Let's name ourselves after the nadir of a classic band.I actually LOLed at the band name.
everyone hated it.Harrah's on the Strip used to have a very good dueling pianos show with smoking hot twins. Don't know what happened to it.
Maybe if your weekly thrill is a jigsaw puzzle.

I'm on my 3rd allies because of his BS. If he's in a thread, I'm out.Is Joe trolling the board? He started a thread about Che Guevara and said not to talk about politics in it.
to be fair- the thread isn't "about" che guevara- it's about whether you know who he is. I figured it was joe trying to get to the bottom of most important questions of the 21st century- whether people have been buying the t-shirt as a political or fashion statement. sometimes, ceci n'est pas une pipe.Is Joe trolling the board? He started a thread about Che Guevara and said not to talk about politics in it.
WTF is wrong with people.Went to a celebration of life for my friend's dad yesterday. Beautiful day, great spot on the water. His kids and old friends told a bunch of stories, and everyone generally had a good time...until they got home and found out someone robbed them during the event. Apparently people go through obituaries, figure out when families will be at a memorial, and then go rob their houses. Unbelievable scumbags.

In another major upset, I'm at the bar again. Tonight's band is called Freeze Frame, which should tell you all you need to know. Gonna be a tough slog tonight.
this happened to my wife's, sister in law's, mother. at the funeral of her daughter. the worst.Went to a celebration of life for my friend's dad yesterday. Beautiful day, great spot on the water.

If you’re pining for American craft beer check out Hoppy CornerChecking in from Paris. How’s everyone? Please don’t rob my place while I’m away
dammit- outlook was supposed to remind me to rob your place today.Checking in from Paris. How’s everyone? Please don’t rob my place while I’m away
FYI - the TV is kind of old and I’ve been shopping for a new one. It was really good 10 years ago but not so much anymore. You can take it. Also feel free to clean out the fridge. I’ll probably have to throw everything out when I get home anywaydammit- outlook was supposed to remind me to rob your place today.
What are you doing there? I went for JEC conference a few years ago around this timeChecking in from Paris. How’s everyone? Please don’t rob my place while I’m away

I’m here for work. Having dinner right now at Le Pre Aux Clercs in the Saint-Germain district. The steak was ok, the pepper sauce was great, the frites are amazing, the wine was pretty good and I love the atmosphere. And the waiter speaks English and is friendly.What are you doing there?

Unfortunately, I have to go back to the hotel and do more work soon. Waiting on people in one of our California offices to respond to an email so I can finish what I’m working on. Due tomorrow. I’ll be in London next week probably working even later hours. I’m going to at least have a nice dinner every night, even if it means I’m working until midnight in my hotel afterwards.
I will have Saturday in Paris, hopefully with no work to do, and Sunday in London. I’m open to ideas for both cities. I’ve seen many of the tourist spots in previous trips to both so I prefer something other than that. People in the office have made good recommendations so far too.
I will check it out. It's not far from my office and my hotel.
I'm sorry, man. Hate every part of that industry.I hate the insurance and health care industries with the heat of a 1000 suns. Roverkid still not admitted anywhere, despite the treatment center saying that she needed to be admitted immediately last week. Delays in getting bloodwork, EKG's, insurance coverage, etc.
A spot in residential care opened up. I told them to have her admitted, I don't care what the cost. Figure out the insurance later. Had to spend hours on the phone today getting her doctors to provide labs and EKG to the treatment center. Still nothing.

just ok?My daughter's bf just called me and asked if I would give my blessing to marry her. Very nice.
And yes I said OK.
Condolences, Grove. Happy for you that you had a goodbye moment with her. Anytime I hear something like that, I feel fortunate for the few instances where fate allowed it to take place in my life.Well, looks like I will have no remaining living grandparents. Grandma made it to 94 but has had a rough last couple of years and really slowed down lately. Ended up taken to the ER this evening and is having a heart attack. Doctors advised to just keep her comfortable as both her age and blood thinners make any procedures almost pointless.
Technology is cool at least. Was able to FaceTime with her with my wife and daughter and say goodbye. Glad we got to do that, but man was it tough too.
This is going to be really hard for my dad. His younger brother died 2 years ago and he'll now be the only one left from his immediate family. Taking care of my grandma (who could be stubborn and demanding) was wearing on my parents, but I think being the last one left has to have a certain loneliness to it.
it might be the worst BS to have to deal with. just awful. i'm just a mook, down in socal, but let me know if i can help.-fish- said:I hate the insurance and health care industries with the heat of a 1000 suns.

Dammit. I'm sorry.Roverkid just finished packing to go to residential treatment tomorrow. It's one of the saddest things I've ever seen. She's cried a lot today. I know this is the best thing I can do for her, but my heart is breaking.
thanks. facility is in Edmonds. I'm learning all of the information on the fly. at this point, all exercise is off the table as she can't spare any calories. we'll get her back and gambling on horses soon.I know it's easy to say, "I'm here and I'll help," but I do mean it, roverfish. I don't know what residential treatment will entail, but if she can have people in and could use more friendly faces to stop by and encourage her, I can bring my little "pew pew pew" keychain or anything else. I'm so close by; take her out for a walk or hike, or anything really. roverkid.
Makes sense. I can get to the Kingston/Edmonds ferry in 15 minutes if it helps. Just send me a FB message if I can do anything.thanks. facility is in Edmonds.

I'm so sorry for both of you. You both have to be emotionally exhausted.Roverkid just finished packing to go to residential treatment tomorrow. It's one of the saddest things I've ever seen. She's cried a lot today. I know this is the best thing I can do for her, but my heart is breaking.
All my best to Roverkid.
