GM's Thread About Everything/GM's Thread About Nothing (5 Viewers)

Wife walked in while i was posting here. She said that it is weird that my avatar looks like me.   I never thought it did, but it does really look like my grandfather.  

Weird.  

I'm drunk.

 
today was a rough day.  my wife and sanebro decided to put a DNR in place for their dad.  listening to my wife, tearfully telling me what they had decided, was one of the hardest things i've been through.  her complete and total anguish, paired with her unfaltering strength, nearly brought me to my knees.  i had to sit down.  she and her dad were/are best friends.  she has talked to him nearly every day, for the entire 17 years i've known my wife.  today, she said, "there's something beautiful about surrendering to what is happening"   i'm so proud of her.  

 
I have two different kinds of rum, most of a bottle of Scotch, and half a bottle of absinthe. After the first half of the Packers game, I'm debating whether I need to go get some beer.

:X

 
Taking my 13 year boy to Chicago on Friday (Seattle). I was born in Chicago, but have not been back in 30 years. Saturday game at Northwestern (my dad's school), Wrigley on Sunday and the MNF game, Bears vs. Hawks. So damn excited, had to tell someone.

Neat.  You can watch two teams that only play the first half.

 
I had some carrot juice hipster concoction at First Watch yesterday morning.  It was good, but made me #### out my insides out before kickoff.  Wtf is with carrots in pasta sauce?

They’re an important ingredient in bolognese, but I think they’d be a touch out of place in a number of other sauces.

he caught me before i could even set my lunch down

i'm working on very little sleep.. had to brush him off before he got rolling. 

he has casually strolled by probing for an opening but i've kept too busy for him to interrupt.

marking my time, though. it's coming.

Went to Chicago for the first time in July.  It is easily one of my favorite cities I've ever been to.  Loved every second of it and will be back for sure.  Wrigley is awesome.  

 
Moved my stepdaughter into her college apartment. 3 hours to unload a 5x8 trailer to the 2nd floor in 90F temps (Orlando).

Now waiting for my wife to return with beer. Poor planning on my part to be sure.

Sorry to hear that.  You and your family have my best wishes.

So sorry to hear.

I'm not sure exactly how to say this, so apologies if it sounds off, but I'm going to post it anyway:

When I read this type of stuff here, it really sucks and saddens me. But, there's still a core of sweetness there. What always truly hurts me to read are the times people post stuff saying a parent or sibling died but that it really didn't even affect them because they had spoken like once in the last 20 years. 

It seems cliche to say that it's better to have loved and lost than to have never have loved at all, but I think it's 100% true. No question the hurt is so very deep when we lose that person we love, but the hurt of that person never being there runs so much deeper and wounds in such a horrible way. 

And while he may not be around physically, he still remains very much alive philosophically. As long as your family and friends still hold those sweet memories and love lives impacted by the good that he imparted, he still lives. The loss of his presence, love and wisdom going forward is great and to be grieved, thankfully it sounds like you have much of him to hold onto as well.
