I rarely post in here, mostly just read along and smile, but the last few days are a lot of reading and shaking my head at the crap you folks are experiencing. So in an effort to hopefully bring a smile to some faces in here, I'll be the guy that admits I had a dream recently about a person from the internet:
I was at some sort of men's event, like a conference or retreat, at this great big lodge in the woods somewhere. All of my guy friends were there....and so was General Malaise. We were all hanging out talking and he was acting just like he did in that video where he tried out to be a sports talk host at BWW a few years ago (or whatever that try out was). Being very cocky and funny. I was the only one laughing at him. Then we all decided to go play golf, but I needed to brush my teeth first. So I went over to the sink and when I opened the toothpaste it just ran and ran out of the tube, and looked like super bright red ice cream syrup or something. I couldn't get it to stop coming out. And GM made fun of me because of my dumb toothpaste.
Fin.
I told my wife about it the next morning (she has no idea who GM is, I just told her it was a dude from the FBG message board) and she gave me the blankest look you could give someone.
What in the wide wide world of sports in wrong with me?

I don't claim to know him very well but that seems very characteristic of GM to make light of toothpaste catastrophes.

TPWs to all the GMTANs that are all too much in need of them.
Since it appears to be bad news week...
Went to a wake for a friend’s mom yesterday after work. My wife’s family is very close with this friend and his family (wife and child) and that’s how I’ve gotten to know him. Through this friendship, we’ve spent countless holidays together and even went on family vacation together a couple of times. However, I never really knew his parents and siblings. I had met his brother once or twice before, but that was it before meeting everyone else last night. While I’m not sure the brother would have even remembered me, he had stepped away from the line when we came through and never got to say hi to him. Just got word this morning that the brother died of a heart attack right after the wake.
While I’m not Tanner old, I do know people my age that are already grandparents. One of my favorite classmates that I’ve known since middle school lost her 2 month old granddaughter yesterday.
Getting out of bed today was a failed endeavor

Freud is famous for his quote about how sometimes an umbrella is just an umbrella... and hey, sometimes toothpaste is just toothpaste oozing between your fingers as it comes out of the tube while you think about gm at a men's event where only you really understand him... but this time I'm close to 100% you had a wet dream about @General Malaise and I'm pretty sure your wife knows it and is like, ok, just keep this #### on the internet and don't tell me about it anymore.

I've actually saved one from September that she left me when she was doing better but showing signs of weakening. I didn't know then that she would decline this quickly but I'm glad I saved it and feel better knowing I'm not the only person who would do something like that.
Thanks for all the nice and kind words, everybody. I find comfort in them.
And K4, I'm glad your friend is on the mend. That was terrifying to read. Also, Happy Birthday!

Also, the dog with the jacked teeth made a room full of sad people laugh hysterically yesterday.

You shut your hoor mouth.
Welp, I feel like I accomplished two things here: 1. hopefully made some smile (or at least the folks responding did); and, 2. cemented that I have some issues.

What a rough month. That's just terrible. You have my best wishes, as do your friends and family involved. I wish I had some sage words that could help make things feel a little better, but all I can say is that I wish you the best and we are here for you if you want to talk more.

Best wishes to you all as well. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose a 2 month old. That's just not fair. Too many people here have lost children and/or are close with people who have.

Was crossing the road, was halfway to the middle, when an SUV making a left turn, didn't see me until the last second. His bumper barely touched me.
I lost it. Threw my bottle of Iced Tea at his windshield and screamed "What the f*** is the matter with you?!"
there was a cop right behind him. He got out calmed me down and then talked to the driver. The driver was more shook up then I was. He apologized then we shook hands.
The thing is, I didn't have my life flash before my eyes. Just froze as the car bore down on me, dumbfounded.

Adding my TPW to 'ninja and Epic Problem. :(
Becka did a mile or so walk outside today, even climbing a little hill. I, on the other hand, didn't get outside but did figure out the correct ratio for combining regular-flavor Bugles and caramel Bugles in one delicious bite. Take that, Ms. Nearly-Died-a-Few-Days-Ago!

I've been having a lot of friends die lately. A lot. I put that off to getting older. Some of the stuff posted the last few days (including my story) are just a horrible string of bad luck.

Positive vibes to everyone in here needing them. Throwing mine on the stack of "#### days" apparently.... 13 people got sacked at my studio today (only 6 weeks after 5 others had the same happen). I was not among them, but to say that I was feeling anxious right about now would be an understatement.

I'm sorry to hear that. I don't remember you mentioning that before. We aren't that old, though. I'm in my 40s and IIRC you are a few years younger than me. We, and our friends, should have at least another 30-40 years left.

That would have been terrifying considering what you recently went through job-wise.I haven't mentioned the other deaths because I figure we're getting old, and people die. Only one of the recent ones was a super-close friend. I'm older than you, though!

Indeed.
I think I may finally be, to quote the immortal Roger Murtaugh, "too old fuh this ####!"

I'm sorry to hear about your close friend, but even in your 50s is too young. I'm glad another close friend (Becka), is getting better at least.

Sometime soon I will go back to posting jokes and funny quips, but lately I can't do it. I just want this string of bad luck, and maybe a little old age, to getting better.

13 sacks in one day is pretty bad, I suggest looking at upgrading your offensive line.
When you have a birthday every day, you are bound to be older than everybody.

I have a Beerhole (2?) video. Can repost as needed. I’m in. Also, Brazilian Steakhouse for lunch was an awesome way to demotivate me for the tasks at hand awaiting me back at work. Off to Vegas in the morning.kevzilla said:
Evidently @Bucky86 will be in Vegas starting tomorrow as well. I told him to PM me if he wants to cornhole. Maybe we can get buskers on Fremont St. Saturday night to resurrect the #### you Forrest video series. Intrigued?

Are her parents cool? Really couldn’t imagine having ####ty in-Laws. As a matter of fact. I’m headed out to eat steaks and drink martinis with my FIL in about an hour. Just the two of us. Did he call her to see if we wanted to go? Nope, he called me and added, ‘See if your wife wants to come too’

Man, so sorry all of you who are dealing with so much crap. Life is so much harder than we pretend it is.
Which is why it's worth it to fight over a Cornhole tournament

Wow. Lot of tough stuff in here lately. So sorry for everyone’s troubles. Tough time of year for everyone I guess.

Just want to clarify at this point, now that she’s feeling better it’s okay to put your post about kissing and massaging her in a hospital bed in the spank bank, right?
