Listening to my wife on the phone with a customer. Obviously I can only hear one side of the conversation but if I had my wife's job I would have hung up 10 minutes ago.
Yea, dealing with the public can be a trying experience.I had a guy call me a couple weeks ago saying he bought an ink cartridge 2 years ago and just got around to putting it into his printer and it doesn't work.Really, 2 years??? Try taking it back to OfficeMax or someplace and see what they tell you. :wall:
Sorry about that. I thought the 1020 would work in the 3020.
So it WAS you! :lmao:
 
I'm having trouble following, since I think fish's definition of dating might be different than my own. How many of these girls are you sleeping with?
2. The other two are works in progress.
Ok, thanks. I'd drop Knuckles, keep working the FWB thing with the 20-something, and pursue new prospects at every opportunity. :banned: Edit: but I realize you're not asking for advice here.
Impossible. She's like a vampire at this point. When he shoots her down she just crawls under the floorboards to regenerate her powers and reappears two months later like nothing happened.
I love knuckles. She's one of the best supporting characters in GMTAN stories ever. IMO, she ranks up their with Destiny, Hock Meng Tay and that cat that used to email Krista.
I think I missed this one.
Go to the first post of thread, GM has it linked there.

More brilliant discourse from the paralegals sitting outside my office:

How do I know whether I live in Memphis, Bartlett or Shelby County? Because I need to get my car licensed, and when I looked online, the pricing was different for each. So how do I know which one I live in?
The conversation has been ongoing for at least 10 minutes now. No resolution has been reached.
Fire Date them.
Fixed for you.

I have a metal detector installed at my front door like the entrance to a Compton high school.
A sensible precaution, but you should consider the additional step of having Knuckles chipped.
 
Is going on a cruise like going to Wal Mart for 5 days?

Looking at family vacation ideas and I'm shamefully considering a cruise because the built in baby sitting activities for the little ones is the most affordable option where we're not limited in our own activities because of them. The other options is to go somewhere and bring along my Mother in Law which I am NOT prepared to do at this point in time.
Less than a year into his new marriage, my non-drinking father decided to take the new family on a cruise. I was the oldest at 19 y/o, stayed with the parents, and my sister and stepsisters stayed in the other room. Considering the cruise left exactly the day after my Sophomore year of college let out, it wasn't exactly an older crowd. I had a blast, met several friendly wimmens, partook in some pharms, drank tons, gambled far too much, became a smuggler through customs for the first time (not caught), and did I mention I had a blast? ...but I still wouldn't get on a cruise again. My dad probably isn't excited about another one either as he hasn't been on one since that one nearing 20 years ago.One night in particular, I wound up banging on a door 3 cabins away and on the other side of the hall before someone woke up and walked me to mine. Apparently this wasn't a difficult task considering it happened the night before to the same couple in that room. Unless you're stupid, you know I'm not going on my own, personal memory of the incident.

Hola everyone.

Hey Jeep. How's it going?We're going to a family reunion starting tomorrow. There can't be anything worse than a family reunion in my wife's family. Nobody drinks. The family reunions on my side are also awful, but at least I know that my dad will have a case of the beer in the suburban that we can excuse ourselves to throughout the course of the afternoon to make visiting with my 90 year old relatives that I don't remember or care about tolerable.

I'm thinking about feeding JR some expired ham that's in the fridge for breakfast tomorrow morning on the off chance that he'll throw up and we'll have to skip the whole deal.

What could go wrong?
Seems foolproof. Of course, he's so excited to see his grandparents that I had to remind him twice that we were leaving in the morning when he got up AND AFTER THE SUN CAME UP. Otherwise, he'd be in our room at 2:30 a.m. with his suitcase demanding to go.

What's with having to sneak the beers?Getting together with my dad's side of the family on Saturday for a crawfish boil. I'm sure everyone will be loaded.

Technically, the family reunions on my side are my mom's family, and they're not big fans of open consumption. The Bentleys drink at everything, but we're also too lazy to organize events of our own.
 
Just out of curiosity are crawfish really worth it? Isn't there a lot of work involved for just a tiny bit of meat? I'm asking because I don't eat crawfish.

Too much work to make yourself, but awesome if bought from Geaux Teef LaRoy for $5 a pound during a three day bender in New Orleans.

Some work involved but not as much as eating crab legs or whole blue crabs, in my opinion.My uncle's the expert at cooking them so we let him do all the work.

North side of Milwaukee. Cedarburg to be specific. Beer is nice. :banned:

Is going on a cruise like going to Wal Mart for 5 days?

I've never been on one because it seems to me you're basically trapped with a bunch of people. I know the ships are huge though. Booze isn't free either, right? I'd probably just sit in the casino the whole time except for when we get to leave the ship for the day.Also, I know several "cruise people" through work or otherwise and they're mostly nutcases.
I've been on one and that's enough for me. Glad I did it, but I won't ever do it again. Not only do you have to pay for booze, but most of them make you pay for coffee and if you are a soda junkie, you pay for that too. And the most egregious thing I noted was they include 15% gratuity on all charges. They don't tell you this or if they do, I didn't hear it. A bit of warning would be nice. Because right underneath the automatic 15% gratuity is a line for an additional tip. If you are absent minded and not paying attention, you'll be tipping on top of 15%. That crap pisses me right off and I won't cruise again because of it. That's not the only reason I won't do it again, but it's a big one. You will run into the same people over and over again. We had one enormous, obnoxious, loud east coast Jewish family on our massive cruise ship that complained about everything and made a gigantic scene everywhere they went. Their kids were unruly and the grownups were even worse. They made huge messes with food and yelled at servers...just a hideous group and I won't ever subject myself to that sort of torment again. I wanted to punt the 'man' of the family overboard. He whined incessantly and I just couldn't avoid them no matter how hard I tried.

If you don't have a balcony room, your interior room will be small and cramped. The bathroom is a joke. And be prepared to tip everybody. Their hands are out and you'll get cross looks if you don't fork it over.

By the end of the trip, I had to settle out my account. I owed about $600 in booze/excursions/services. This is on top of the huge price tag I paid to go on the cruise. Screw that.

Those are the negatives....there are some positives. Seeing Alaska in a different light was pretty cool. Seeing whales and dolphins and glaciars and eagles was very cool. Having access to a casino was pretty cool, though if you are going to do an Alaskan cruise, be prepared for the casino to open and close depending on where you are in the water. Sometimes it was open and other times it was closed.

Cruise entertainment is corny, cheesy and designed for the elderly. It's where 5th rate actors go to die.
You're doing it wrong. I know it's not for everyone but if you're matched with a line that suits your taste, they can be a lot of fun and a good value. What cruise line were you on? The experience from line to line (Carnival --> Princess/Holland --> Norwegian/Royal Caribbean) can be considerably different.
 
As I mentioned to earlier, I get to chaperone the junior prom tonight. The good news is that the entire chaperoning crew is from 24-33, and we've decided that when the kids clear out of the place, we are moving 15 feet to the hotel bar where we will quickly drink away the $77 earned for our services.

A better work to value ratio than crabs but not as tasty; still worth it imo.

I just took a package of Chocolate Chip Quaker's Oatmeal, made it, adding a bit of extra hot water and then stirred in a teaspoon of peanut butter. I basically just made Reese's Oatmeal and I may never eat anything for breakfast again.
