GM's thread about nothing (21 Viewers)

[General Malaise]

I did a big back yard paver project a few years ago. Despite painstakingly doing everything according to the book to keep grass from growing back underneath it, the grass started coming back almost immediately. The whole thing looked like dog#### after about six months. I paid a guy six grand last summer to pull the whole thing out and replace it with a stone patio. So, enjoy your new project!

This is good information.

Today's fukc cancer update

My sister just posted this about her daughter - many of you generously donated to a benefit for her a couple of years back, and I haven't provided a lot of updates since.

It is with a hevay heart and great sadness that I have to write this today. Over the last couple of months Brian, Lisa and I along with Cathy's doctor have had numerous discussions about if/when to stop Cathy's treatments. During this time we also read her living will and it was very clear she would not want to live this way. Still we were just not ready to let her go. In the past few weeks her quality of life has been declining and continues to do so. Which means the toll it is taking on Brian and the girls is increasing. This past week Brian, Lisa and I decided it was time. Time to stop the treatments. Time to let Cathy go. Even the doctor has no idea with stopping the treatments what comes next or how long we will have her so the future is very unclear. Hospice will be taking over now with her medical needs to keep her comfortable and anything else she needs. Will keep you posted as things change.

If you are having family get togethers this holiday weekend treasure every person there and let them know how special they are in your life because you just never know when it may be the last time you get this chance.

Oh. I'm so sorry GB. Just so sorry. TPW1000 to you, your sister and that sweet Cathy.

Been doing what has turned into a massive project in the yard.

We have discovered that the best place for a table in the yard is not on the prefab concrete slab. Nah, it's off to the side in the grass. So the wife asked if I could put pavers down where the table should go, I said sure honey! Holy Jesus, it's been a lot of work. My arms are so ####### sore from excavating 50 square feet of lawn I could really use some norco, can anyone fax me some? And it's gonna look sweet! so sweet, that I think the whole side of the house should probably have the pavers.

Might need to seek your advice on a similar project we are investigating for our backyard.

Happy to share what little insight I have.

#1) contract out the digging/leveling portion

If we end ip doing the rest of the side yard, I will absolutely hire someone, even if it's just a couple dudes from the Home Depot parking lot.

I live in a desert, SoCal. Grass doesn't grow very easily, plus the dirt is awful. Some horrid clay mixture that just sucks for anything to grow out of it, so hopefully I'll be alright. I'm going to cap the sprinklers that hit the area as well, so with little water, I should be ok.

I'm a talentless hack to I pay everybody to do just about everything for me. I think it took 2-3 guys about 6 months to do all of my landscaping. #### that noise.

I've in the past few nights had no more than about 90 minutes uninterrupted. Running on fumes. It's not even 5:30 and it feels like 10pm. And I'm sure the Terrorist is going to not sleep tonight either, so it all continues, in an endless cycle, until I nod off at the steering wheel on my way up to get a pint of Haagen Das that I'm going to use as a medium by which to eat my feelings, careen into a ditch, and my wife and kids are posting posthumous messages on my Facebook page about what a swell guy I was.

While I appreciate the BS schtick answer, it doesn't ring true. I stopped at one for a number of reasons, one of the main ones being the utter and total state of exhaustion I was in with one. Can't imagine 2,3,4. And the sleep doesn't get that much better. Sleeping in is gone until she's a teen ager, and maybe not even then. More power to you, I was just curious, since you seem so miserable.

Foook cancer!!!

 

[cosjobs]

Big fan of strip clubs.

SLJ's death is still amazing

You scared me there for a minute.

Oh my god it actually did panic me for a few seconds! I still don't know who SLJ is but as long as it wasn't SLB, I'm OK now.

I don't think you can kill the Grim Reaper

[Stoneys]

So I made my call to the juror clerk today. Yay. I get to show up at 8:30am Tuesday. The day after Memorial Day. Oh the joy. Then I left work. Had a cop pull out behind me with their lights on. Ok lucky for me he kept going. A little bit later some jackhole in front of me tried to cut off a tractor trailer. That didn't work, so he drifted back towards me. Laid on the horn and had to swerve to avoid him. Then about 500ft from my house some idiot lady (I know redundant), pulled out in front of because she was trying to light a cigarette and ignoring the stop sign and me.

But that aint nothin compared to what heckmann posted...TPW GB.
