GM's thread about nothing (27 Viewers)

Sconch, GM & others with 2 boys, do they almost constantly fight with each other? I think Mrs. SLB has said "stop it boys" about a thousand times the last few days.

I'll hang up and listen.

Oh, yeah, the boys were getting bored and wanted to come in and I had a terrible something bubbling in my bowels so I agreed going in was a GREAT idea. Get the boat back and docked and I realize I can't move or I'll mess myself. My lip with quivering and I may have been crying a little when Mrs. SLB asked me if I wanted her to get the car and drive down to the dock to pick me up so I wouldn't have to maneuver up the hill. I haven't agreed to sex as fast as I agreed to that arrangement It seemed like she was taking forever and I quickly began going through my options. I didn't see any way out of this one so I unbuttoned my pants and that scene from War Games started going through my head, keys were getting turned, sirens were going off. Then, thank God, it stopped and sh arrived at the bottom of the hill. So I made it back to home base just in time. Stupid IBS.

Oh hell yeah. All the time. They only stopped (at least 95% of the time) a couple of years ago.I had two older brothers that were about a year apart. They used to share a room until they got to junior high age. Then my parents split them up since they were big enough to really hurt each other and put holes in walls and crap.
 
Super 8

I was really looking forward to this, so I went out and caught the midnite showing last night. I was hoping that it was going to recreate the magic of the old Speilberg/Amblin movies I remember so fondly. The entire film felt like an homage to those films, attempting to catch the art direction, tone, and focus, and doing commendable job. It worked out ok as a movie and I pretty much liked it, but it did not have nearly the impact its predecessors had. Maybe that's because I have changed so much I can no longer appreciate it the way I once had, or maybe it was just not in the same league as the earlier ones.

My main beefs were: the father of the protagonist was just too non-stop of a ####/jerk. I see that a lot in movies now, a family member being portrayed absolutely black and then at the end of the film they are really just a super guy. A little grey in the second act would be helpful. Also, most of the scares were when the director cheated with sound at deafening levels. Its one thing to scare me because something pops out of the darkness, its another thing to jolt me out of my seat with sheer noise. Finally I did not like the casting of the boy director. A fat kid was fine, but couldn't he have a little bit of charisma?

Overall, pretty good, despite my long complaints, I just had such high hopes. Go in with lowered expectations and you should enjoy.

3/5 stars

 
When I get around to it, I'm going to compile a list of all the things my boys have fought over and then, when they are older and the time is right, I'm going to read it off to them, hoping the embarrassment is equal to the amount of ire their arguments have caused me over the years.

If my boys were two European countries in 1915, their Powder Keg to WWI would emminate from a skirmish over who gets to push the elevator button first. 3 years ago, we spent 7 days/nights in Maui in a sweet condo on the 11th floor (LOOK AT ME). By day 2, we had to implement a system of elevator button pushing to prevent the two of them from killing each other. One boy got to push the 'call button', the other got to push the destination floor. Any quibbling and one of the adults got to push the button. This elevator button pushing has continued on ever since. They still race to see who can push the button first. I force them to take the stairs now.

Who gets to control the remote? Who gets to select the water temperature in the shower (we used to make the shower at the same time to save time; still do sometimes)? Who gets to pick the DVD in the car? Who gets the #1 WII remote? They race from the bus stop to the house. They race from the car to the front door. They race for spots on the couch.

I wish I wrote more of these down. Thankfully my wife has a good list in her head and her brain isn't as worn down and tainted the way mine is. But I assure you, at 8 and almost 7, these guys battle it out and their favorite thing in the world is when they get time away from each other (sometimes, Flaghoople and I will split them up for a night or two - it's good to get some one on one time with them).

But they also get along pretty well too. They are just constantly around each other. They share a room at my house and have some of the same friends. I fought with my sister constantly growing up, but we also got along too. Goes in waves for many siblings close in age.

FMLITA

The most recent exchange that was at least amusing.

C: Dylan if you don't get your hands away from me I'm going to cut them off!

D: I'll cut your head off.

C: I'll cut your whole body off!

D: I'll cut your head off an make waffles out of it!

C: I'll cut your face off, put it in the freezer then build a robot and put your face on it!

Mrs. SLB: Boys, stop it.

I'm going to Harter House for an attitude adjustment something to grill. Kind of glad it isn't closer to the house.

:shrug: I didn't make it. I was once again trying to capture highlights of my youth. And failing.
 
This thread certainly has me excited for the birth of our second son in August. Need to make sure AngryWife doesn't read it.

 
I have a 3-year old girl and a 10-month old boy and it's already starting. The little guy can't really fight back so she basically dominates him right now, but whereas she's tiny for her age he's huge for his, so it's only going to be a matter of time before he's stronger and can turn the tables. Not looking forward to that.

 
Lots of conflict between my 4 year old and 17 month old boys. The 4 year old is dominating now, but I can already tell the 17 month old is going to be bigger and more athletic. We have spent a ton of time and energy trying to keep them separated over the past year.

My oldest boy kind of doesn't count in the equation because he's 8 and 11 years older than his brothers but only 2 and a half between the youngest boys. The youngest boys fight constantly. CONSTANTLY.

All of this is the same with us. They share a room even though right now they don't have to. When one sleeps out at grandparents or a friends house for the night, the other misses them to pieces.
 
Just me and the boys tonight. A rare MAN NIGHT!!! Friday's are usually a family dinner with my parents and sister's family, but tonight, my wife is out with a bunch of other moms from the school and I'm trying to take it easy as I've got the half marathon tomorrow. Already on PBR #3, though. :unsure: Hope that doesn't haunt me in the morning as I have a terrible phobia about pooping in a port-a-let with impatient people behind the door, waiting for me to hurry. I'd almost rather get bit by a copperhead.

I told the boys to figure out our MAN NIGHT agenda for tonight as they've been playing outside with their buddies since school let out. They want to get pizza and rent movies from Blockbuster (yes, we still go to Blockbuster for movies...I know there are options that are easier, cheaper and better, but we like Blockbuster and it kills 15 minutes every time). They have the ability to get a long and negotiate, they just don't opt to harnass that superpower all the time.

 
Any good movies to rent out there? Any 'new releases' I might have missed*?

*I go to maybe 2 movies a year, so I've missed almost everything. But I hate crap. Those movies Frost listed? I wouldn't last 2 minutes in any of them. I'm very very partial to documentaries.

Recital update. Tonight is of course the full dress rehearsal. They are on routine 22 out of a total of 58. It's 9pm where I live and the rehearsal started at 630.

Thank baby Santa Jesus I got to stay home with my youngest. Despicable Me for us. She's only 4 but likes it so far.

Rented "Gremlins" last week for little Zooks. I forgot there was a couple of graphic scenes involving a blender and a microwave that probably aren't the best scenes for a 4 year old to see. He laughed anyways.

Tufnel is going to be pissed. Unless the off is just for the sequel. That might be somewhat acceptable.This year my son and I enjoyed Ghostbusters, Karate Kid, and Willy Wonka. And Space Balls... good choice there.

I need to watch Goonies and Back to the Future with him. Somewhat related, the recent GI Joe movie was terrible but the A-Team was fun.
