No brownies though, right?I crushed some White Castles last night because I had the drunchies and it was there, but actions have consequences. Vile consequences that cause one to question their faith in humanity.

No, the consequences did not include brownies.No brownies though, right?
And you thought insurance was expensive before... ouch man, sorry.Remember that Jeep Wrangler 4 door I gave Roverkid for her birthday last month? Today she just about totaled my neighbor's crappy (but brand new) Fiat 500 with it. She was backing out of my driveway just after they had backed out of theirs. She didn't see them because my driveway is very steep, she's pretty short and their car is really small, so she just looked right over the top of it as she smashed the whole right front of their car with her spare tire. Not a scratch on the Jeep.
Glad nobody was hurt.Remember that Jeep Wrangler 4 door I gave Roverkid for her birthday last month? Today she just about totaled my neighbor's crappy (but brand new) Fiat 500 with it.

Allstate gives you one free accident every 5 years, so this one doesn't count. Rates won't change til she hits someone else.And you thought insurance was expensive before... ouch man, sorry.
Had to suck for her. I’m sure she was pretty upset. Glad nobody was hurt, especially with her concussion history.Allstate gives you one free accident every 5 years, so this one doesn't count. Rates won't change til she hits someone else.
That sounds like fun. I would add some more excitement to your day by messing with your wife's customized settings for the computers/tablets.we like to play a game in my house whereby my kids ask mom to do things, she agrees & then never follows up/completes the task. and if they remind her or ask again she gets really mad about it & then refuses to complete the task she promised.
it's pretty awesome.
the kids ask me to do stuff, too and i do it, but there are things my wife will lose her mind about having to do because she's super.. particular.
she's the computer expert around here. these things drive me nuts and she has customized the tablets, etc. with settings that she likes so i just don't #### with them.
kid comes to me tonight and says "i want to use the (cheap) blue laptop that mom bought for me like 2 years ago but it's broken & won't boot up." my spidey senses are tingling because i know this means she has asked mom for help and it's at the point where she has waited a long time and now mom is refusing to help.
so i ask some basic questions & determine that it has been plugged in for about a year, but it won't boot. no power. nothing she does works. so i google and the web says unplug the battery and then plug in the a/c cord and boot it back up.... or hopefully boot it up.
here i am taking the back of the laptop off... unplugging the battery and i ask the kid to fetch the cord. she goes upstairs to get the cord and comes back to tell me "THIS WASN'T EVEN PLUGGED IN TO THE WALL! IT WAS PLUGGED IN TO THE LAPTOP, BUT NOT THE WALL!!!!!!"
put it all back together. plug the cord in to wall and laptop.........annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd wa la.... power. works great.one year wasted for absolutely no reason at all
Saw a reddit or something recently where a kid had reset his parents phones to autocorrect yes and no to some ridiculous thing like "####### a right, broheim".That sounds like fun.

Why did you have cut/patch the drywall? I've installed a couple openers in my day and I just screwed the angle iron to the studs.A part on my garage door broke three separate times, so I just bought a new opener yesterday. Dismantled the old one yesterday and installed the new one today. Only problem is that the directions say something like "most garages have exposed beams. If you have a finished ceiling, you'll need to use different mounting hardware."
Thanks, that's a big help. Had to modify the mounting brackets for the powerhead, go to Home Depot and buy a six foot section of angle iron, cut it with an angle grinder, cut holes in the ceiling of my drywall to get everything secured and then patch the drywall. What should have been an hour turned into half a day.

Whole lotta euphemism possibilities here.He has a really steep driveway?Why did you have cut/patch the drywall? I've installed a couple openers in my day and I just screwed the angle iron to the studs.
He also has a wide stanceWhole lotta euphemism possibilities here.
The opener I was replacing (Opener No. 2) had a 12' rail. This one (Opener No. 3) is 10', which put it halfway between studs and made the angle iron they had secured to the ceiling for Opener No. 2 useless.Why did you have cut/patch the drywall?

Two thumbs up!I read today that Robert Ebert and Oprah Winfrey once dated. Weird.
Been pretty close to doing the same thing. If the league wasn’t with guys that I grew up with and connect with primarily through this league, I would have quit years ago.After 25 years I decided to quit my long-term fantasy football league this year. I don't have time to follow who's sick/quarantined/opting out/injured due to lack of conditioning, etc. I also don't think they're going to be able to pull off a legitimate full season. Let the league know if we switch to best ball I'd stick around, but if not I quit. Feels good to finally put fantasy football aside and just gamble on sports like a normal degenerate.
Dinner and a movie?I read today that Robert Ebert and Oprah Winfrey once dated. Weird.
Actually, reportedly yes.Dinner and a movie?
They totally did it.Actually, reportedly yes.
Allegedly she asked him whether or not he thought she should accept the syndication deal she was being offered on her AM Chicago show. He did some math calculations on some napkins, told her if it was more than the number he calculated she should do it, she did and the rest is history.
Wait...there's another way to do it?My time spent on it this year will almost entirely drafting using the Draft Dominator and then using FBG’s rankings to set my lineup each week. So pretty much 5-10 minutes tops each week. Have a feeling this will be my last year.
I use the rate my team app to tell me how badly I did on my draft after using the draft dominator. but other than that- basically, yeah.Wait...there's another way to do it?
I find that using rate my team after using draft dominator is usually just more reinforcement of their rankings. "Yay, you did good doing what we told you, your team is awesome!" And the truth is, it usually works out pretty well if I pay a little attention and make moves during the season. I kid about it but there's no way I'd still be playing FF without it.El Floppo said:I use the rate my team app to tell me how badly I did on my draft after using the draft dominator. but other than that- basically, yeah.
I'm not kidding- Rate my team hates my team after I use draft dominator. I've found a real disconnect between the two.I find that using rate my team after using draft dominator is usually just more reinforcement of their rankings.

More your speed?Just finished Yoga for Complete Beginners. Still too hard.
The problem is my toes. They just can't take it. I'll keep doing the parts I can take and try to find a workaround.
they will loosen up/get stronger. give it time.Just finished Yoga for Complete Beginners. Still too hard.

Come on now, everyone knows him and his partner Jim Siskel.We're just going to let Robert Ebert slide now, eh? This thread has lost quite a bit on it's fastball.
I think we may be looking for a new ownerHonestly it doesn’t matter what I do. 3/4 of my guys are going to get hurt, suspended, sit out or whatever. Every year Rate My Team gives me like a 90% chance of making the playoffs and every year I end up either missing the playoffs or barely sneaking in.
Long a go there was a time where putting in extra effort and time, and knowing the good FF sites, gave you a distinct advantage. Now, not only does everyone basically have the same access to all the same info, I no longer have time to invest. So at this point fantasy is really just straight up gambling. Who is going to get hurt/suspended and who gets lucky and picks up the waiver wire guy that turns out to be a stud. Fantasy football is 95% luck at this point and my luck has always been terrible
Beautiful carThis is not a political post, this is a post to laugh at the commercial itself. This is hilarious. I mean someone put this together and said "we nailed this"....

Thanks, heck. All of my home brewing equipment was in the basement. I haven't the heart yet to see what got ruined.Oof, sorry to hear, GB. Here's to a better day today.
Thanks, GD. Yeah, I needed the floors gone asap. I am concerned about the walls, though. Those are next to be checked. Water got at least to sill-plate level and I'm afraid some of the insulation may be wet.Man, that sucks UH. At least they got the remediation equipment in there quickly. That should prevent mold from becoming an issue.
