GM's Thread About Everything/GM's Thread About Nothing (9 Viewers)

I am hoping to appeal to you good people of GMTAN and ask for help to a good cause - at least a cause that is important to our family.  My son Cooper was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in December.  He's done a marvelous job managing his care and understanding his condition.  Today, he is asking for donations to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund by sponsoring him on the 5K walk in Sept.  If you can help, I would be greatly appreciative, but no worries if you can't.  This will be my first, last and only request for help from you wonderful souls.

And if you donate, I will take requests for EAT-OFF vids.  

Love,
GM

If eating exorbitant amounts of random junk food for diabeetus is wrong, you don't wanna be right?

I uh....I've never had a pickled egg.  I like pickles.  I like eggs.  Seems like this would be a magical event for me.

You'd think so, but you're in for a pretty big disappointment I'm afraid.  They smell like the smegma of 1,000 hot yoga instructors(not yoga instructors who are attractive, mind you, just those that instruct in the performance of hot yoga) sealed in a tomb for 50 years and taste like what I imagine the scum off the eyeball of a jackass would.

Had some much needed good news.  There was plans to build a Walmart grocery store and a gas station about 1.5 miles from the house on a piece of farm land but Walmart nixed the deal.  It didn't make any sense to me to begin with because there is a huge Walmart about 4 miles from the house already and in the same radius 2 Targets with grocery stores, a Shop N Save, an Aldis, 3 big local grocery stores and a Fresh Thyme. Also 3 Walgreens and 2 CVS.  A quarter mile from the site is a shuttered gas station and another that was converted to a liquor store(hurray!!) because of over saturation.

So pretty happy about this.

WTF???  Can a brother get a Rite Aid mixed in?

 
Pickled quail eggs are one of the greatest things ever.  Not sure where 5-ish gets his eggs, but I'd suggest not eating them from an open bottle at a biker bar.

 
just going to vent for a second.

i've reached my limit of patience. i work about 60-70 hrs a week.  I have 4 kids, i'm busy.  Since December i've had a crew tearing up my house and adding on to it.  They built me a new 3 car garage with a 2nd floor with 3 bedrooms, bath, and bonus room.   Job should have been done in May, but the foreman was a ##### and got fired.    Owner takes over job and it finally is done as of yesterday.

During the last 3 months, i've been getting multiple calls per day from wife complaining about "things" that weren't done correctly or not done at all, regarding the remodel.   I finally grew so frustrated I just said, "write a list and email it to me".   Which I'd just forward to the owner.   Not sure why she couldn't do that directly but i'm happy to be the middle man.  Meanwhile, my house has been a disorganized crap hole for months.   Kids are now out of school and the mess level is at 11.   

Last night, i come home, every room in the house is a shambles.  Kids are ####### off, doing kid stuff.  No dinner in sight.   I just finished working from 7AM to 6:40 PM, i'm tired and now that i'm home, grumpy.   I hold my tongue.    After dinner, wife tells me she wants some "movie time" which is code speak for laying the pipe.  Now i'm in a better mood.   Around 9PM the 6 yr old needs to go to bed, so wife takes care of that, I clean up.  About 10PM, wife hops in the bath, game  will soon be on.   Meanwhile my 14 yr old girl has one of her neighborhood girlfriends spending the night.  They are downstairs in the kitchen screwing around.   I go up to our bedroom and wait for momma to finish her bath.  Its been 2 wks, i've been out of town.

wife comes out, dressed up, game on.   About to get it on and all of a sudden hear a herd of elephants tromping around in the kitchen.  Wife freaks out, so I go downstairs and tell the girls "be quiet".  Go back upstairs and about to be go time and then wife starts riffing about all the cleaning she has to do.   I'm like "werrrp, werrpp, werrp"   went from 60MPH to 0MPH in 5 seconds.  Just lost it.   Blew off the wife and went downstairs, its now 11PM and the girls are down in the kitchen making a mess and making a lot of noise.  I yell at them and go to the basement, watch some tv and pass out on the couch.   Wake up at 1:30AM with a shearing pain in my shoulder, so go upstairs pop 4 advil and go back to sleep.  Wake up this monring, pain is still horrible.    

I just want to go home, have my house be clean, have some privacy with wife and have things be like they used to be.  I just spent over 200K on this ####### addition and my life is now worse than it was 7 months ago.   If i'd known it was going to be such a ####### hassle, i'd have just bought a vacation home somewhere.

I celebrate the entire curry catalog.  That night I had green, Mr. krista had a red with pineapples in it.

Looks like the GMTAN was overwhelmingly on my side on this one, as I put the rice in the curry container and Mr. krista did the opposite.  Hmph.

Happy birthday, cos!

Also, I'm going to Seattle Aug 6th via the mighty BOLT BUS, staying with a friend and going to the Mariner's game at 1pm on Sunday.  Any of you crazy peeps want to meet up after the game downtown?  I take the bus back at 8pm, so unless the game goes 17 innings, I should have some time for beers and hijinx around 3ish or 4ish.

Mr krista and I would likely be in, depending upon hiking schedule.

I need glasses pretty bad at this point. Every couple years I'll get an exam and order some online and wear them about 10 days a year. 

To get some I think would work well for me from a local shop, its about $700 plus frames.

Seems to me most vision insurance only covers about 40% of the cost but only costs about $100 a tear, so seems like a decent deal? Advise?

Vision insurance has been great for us.  Premiums are dirt cheap and I get our annual exams for free and either glasses or a year of contacts almost completely paid for.  I don't even understand how their model works...is it that a lot of people get the insurance but don't get annual exams?

As a casual observer, I believe he and his wife were foster parents and from there, they were able to adopt.  I know he was a guy that took a lot of crap and will probably be the first to admit he brought it upon himself, but my respect for him is much greater today reading through that thread.

I didn't know this and that's awesome.  Always liked Woz.  He was like the little brother I never had.

Sac has shunned me for years. Jzilla worked about 10 miles from my house last year. Nothing. I feel for you my brother.

Does anyone have any use for a like-new 27" Apple Thunderbolt display?

I'm told it's worth around $500.  I don't use mac stuff.  French whore owed me some money and gave me this instead.  

I'm going to throw it on craigslist, but I thought I'd ask in here first.

You're playing strip poker wrong. Possibly right.

I've told this story a dozen times but in grade school we had to make a culinary dish from another country. GB & myself made french toast and french fries.  He's Catfish Dyl's Godfather.

 
Are we picking him from the drop-down list? You? What's protocol here? Are we maximizing his donations or minimizing the rest of the family's exposure to iidiots?

I'm going to that game with Roverkid since she has a crush on Mike Trout and it's an opportunity for her to wear her Angels jersey.
