stryker's fault.

 

[strykerpks]

glll strykerdad.

This.Also, not your fault, stryker.

Thanks. And I know that. It's just that immediate feeling, ya know?

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

My dad had a blister on his foot that was pretty bad. So he went to the doctor to get it looked at and it turns out it got really infected and on top of that he had somehow broken his big toe. They had to do an emergency surgery tonight to repair the bone and clean out the infection that ended up being so bad it got into the bone. They're doing a biopsy on one of the bone chips and depending on how it looks they may have to amputate his big toe and possibly (though very unlikely) his right foot.

No TPWs needed, just kinda venting. He's 74 and loves taking walks and golfing. Can't imagine what this would do to his psyche if he's gotta give that up. Not to mention the quasi guilt I have since he got the blister when I took him to the PGA Championship a few weeks ago. Damn you Whistling Straits and your beautiful, nearly impassable terrain.

I'll be out again next September. I'll let you know. We were supposed to go to the Dodger game tonight but it fell through. Usually my Monday night is my only free night. Next time. Had a pretty awesome meal at Rock Sugar though. We did the tasting menu. Wow.

 

[Chaos Commish]

I like the Annenberg Space for Photography in Century City. And Rock Sugar. Rock Sugar is a good dining experience, hard to describe.

I typed my post without reading this one. That is wierd. Glad you went. Want to be disillusioned? Owned by Cheesecake Factory! Yeah, incredible space, good foodie experience. Glad you went.

 

[Chaos Commish]

I'm doing a taco tour with a food blogger in LA tomorrow. We're meeting at Yuca's around 2. Da Raiders, do you have a taco dive to suggest? We've done this before and usually do three or four. We've been working on this list, but not exclusively.

I never would have guessed. Doesn't have that vibe at all. Really good food.

Carnitas michoacan just north of downtown. Really really good. Down and dirty in the hood, but it's the real deal.

Gracias, just a couple exits south of where we're starting.

Why does school start so damn early

 

[UOFI_316]

Power at work is out so I get listen to my boss and receptionist talk magic football. They are both stupid and don't know what they are talking about. "I played that one guy from the browns, he had a good game." They are talking total points yet they are in different leagues with different scoring.

Just caught one last night from season 3 and enjoyed it. Went On Demand and started watching Season 1. Hopefully I can get them all in before I lose my free movie channels.

 

[General Malaise]

My sons start school at 9am. They mostly walk or bike the grueling 1/4 mile. Get home at 4pm. Rough life.

Probably bus schedules. Big push in Northern VA to get the school day to start later. My kids (now adults) used to catch the bus at 6:30am. By the time sports/activites etc were done it was easily 5PM

 

[belljr]

5th and 6th grade. 8 to 2:30Hs starts 7:30 I believe. I understand once you get 7th grade they have sports and other after school activities. Just don't understand it for the 5th and 6th graders

 

[BowieMercs]

Back in the day the younger kids went to school later, so the older kids were home in time to help watch them.

Yeah I'm hating life this year. The bus picks Cal up for middle school at 6:45 and Dyl for elementary school at 8:15. Sucks balls.

So next year the kid has to get on the bus 1:15 before school starts? Not sure about every other school but that's a little nutty. We have one that is close to an hour but our district is nothing but single family homes in what was once farm land. Lot of room to cover.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Oh and like Bowie said it really has to do with how many buses they have etc.

What's even worse is that I get an e-mail from some admin at Cal's school EVERY ####### DAY about upcoming events and the lunch schedule.

Where did you go to school? Nevada?

 

[Ignoramus]

When I was a kid we had a five hour round trip bus ride. And it was uphill the entire way.

 

[Ignoramus]

Oof. Just had a meeting where we got to pick three people from my group who will lose their jobs. Even better is that I have to wait over a week before it's enacted.

Time to refill my sleeping meds. And bourbon.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

The bus stop is in front of my house apparently. I may need to fence in the lot so these delinquents aren't cutting through my backyard. If I'm running behind the stupid bus makes me even later because she essentially parks in front of my driveway.

Send an email to the super/principal. Seriously.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

K-12 I never had to ride the bus to school...ever.

K-6 was about 3 blocks from my house.

7-8 was 1.2 miles from my house. The buses were for kids that were more like 2 miles away.

HS was a private school with no buses. Had to car pool.

An actual "get off my lawn!!" email will cement that my young fun self is truly dead.
