GM's thread about nothing (11 Viewers)

[General Malaise]

Way behind due to family travels (LOOK AT ME!), but wanted to share the pic I tweeted a couple days ago:

Zooks>Hey (Big River Grill and Brewery at DisneyWorld)

How did I taste? You want more, don't you? Admit it.

Heck, if you need to wash the taste of Gadzooks out of your mouf hole, I suggest some of my sweet nectar.

or if you wanna keep the buzz, try one of mine

Or one of mine (the closest I could come up with)

Really, Duplin Winery? North Carolina's premier winery? It just had to be a "fine red Muscadine table wine", huh?. <_<

 

[Zow]

I've been doing lunch duty again this semester after a 4 or 5 year haitus. I get a free tray of school lunch food, together with my trusty spork. This food is so disgusting. For example, today, I chose the nachos. What kind of a main dish is that? At best it's an unhealthy snack food. So to make up for the lack of dietary nutrition found in melted cheese on corn tostados, they included not one, but two cooked vegetables, peas and carrots, and green beans, both overcooked and mushy. I could have had cheese pizza instead, served with french fries and garlic toast. And this stuff is really filling. All week I haven't even been hungry when dinner time rolls around. I'll let you know when my buttons start popping off.

I've been enjoying the "Lamest State" thread quite a bit and noted quite a few members pooh-poohing New Mexico. I always liked New Mexico, but only visited as a tourist and never lived there. Curious what your thoughts of New Mexico are...did you move there from somewhere else or are you a native?I'll hang up and listen.

Yeah don't know me seriously in there.

Did you go to the same Engrish school as Hock Meng Tay?

Don't Hock Meng Take me seriously in there*

Is that like saying "Oklahoma's premier opera house"?

Oh please. You get mocked for one thing and it isn't even remotely accurate. Cosjobs is old enough to be your father. I get shot up at all angles like OJ Simpson in the Naked Gun. And hey, if I'm fortunate (because let's face it, my 'diet' isn't leading any actuaries to predict long life for me) I too will be the object of old jokes. Hell, my wife makes them all the time. Nothing like rocking out to an early 90's tune and telling my boys "Man, this song was HUGE back in college" only to hear my wife snicker and say "I was in 5th grade when this was big".

Florida is chock full of craptacular wineries. St. Sebastian in St. Augustine immediately comes to mind.

Curious what your thoughts of New Mexico are...did you move there from somewhere else or are you a native?I'll hang up and listen.

I'm a native. I was born in Albuquerque and have lived in southern NM for a while now. There are a lot of good things about this state. The weather is pretty good. It does get hot, especially this area, in the summer. But Albuquerque is usually only in the low 90s. We get all four seasons, but in moderation. It's a rare day anyone is shoveling snow. It's a dry climate, so you aren't oppressed with the high heat. The cost of living is pretty good. But then, salaries aren't that high, so I guess it balances out. But it's way cheaper to live in New Mexico, then say, California. I have a really nice, new, energy star house in a nice neighborhood for what I think is a bargain price. We don't get hurricanes or many tornadoes, or huge snowstorms. Occassionally there's a slight tremor, but almost never that you can feel, so earthquakes are not a factor.People are friendly and helpful. There is a big diversity of scenery. We have rocky mountains, a few small lakes, sandy deserts, colorful painted arches and mesas, trout fishing streams, ski resorts, volcanoes. We have aliens, a space port, and nuclear bombs. We have new agers, movie productions, wineries, and the biggest hot air balloon festival in the world.But we also have a lot of poor people and poorly educated people. And we don't have a major sports team. I still don't have a team, although I'd really like one. In some ways I really like living here. But in others it's lacking.

My brother lived there about 20 years and I spent a lot of time there. Really the only thing that bothered me about it (and kept me from moving there) was the poverty. Its a very, very poor state. So much so that it just kind of overwhelmed me and made me feel hopeless, unless I stayed secluded in little enclaves of mostly white prosperity. I do like it more than I am making it sound... we strongly considered moving there in the late 80s.

Are you "new age?"

I won't be attending the harmonic convergence retreat.

You're right, I wouldn't know at all anyway, I was only like 8 years old at the time and didn't have 4 decades of music to compare it to like you did.

I remember when I was at summer camp at age 14 or so trying to defend the band Vanilla Fudge as a 'supreme rock act' to a much older and much wiser counselor. I never thought I was wrong on that one. Until right now.

I've come to the realization that I get more enjoyment out of following the FB status updates of my fellow GMTANers than my "real" friends. Not sure how I feel about that, but you all are way more interesting than 95% of the people I'm FB friends with

Sorry to hear about how un-intersting your squirter is.

Oh she's plenty interesting. It's more the townies from high school and the people who link to everything they read online without stopping to think if it's actually something others would care about.

I've got some doozies when it comes to FB.Neal: Super smart dude I've know for years. Used to teach at Tulane before some hurricane or whatever destroyed all of his possessions. He teaches at the local JC now. But apparently his full time job is posting every single article, video, tweet, snippet, or shadow puppet that has to do with atheism. I almost wish there was a God so he could hit Neal with a lightning bolt.Gwen: My cousin who is going through her 3rd divorce. She started a "gratitude journal" last month. Every day she posts almost a paragraph about what she is thankful for. She's also an advocate for breast feeding and likes to post news stories about how breast milk is the greatest thing since breasts.George: Old friend of my brothers. Participated in Movember. He's still posting daily pics of his stache and goat.Bob: Guy I went to HS with. Moved from Arizona to Jackson Hole, Canada or wherever it is. At least every other day we get a weather report from BFE including a photo of thermometer in his car. "9 degrees in the valley today!" The remainder of his posts are pics of his kids doing stuff. His kids are like 12 and 14 now. I don't think he understands that by that age nobody cares that your kid is doing the same thing every other kid his age is doing "Here's Dylan on his skateboard!". And one of his kids looks like a grown-up version of a certain FBG's kid (that horrid avatar photo). :shudder:

I have a facebook friend who is convinced that Beyonce, Jay-Z, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are all active members of the Illuminati.

Most of my entire extended family are the type of Christians who believe in a 6000 year old earth, think that God is a republican, and anybody who disagrees with them wants to slaughter babies in a Wal-Mart parking lot.So, yeah, if you see someone dumb on my facebook page, please ignore them or disagree with more class than they show. I'm related to them. You can't choose your family.

So true.

Just got a second fridge from my brother for the garage. Pretty excited about all the extra space for meat and beer. The lady of the house is outraged because this will apparently send the electric bill THROUGH THE ROOF!!!!!

Where do you live and how old is it?

Chicago suburbs. Fridge can't be more than 10 years old.

Some fridges only have one thermostat regulated by the fridge portion and not the freezer, so during the winter it thinks it's cold enough, and anything in the freezer will thaw.So just be careful about putting too much meat in the freezer right away.

Aside from sticking a heater near the back of the fridge, is there any way to avoid this? I'm experiencing this phenomenon right now.

So I haven't heard anything about the job yet. And my references haven't been contacted. They said it would be the middle-to-end of this week before I heard anything, so technically we're still in that window. But I just have this nasty feeling that they have already offered it to the other candidate and are waiting for his/her acceptance before they call me.

Also, on my unexciting job front, I'm going to go ahead and interview for that job in Chicago because they are flying their person to meet me on Monday. I mean, if they're going to those lengths, I'll give it a shot. I've never heard of the interviewer flying to meet the interviewee.
