GM's Thread About Everything/GM's Thread About Nothing (10 Viewers)

s'up IB,

want to get involved in suing guildford county for my FIL?  when they installed city plumbing water, they destroyed his wells and forced him to sign up to the city system since he could no longer get any water.

 
I always just figure the atroshus spelling of words in here is shtick, like an homage to our fearless leader. (GM, not the president)

Dave can probably answer better but I have only ordered once from here a couple of years ago and ordered 3 things ...they were all fantastic.

My favorite - duck prosciutto (don't #### it up with anything else)

2nd favorite - stagberry salame (elk with mead and dried blueberries)

Still loved - coppa (love coppa ...and this stuff is a lot more like proscuitto than lunchmeat) - just not on the same golden plane as the other two. Looks like they are out right now.

are they sent frozen?  i'm a snob about frozen meat/food.

 
GM how you getting on in the snowpocalypse we have here in Portland? I can drop some food and water off, maybe firewood if you're desperate

You think I'd let a little thing like the snowpocalypse keep me home with the lunatics in my house?  Oh no no no....I have made it to the office every damn day.  Sure, I almost died on Wednesday, but I'm far more likely to die being stuck at home anyway, so it was a wash.  I've got some firewood stored up in the back yard using a homemade wood shelter I built this summer.  It does a good job keeping the wood dry so long as rain/snow comes straight down at a 90 degree vertical.  Otherwise, well....let's just say I used up most of the wrapping paper we had left to get the wet wood to ignite the day we lost power.  Had a feeling cancelling the newspaper a decade ago would come back to bite me.  Course once the fire was roaring, the power came back on and then the twins thought it would be fun to try and jump into the fire place. 

I picked up thai food last night for supper.  Green Curry.  So good.  Also got a birthday sex!!!!!!!!!  WE DID IT!

That sucks.  Can't say as I can help since I don't litigate, but I might be able to find him someone to take on the man for him.

In the old house where I had real American wood burning fireplaces, I always covered the wood with a tarp.  Now I have commie natural gas fireplaces. :kicksrock:

we had a Hawthorne tree in front of our house.   Terrible thing,  inch long hypodermic needles, dropped leaves in fall, buds in spring and berries in summer, grew like a weed and generally ugly as ####.   So i told the city it was dying and they let me chop it down.  The guy i hired to cut it down asked if i wanted the wood.  Hell yeah i told him, i'm going to burn every ####### inch of this mother####er.  I let it dry in my backyard for 2 years.    This year i started burning it.   Makes unbelievable firewood.   Big fan  of hawthorne trees now, as long as their dead

Unincorporated Wash County which means I can cut down any mother forking tree I want to on my property.  We took out a few before moving in, including a giant maple.  More wood from that than a bukkake marathon. For a while, I just had FREE WOOD on CL and watched strangers haul wood away; even poplar wood, which smell like cat urine when it burns. People love free wood.

 
Going to drive down to visit the wife in LA in a couple of hours.  It rained/snowed on the ridge route (that's the pass between god's country and LA) earlier today.

if I don't make it, the keys to my CSTU alias is up for grabs.

Tbh, I have no earthly idea. But I don't want to look like a goober to the docs that haven't already identified me as one. :lmao:

Knowing some basics on color usage and formatting is good. 

First time I ever used PP was for a presentation in college. It looked great on my laptop, but because the text and background didn't contrast, it got totally washed out by the projector and nobody could read a thing and my grade got docked for it (despite my content being excellent). Lesson learned.

You definitely want to use a different style of "wipe" between each slide so that it resembles Episode IV: A New Hope.  Sound effect during each transition also highly advised.

Go on Fiver and have some dweeb make you a great presentation for $20.  Probably cheaper than the book.

That's not bad advice, but I like a challenge. Plus, I have a feeling most of my group's functions will get outsourced down the road, so I need to demonstrate value.

Poplar blows. Maple is good if you let it dry.

I remember the good ole days of living in unincorporated WASH CTY. It's like the wild West compared to city of Portland. It's like 1956 Stalingrad, only more restrictions.

Oh.  Then my advice is PowerPoint sucks and actually detracts from people listening to you.

I used to have a guy that delivered dry wood to the house. 

Which, sort of amusing story, heard former Blues player Kelly Chase interviewed on the radio the other day and he was asked why he lived in St. Louis after his career along with many other former athletes most notably Wayne Gretzky.  His reply was something like "There's something like three million people here, eh? The thing is, everyone has got "a guy" for everything. People are nice and it's like you are two people away from knowing everyone in town in any situation and we kind of like that". lol @Bob Sacamano

Several times a year the Fry's here (Kroger) has 30% off wine and spirits sales.  I've started loading up on the 2012 Hedges Red Mountain Blend, because at $20-$21/btl it's an effing steal.

Sorry, I missed most of wine chat.

Fry's here sells modems and HDMI cards and ####.  No booze though.
