1. Yes, I know... and I don't like it much
I have to drive home to pick up the boys and then bring them back for the hockey game.

That SUCKS!

It was nice of my boss to give us 3 tickets, though.

Not really, but those words came into my head when I read your post. Counting Crows I think. Damn you, now it's stuck in my head!

5. If you had gone pretty much your whole life without snow...
you'd be a Texan and still complain in August when it's been over 100 degrees for 54 straight days. :)

18. And there will be more construction to fix all the damn potholes
that are opening up. The roads are a mess! I saw one on Mass. Ave that could swallow a compact car.

How much do you want to bet we got right into summer and skip spring? Everything will bloom at once, allergies will be horrible, BUT it will be better that this hellish winter!

Nice to see you posting! :hi:

20. Yup
Did that a few years ago! Winter/summer! It was horrible...I need to get the front end of my car aligned, but will wait until they patch more of the pot holes.

thought it would be safe to post my first in a fellow masshole's thread! :D

23. "It's the will of Allah..."
Common Middle Eastern expression...

"There's no hot water!"
"Insh'Allah..."

"The car bomb destroyed my laptop!"
"Insh'Allah.."

31. When the Groundhog sees his shadow,
it's supposed to mean 6 more weeks of winter.

MY SO was born on Groundhog's day and told me he didn't see his shadow. I asked him if any of his groundhog friends had seen theirs and he said he didn't know... he didn't see any of the "guys"

Long, nutty story short, it appears that Puxtanony (sp?) Phil was right.

BTW- My SO is named Phil. :crazy:
