Yeah, with the newborn we got no less than four packs of stickers with all these milestones, like we're supposed to slap a sticker on the kid and take a picture on Baby's First Flag Day.

Admittedly I take (and post on FB) a lot of pictures of my kid but that #### is ridiculous.

I have a good friend that posts pics of his kid on FB every day.   Not kidding.  Now he and his wife went through hell to have this baby.  Miscarriages, IV, etc.  Like everybody else I was thrilled when they had a healthy baby boy last year.  You can really find fault in them posting pics/vids of the kid every day...sometimes multiple times a day. 

BUT now that the kid is over a year old they've been posting "memories" from last year in addition to the daily posts. 

"Here's Timmy eating a grape all by himself today!"   "Here's a pic of Timmy when he was a month old sleeping"

I use the "unfollow" feature pretty liberally on people like this.  I have one friend that posted about crossfit every day, then she had a kid and now she posts pictures of him every day raving about how cute he is (as a newborn, he looked like WC Fields, but with more hair).

Still friends, but don't see her posts anymore.

Some men don’t take female craft beer enthusiasts seriously assuming our beer expertise is limited or that we don’t enjoy drinking it. And they’re right! I’m not into craft beer at all… I’m just here for the ####.

When I order craft beer, what I’m really ordering is the experience of having male customers explain what I’m drinking in a condescending tone. Let’s admit it: I’m just here for some cask-conditioned male attention!

When I’m at a brewfest or a tasting, a dude will love nothing more than to lean over and say, “That one’s brewed with cocoa nibs, you know,” or “That’s a good beer—try to pick up on the roasty undertones.” Those instincts are fine, but just so you know, I’m not here to participate in a popular hobby that I’m knowledgeable about. I’m here for some dry hopped **** and balls, man!

Sometimes I do contribute to the conversation and end up getting congratulated on knowing words like “porter” and “grain.” But then they get suspicious and insert little questions into the conversation to see if I’m legit. But look: I’m not here to prove that I’m some kind of beer expert; I’m just here to reel in the peen by trying to prove to Mike here that I understand the fermentation process behind Belgian lambic. God!


 




Sometimes I seal the ####-deal by ordering another of “whatever this is.” It’s all worth it to get noticed by a microbrew-drinkin’ guy who’s wearing a mechanic’s shirt but doesn’t actually work in a garage. Hey sexy, come toss me over your shoulder like a big old sack of malt and drive me wild!

If this doesn’t work out, I guess I’ll switch over to Skinnygirl margaritas and get involved in some other hobby that girls only pretend to know something about, like comic books, videogames, or under-the-radar comedy, where the other piles of **** lay waiting for me.

Seems less than completely sincere.

Isn't that true?

Anyone in Rochester MN? Taking the wife to the Mayo Clinic in a couple weeks, sounds like we might be there for a few days...... Any good restaurants?
Click to expand...
I'm from there. Pescara is a nice seafood place. Chesters has great American fare. Although Rochester has gotten better it's still a relatively boring town. 

Good luck pack. 

 
The new restaurant my wife is running has a "420 Burger".

 It's got bacon, mac and cheese, pepper jack cheese, American cheese, onion ring, two mozzarella sticks,  fries, and BBQ sauce.  

It's their best seller after the house/build your own burger.

Seriously I'm high right now and that sounds gross.

My workplace has apparently stopped blocking FBGs and some other non-businessy sites.

It appears that many image-hosting sites are still blocked for "bandwidth" reasons :rolleyes:, so apologies in advance if I don't "like" your cat pictures.

My wife watches that and all those other shows around it.

Pretty sure she's studying.

Wants to do a really good job of murdering me.

You just recited my DVR listings.  I keep telling her to quit stalling and get it over with already.

Good luck, buddy.

You'd think a clinic named after a controversial GMTAN condiment that all of us should be making from scratch, organically, if we want to enjoy its true essence, would be chock-full of delicious delis and sandwich shops.

Thanks fellas.

We'll have to check out that Pescara place for sure.

 
Just learned that there is a kid in my nephew's kindergarten class named "Yexel."

Yes, that's Lexey backwards.

:mellow:  

 
If anybody is interested in a survival football pool shoot me a PM with your email address and I'll get you an invite.  $10 entry.  Usually around 40 people.

 
a second person in a week has been let go at my office just now... and he was one of the other architects (there's only 3... now 2.. of us). we're "boutique", so only about a dozen staff... 2 people is a lot. plus, the other architect has been here longer than me... and is cheaper. 

####.

I just negotiated to work from home 1 afternoon a week so i can pick up my kids from school- since the wife is going back to work (not permanent position- full-time consulting... and not for much money). the office manager didn't say a peep about any of this. but I obviously need to talk to her again.

I'm ####ting bricks right now.

What are you nervous about?  They let go of the other guy, not you.  Would your business survive with 1 architect?
