That reminds me of a great family story.

I have a step aunt we'll call Sue.  Sue got married right out of HS to a guy we'll call Stu.  This is like back in the mid 60s.

Sue was/is very mousy and timid. Stu took advantage of this. Stu was a blue collar guy from somewhere in Western PA.  Like a Pittsburgh version of Dale Gribble. Scrawny and opinionated.

Stu was also a big time drunk. Most nights of the week Stu would get off work from his sheet metal job and then hit the local bar for like 3 hours then come home.  Some nights he would stay much later.  

On those late nights he would drunkenly climb into bed and insist that Sue perform her wifely duties and then pass out.

Sue hated this but figured it was her job as a wife.

After all was said and done Sue would, of course, have to use the bathroom. When she would come back to bed, tired/used/annoyed there would be Stu all passed out and content.

Sue was never one to stand up to her husband in broad daylight or defy him but on those nights she couldnt contain herself.

The way she tells it she would grab Stu's feet and bang his scrawny, chicken ankles together 5 or 6 times.  Stu never felt it...until the next day.

For like 5 years Stu would ask his drinking buddies after a hard night "What the hell did I do last night? My ankles hurt like hell."

IIRC Sue told him the truth about 5 years later during a big fight.

Insider secret for parents of 7-12 graders.  If your school holds back to school night within the first 2 weeks...we really have no idea who your kid is.  

Them: "Hi, we're Raden's parents."

Me: :shuked: 

Of course if the teacher says "Oh, Raden. 3rd period. Sure. Sits in the 2nd row. " It means your kid has distinguished himself and not in a good way.

And I actually have a Raden.  No idea if his parents were Mortal Kombat fans.  I will say that this kid looks like he would need a nap after 15 minutes of playing a standup videya game.

Open House at Cal's school Tuesday.  The hiStoRy teacher began by saying "Hello future parents of the next generation!" .  Only a couple of people replied so same thing.  Got more takes the second time around.  I didn't say a thing but thought if you did anything like that I want to punch you.

Did you say "We're already parents, numbnuts"?

 
This real estate market, oh my. I decided to turn down the offer without countering, but before I could my agent explained three parties were bidding now. We're over the asking price. I back out now, I eat the commission. I'm about to be homeless. 

I smirked at the advice to write a letter. I'm selling to the highest bidder. It's not personal, it's business. Then I had a chat with a 40 year old Naval officer who made it personal. I want to tell him it's his because it's perfect for his family, he's in a tough spot moving across the country, etc. So yeah. Write letters. Sellers are human. Houses are personal. This guy would take proper care of it, and it would take proper care of him, not that that should matter, but somehow it does. He is willing to let me stay 60 days. Relocating after Halloween. That has value I can price however I want, right? And I have no place to go yet. Other than moving in with @cosjobs I got nothin'. 

 
I wanted to bang Chris Evert when she was 16, and still do now that she's 59. On a scale of zero to Bill Cosby, how messed up am I?

My Galveston beach house is open starting next week. I only do monthly rentals., furnished, bills paid. Probably won't be on the market more than a couple days, since Houston lost so much housing and I'm commutable. Like a disease.

I don't know if you followed the buy a place for bro in Vegas saga, but I'm not into that town anymore. There's a mostly empty just purchased 5bd 5bth 850k place there I am free to use, but I'm a big baby so #### it.

Previous owners were Mexican (they tile everything)

They had a thing for Greeks or Romans.

Who doesn't want to be greeted by these.

The night view is probably sweet by Vegas standards.

That view is intriguing for a temporary visit. I've spent years in the desert learning to use a sniper rifle. The scope on my .338 is worth 3 grand. It was once important to me to be able to blow up milk jugs a mile away. I could never dial in that distance with consistency but I got pretty good from 1300 yards in. About 1200 yards into that view is my ex wife's house. The house I gave her to leave us alone. Intriguing view.

also another reason to stay away

You know what bothers me about the Walking Dead?  I mean, tons of things bother me about that show, but one thing in particular.

Those people should be eating like kings.  After two years, there would be enough deer and feral pigs running around Georgia that every dinner would be a damned royal feast.

What're the zombies eating?

You think a zombie is gonna catch a deer?

Depends on the zombie, I guess.*

28 Days Later zombie?  Sure.

WD zombie?  Not as many, but eventually they'd be able to get ahold of some.  Deer get tired, zombies don't.

(Plus, the deer probably don't have anyone yelling at "Korl to get back in the house."  Theyre pretty stupid.  Would run right into zombies if they were spooked enough)

*For some reason I feel like I need to point out zombies arent real.

Listen up, chief. Wlaking Dead zombies are 1) Real and B) Completely incompetent as hunters. It is known.

 
House buying attempt #2 fail:  I had the high offer, but the sellers chose a lower cash offer with no inspection and a slightly faster close.   Dumb.

 
had a guy come and level our lawn. part of that involved exposing a couple stumps (too close to cables for the guy to pull them out, he said).  one other stump he dug out completely.  it's... sizable. 

no way i can haul it away. recommendations for a chainsaw that can rip through a stump without also ripping through my arms?

Drag that ish to the curb, put a picture of it on craigslist with "vintage, rustic coffee table" underneath it, let it become some other chucklehead's problem.

Not funny
Click to expand...
If I've said this once, I've said this a thousand times:

#1.  There is nothing funny about rape. Clearly, definitively, assuredly, not funny. Not one bit. 

#2. There is nothing funny about the founding fathers. Except that nut Franklin. But I don't really lump him in with the rest of the stuffy old men. 

These two principles are fairly well established. Unassailable almost. But what happens when you add them together, to get:

#3. It's KIND OF funny that one of our founding fathers was, in all likelihood, a serial rapist.

Not funny in and of itself. Heavens no. But funny in the way it makes people uncomfortable to mention. Like it's MY fault for having the temerity to mention that Jefferson raped his slaves. Like that's somehow worse than, you know, the rapey stuff. 

Anyway . . . That's my take.

Wildfires happening just east of Portland.  Started on Saturday at a popular hiking spot.  We just hit this one six weeks ago.  The fire also just jumped the river and is now burning on both sides.   Just walked outside and have a good amount of ash on our cars.  :unsure:

they (zombies) caught a freaking horse. I think they can catch a deer. even have scenes showing rotted deer carcasses in the woods. don't forget that WD zombies go into ninja mode frequently- no problem sneaking up on a deer.

yes. I watched too much of the marathon this weekend. :bag:

jeebus. 

so it's all about cash offers? crazy that there are this many cash-rich people out there... but from what I've seen here too, seems to be the new norm.

any  #3s out there worth bidding on? any sweet ol' widows who just want to see their place go to the right person type of deals any more?
