That's what keeps us grounded. Just when you feel all shitty about something you come here and read a bit and realise that what you thought was a grumbly really isn't anything worth getting all stewed up about after all.

 Re: Random Forum Thoughts.
Also, if you make a 'Trivial Gripes' thread you should expect to be mocked without mercy.

I always feel like a jerk with no priorities when I want to complain about a computer problem just after someone says he/she is mourning his/her grandmother's passing. I know what you mean. I do hope that doesn't happen. The grumbly thread isn't about one-upping everyone with "oh woe is me", so don't feel bad about complaining about a minor thing. I believe we are all adult enough to accept that, even though Joe has a major problem, Jim might still be feeling down and want to vent a bit. Plus, c'mon, think where that ends... the "Dead Relatives Go Here" thread? Just say no.

Also, in my opinion, a grumbly is a grumbly no matter the scale.

The mead, though...I've always been blessed with being able to get good mead whenever I want. Damnit. Now I'm reminded that after I move, my brewer is going to be too far away from me for it to be worthwhile. I'll have to go back to store-bought mead.
