Also, really like the tl;dr about the teacher stealing from the kids cancer fund, but do people really have that much trouble skipping a derned meal?

 
Also a couple years ago, my daughter got excited about the Lakers and Clippers playing in Staples on the same day, not against each but two games. She watched some time lapse Youtube of them changing out the floors and other decorations to turn a Laker home game into a Clipper home game. She called going to both a bucket list item. She is going to see the Clippers with her best friend and her hot mom right now. Unbeknownst to her, I'm meeting them after the game to watch UNC UK at a sports bar then take her to the Laker game. Hero dad right here.

Thanks and so sorry about your associates wife. It's awful and tragic and I mean no disrespect and have no intention of making light of anything by posting this weird Sun Kil Moon song the story reminded me of. 

Lyrics

I called my mom back and she was in tears and asked had I spoke to my fatherCarissa burned to death last night in a freak accident fireIn her yard in Brewster her daughter came home from a party and found herSame way as my uncle who was her grandfatherAn aerosol can blew up in the trash, ####### what were the odds?

From the story you shared

another man, Henry Edwards, 75, of Long Hill, died in a similar fashion only a week prior to Friday’s incident.

I'll play it on my drive with thoughts and prayers for those involved.

Also the hot mom just texted that she's shooting free throws for money at the 3rd quarter break. See now. I've been to hundreds of games, shoot 80% from the line, and would love to get out there for one of these little promos they do, but have never ever ever been approached. I don't have boobs.

Ask her if she wants to make $16 the hard way.

Nicely done CC.

 
Speaking of wife she just told me she's getting her haircut Friday at 1:30 and my mom is coming to watch the 4 year old but she's not sure if she'll be done in time to get the kids at 3:30 so I might have to leave work 2 hours early to go get them.  My boss is pretty flexible but she's such a terrible planner and I hate having to cut out for stuff like that

TL ;Dr I often go to the bar for lunch with my boss on Fridays and now can't go #### around because my wife has to get a stupid haircut

I know this type of pain. Wife's actually a great planner, but just assumes I'll be able to leave work randomly to pick up the kids if needed. This week's request was met with a "can we just schedule an impromptu last minute playdate?" Which seemed far more reasonable to me than my leaving work. It apparently wasn't.

 
Mr krista is joining the ranks of the gainfully employed again and got a call today, while we were in the car, regarding an interview next week. About a minute in, I heard him say, "I'm 40," and I jerked my head over and he shook his head as if to say, "Yes, indeed they just asked me a totally illegal question."

Christ, people actually do this?  

More than a bit disappointed that he didn't answer with this, though.

I've been asked this thrice during my current exodus through unemployment.  I responded with *boggle* pretty much every time.

What kind of business asks this?

 
krista4 said:
He's a chef.  Seems it might be common in other areas based on 5-ish's post.  Mind-boggling.

I thought he was a chef, wasn't sure and didn't know if he was applying in that business.  

It seems like the food business is a lot more informal than others ...my son is currently working at a 2 person grill for less than minimum wage ...under the table.  I find it unsettling.

40? What a dickmitten.

 
The boys were on Spring Break last week and spent the day and night with my parents on Wednesday.  I'm busting ### all day Thursday and didn't have a chance to eat all day.  I pick them up from my parents around 4 on Thursday and need something quick to bring back to the house because I have another three hours work to do, minimum. Ah, a Panda Express just opened nearby, I'll check that out.  Don't really care for chains particularly when there about 50 Chinese place by the house but #### it. Sure enough, in and out. As we're leaving I see this tall tight chick with multi color hair.  "Oh, hello" I say out loud. Dylan laughs. Cal exclaims "dad, I'M PRETTY SURE that's her boyfriend RIGHT THERE!".  As we pull around, I do a double take and say "I'm not so concerned with that as much as she might only be 17 :bag: " The boys laugh hysterically.

Tonight I decided the family should watch a James Bond movie.  I used to love them as a kid.  When there was only ABC, CBS, NBC and the Gilligan's Island channel, there was always one on Sunday nights.  So tonight was Goldfinger.  About 20 minutes in they show a gal in a bikini swimming in a pool and Dylan says "helllllo".  Mrs. SLB slowly looks over at me like, well, you know. Dyl then tries to blame the comment on me. Little #####. lol

Later, when ##### Galore introduces her Flying Circus gals Cal murmurs "wow".   Mrs. SLB goes off. "Blonds!  What is it with you guys and blonds!". 

Feel kind of bad because she made us all an awesome dinner of Chicken Involtini tonight but hey, blonds.

 
Didn't really come to spout #### but I promised I would when things got better.  Things have for the most part.  Still more ####ed up things than I really want but that's life eh?

Remember a year, year and and a half ago when I was insane for the kid picking on Cal?  Well it never really stopped. Cal, God love him, had just been keeping it to himself. That and Mrs. SLB was keeping me sheltered. Cal is a good kid. A good BIG kid but he doesn't have the kill in him like I do.  He'll be 13 in a couple of months and is 5'7 135 pounds. Strong as an ox. He just doesn't want to fight though. He doesn't want to defend himself, he just doesn't understand people being mean.

Cal was at Scouts a couple of months ago and this same kid told Cal to go hang himself. He wasn't worth being around. I'll remind you that this kid's dad is a Scout leader. It was an usually warm Febraury and I was sitting in the back on the path, wearing shorts, just enjoying the day, when he came home.  Now, when I'm on the bench in the path, I prefer to be left alone but he came to me and gave me a big hug and started crying. He told me what happened. I'm now enraged again but didn't let him see that.  I just held him and told him everything would be alright, I would take care of it.

Weeks went by and I brought him to Scout meetings but this #### face (FF) was nowhere to be found.  Couldn't locate an address for him either.  Finally get my chance at the deal where they hand out badges.  So I confronted the guy, with all good intentions, that we could talk it out.  He was an ####### out of the gate.  I didn't realize that Mrs. SLB was watching... here's her how she saw it.

Oh, good, Bob is talking to him. Looks like everything is okay.

Wait, everything ISN'T okay.

No, everything is fine.

NO, THINGS ARE NOT FINE.

OH #### BOB IS GOING TO PUNCH HIM

I didn't punch him, as much as I wanted to. There were 20 people around, minimum. I think I got through to him but don't #### with my special needs kid you ####.

 
My favorite part was when I walked away, Mrs. SLB, again, didn't even know she was in the room, went ooooohhhhh like he was just owned, and he was.

 
Lets see

Dylan is has Hey Jude about half way down on the piano. He wants to play and sing it at the talent show this year.

Both boys honor rolled again. ########s were both a couple of points from straight A's

I've walked a lot.

Booze is good

I got an invite to some movie about an Island involving horses

I've  been working more than I like

meh

 
You should have suckerpunched the scoutmaster.

And while he's sitting on his ###, in a semi-daze say to him

"Next time....

...be prepared

:lmao:   I tried to walk away with a stern warning but he mouthed off.  My hands were in my pockets the whole time I was talking to him. Hands were now out and he was about to die and he  knew it.

 
So what's a good answer? Honest question

"I don't feel comfortable telling you my age at this point in the negotiation"

"You'll find out on your background check"

"Old enough to know you can't ask that"

"Still 25 YOLO :fingerguns:"

Don't see how any of that helps Bob, tbh.
