When you grow up on the Eastern Shore, bugs are unpleasant at times and just a fact of life. Having said that, I fully endorse your harshest mitigation strategies. I also want ( most of) you to know I truly appreciate what you and other knowledgeable people freely give to all of us. It is fascinating and educational. I am learning much from the contributors here. I spend a lot of time outdoors and I look pretty much to this forum on a regular basis for guidance… That’s definitely has to qualify as some kind of disorder, though, I have learned from reading….. Cheers for spring, or whatever happens next.

Aaaaand now back to our regularly scheduled downcasts.

“I am in effect a pauper living in a cultural backwater, intimately acquainted with ramen noodles and such.” Eloquently stated, sir.

In this winter?! Is that necessary?

It’s the wave after the stage-setting waves that began 1000 pages ago…

Is that necessary?!

That’s unnecessary.

I was simply making an observation you decided was unnecessary. No one's opinion here is necessary. I said nothing about you or PSU. I said nothing disrespectful. I don't care whether you "understand" what I'm talking about. No worries, moderator. You've successfully made my point for me, for discerning readers.

That's indisputably true; I was making an attempt at humor in the downtrodden depressed, discussion of failure, the bitter bickering and backbiting. The understandable exasperation of some who make great contributions/observations to the seamy underbelly of the society of the board. Humorous to me, anyway, as on any given day, the entire catalog of human behavior is to be found within these pages. Are some people here intolerant/snobby? Maybe, maybe not. It's a great place to come learn/join the unsanity. Just don't make any unnecessary remarks. Unless you're necessary. I'm certainly not. Necessary.

Oh my, someone used an insult!? But we’re all allowed to use the term “fuck.” Moderate moderation by the moderator is seemingly most moderate when the commenter is a member who is held in higher favor. Egotism here in this forum runs pretty high, becomes even more palpable in lean times. The moderator indicates that no one but certain people have actual standing to be creative or provide opinions. Bunch of bs. The favorite-playing and snark…not just because it hasn’t/won’t snow. And the moderator will either delete my opinion or, along with others, retort harshly to publicly shame the person deemed offending the “order”. That was refreshing! Have a nice warm day!

I got my .2 here in the lowlands before Groundhog Day. What’s the problem? Oh that’s right, it’ll never snow around here again because, well, uh, you know, because of…….. *censored*

You are a quality poster. Maryland is a trash state. Okay, thanks for letting us know.

34, 17 observed flakes in Chestertown this morning.

/\ This x 1000. Excellent observations, so true! Staying out of the emotional morass in which most of humanity wallows…. A major key to unlock happiness.

Sure is. She told me to elf myself, rightfully so, because I was having a little fun with Cousin It in the obs thread.

Oh look, it's a grinchy Grinch that hates everything and everyone. Bless its tiny little heart.

Of course none of this whatsoever constitutes “reality.” Look out the window, there’s reality. Look at the long range models, there’s a different reality—-hope, at best, most often followed by despair.

This is simply outstanding!! Well done!

Nothing will impress hillbilly rednecks like a yurt, doubtless. You’ll be like Lawrence of Arabia to them, especially if you buy some goats. 38 clear and calm.

Lol, and I'm pretty sure Ji and others here admire your commitment to public snarkery.

Snowfan you are right over the target, I wandered in there a few times and quickly “met” some people who are just insufferable and not worth interacting with. Name calling and personal insult immediately rather than discussion. Not a forum, plenty full of crazy. My brief comment history there speaks for itself.

Hillbilly from the country here with a couple tips: This viewpoint won’t endear country folks anywhere, and I’ll just bet they’ll be smart enough to figure out who’s a pretender. People from all walks of life can recognize those who believe themselves superior to others. “Hillbillies” hate that attitude, and hate phony ostentatious behavior. People who openly imply that people from the country are stupid rubes are, in fact, are thoroughly demonstrating their own ignorance. Country folks know where stupid people come from. It surely isn’t from the country. You probably should just sell your property and dwell among smart and classy people such as yourself. Bless your heart.

Last evening, after the sun set, I heard a few spring peepers for the first time this spring. In the twilight two nights back, I heard several woodcock doing their fantastic courtship displays, but it was too dark to spot them. Spring is making serious headway in the region this week and next.

GFS say get your lawn mower ready for action. Beware the bugs of March. Sincerely, Capt. Obvious

The handle "Weather Won't", which intends zero disrespect toward Will, is just hilariously true in its ultimate context as a statement on the forum as to the plight of the mid-Atlantic.
