In more ways than one.OK,how about Courtney Love?
You've got me there. But I'm not claiming it's any sort of silver bullet or anything.
My friend's 15-year-old niece performed on Saturday in the finale show for the Delta Girls Rock Camp. It's a week-long camp for girls 10-17 mostly to develop confidence but under the guise of teaching them music, music-writing, etc. We had gone out to dinner on Friday night with them, and the niece specifically asked my friend if we would come to the show, so it was impossible to say no.Nine bands, about 50 girls total, dressed very slutty and with tons of make-up, with a performance style that tended toward as sexy as 10-17 year-olds can manage. I couldn't help but think of Homer the whole time. :shrug:

 
:shrug: And honestly there are probably only like 50 or 60 cars on the whole island of Nova Scotia so the odds of hitting another car are tiny.

SHARK WEEK!

I am trying to get Mr. krista4 to go shark diving in South Africa while we're there. Though he's not thrilled at the idea of being separated from the great whites by a little metal cage, his biggest objection seems to be that we would have to start our day at 5:30 a.m. :lmao:
When I watch those "animals gone wild" type shows and see some guy get his head stuck in a crocs mouth or mangled by a bear, I cheer on the animal. What kind of idiot sticks their head in a crocs mouth or sits down in a small room with a bear? It's the sharks ocean, I'm happy to stay the f' out of his crib.
You're never gone swimming in the ocean?! :lmao: Do you not swim at all, or just not in the ocean?Sadly for the thrill-seeking part of me, this is seemingly scary but with virtually zero actual danger. No one has ever been killed doing it, and only one person actually attacked and hurt, as opposed to the few thousand who have been attacked and several hundred who have died from shark attacks while swimming, surfing, etc. Three people died when one of the little boats sank a couple of years ago, but I take that risk on every trip I take in order to get to these far-flung locations. It's my least favorite part of every trip since one of my only two fears in the world is drowning (the other, clowns).

I'd do it even if there were more risk, though. Sharks are incredibly fascinating creatures, and the thought of being able to swim so close to one is too enticing. And I like extreme stuff like bungee, sky-diving, etc. anyway.
I'm in the middle of the North Atlantic. STaying out of the ocean is advisable. I've swam in the ocean in Florida. When I see a fin, I gtfo. One guy says "hey lady, thats just a dolphin" Guess what? Still bigger than me. I ain't fightin the moose over the forest either.

Congrats Oats!Kids are great. You spend 20 percent of the time thinking, man, I should have done this sooner. You got another 10 where you really need another beer. The remaining 70 you spend trying to figure out how to fake your own death and move to Mexico.
that's deadly accurate posting there
 
Someone linked that video after I posted a long, probably boring story about my mom hitting a Bobcat trailer (with the Bobcat on it) backing out of the driveway. Short version: car not in the garage, 25' long by 15' high with the Bobcat on it... mom walks outside with the trailer parked 10 feet behind the car, proceeds to back-up, makes the turn and slams into the thing with the passenger side door. She got out, checked the damage, and blamed my stepfather for parking it there. :lmao: Anyway, I think the moral to the story (sorry Early) is that while men have more horrific accidents, usually of the "Hey y'all, watch this" variety, women bump into random #### all the time. I've also had to park a car for a little old lady once in a similar fashion to that section of the video, and also in one fortunate incident in college which led to a nice, short-lived "relationship" with a coed.

My mom actually taught me how to drive offensively. My dad was a driver's ed teacher (football coach), so he was more of the speed limit kind of guy. It's baffling to me, but once my mom hit about 45 y/o, she lost all driving abilities and might as well be 90 y/o with an oversized Caddy. She went from someone who made a 100+ mph adventure across town to catch a flight to Colorado when I was about 15 to a person who can't figure out how to make an effective lane change now. She actually drove ambulances for a while too, kind of as a hobby. I've actually had conversations with her about this and even she knows while not being able to figure out why.

 
Oat -> for serious, if there's one thing I can tell you about being a father, it's that it just keeps getting better. Every day with my daughter (age 2.5) has been awesome and the best day of my life, and then the next day is even better. Every age stage seems so perfect and I never want her to change, but when she does, it just gets better. You are in for the best ride of your life my friend. And if I can give you one piece of advice it would be to cherish everything and remember everything. My little girl isn't even three yet, but I already feel like so much time has passed and she's gotten so big. I know that before I know it we'll be going to meat raffles together.

I'm not exactly sure why I'm feeling so nostalgic and fatherly right now (it's probably the booze) but you should look forward to it. Being a daddy is the best.

Really seems that there's no need to start a new thread for anything now.

So if I were going to start a new thread, I might ask what to do in Amsterdam for a 24-hour layover. Assume no interest in drugs (sorry, GBGM) or hookers (sorry, all). Getting in around 11 a.m. and leaving the next day around the same time. Restaurants, points of interest (looks like the Anne Frank house is not so interesting?), etc.?

 
since we're talking travel plans in here, anyone have any advice for Austalia?
Jump over to New Zealand and walk the Mordor Trail.
yeah, sounds great but not going to have time for that. wanted to hit NZ but decided on scuba diving in the GBR from Cairns instead. also hitting Sydney and Melbourne.

Swimming with sharks in South Africa and diving the Great Barrier Reef are actually two of the things I desperately want to do. You people are living my life.

I have to agree with everything here. I also have a daughter who is 2.25 today. The first day you walk in the door from work and she runs up to you yelling "daddy home" and gives you a big hug is one of those things you don't forget, then you feel that she has a diaper full of #### and you get to change it. Good times.

Exactly. Every night I have to change my daughter when I go to bed, whether thats 10:30 or 12:30, because she can't get through the night on one diaper (even a fancy night time diaper with dora on it). That may seem like an annoyance, and it is, but every single time after I change her and lay her back in bed when I say "I love you Abby" and she will respond "I love you Daddy" in a whisper that just kills me. I don't know. You really do spend 50% of your time wondering how you can fake your own death and move to Mexico, but I think once you got there you'd want to come back after a week.
