Wait.....pajamas?!?!?

 

[Josie Maran]

i wore these footed pajamas on Thanksgiving morning. Guster

This one may have gotten lost in the shuffle, but there's some questions that need to be asked.1. That's you in the pic, right?

2. Was that pic taken on Thanksgiving morning?

3. If not, did you actually change into those pajamas just to take the pic?

4. If so...I really can't think of what to say if that's the case.

 

[Thorn]

part of me feels like I might have run a red light for someone to try and make an illegal u-turn like that, but I'm pretty sure i didn't????

This is a question?

That's why I'm confused. They also could have been confused because there is a left arrow turn lane on the other side that gets to go first before the other side. They might have seen them start going and assumed they had the green light.

wow

 

[Bogart]

Someone asked earlier what we wanted for Christmas. I was going to say Guster's castoffs. I'm having second thoughts.

So this show called Flashpoint is on in the background...nothing special, standard cop procedural. But it's nice to see Enrico Colantoni still getting work.

For the CPAP guys. I got one last year, but couldn't get used to it. I have terribly narrow sinuses and can force myself to sleep on my back.Anyways, my question is if you have ever been issued life insurance while on a CPAP? I'm filling out my forms now, and I have this gut feeling that the CPAP is going to shoot my rates through the roof. Thoughts?

I got life insurance through Prudential and I'm on CPAP. My friend was the agent and he said I had the best possible health rating. He thanked me because all of our friends are in such ####ty health they were making him look bad.

Almost got into a pretty bad car accident last night. This morning I'm still kind of shakey. I was on PCH and I am almost positive I had the green light, but the person coming from the opposite direction, in a left arrow turn lane made an illegal u-turn right in front of me. It was dark and they were in a black SUV. I had to slam on my brakes, skid, and swirved into their left turn lane to avoid the collision. I was probably a mere 4 feet from a head-on into the rear of their car. I've driven through there a million times, but a part of me feels like I might have run a red light for someone to try and make an illegal u-turn like that, but I'm pretty sure i didn't???? It's bothering me now.

WAT? to have a "head-on" collision you gotta hit them "head-on". What you almost had was a "butt-on" collision.

I almost smashed head-on into the right rear portion of their car. They were making an illegal u-turn and they were about 1/3 of the way through this action. Therefore at that point their car was perpendicular to the lane I was in.

why didn't you just stop?

that's not "head-on"if you rear end someone you don't say I almost smashed head-on into their rear bumper

Of course, I can get a hell of a good look at a T-Bone steak by sticking my head up a bull's ###, but I'd rather take the butcher's word for it.

he almost hit them in the right rear side. the T-bone I believe is when you hit them in the middle of the side.

I have a new skill set that I hope to market should I ever need to interview for a new job...

I've learned that I can - with a fairly high accuracy rate - tell you what state the litigants from Judge Judy hail from. That's gotta be worth something, right? I can also spot female asian drivers from 100-200 yards away.

Just sent a note taking myself out of the running for Portland job. Sorry, GBGM. :(

That's alright. I've upgraded Honduras and Panama over Nicaragua in my Central American Banana Republics to Exploit/Avoid.Also, I removed Memphis from all my maps.

I have no idea what a CPAP is, but it seems that everyone in here uses one.

sleep apnea anti-death machine, I assume. Never realized it was so prevalent.

Lots of fatties in here.

Anyone ever hear Ryan Beaver or Brian Keane?

Any good?

I'm trying to put together some 3 day weekend packages. I have Louis CK tix, but they're for a Thur night and I want to add a Fri night show to the deal.

Rite Aid beats Costco in beer prices. True story and 100% correct.

I enjoy Brian Keene quite a bit. (assuming that's who you meant) He writes a lot of horror and zombie stuff. Nothing earth-shattering, but pretty good for the "genre".ETA: Keene has also corresponded with me on twitter, so I have that going for me. He's a big bourbon/cigar guy.

 

[General Malaise]

Costco is pretty awesome but the prices aren't great on everything.

The worst thing about Costco and Sam's is that they have decent prices on a very limited amount of merchandise. You like Chunky Soup? It's like $1.10 a can...if you like home-style chicken noodle. Cold cereal? We've got a price you can't beat...if you dig Frosted Cheerios. Some of their dry-goods prices aren't too bad. Things like laundry detergent or 409 or whatever are decent. But if you just check your nearby supermarket(s) for sales you can probably find a better deal.

We pretty much buy store brand for about everything but a handful of items.What about electronics, toys, etc?

DO you have a Costco? I think they would fit your needs a lot better. Also, Costco's house brand "Kirkland" is very good and they make everything from soap to wine. THey also have a whole lot of organic things now and a lot of a more "upscale" type of products. Sam's is more for small businesses and Costco is more for general public (that makes at least 50K-75K). Much less riffraff in a Costco than Sams. Also, if it matters to you, Costco treats their employees much better than the Walton family. In Texas, you can go into either anytime without a membership to buy wine. That gives you a good chance to look around and see if its worth it to join.Things I get regularly at Costco: Organic Eggs $4/dz, grass fed heavy cream $3/qt, 4# frz organic blueberries $11, 2.5# fresh spinach $4, 6 heads romaine $3, batteries, linens, towels, vitamins, fresh organic valencia OJ $7 gal, paper products, soaps/cleansers (Kirkland brand), and wine.At Sam's I get kitchen suppiles/equip, Dining rooms supplies: tablecloths, smallwares, TVs, electronics, bulk flour, rice, sugar,The best thing about both stores is that since you are a member, you needn't keep receipts to do returns. They have all purchases recorded by your membership on their computers. And both places have great return policies. THat alone would make me go to either place, even if they were not cheaper.

No propane exchange at Costco. Also, the congestion is too much for me. They should move the free samples somewhere else, like the middle of the expressway. But, we just became executive members this summer and my wife is happy with it. I bought a huge 50 pound bag of dog food there for $18. It gave my dog horrible gas for about 2-3 nights, but has finally gone away. He likes the food, I like the price. Bought a Kirkland brand water proof jacket for biking and love it. $25. Can't beat that. But Rite Aid has them on beer prices. Feather in Rite Aid's cap.
