GM's thread about nothing (62 Viewers)

It’s not clear why German neo-Nazis have seized on Cookie Monster instead of another Sesame Street character for their pamphlets aimed at young children. Why not Count von Count, who has a German-sounding last name?
The count?? Have you SEEN that nose??
They can't do Elmo, because he's red, that ticklish little pansy.

I'm thinking Ernie. He's diminutive and easily underestimated, like Himmler.

 
8 year-old is 5 tissues and about an hour into dinner. I only put two bites worth of meatloaf, 2 noodles, and a piece of broccoli the size of a fingernail (smothered in cheese sauce) on her plate. She is on her second helping of ketchup though....

I've been sitting on the couch watching Outbreak on free HBO for a half hour and it's never occurred to her to just flip it to one of the dogs since I can't even see her from here.

 
You know what's weird? Marriage fights. Wife and I have been silently hating each other for the better part of 2014. Last week we didn't argue, yell or get pissed at each other but we had a level headed fight (argument/discussion). Things couldn't be better. We're having fun again. :akbar:

I don't air dirty laundry and I'm not sure why I just told you guys but it's a good thing :thumbup: :pickle:

Started teh final final season of BB tonight. "If you don't know me. You should tread lightly" might be the most bad ### line ever (at least til the end of BB that I haven't seen yet), and I'm a huge Vic Mackey fan.
Babies are hard. The worst year of our marriage between the two of us was when we had our second kid and were dealing with a baby and a 2.5 year old, I'm pretty sure we both wanted to kill each other multiple times a day. Now the kids are almost 6 and 3.5 and things are awesome. Any marriage where nobody ever thinks homicidal thoughts is probably a marriage not worth having, imo.
pretty standard stuff here, imo

 
Got promoted today. I now have Senior in my title as befits my advancing years. It's about a year overdue but nice to be recognized, even when it's late. Came with a strengthening of the golden handcuffs so that next Christmas when I'm killing myself it will be even harder to consider walking away.

Of course, it's all moot since I'm going to die from face d*ck mole cancer.

Can I get a quick neighbor issue ruling?

I just put some outdoor lighting in. I have a fence on my property which is super nice but only faced on my side. The previous neighbor who sold declined to face it on their side. Whatever.

So I had my electrician run the LV cable tacked to the outside of the fence. All this material is still on my property, but the neighbor left me a note about this today I assume to ##### about how he has to look at 4 feet of black LV cable on a dark brown fence.

Where do I stand on the neighbor ####### scale here? I didn't even know they looked out the side of that house, they certainly don't use that yard as it's just a place for their dog to take a ####.
I'd imagine he's upset about the flood lights shining in his window, rather than the cord, but I could be wrong.
No. They point towards me and it's fine with the code. Well see. No hoa here thank god.
Well talked with the guy, he was practically yelling mad from the first second and I barely could get a word in. End of the conversation he said he was calling the city and called me a #####.

Funniest thing was he said the whole thing was a fire hazard, I guess he's unaware of a 400,000btu gas heater roughly 4 inches from the 12v lights he's so worried about.

We want to start going for #2 in a few months. But yeah the crux of it wasn't even the kid. It was more of a resentment (is that a word) that we had towards each other blah blah blah. We still want to kill each other but we're laughing about how we would do it. She told me she would roofie me with beer flavored cyanide. That's the kind of love that you wait your whole life for
Exactly. And even if it's not about the kid, it's because of the kid. They're stressful. Even if you aren't pissed at each other because it's kid related, it's usually stemming from the lack of sleep and the extra stress and what not. This may not apply to everybody, but I certainly saw it happen in my life. The second baby is way worse.
Oh great.

Congrats!

On the job, not the d*ck mole cancer.

Yeah, so congrats and best wishes on that little bundle of marriage killing joy you're growing in your belly. Have one on us!

Does this work?? My 7 year old eats practically nothing and it's a PIA. We've had battles over it, but we haven't gone after it hardcore thinking it will work itself out in time. Anyone else have some input on this?

 
Kid has been here three days and just made his 37th Seattle reference. Not schtick.

Favorite team: Sounders. Wants to move there after college (6 years). Talks about Seattle housing and the waterfront and the island. Shut up you're 15.

 
Just watched Something About Mary with my 11yr old daughter. That was a mistake.
WTF? Had you not seen it before?
I had, but it has been so many years that I forgot how bad it was. Plus, I've had lots of concussions. :wall:
What was the exact moment when you first cringed and thought "bad idea"? :popcorn:
We started somewhat late into the movie. The super cringe moment was, after stepping out of the room to talk to my wife, walking back in to see Stiller trying to crank one out before his date with Mary.

"Daddy, what's he doing?"

"Uh, scratching." *click*

Yeah, that'll do it. :lol:

Are they snacking during the day? If so, stop it. If they still don't want I eat dinner, big deal. They're not going to starve.

 
In San Diego. Have a redeye with a 6 am layover in Charlotte. I land, have to drive am hour home, Shower, them head to office. #### me.

I told the boss something has to give. I'm trying to manage 5 people at 2 remote locations, recruiting for another engineer, on top of a whole load of new product project work and special projects.

I may be mostly to blame, as I'm always eager about taking on more and never want to shy away from a challenge. But #### if I'm not goin to have a heart attack with this on top of my issues at home.

With mine, it's just trying to broaden her diet. She'll get so worked up she practically gags when you try to get her to try a bite of anything she's decided she doesn't like or want to try. We never ate nearly as healthy a diet as we should have to begin with, but while trying to get my wife's fibromyalgia under control, family meals ended up being more a short order free for all rather than a planned menu, and reining that back in sucks, but has to be done. If nothing else, they'll learn to be able to eat what's offered to them with making a face when the occasion calls for it.

Also, lifelong UK fan here, so congrats on everybody's gambling wins and all, but I humbly suggest using the proceeds to go buy a bag of ##### to eat. Thought they could overcome the lousy foul shooting when UCONN's guards started fighting with each other, but it was not to be. Oh well, at least I have 155 or so more games of watching the Reds not score enough runs to look forward to.

 
I probably don't appreciate it enough but I've got a kid who's always eaten everything put in front of him and who likes pretty much all of it.
