD I logged in here and came to see grouch updates. I stumbled upon this lovely insight into your mikdash meat. 
I don't know how you'll take this but I genuinely giggled at this story. Not one of those where you respond with an LOL or maybe an additional little grin. No little chuckle for me. It was full blown laughter. And not 'with you' but definitely 'at you'
Like seriously, it's hilarious. 
No one tells you marriage will be so much fun! 
Aaahhhh the joys of a seeing a woman shredding the teeniest tiniest bit of whatever ego and dignity we have left. 
It's what motivates me every day. 
Such joy. Such genuine joy. 
I didn't believe I could be clean
Until I actually got clean.
If I can do it, you can too!

As KOTG (king of the grouchers) I can award myself GOTW (grouch of the week) 
To heck with it. 
As KOTG, I'll do two. And you all deserve it. 

1) I met Tzitzis dude yesterday and I watched him eat a piece of kugel. 

2) I'm coming up to a year of kosherness, and have not seen any real improvements in my bedroom life. In many ways, it has gotten much much worse.
I don't want eitzos, I don't want sympathy. 
This is the grouchery. 
Any kind words will NOT BE TOLERATED.

What the hell have you done to make you think like you deserve a better bedroom life? Oh, so you haven't watched porn in a year?
