I'm ashamed to know this, but many would argue that's not really Internet of things because it still requires human intervention. A better example would be your local Wal Mart knowing if was out of Mountain Dew because of the RFID chips in the packaging and automatically placing an order for more from the supplier.

If any of my co-workers referred to that as the 'internet of things' I would mock them until they quit.

Man, I managed to get into every construction zone today driving to appointments. It was hellish.
First I had a gal almost t-bone me making a left from the far right lane.
Then some broad on almost runs into me while I was in line for at the ATM. Just starts backing up and I had to throw it in reverse so she didn't hit me. I lay on the horn and she starts yelling at me. ####### whore. I told her to go #### herself.
Right after that I see a tractor trailer almost run over a guy on a motor cycle. He quickly tries to get back in his lane but rips the side off a car.
I need a drink.

One other thing, when did the answer to every question start with "so"? It seems like everybody is doing this and it drives me crazy. Somebody please make it stop.

What the hell are you going to do with 85 pairs of underwear?

I pay $186/yr, but that's for 3 cars and I have the "Plus" membership. More perks I guess and 100 miles of towing.Annyong said:
Came in handy a few times already. Daughter had car problems while away in college, wife had to be towed numerous times, and I had to be towed a couple times.

I bought a bunch of these.
Actually it was closer to $270 probably. I bought a test pair and they were all kinds of awesome. Especially when I was walking. No powder needed. I figured that I've spent a small fortune on stuff for Mrs. SLB's girl parts, I deserve some comfort.

I took the boys to piano practice Tuesday night because Mrs. SLB had to get an injection in her spine. Weak excuse if you ask me.
They have a new teacher. I introduce myself and her to the boys. No problems. Dyl goes first and immediately starts playing. He's a ####### showoff. The teacher is impressed. I kind of hate him.
Now I'm waiting outside the room with Cal and he starts freaking out because he hasn't been practicing. I (bad call) decide that it would be a good time to tell him about (life). He gets pissed and goes to the bathroom. I leave for about 15 seconds to make sure that's where he was and not destroying precious musical instruments when I return to see that people have taken out seats. Moved the music books, my keys, and sat down. Now there are a couple of people I want to kill.
Cal finally calms down and is surprised to see that I've moved to the door right by the kid learning to play Panama. Over and over. After a couple of minutes he realizes the hell we are in. I told him, coincidences, man. Then this hot leggy blond walks in. She sits across from us, on her phone, I figure she's the mom for Panama Boy.
Dylan gets done and it's Cal's turn. People that took our seats...uh.... had their turn at lessons. Blond takes a seat right away and I take the other one. She had great eyes and beautiful smile. Dylan gets on my lap and is just laying there. Then he starts running game. Just being stupid funny. Blond next to me dying laughing. Dyl says "dad, you need to shave your beard, it's too itchy when you kiss us goodnight". I look at him and say "well, let's see what she says". I look to blond, ask her name, (Katie), and introduce myself. You know, showing my boy some stuff here. Katie, in a very provocative manor, says "keep it". Dyl then says "dad, you've got a tan on your face!! Look how red you are!!" . JFC, I was blushing.
I tried to get a good pic but failed.

Somewhere in between my son goofing around and introducing myself, Dyl was understanding that she was hot. I told him "it's okay, your mom and me worked this thing out where I can do some casual dating". I'm sure stuff like that will screw him up for the rest of his life but Katie thought it was funny.

I'm going to go pass out but I thought I would answer a question about Dylan running game. The ####er says "hey dad, if you had 3 wishes, what would they be?". Katie is bursting and he knows it. "Can't be 1000 more wishes :looksatkatie: ) Game.

Fine. No more drunk posting for you then. <_<

No. That was good stuff. I only just saw it.
Perhaps it makes me a bad dad, but I am so glad that only one of my kids does anything involving musical instruments. And it looks like he may quit. Which I am secretly hoping for, while encouraging him to stick with things in general.

I've seen the POTUS wearing gingham. Just couldn't find the picture. After thirty seconds I said "Meh..."

Unpossible.
I mean seriously, I wear cat shirts and flirt with women on a somewhat regular basis and I WAS BLUSHING. I'm so ashamed of myself.

I disagree. I think being able to play a musical instrument is something everyone should be able to do. There are a lot of benefits to your mental health, creativity and chicks that all like to bang dudes that can play something.

I agree with all of that, but it represents a parenting pain-in-the-### that I don't want to deal with.

advice please....
MIL has a beach house on MD shore that she has very graciously allowed us to use over the years- often with her in attendance. We are heading there next week to meet her (and other inlaws), but yesterday she fell and broke both of her wrists and is likely home-bound for a while.
without getting into the gossipy, sometimes back-stabbing nature of this large family (wife is youngest of 7 kids)...
do we continue on with our planned trip to the beach (only vacation this summer) or go to her house (N VA) to help take care of her instead? splitting the difference makes for a lot of extra driving- not undoable, but per Frosty, yugh.
I should add that she's also helped us out with a couple of small financial things in the last year, which is unusual. the wife feels like she'll go to VA to help out another time in the coming weeks, but this is the only time we can get away to relax and really wants to go to the beach. MIL pushes my wife's buttons big time- more than 3 days together and wife gets very stabby. l would love to go to the beach- but feel like we're a bit duty-bound to bag it and go help with gma.
thoughts?
tldr: go to the beach or help grandma?

How much extra driving are we talking about here? Seems like Maryland and Virginia are relatively close. If the MIL helped you out financially, it would be well worth it to start at her house, spend a day/night making sure she knows you care and THEN go to the coast for a vacation. I can't imagine that would set you back too much. Make sure to bring her some flowers or some crap.
