GM's thread about nothing (31 Viewers)

[Mister Martie]

Honeydew you love me?

Yes, dear, but I cantaloupe!

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Wife was in Eugene last night for work, meaning I was flying solo with the kid duties. Man....if pimping be hard, then single-parenting be wow much exhausting very worky. Sorry, I won't do that again.

Spoiler

Left work at 2:20pm to pick up Hazel from her caretaker (note the non-usage of the term nanny...nobody wants to sleep with a caretaker). Thought, erroneously, that I'd be able to go to the store for supper supplies before getting the boys at school. Had to field a call from Kellen while writing my check to the cashier that dad didn't forget them, he was just running a little late. Sorry it's raining.

Get the kids, rush home to find the boys' best friend Nathan outside dribbling a basketball, waiting for the boys to get home. He's a 6th grader and I guess this week, Beaverton middle school kids don't go to school. <_< Oregon wonders why its kids are struggling to graduate and lag behind the rest of the nation in achievement. Think it has ANYTHING to do with the fact that Oregon kids have the shortest school year in the nation? Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Anyhow, Nathan was bored to tears and now my pack of 3 is a pack of 4, but WAIT...there's more. Coop's good buddy Jake came over at 4pm as I agreed to take him to basketball practice so his dad could go to the dentist. 5 energy packed kids under my roof, starving and needy, one of them pooping herself in the corner of the living room.

4:45 I've got to load Hazel, Coop and his buddy into my rig and pick up another kid on the team to carpool to basketball practice. Drop 'em off, rush back home, situate Hazel in front of the TV with a bowl of goldfish and Dora, task Kellen into his homework and start dinner. Homemade sloppy joes and fresh cut green beans. 6:30, Coop comes home, we chow down dinner at the table with Hazel, talk about our day.

Then, it's quick clean up, do the dishes, run the non-quiet, non-lighting dishwasher, time to throw Hazel in the bath and guess who has pooped again? This kid...she poops like it's an Olympic Sport. Clean that up, toss her in the tub, force the kids to finish their homework, clean up the family room that Hurricane Hazel tore apart and then get a text from my wife that the boys need to do their Valentines Day cards {insert Gay Seal here}. Barf.

Get Hazel to sleep after reading every godddd damn book in her room, take out the trash and then realize I have to make lunches for all three kids. Figure I'd do that so I didn't have to race around in the morning. Good god...by the time I sat down it was time for the boys (myself included) to go to bed. I tried to finish watching Zero Dark Thirty but failed to make it. That's the 4th time I tried to finish this movie since I recorded it in November. And I LIKE the movie. Just looooooooooooong.....

Spoiler tags because this is really just me venting. Not worth reading, really.

Hang on.

Writing a check?

Honeydew is the devil.

If the latest models turn out to be correct, we're looking at another 13" tonight for a total of 25" of snow. Screw that. MOP's invite is starting to look good.

Thought you were taking this in a completely different direction.

I surfed a 300 foot wave once.

The only time my wife's seen anything close to 13" was at the elephant exhibit at the zoo.

Frozen cantaloupe, orange juice concentrate, orange yogurt, and a dash of vanilla extract makes a tasty beverage called a dreamsicle

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

I always pick around those orange and green melon chuncks in fruit salad. Watermelon, on the other hand, is delicious.

I've been writing an industrial paint blog for about three months. A post a day means about 60ish different posts. Probably more actually. I have written about everything imaginable as it relates to professional painting. Brushes, additives, tools, measurement equipment, business, marketing, bristles, spray guns, rollers, automated paint robots, paint chemistry, etc.

I am falling behind schedule not because I am too busy but because I LITERALLY can't think of anything else to write about.

So here I sit.

Taping. Different trim brushes and weird gagets to cut trim time.

How to match older paint - the steps it takes.

Best storage and labeling for leftover paint.

Best, easiest touch up techniques and tools.

BAM!!

WTF? A paint blog?!?!

 

[Homer J Simpson]

 

[Abraham]

Why does an industrial paint company need a daily blog?

It's not for readers but rather SEO. So that when someone searches for a product they offer, the blog helps drive the product page to the top of the google rankings. It actually works extremely well.

We bought cantelope at Costco. It's phenomenal. I bet Tanner would hate it.

Cantaloupe is absolutely the most disgusting food ever. I won't even eat anything that has been in the presence of cantaloupe. :X

Wtf? Just for that, I'm mixing an entire 1/5 of Pappys with Ragu and shipping it to you (sans bottle).

I'm not sure this actually injures me. And what the hell? I never would have thought you to be the type to be in league with the evil melon.

Cantaloupes are a pox upon humanity.

 

[krista4]

Cantaloupe is awful. It's so awful that its awfulness infects everything it touches.

I won't eat anything that it even touches, nor anything that was in the room while it was being (gleefully, for me) murdered. I don't know what's the matter with these people.

I am almost, ALMOST, ready to forgive you for your Better Off Dead comments.
