1.1 pick in the Arcade Players draft

Meh, there are like 50 balls in there instead of the standard 5-6.

I had Lasik's done yesterday. Besides remembering how nice valium is, it's amazing how much better the world looks with 20/20 vision.

How old are you? I asked my doctor about Lasiks and he said I was too old.

Some of the best money I've ever spent but that was 18 years ago. Eyes are still incredibly sharp. I could probably be a fighter pilot or MLB player. I think you are too old though GB, juice not worth the squeeze.

BTW, will you be taking you minivan to the scrip club?

Yeah, doctor said soon enough, he'll perform some sort of cataract surgery on me or something and that will have the same effect....he'll power one eye up or something. I wasn't really paying attention as I was flabbergasted to learn I was too old for something.

Yeah the State trooper that pulled me over yesterday looked young enough to be my kid but hey, twins!!

Ouch. My son is friends with this guy's son http://www.bakersfieldnow.com/news/local/Local-radio-reporter-arrested-accused-of-attempting-to-commit-lewd-act-with-a-child-319916081.html?m=y&mobile=y&clmob=y&c=n

Have a seat over there?

 

[General Malaise]

Could we take the minivan to a scrip club? You bet your whiteassssssssss we could! I know this thing is perfect for mormon families or families where the dad is too dumb to pull out, but really, this thing would be badasssssssss as a bro-mobile. Tailgating, whoring around, whatever. Chicks love guys with big cars.

looks like our 4yo might have vision problems.

anybody have to deal with this?

How bad? What are the issues?

My 3 yo has had glasses for over a year now and we have to patch 4 hours per day. Shuke's daughter also had some issues

dunno yet. she saw her doctor a few days ago, but couldn't figure out the eye test (according to my wife).

made me realize that I've seen her squinting at things and acting as if she doesn't understand what I'm pointing at while trying to read her a book. also made me think that it's been harder to get her to recognize letters and numbers than it was for her older brother.

wife gave her an at-home eye test and she had trouble reading the 2nd line from 10 feet (our son read all the lines without problem).

we're trying to get her in to a specialist- but our insurance sucks.

Depending on where you live (an insurance) there should be a pediatric optometrist (ologist?) in most cities. Obviously with these things the earlier the better. My boy is far sighted and it's just one of those things where he gets glasses and it could fix itself over time, or he just wears glasses and gets lasik when old enough.

If it's similar, you'll find that they love wearing the glasses b/c it helps them see so much better. Good luck

We're in NYC, so tons of doctors. But only one that takes our insurance... first available appointment is in October- no joke.

I've also noticed with books and ipad that she holds them a lot closer than seems necessary (to me).

But no stigma to us about this- we want to make sure she gets the help she needs.

and I keep thinking of the video of the toddler getting glasses- fighting them off at first and then just beaming with joy when it realizes that it can see clearly for the first time.

My cousin that is one of my best friends and favorite people in the world drives nothing but minivans even though all of his kids are grown now. Funny, smart, drunk and a degenerate gambler that makes bank. You would love him. His theory is that most minivans aren't capable of going very fast and even if you do, cops are hesitant to pull you over because it's not like you are out hot rodding around. I've totally bought in to this theory.

Yes but there was a big meeting so the place was packed. I don't know what was going on with my bowels earlier in the week but you could have committed genocide with the gas coming out of me. No way was I doing that. Plus I wanted to go home and walk my dog.

Pretty much. He's high and or buzzed pretty much every day the last 20+ years (he's 58) I've been hanging with him and has never gotten in trouble.

40th birthday present...maybe he was just being polite instead of telling you that you have bad eyes (which happened to the misses)I also bike race still and the guy sponsors our team, so maybe that has something to do with it

I can ask him, but unless your Tanner-old, I doubt "being old" is a valid excuse.

Oh, sure, blame it on the dog, Bashar al-aBob. You probably told the Kurds the same thing.

 

[General Malaise]

I've only been pulled over once in my Infiniti, which I routinely speed in. I've noticed, however, that most of the other FX35 drivers are much older than I am, so maybe I'm just driving an old person car...I'm fine with that. The minivan theory is golden.

Good news: I won't be eaten by a bear in the middle of the night this weekend!

Bad news: Work is killing my camping trip, and since I'll do a couple of long day-hikes instead, there's a good chance I'll still get eaten by a bear.

It's only an old person car in that it hasn't been produced for something like 8 years and is 3 models old, so most younger people who would drive them are driving G37s or Q50s.

I've never owned a car. sounds tedious.

The most recent Infiniti FX generation was available from 2009 through 2013. The V6 version known as the FX35 had a 3.5-liter, 303-horsepower V6 up until 2013, when it was replaced by the FX37 and its 3.7-liter, 325-hp unit.

still the best car I've ever owned. I won't be able to afford another one, but if some stocks work out and my kids decide to go to the military instead of college, I'll be an Infiniti buyer for life.

Normally they'll give you one eye for close focus and the other for distance and you still need reading glasses. If you've got the cash, spend up for the multifocal lenses. - n/m, TWINS!

And the FX35 is a "crossover" so I think it fall in the minivan type camp from a cop's point of view.
