It never snows where I live, although while it's currently mid-summer we've had quite a lot of rain recently. The local waterfalls were looking pretty good on the weekend:

Stories like this are so scary.

My GF's mother fell 3 weeks ago and broke her left collar bone and right humerus right near the shoulder. She's 86 and my GF is staying with her, which is difficult.
Her no-account brother lives about 10 miles away and refuses to come and help shovel out is 86 year old injured mother.
Well, he can go screw, I'll gladly drive 45 miles to go shovel her out.

hate things like this. Dad passed away and it was mum living in the family home alone after his passing. I helped arrange some cleaning companies to come in simply because her mobility made it difficult to look after what was once simple cleaning.
I then mentioned to mum I`d be happy to arrange for a company that provides help doing groceries, taking clients to appointments etc....she said it wasn`t necessary as my sisters partner did all that for her for only $30. I was livid finding out my mother was being charged by her own family to ensure she had food and made all appointments. Not lying here, I went online the next morning and had a flight late the next afternoon to Ottawa, rented a car, showed up on my sisters door because she refused to answer any of my calls or emails and I unloaded on both her and her loser partner.
even worse, mum`s condition worsened to the point where my sister was left with mum`s bank card and access to pay her bills online. After mum passed, I asked the lawyer to request bank statements from the 4-5 months my sister had this access and when he found out what she was using my mother`s card to do, he deducted almost 10 grand from my sisters inheritance and mentioned to her that if she`d like to dispute this to be careful, he could have deducted 20 grand easily. My sis and I haven`t spoken in years, just can`t forgive her for this behavior

Ha ha. There's a couple of things at work here. The state border closures during the pandemic have been quite contentious, and the Australian Lamb Council is known for making grand, over the top ads promoting the buying and eating of lamb. Put the two together and this is the end result. It's a little much but still quite funny.
After reading the sibling horror stories of @TD Charlie, @Roll 4 Lines & @ODAAT I will never complain about my sister ever again.

That looks delicious. I've been air frying so much lately. Handmade chips, chicken cutlets, fries and donuts

Just spent an hour humping slush around the driveway. Vagabond was in his car smoking the entire time lol
CEO sent out a letter today pimping our organizations “opening day” for two new covid immunization sites. I found out about it last Wednesday, workflows and data flows were still unknown, my boss suggested i code for it as if our team would be to responsible for building everything from scratch. So i did. Late Friday the workflow had major issues but ahhhh, TD Charlie has already coded for every scenario =]
I did have to make some changes half way through day 1, but it went well considering requirements, timeline, and criticality.
I don’t mean to toot my own horn but beep freakin beep. It didn’t really dawn on me until the lady friend gave me a hug and said she was proud of me, and that over 60 people took a Covid shot Monday afternoon because of a big effort I was a big part of.
i don’t always suck
