GM's Thread About Everything/GM's Thread About Nothing (18 Viewers)

after reading this morning that Baron Davis and Laura Dern are dating...  i got pulled in to a rabbit hole and found out that  JT and Fergie once dated

Long before Timberlake married Jessica Biel and Fergie welcomed her first child with Josh Duhamel, the musicians dated one another while Fergie's girl group Wild Orchid toured with 'N Sync. "He was 16 and I was 23," Fergie told Australia's Courier Mail. "It was before he got real heavy with Britney [Spears]."

my MIL called out my wife last night for a 3 year old Christmas gift 

wife bought my MIL a towel bar and promised to install it. 3 years on, towel bar still sitting in a box in the bathroom.

my wife's defense: it's not my fault! you threw away the template for it!

me: the....... the.... template? 

wife: :hot: I CAN'T HANG THE TOWEL BAR WITHOUT THE TEMPLATE! SHE THREW IT AWAY!

me: it's a towel bar. you screw it in the wall. :shrug:

guess who's not talking to me today

eta: and now it's my fault that the towel bar won't get hung for another 3 years

etaa: #### no i will not hang that towel bar. and #### you for suggesting it.

I have never heard of a template for putting up a towel bar.  It seems pretty straight forward. 

Looking back, this is one of those little things that could have won you some points had you volunteered to help her with it 3 years ago.

and i had no idea the towel bar was a problem until last night. i don't use the bathroom in question at my in-laws. some things a man does not need to see. one of those is his 70 year old mother in laws........... clothes she wears for her boyfriend :oldunsure:

In fairness the template is easier. 

Its not impossible without it however.

I'd just email or text her a link to a youtube video showing you how to install a towel bar.  Women love passive aggressive behavior.

She puts the 'ho' in 'support hose'

 
I hung a towel bar in our bathroom without even bothering with locating studs.  I had a feeling it would serve as a monkey bar for two curious monkey like boys.  I was right.  Thing lasted about a week and a half and now I've just got holes in our wall and have to hang my towel over the shower door like a frat kid.

At first I read that as “fat kid”.

”are their towels too big for a normal towel rack?”

 
i prefer to hang my towel over the shower wall.  we have big towels and they don't really dry all scrunched up the towel rack. :shrug:

Depends (no pun intended.  Or, as cos mentioned, not until they get old).

I ##### about him a lot, but my dog is pretty cool.  His knuckleheadedness is really more about his ability to get away with stuff with my wife.  He knows she's softer than I am on rules, so he exploits that, etc.  When I worked at home and kept him on his routine without giving in to his capriciousness he was less of a rockhead.   If you get your own pooch, you can make sure he/she doesn't act like a dork if you're willing to put in the wrench time on the front end.  You can sweat almost anything out of a dog via training if you're consistent.  They really are creatures of habit who will do great if you can get them on a "set schedule" with how things operate at your establishment (feedings, walks, play, etc).   I wouldn't judge too much based off the dog sitting.  That's not that dog's turf and you aren't part of its "pack", so it's not going to know how to act 100% of the time.

 
Reasons to give a towel bar as a gift:

a.   You had one laying around and forgot to buy anything else.  

XI.   The person broke your towel rack, and you're giving it to them as an act of passive aggression.

  •    They #####ed about you leaving a wet towel on the floor, so you're giving it to them as an act of passive aggression.

 
Psa to gm and urban.

There's some nasty stomach virus all around Portland. 4 of the 6 of us are puking or nauseous. And beyond that it's hit the entire extended family on both sides.

Otherwise happy New year

:lmao:   

Abuot 7 years ago a friend gave me a pop-a-shot thing he won in a contest.  Seemed like it came in about a million pieces.  I finally get the thing together and call the boys to try it out.  First thing Cal does is jump into the vinyl ball return and rips it out.  Didn't get a single shot off.

The worst part is it's still in my basement with several combinations of duct & packing tape barely holding it together.
