My wife decided that my "happy Mother's Day" message was a worthy catalyst to texting everyone we know, including my parents whom I was with, scathing messages about how much of a scoundrel I am.  

Women.

I was going to send you a Happy Mothers Day text earlier and then thought better of it. Seems like it would have been good schtick.

Dr D, I signed up for a Wounded Warriors (I think youve worked them?) 5k in Plainfield, Il. On May 28. I'll see you there.

I still get a mailer once in a while from Wounded Warriors.  It always caches me off guard because it shows up with

"Dr. Detroit vs icon - FFA" on it.  Makes me :lmao:  every time.

 
OK which one of your sons did this?

 A teen urinated on tourists in Las Vegas from a slot machine-inspired zip line ride at the city's Fremont Street Experience, according to officials.

The stunt had the teen's parents apologizing over-and-over again once they got off the "Slot-Zilla."




 




A visitor from Hawaii says he thought it could be water, maybe a beer, but never in a million years would he imagine he would be urinated on in Las Vegas.

"Believe me, I wish the last 14 years had never even happened. I regret all of it...by the way, would you be willing to add more to the ongoing monthly support payments?"

 
The folks at the Fremont Street Experience are maintaining total media silence on the pee-drizzle incident. Can't blame them. :lmao:

 
I'll take an opposing view of our Zip-Whizzing culprit here.  Sure, he's probably burdened by an IQ hovering around career home runs of Bartolo Colon and he's probably also anchored with parents who are less fit to make sound choices than Johnny Manziel (who the hell takes their under-21 kids to Vegas????).  But what kind of moxie must one possess to climb aboard a zip-line, party of 1, high above thousands of spectators whom he greets cheerfully with his tepid urine?  He's not going to just unbuckle the harness and run away like a car thief on cops when he gets to the other podium or whatever they call it.  He must know that his antics will land him in hot water (no pun intended) and you know what?  Jimmy crack the corn and he Jay Cutlers.  I say we welcome our new zip-drizzling overlord to GMTAN and give him a seat between St. Louis Bob and Homer, the King and Crown Prince of debauchery and hijinks.

Gotta assume he just lets it go down his shorts right?  Not sure how you could release the hounds with that gear on.

 
Probably got so scared he peed himself and had to pass it off as being a punk.

In which case, we welcome him to GMTAN and give him a seat between Uruk and cos, the most likely to have bladder control issues.

Don't forget YSR....never discount the bladder control of the perpetually pregnant.

 
You guys remember my talking about my cousin, whose 40something wife died 5-1/2 months ago of cancer?  Found out today he's engaged.

He and his wife were unusually close, having been the only serious relationship either had had, together since college days, and worked in the same university, even teaching some classes and doing some research projects/papers together.  They were as well matched as any couple I know.  He'll hear nothing from me but congratulations and the best of wishes, and I really do hope that he happened to find someone who is wonderful for him and will add to his happiness, but it's normal to be a little worried for him, right?

If you do it while in the service of a vessel and more or less permanently assigned to that vessel or a fleet of vessels, and if it happens to be related to the vessel, an appurtenance, or a tool aboard being unfit for its intended purpose, I'm your guy.

Absolutely normal to be worried for him.  5 1/2 months after his wife dies is pretty damn quick.

Happens more than you think. My Step FIL met my MIL 3-4mths after his wife died unexpectedly and they have been married for almost 10 years. Neighbor's wife died a couple of years ago and he started exclusively dating a new woman about 5mths after she died and they are still together. My wife's aunt died unexpectedly from cancer 6-7 years ago and her husband was dating within 2 mths and has been dating the same woman since about 4mths after. Seems men don't do well solo.

ETA my MIL went to a widow's support group and she mentioned that on more than one occasion the counselor said most men are married within a year of the death of their spouse.

1. Does he have a lot of money lose in a divorce?

2. Offdee rating?

There were 2,912 deaths during the study period. Of those, 2,373 were among married people who left a widow or widower behind. The other 539 deaths were among people who had become widows and widowers themselves.

Widows and widowers were more likely to die than people whose spouses were still living, on average.

The effect was strongest during the first three months after a spouse's death, when they had a 66 per cent increased chance of dying.

Fifty of those 539 people died within three months of losing their spouse, 26 died between three and six months later and 44 died between six and 12 months later.

Earlier research showed men were at greater risk of dying soon after a spouse than women, but the authors of this study didn't find a difference.

Neither do well solo.  22% of widows and widowers died within a year of their spouses death, that's shocking to me.
