GM's thread about nothing (25 Viewers)

So I had an ultrasound done on both legs today. Obviously, this is a rich opportunity for shtick, so I was thinking something along the lines of "Look into my eyes when you do that" or "How about some more gel right here?"

Unfortunately, one look at the mousey little Indigo Girl that was going to perform the procedure told me that this would be a shtick-free environment. I can't ever remember having less fun having warm gel smeared all over me.

The followup with my doctor, a guy I have known since he was in medical school 30 years ago, a guy I have been to Vegas with, went fine. I don't have clots that would make air travel next month a risky proposition. But one thing leapt out the bloodwork and pimp-slapped me. My glucose was high. Real high. High enough that I have to get it tested again, and if I roll the same number, I'm diabetic. :unsure:

On the plus side, he re-upped my Vicodin prescription.
Good luck buddy. I'm not even gonna make a magical outer space hair reference. Just hope for the best for you.
 
watching the Grammies sounds like watching a bunch of elderly women do something. Perhaps they should get their own awards show. Gadzooks and Tanner would definitely watch.

is it really a fetish if they are the same age as you?
 
I thought the brief mention of my seeing two pairs of boobies pressed up against each other sans clothing would evoke more of a reaction from this group of old pervs. Y'all just keep up the scrotum talk. :thumbup:
If you had pics you'd already be flaunting them.But if you're itching to make yourself look awesome, go ahead and tell the story of you opening the wrong door at your plastic surgeon's office.

ProTIP - make your weigh in days on Thursdays. Rationale is that you want to weigh in on days after it's "easiest" to stick to the plan as much as possible. Mon-Wed is typically just work and not many social functions.You can still drink, you just need to bank the points. I basically eliminated beer and drank a lot of rum & diet coke
Yeah, I made some chili this weekend, so I have some Kalik and Bells Amber in the fridge. I'm going to clear out that six pack tonight and sign-up tomorrow. I already downloaded the app.
 
Just ate at this place: http://www.panzano-denver.com/index.php

Ridiculously good, and the company picked up the tab. Also, I need to not drink wine around my superiors. Tomorrow should be a hoot.
What's with all the gluten free stuff?
Colorado? :shrug:
"Gluten-free" is reaching fad status.The only real reason to go gluten-free is if you have Celiac Disease...which is pretty terrible. You know how many people actually have Celiac? .75-1% of the population.

People are pretty stupid. :shrug:
 
Surgery was a success, no complications. Were able to "refurbish" the bone as planned. Dad is awake and fine. Thanks for the georgethoroporishs.

 
So my trimmer died (yes I have a mustache/goatee...#### off). Also served as a trimmer for the rest of my body (I washed it, which may explain why it died). Been thinking about shaving off the goatee, but the wife likes it so I may need to discuss it with her. I have a scar on my chin so it helps hide that.

So I was looking at http://www.amazon.com/Philips-BG2040-34-Bodygroom-Grooming/dp/B0037HP9OA/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1329232300&sr=1-1

Guys really go clean shaven on their legs/groin? I keep it trimmed, but no hair at all? That seems weird to me.

:popcorn:

Could we please curb the risque language and improper subject matter in this thread? If you want to talk about prostitutes, liquor, and fornication feel free to take it somewhere else. This isn't an opium den.

For the Uranium players....

Why is Dallas Federal Reserve president Richard Fisher holding as much as $250,000 worth of uranium in his portfolio?

FORTUNE -- If you are worried that inflation might soon soar and you want to protect your 401(k), here's an investing tip: Buy uranium. At least that seems to be the thinking of one of the top officials at the Federal Reserve.

In early February, the Federal Reserve revealed for the first time the portfolios of the presidents of the Fed's regional banks. Unlike Fed governors, the bank presidents don't get a regular vote on whether the short-term interest rates set by the Fed should go up or down. But they are the Fed's top ranking regional officials, leading the Fed's efforts in monitoring the economy around the country and regulating local banks. So they should have better insight into where the economy is headed than the rest of us. Or so you would think.

Which is why the investment portfolio of Richard Fisher, the head of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas is interesting, and perhaps worrying. For the most part, the presidents' portfolios are what you would expect for relatively wealthy Americans - a mix of stocks and bonds and mutual funds. Among the stock picks of the Fed presidents are Apple (AAPL), Boeing (BA), Coca-Cola (KO) and JetBlue (JBLU). Generally, the portfolios of the Fed presidents are positioned to do well when the U.S. economy does well.

But Fisher is the one exception. Fisher's portfolio includes 7,000 acres of land in Texas, Georgia, Iowa and Missouri; a $1 million investment in a fund that tracks the price of gold; and as much as $250,000 worth of uranium. He has also at times invested in funds that rise in value when the stock market falls.

Fisher has a large portfolio - $21 million - and the ethics officer at the Dallas Fed is careful to say that Fisher doesn't select his actual investments. That's done by an outside broker. Nonetheless, Fisher has been one of the most outspoken critics of the Fed's own current low-interest-rate policy. He thinks Bernanke policies could setting us up for a big jump in inflation, even if there appears to be little sign of that yet (and price increases have actually been slowing lately). And Fisher's portfolio seems to confirm his fears about the economy, and inflation in particular. Commodities, metals - gold in particular - and real estate, are traditionally seen as a good inflation hedges. Still, even among those who worry about inflation, uranium is an unusual pick.

One reason is because you can't own the actual metal. Storing radioactive materials in your house is generally frowned upon by neighbors. Fisher owns shares in a company called Uranium Participation Corp., which is based in Canada and generally tracks the value of the metal, much like an ETF. Still, uranium hasn't had the run up that gold or other traditional inflation hedges have had in recent years, which is why uranium could be a good pick now, but not because it will protect you against inflation.

In fact, it hasn't. Early last year, when oil prices, commodities and prices in general, though more modestly, were heading up, uranium was going in the opposite direction: Down. That's because of the Japanese tsunami and resulting nuclear disaster. The primary use of uranium is to fuel nuclear reactors, and it appears the price of uranium is more tied to the projected future use of nuclear fuel than inflation. So when the Japanese disaster raised concerns about the safety of nuclear reactors, and predictions that some countries would abandon using them, the price of uranium fell by about a third in 2011 to a low of $49 a pound. It recently was priced at $52.

Still, if you are worried about the growth of U.S. economy, uranium could be a good way to play emerging markets, particularly China and India. Casey Research's Marin Katusa, who is one of the few energy analysts who follows uranium, says he thinks prices of the radioactive metal could jump 50% in the near future. There are currently 440 working nuclear power plants in the world. China is planning to add 200 reactors to that nation's energy infrastructure. India could add as many as 60 reactors. Russia another 50 or so. Not all of these will be built. But the point is that uranium should be in more demand. So uranium could very well end up being a good call for Fisher, even if his prediction that inflation will take off is not.
Is this your clever way of saying, "Reduce your holdings to only 1% of your portfolio"?

I like seeing that people who should be intelligent are invested in some of the same things I am. That's reassuring. But the guy's worth $21 million. He probably has $250K in the cushion of his sofa, too.
 
Our office held a raffle today with Valentine's Baskets as the prizes. I tossed a couple of dollars in as the money is going to our Toastmaster's club.

Of course I win the big girlie basket with bath salts, lotions, luffa sponges, candles and chocolates. With no one to give it to, I guess my evening plans are going to include a nice romantic bath while munching on chocolates. Crock Pot Chicken by candlelight?
